Why Broadlands Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Broadlands is a small but active community with a city population of 410, located within a growing metro area with a metro area population of 2.6+ million. A growth rate of 1.20% annually points to steady, ongoing demand for housing updates, new landscaping, and small-scale construction projects as homeowners invest to modernize properties. Local climate and geography — including 228 sunny days annually, annual rainfall of 35.50 inches, and a hardiness zone of 8b — shape the kinds of materials that perform best here. Homeowners in Broadlands benefit from readily available bulk supplies for grading, drainage, foundations, garden beds, and outdoor living spaces; choosing durable, regionally sourced aggregates, soils, and mulches helps projects stand up to wetting and drying cycles and long periods of sun. Broadlands' combination of moderate rainfall and abundant sunshine creates material-performance considerations homeowners should factor into plans. Wetter spring and fall periods and frequent sun exposure influence compaction, settling, color fade, and decomposition rates, so permeability, particle size distribution, and organic content matter when selecting bulk materials. Hello Gravel helps by connecting homeowners with local suppliers and delivery options, providing quantity calculators and local guidance so buyers can match aggregates, soils, and other bulk supplies to Broadlands' specific climate and site conditions.Popular Projects in Broadlands This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Broadlands Gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in Broadlands.
Broadlands experiences wet springs, hot humid summers, and freezing winters, which all affect material handling. Avoid major earthwork during thaw and very wet periods to reduce tracking and compaction problems, and schedule deliveries for late spring through early fall when ground is firmer. For winter projects, plan for possible delays and limited truck access on snowy or icy roads.
Typical projects include driveway resurfacing, garden bed top-ups, grading and drainage fixes, base material for patios and walkways, and yard leveling or fill. Small planting beds often need 1-3 cubic yards, while driveways commonly require 10-50 cubic yards depending on size and depth. Contractors and DIYers both use bulk deliveries to save time on these jobs.
Start with the project goal: drainage and stability needs, final appearance, and load-bearing requirements. For base layers choose coarser, well-graded materials; for finish or planting beds pick finer materials. Also consider local climate and drainage — materials perform differently in freeze-thaw cycles — and ask suppliers about regional variations in texture and color.
Measure length, width, and desired depth in feet to get cubic feet, divide by 27 to convert to cubic yards, and then add 5-10% for waste and compaction. If you prefer weight, note that conversion varies by material; for a quick estimate many people use our online material calculator or contact our team with dimensions. Provide the project type and depth to get a more accurate quantity recommendation.
Hello Gravel’s standard delivery window is 2+ business days, with next-day available for orders placed before noon CST for an extra fee. In a tier 3 area like Broadlands, suppliers and quarries may be 20-60 miles away, which can add coordination time; remote sourcing can increase lead times to several business days. Always check estimated arrival in checkout and notify us early of tight schedules.
Minimum orders generally start around 3 tons, and delivery fees in West Illinois commonly range from a small flat fee to $25-$150 depending on distance, truck size, and site access. Material prices vary by type and regional supply, so total cost depends on both product and delivery. Use our checkout for transparent pricing or contact sales for a tailored quote.
Yes, check municipal rules and any HOA covenants before delivery — they may regulate truck access, parking, curbside dumping, or required permits for heavy vehicles. If you need the truck to park on the street, confirm local weight and parking restrictions and get any necessary permits ahead of time. If an HOA is involved, get written approval for visible changes or material storage on the property.
Confirm driveway width, gate clearance, overhead wires, turning radius, and any low bridges or soft shoulders before scheduling. Standard dump trucks are heavy and may be restricted on small residential streets or over private or rural bridges, so check for weight limits and call us if access is tight. If access is limited, ask about alternative delivery points or smaller truck options.
Central Illinois soils often include clay and loam, which can hold water and affect drainage; steeper slopes increase erosion risk and may need coarser materials and erosion control. For areas with poor drainage, choose materials that promote runoff or use geotextile fabric under heavier aggregates to stabilize the base. Consider adding a drainage layer or adjusting slope to direct water away from structures.
The best window is generally late spring through early fall when ground is dry and frost is unlikely, which helps compaction and grading. Avoid scheduling during spring thaw or immediately after heavy rains, as muddy conditions impair machinery and vehicle access. For winter work, expect more limited options and potential delays due to weather.

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.
