Why Carterville Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Carterville has a city population of 9,550 and sits within a growing regional market that supports steady construction and landscaping demand. A 1.20% annual growth rate points to consistent, ongoing projects rather than a sudden boom—meaning homeowners can expect regular neighborhood upgrades, infill development, and gradual increases in property improvements. With a metro area population of 2.6+ million nearby, regional development pressures can influence local labor availability and material sourcing. Local climate and geography — 228 sunny days annually, 35.50 inches of rain each year, and hardiness zone 8b — create a long workable season but also require attention to drainage, UV exposure, and erosion control. For Carterville homeowners, quality bulk materials (gravel, sand, dirt, mulch, and stone) matter because properly graded aggregates and consistent mixes reduce rework, control runoff, and support long-term plant and pavement performance.Popular Projects in Carterville This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Carterville Gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in Carterville.
Common projects include driveways and parking pads, patios and walkways, garden beds and lawn topdressing, drainage fixes and erosion control, and grading or base work for sheds and pools. Homeowners and contractors often order bulk quantities of gravel, sand, dirt, stone for these uses. Planning the right depth and area up front helps avoid multiple deliveries.
Carterville sees freeze-thaw cycles and seasonal rain, so choose materials that drain well and resist frost heave for load-bearing surfaces. For planted areas, use mixes that retain moisture in summer but avoid heavy, fine soils that stay saturated in wet periods. Regional sourcing means materials reflect local geology, so expect variation and ask about local performance.
Hello Gravel serves Carterville (primary zip 62918) and surrounding zip codes subject to availability; check your zip code on our site. Minimum orders generally start at 3 tons and deliveries are made by dump truck (typically tri-axle). Standard delivery requires 2+ business days, while next-day delivery is available for orders placed before noon CST for an additional fee.
Prices vary by material type, quantity, local supplier rates, and haul distance, so exact figures depend on your order. In general, expect modest regional variation across West Illinois; use our online quote tool or request a custom estimate to see current pricing for gravel, sand, dirt, or stone. Sliding scale discounts can apply for larger volumes or repeat contractor orders.
Permit rules vary by project type and location; small decorative landscaping usually does not need a permit, while driveway expansions, curb cuts, or changes to stormwater flow may. Check Carterville city department or Williamson County building/zoning office for specific permit requirements before starting work. If unsure, contact our team for guidance on what to ask local officials.
Materials that drain freely and compact well are typically best in freeze-thaw conditions, so coarser, angular aggregates often outperform fine, silty dirt in driveways and bases. Properly installed layers, good grading, and compaction are as important as material choice for resisting frost heave. For landscapes, use mixes suited to plant needs and that avoid trapping water against foundations.
Spring and early fall are usually the most reliable times for landscaping and hardscape work, with milder temperatures and lower peak demand. Summer works well for grading and compacting but can be hot and dusty; winter deliveries are possible but can be limited by frozen ground and weather delays. Booking in advance helps you secure preferred dates and avoid seasonal price or availability spikes.
Some local suppliers and haulers offer add-on services like screening, small-scale grading, or containment, but offerings vary by supplier and equipment availability. Hello Gravel coordinates with local partners and can include notes about additional services at checkout, but any on-site work is subject to the supplier and driver's discretion. Tailgate spreading is sometimes available but not guaranteed, so request it and be prepared for the driver to assess safety upon arrival.
Local soils that hold moisture or have high clay content can cause poor drainage and faster deterioration if not addressed, so choose base materials and profiles that promote runoff away from structures. Raised profiles, proper slope, and a well-draining base layer help reduce standing water and extend material life. If unsure, test a small area or consult a local contractor before ordering large quantities.
Ask about minimum order size, delivery lead time and access requirements, truck type and drop procedure, material source and gradation, expected ton-to-cubic-yard conversions, compaction recommendations, any extra fees, and whether spreading or small equipment support is available. Also confirm return or dispute procedures and get delivery photos if possible. Clear communication up front prevents surprises on delivery day.
Measure the length, width, and depth of the area you plan to cover and use a material calculator to convert cubic feet to cubic yards or tons; Hello Gravel provides an online calculator and guidance. For common jobs like driveways and patios, typical depths range from 2 to 6 inches for surface layers and more for base layers—adjust based on intended use and local soil. When in doubt, order a little extra to allow for compaction and grading.
Deliveries arrive by dump truck and drivers will place material as requested, weather and site access permitting; typical fleets are tri-axle dump trucks. The driver may offer tailgate spreading at their discretion, but this is not guaranteed, so plan where you want material staged. Inspect the load and site before the driver leaves and take photos if there are issues so our team can help resolve them.
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.
