Materials Available for Delivery
Road Base
(Class 5 | ABC | Crusher Run) A mixture of crushed limestone or granite, gravel, and sand, ranging from 1 ½” in size down to fines (small particles). Commonly used for constructing roads, driveway bases, parking lots, and other paved and unpaved surfaces. Intended to be compacted, hence the inclusion of fines within the material to provide support and be resistant to erosion and shifting.
Compost
Premium compost packed with organic nutrients—perfect for revitalizing tired soil and supporting strong, healthy plant growth. Ideal for mixing into garden beds, raised beds, and landscapes needing a natural boost.
#57 Crushed Stone
Multi-use crushed stone for home & landscape projects. Ranging from ¾” to 1” in size, #57 stone is a versatile product used for concrete production, drainage applications, driveways, parking lots, and as base material under slabs and footings. Large enough to provide drainage but small enough to lock together when applied and create a stable base and a relatively smooth surface.
Black Shredded Mulch
Rich black shredded hardwood mulch made from oak, hickory, and maple. Holds in moisture, blocks weeds, and gives your garden beds a bold look that makes green plants and colorful flowers stand out.
Red Shredded Mulch
Red shredded bark and wood from hardwoods like oak, hickory, and maple. Good for gardening and landscaping. Helps hold moisture, block weeds, and adds a bold, red pop to your outdoors.

Why Bridgeport Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Bridgeport is a small but active community with a city population of 2,180, and its steady 1.20% annual growth rate points to consistent, ongoing demand for home improvements rather than a brief construction surge. That steady expansion means more driveway repairs, landscaping refreshes, and small additions that need reliable bulk materials. Local climate and geography — 228 sunny days and 35.50 inches of annual rainfall in hardiness zone 8b — create a need for materials that balance moisture management and sun exposure. Homeowners benefit from regionally sourced gravel, sand, dirt, mulch, and other aggregates that are sized for local soils and drainage needs, reducing the chance of settling, erosion, or premature surface failures over time. Bridgeport's combination of moderate rainfall and abundant sun creates practical requirements for drainage, compaction, and plant establishment across projects. Landscapes often need topsoil or amendments to support planting, while hardscapes and driveways require aggregates that compact well and shed water. For homeowners, that means planning for proper grading, erosion control, and choosing materials that perform both when wet and under prolonged sun. Hello Gravel helps by connecting you with local suppliers who understand these conditions, offering regional material options, delivery scheduling, and simple calculators so you can order the right quantities and reduce rework.Popular Projects in Bridgeport This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Bridgeport Gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in Bridgeport.
Homeowners in Bridgeport often use a mix of materials—gravel, sand, dirt, stone—for driveways, pathways, patios, grading, and garden beds. Choices depend on function: some materials are better for drainage, others for load-bearing surfaces or topdressings. If you are unsure, use our material quiz or contact our team for recommendations based on your project goals.
West Illinois sees freeze-thaw cycles and seasonal rainfall, which influence settling, drainage, and frost heave. Choose well‑draining blends for sloped or wet areas and more angular, compactable materials for driveways and load-bearing surfaces. Expect some regional variation in texture and color because materials are sourced locally.
Hello Gravel requires a minimum order of 3 tons and typically delivers by dump truck (often tri-axle). Standard delivery is 2+ business days, and next-day delivery may be available for orders placed before noon CST for an extra fee. Tailgate spreading can be requested at checkout, but drivers perform spreading only at their discretion and it is not guaranteed.
Delivery costs depend on material type, distance from the supplier, load size, site access, and any requested services like spreading. Seasonal demand and fuel or local fees can also affect the price. For a firm quote, enter your zip code on our site or contact our sales team.
For drainage and erosion control, use materials with good permeability and a well-graded mix that resists washout while allowing water to pass. Combining a stable base layer with a coarser top layer and using geotextile fabric on steep slopes improves performance. Tailor choices to your slope, soil type, and expected water flow; our team can help match materials to those conditions.
The ideal window is generally spring through early fall when the ground is thawed and drier, which helps compaction and finishing. Avoid heavy rains and frozen ground, which can delay work or affect material performance. Schedule early in the season when contractor availability is higher and delivery is easier to coordinate.
Service varies by supplier and contractor. Hello Gravel connects you with local suppliers and haulers for material delivery, and many local contractors or suppliers offer installation and finishing services, but not all do. Confirm installation, spreading, and site-prep services with your supplier or contractor before ordering.
Some projects may require permits, driveway permits, or HOA approvals depending on location and scope of work. Local ordinances and HOA rules can affect material type, curb cuts, drainage plans, and setbacks. Check with the City of Bridgeport, your county building department, or your HOA before starting a project to avoid surprises.
As a general guide, small projects often start at the minimum order (3–10 tons), medium projects commonly need 10–30 tons, and large projects can exceed 30 tons. Use Hello Gravel's material calculator for a more accurate estimate based on area and desired depth, and contact our team if you need help converting volumes to tons for specific materials. Ordering a little extra for compaction and grading is a common practice.
Longevity depends on proper material selection, installation, drainage management, compaction, and the amount of traffic the surface receives. Freeze-thaw cycles and standing water accelerate wear, so good base preparation and water control reduce long‑term maintenance. Regular upkeep, such as topping up loose materials and repairing ruts, extends service life and keeps maintenance costs lower.
Start by defining the project function: drainage, load-bearing, aesthetic surfacing, or soil replacement. Consider climate, budget, desired appearance, and maintenance needs, and request local samples when possible since appearance varies by source. If in doubt, use our material quiz or contact Hello Gravel for tailored recommendations and a delivery quote.

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.

We request that you have someone available to accept the delivery so that we can make sure to dump it in the correct location. That’s it!
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!
