Why Carbondale Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Carbondale has a population of 19,530 and sits within a growing regional market that contributes to steady construction and landscaping demand. A 1.20% annual growth rate signals gradual but consistent new builds, renovations, and exterior upgrades—from driveway repairs and patio bases to garden regrading and drainage projects. With 228 sunny days and 35.50 inches of annual rainfall in a hardiness zone of 8b, local projects need materials that balance weather exposure and water management. That means homeowners and contractors are choosing aggregates and soils that promote good drainage, resist erosion in heavy rains, and support plantings that thrive in the local climate. Quality bulk materials—sand, dirt, mulch, and a range of stone and gravel sizes—matter here because they determine how well driveways hold up, how quickly rainwater drains, and how landscapes establish over time.Popular Projects in Carbondale This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Carbondale Gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in Carbondale.
Material prices in Carbondale reflect local supply, hauling distance, and seasonal demand. Regional sourcing means gravel, sand, dirt, stone may vary in cost and appearance, and delivery fees or taxes can change totals. Use our quote tool or contact our team for an up-to-date price for your zip code.
Start by matching the material to the job needs: load-bearing areas need good compaction and drainage, while decorative areas prioritize color and texture. Consider drainage, needed depth, and how the material will be compacted; gravel, sand, dirt, stone each serve different roles in base layers, leveling, or surfacing. If you’re unsure, use our material quiz or contact our team for guidance.
Yes. Carbondale’s seasonal freeze-thaw cycles and rainfall can affect drainage and settling, so choose materials that drain well and resist erosion. Plan major installs for drier months when possible, and allow for settling when using gravel, sand, dirt, stone in cold or wet seasons.
Measure the project area (length x width) and decide on the depth, then convert cubic feet to tons using our calculator or guidelines. It’s common to order 5% to 10% extra to allow for compaction and waste, and note that our minimum order is 3 tons. Use our online material calculator or call our team for a quick estimate.
Standard delivery is typically 2+ business days, with a next-day option available for orders placed before noon CST for an extra fee. You can choose a preferred delivery date at checkout, and we’ll confirm with you before dispatch. Tailgate spreading may be available at the driver’s discretion and is not guaranteed.
Most deliveries use tri-axle dump trucks that need reasonable turning radius, driveway width, and no low overhead wires. If access is tight, provide photos and detailed delivery notes at checkout so the hauler can plan. Additional fees or alternative drop locations may be required if a site is inaccessible.
Natural and regionally sourced materials will vary in color and texture, so exact matches to photos aren’t guaranteed. You can add color or appearance preferences in Order Notes, and we can try to match local characteristics, but expect some natural variation in gravel, sand, dirt, stone. Contact customer service if you have concerns about appearance before delivery.
Drivers may offer tailgate spreading at their discretion, and you can request it at checkout, but it is not guaranteed. Spreading depends on safety, equipment, and site conditions, so plan for hired labor or tools if you need precise grading or finished surfaces. If spreading is essential, discuss options with our team before delivery.
Some deliveries may require permits for street parking, driveway blocking, or heavy truck access depending on local rules. Check with Carbondale city offices if you expect curbside unloading, street closure, or unusual staging needs. We can’t obtain permits for you, so plan ahead if local permissions are likely.
Choose materials that promote drainage and resist washout, and confirm any local environmental regulations before starting work. Carbondale’s proximity to streams and lakes means you may face restrictions on disturbed soil or runoff, so coordinate with local authorities and select suitable gravel, sand, dirt, stone mixes. Our team can suggest options that improve drainage and stabilization.
Contact our customer service as soon as possible; order changes are easiest before the order is dispatched to the hauler. We will make our best effort to accommodate modifications, but changes may be limited once processing or trucking arrangements are underway. See checkout confirmation for specific timing and contact info.
Sales tax and any local fees are applied based on delivery location and appear in your checkout total. Additional charges can include next-day delivery fees, special access fees, or charges for failed attempts due to site inaccessibility. If you have questions about the breakdown, our customer service team can explain the line items on your quote.
Spring through early fall is ideal for most landscaping because the ground is easier to work and materials install better in dry conditions. Winter deliveries are possible but can be delayed or complicated by frozen ground, snow, or icy roads, and some materials may be harder to spread when frozen. Plan projects around local weather and allow extra time in shoulder seasons.
Order with lead time to secure trucks, specify staging and access instructions, and consolidate orders to reduce multiple truck trips. Account for local geology by requesting regional material specs and always include a buffer for waste and compaction when calculating quantities for gravel, sand, dirt, stone. Contact our sales team for account assistance, bulk pricing, and delivery coordination.
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.
