Why Ashton Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Located in Ashton (city population 1,440) and serving a broader metro area of 2.6+ million, the local market is experiencing steady expansion at a rate of 1.20% annually. That steady growth translates into consistent demand for small-to-medium residential and infrastructure projects—driveways, drainage upgrades, garden renovations, and incremental commercial work—that rely on timely, quality bulk materials. Ashton's climate, with 228/year sunny days and moderate annual rainfall of 35.50 inches, plus placement in hardiness zone 8b, supports year-round work but also increases the need for materials that handle both wet periods and strong sun exposure. Because regional sourcing influences texture, color, and mineral composition, homeowners benefit from access to a range of aggregates, soils, sands, and mulches so they can match materials to grading needs, erosion control, planting success, and long-term durability.Popular Projects in Ashton This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Ashton Gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in Ashton.
Choose materials based on the project function: look for good drainage and stability for driveways and grading, finer materials for leveling and top layers, and decorative aggregates for patios or flower beds. In Ashton, regional sourcing means mixes of gravel, sand, dirt, and stone will vary, so pick material by performance (drainage, compaction, appearance) rather than name alone.
For freeze/thaw conditions, prioritize materials that compact well and allow water to drain away to reduce frost heave and washout. Consider the project's slope and drainage needs, and choose a mix of gravel, sand, dirt, and stone that supports drainage and stability rather than relying on a single product.
Use our material calculator for a precise estimate, but a simple way is to measure length, width, and desired depth and convert to cubic yards or tons. For most residential projects you will typically order by tons with a 3-ton minimum; contact us if you need help converting measurements or choosing an appropriate depth.
Standard delivery requires 2+ business days from order processing, and next-day delivery is available for orders placed before noon CST for an extra fee. Deliveries are made by local contracted dump truck fleets (usually tri-axle); confirm your zip code and preferred date at checkout to see available slots.
Yes, many local suppliers and haulers deliver to rural routes, but availability depends on the specific access, driveway width, and any local restrictions. Check your zip code at checkout and add delivery notes; our team can confirm if there are extra charges or special instructions needed for tight or remote access.
Drivers may offer tailgate spreading at their discretion, but it is not guaranteed and depends on site safety, access, and local hauling practices. You can request spreading in the Order Notes at checkout, and the driver will assess feasibility upon arrival.
Materials are sourced locally, so color, texture, and particle shape will reflect West Illinois geology and may differ from photos or samples. This variation is normal; if appearance is important, note preferences in your order and reach out to our team for guidance before confirming.
Pricing varies by material type, quantity, and delivery distance; common factors include per-ton or per-cubic-yard rates, delivery fees, and minimum order sizes (3 tons). Use our price estimates at checkout or contact our sales team for a quote that includes delivery to your address.
Plan ahead in peak seasons (spring and fall) and during extreme weather; scheduling at least a few days to a week in advance helps secure your preferred date. For larger or contractor jobs, book earlier to reserve trucks and materials, and consider next-day delivery options for urgent needs placed before noon CST.
Contractors often ask about bulk pricing, truck sizes, material gradation, lead times, and delivery access for staging and offloading. Provide project details—estimated tonnage, site access, and preferred delivery window—so we can match you with the right supplier and hauling equipment.
If you have poorly draining soil or a low spot on your property, choose materials that improve drainage and stability, and consider a layered approach (base material plus surface aggregate). Test slopes and drainage paths on your site, and contact us for recommendations tailored to common local conditions in West Illinois.
Contact our customer service team as soon as possible to request changes; modifications are easier before the order is dispatched but cannot be guaranteed. We will do our best to accommodate adjustments and will explain any timing or fee implications based on the order status.
As of today, we require 2 business days for delivery.

We cannot get out of the truck and manually spread it. However, depending on the location, safety, and comfortability of the driver – we may be able to tailgate spread your material. This involves pulling the truck forward as material is being dumped to make it easier for you to distribute material after delivery.
The minimum order size is 3 tons.
Hassle Free! Our goal is to make the buying process for gravel and other aggregates as easy and seamless as possible.

After the order is placed our in-house support team will contact you to confirm the details. We will send additional confirmations on the day before and the day of delivery.

No, because we are a national supplier, we utilize our existing network of suppliers across the country. Therefore, the materials will likely be delivered from a contracted trucking company.
