#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.

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.
1 1/2″ Crushed Gravel
Larger 1 ½” gravel perfect for french drains, drainage ditches, catch basins, and erosion control. Also used in base layers for road projects in areas with poor soil conditions, as backfill material, and for ground cover applications where smaller stones may wash away.

Premium garden soil enriched with organic matter—essential for vigorous, healthy plant growth. Ideal for filling gardens, building raised beds, and enhancing tired or compacted soil. Fulfillment 20-40% organic is ideal

Why Canton Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Canton is a compact, steadily growing community with a city population of 11,970 and ties into a larger regional market of 2.6+ million people. A steady growth rate of 1.20% annually signals measured but persistent demand for residential renovations, new builds, and infrastructure upkeep—not the boom of a hot market but consistent work for landscapers and contractors. Canton’s climate—hardiness zone 8b with 228 sunny days and 35.50 inches of annual rainfall—supports year-round outdoor work but creates specific material needs: good drainage mixes to handle seasonal rains, sun-tolerant mulches and topsoils for plant health, and stable aggregates that resist settling under repeated wet-dry cycles. For homeowners that means ordering a range of bulk materials—gravel, dirt, sand, mulch, and stone—that are regionally sourced, matched to local soil behavior, and delivered on a schedule that fits project timelines.Popular Projects in Canton This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Canton Gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in Canton.
Homeowners and contractors in Canton commonly buy bulk materials grouped as gravel, sand, dirt, and stone for driveways, walkways, beds, and drainage work. Choose coarser, angular aggregates for driveways and drainage, finer materials for leveling or bedding, and topsoil or dirt mixes for planting beds. If you are unsure, use Hello Gravel's material quiz or contact our team for guidance based on your project.
Hello Gravel requires a minimum order of 3 tons and connects you with local suppliers that generally deliver within a regional radius (often about 25-50 miles) from Canton. Delivery availability and any long-distance charges vary by supplier and zip code, so enter your primary zip at checkout to see exact options and fees. Rural or hard-to-access sites may have extra charges or restrictions due to truck size and road limits.
In Canton’s climate look for materials that drain well and compact reliably to resist washout and frost heave. Materials with angular shapes and good gradation (a range of sizes) are better for structural work and drainage, while very fine materials can hold moisture and shift in freeze-thaw conditions. Also consider proper site preparation such as geotextile fabric, adequate slope, and compaction to extend performance.
Spring through early fall is the busiest season for deliveries and installations in West Illinois, so book early if you need materials for spring projects. Late fall can be a good time for materials if ground conditions allow, while winter deliveries may be limited by frozen ground and road restrictions. If you need materials quickly, use the next-day option (available before noon CST for a fee) or reserve a delivery date in advance.
Measure the area (length x width) and determine the desired depth in inches, then convert to cubic yards or tons using Hello Gravel’s material calculator for the selected material. Always add 5-10% for compaction and waste on most projects, and round up to meet the 3-ton minimum. Contact our team if you want help converting measurements or double-checking quantities for a specific project.
Suppliers servicing Canton source materials from local quarries, pits, and regional distributors, so color, texture, and availability reflect West Illinois geology. Local sourcing usually keeps prices lower and delivery simpler, while specialty or out-of-area materials can cost more and take longer to deliver. Seasonal quarry activity and demand spikes can also affect stock and lead times.
Common services include professional dump-truck delivery, optional tailgate spreading (at the driver’s discretion), and additional contractor services like grading, compaction, and final cleanup arranged separately. Hello Gravel coordinates delivery but can connect you with local contractors if you need installation help. Always confirm which services the hauler or contractor will provide before the job, since spreading is not guaranteed.
Many suppliers deliver to rural properties and small job sites around Canton, but delivery depends on road access, weight limits, and turnaround space for dump trucks. Notify Hello Gravel and the supplier about narrow drives, low-hanging wires, steep grades, or gated entrances so the hauler can assess feasibility and potential additional charges. If access is restricted, consider a nearby drop point or hire a smaller local truck for the final leg.
Scheduling typically follows the standard delivery window (2+ business days for standard delivery), and a small driveway project often takes one to a few days depending on site prep, material type, and weather. Costs depend on material type and quantity, site preparation needs (grading, removal of old material), and any contractor labor; get a custom quote to estimate price and timeline. Ordering materials early and preparing the site can help keep projects on schedule.
Yes, some Canton city ordinances, Fulton County regulations, or homeowners associations may have rules about street obstruction, curb cuts, hours for deliveries, and on-site material storage. Check with the City of Canton public works, your county building department, and your HOA before scheduling a large delivery to avoid fines or delays. When in doubt, contact Hello Gravel and we can remind you to verify local requirements.
Clear the intended drop area of vehicles, toys, and debris, and mark the desired delivery spot with flags or cones so the driver can see it from the road. Call Miss Utility to mark underground utilities if you'll be spreading or digging, and let the driver know about any access issues or desired spreading service at checkout. Be available on delivery day or leave clear written instructions, and remember that tailgate spreading is available at the driver's discretion and not guaranteed.
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.
