Why Barrington Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Barrington (population 46,350) is part of a growing regional market that supports steady building and landscaping activity. A measured growth rate of 1.20% annually means demand for home improvements, yard upgrades, and small-scale construction projects is consistent rather than explosive — think steady infill, routine driveway and patio work, and ongoing landscaping refreshes. With a metro area population of 2.6+ million nearby, suppliers and haulers can support a variety of project sizes and timelines. Local climate and geography — including 228 sunny days per year, 35.50 inches of annual rainfall, and a hardiness zone of 8b — favor materials that balance drainage and durability. Homeowners in Barrington commonly need a mix of aggregates, topsoil, sand, mulch, and stone for erosion control, grading, patios, and beds. Because regional sourcing affects texture and color, choosing the right bulk materials upfront helps avoid rework and keeps projects on schedule.Popular Projects in Barrington This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Barrington Gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in Barrington.
Durability depends on the material’s ability to compact, shed water, and resist movement under traffic. Choose aggregates that compact well and form a stable base; installation quality, drainage, and edging often matter more than product name. In Barrington’s freeze-thaw climate, a well-prepared base and proper slope will extend any surface’s life.
Delivery fees vary with distance, truck access, and order size. Hello Gravel lists clear prices at checkout, many areas have free or low-cost delivery, and a minimum order is 3 tons; next-day delivery is available for orders placed before noon CST for an extra fee. Remote addresses, long drives, or difficult access may add a surcharge.
Freeze-thaw cycles can cause heaving, settling, and breakup of loosely bound surfaces if drainage and compaction are poor. Materials that drain well and a compacted base reduce freeze-thaw damage. Schedule work and choose materials with frost resistance in mind to limit seasonal movement.
Low-maintenance options are those that lock together, drain well, and resist erosion when properly installed. A stable base, good edge restraints, and correct slope reduce the need for frequent topping up or regrading. Regular simple maintenance like keeping drainage clear will keep any low-maintenance material performing well.
Local rules may apply for driveway modifications, curb cuts, or blocking public right-of-way during a delivery. Contact the Village of Barrington or Cook County for permit requirements before major changes, and let Hello Gravel know about permit needs so we can coordinate deliveries. For simple material drops most residential deliveries do not require permits, but check first for large projects.
Materials with open grading and good permeability perform best on slopes because they allow water to pass through rather than sit on the surface. Combine draining materials with proper slope grading, terraces, swales, or buried drains to control runoff. Adding a geotextile underlay can help prevent migration of fines and keep drainage channels open.
Spring through early fall is usually best for installation because ground conditions are easier to compact and work with. Avoid deep winter freezes and very wet periods that prevent proper compaction or cause rutting. Book materials ahead of peak spring and summer seasons to secure preferred delivery dates.
Standard delivery is typically 2+ business days from order, while next-day delivery is available for orders placed before noon CST with an additional fee. Lead times can lengthen in busy seasons, for specialty materials, or when truck access is limited. We provide a delivery calendar during checkout so you can choose a convenient date.
Measure the area in square feet and decide on the desired depth in inches to calculate volume, then convert cubic yards to tons using our material calculator. Hello Gravel’s online calculator and support team can estimate quantities for driveways, gardens, and grading projects. As a rule of thumb, plan a little extra (5-10%) for settlement and compaction.
Clear a safe access path for the truck, remove cars and obstacles, and mark the preferred drop location with flags or stakes. Check for overhead wires, low branches, and soft ground that could limit truck placement, and call 811 for utility locates if you will be digging. Let our team know about any access issues when you place the order so we can coordinate with the driver.
Drivers may be able to perform tailgate spreading at their discretion, but this is not guaranteed and depends on safety and site conditions. Tight or steep access may require the driver to dump at the most reachable spot, and you may need small equipment or labor to move material to the final location. Add any spreading or access notes at checkout so the driver can plan.
Materials are regionally sourced so color, texture, and gradation can vary from photos; this is normal for natural aggregates. Contact Hello Gravel as soon as possible to request changes—modifications are easier before the order is dispatched. If there is an issue on delivery, reach out to customer service and we will work to resolve it in line with our policies.
As of today, we require 2 business days for delivery.

The material will be delivered via dump truck. If your order is under 20 tons, then it will likely be just one dump truck load. If your order is more than 20 tons, it will be more than one dump truck load.

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.

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.
We specialize in making the aggregate buying process as easy and seamless as possible by managing the process from end to end. We have a network of suppliers that we source the materials from where we have negotiated rates. However, we do charge a markup and because of this you may be able to find the materials cheaper on your own. But if you want a hassle free experience, then we are for you!
