Why Compton Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Compton is a small but active community with a city population of 550 and access to a larger West Illinois metro area of 2.6+ million residents. A steady annual growth rate of 1.20% annually means construction and renovation demand is gradual but persistent—home improvements, infill housing, and infrastructure upgrades are likely to continue as the metro expands. Local climate and geography—hardiness zone 8b, 228 sunny days per year, and 35.50 inches of annual rainfall—create predictable seasonal patterns that shape material choices. Homeowners here benefit from a range of bulk materials: well-graded gravels and sands for drainage and base layers, screened soils and topsoil for plant beds, organic mulches for moisture retention, and durable stone for pathways and driveways. Quality, locally sourced aggregates matter because they match region-specific soils and weather, reducing surprises from settling, erosion, or drainage problems during projects.Popular Projects in Compton This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Compton Gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in Compton.
Homeowners and contractors in Compton typically choose from a mix of gravel, sand, dirt, stone depending on the project. Pick materials based on use—stable, angular mixes for driveways and paths, looser fills for grading or planting beds, and decorative blends for patios and borders. Regional sourcing means texture and color can vary locally, so check photos or request notes at checkout.
Freeze-thaw cycles and seasonal precipitation in Illinois can cause shifting and settling if materials and installation aren’t right. Choose materials with good drainage and compaction capacity for load-bearing uses, and plan for thicker bases or geotextile underlayment in areas that freeze. For planting areas, pick looser, well-draining mixes to avoid waterlogging in wet seasons.
Calculate area in square feet and decide the finished depth in inches, then convert to cubic yards (27 cubic feet per cubic yard). For example, 4 inches over 81 square feet equals about one cubic yard. Because weight per cubic yard varies by material, use Hello Gravel’s material calculator or contact our team for a tons estimate before ordering.
Hello Gravel requires a minimum order of 3 tons and offers standard delivery in 2+ business days with an option for next-day delivery if ordered before noon CST for an extra fee. Many areas have free delivery, but fees can vary by supplier distance and site access, so enter your zip code to see pricing and availability. Exact fees will appear at checkout before you pay.
Hello Gravel primarily coordinates material delivery via local suppliers and haulers; some suppliers or independent contractors may offer installation or spreading services. If you need installation, ask at checkout or contact our team for referrals to local contractors. Remember that tailgate spreading by drivers is possible but performed at their discretion and not guaranteed.
Permit and HOA requirements vary—some projects like new driveways, curb cuts, large dumps on public right-of-way, or visible landscaping changes may need approval. Check with the City of Compton, county offices, or your HOA before ordering to avoid delays or rework. If in doubt, our team can help point you toward local permitting resources.
The ideal window in Compton is late spring through early fall when ground is less likely to be frozen or waterlogged, which helps compaction and reduces mud. Schedule deliveries for drier weather when possible, and allow extra lead time in spring and fall when weather can be unpredictable. Next-day delivery options are available for urgent needs if ordered before noon CST.
Clear the drop zone of obstacles, protect nearby landscaping or pavement, and make sure a dump truck can safely access the site; measure gate widths and overhead clearances. Mark the preferred drop location and add Order Notes at checkout if access is tight. Drivers may be able to tailgate spread material at their discretion, but plan to have tools or a contractor ready for final spreading and compaction.
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.
Hassle Free! Our goal is to make the buying process for gravel and other aggregates as easy and seamless as possible.

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!
