Why Crescent City Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Crescent City has a population of 640, situated within a larger metro that supports 2.6+ million residents and is seeing steady growth at 1.20% annually. That steady expansion means steady demand for home upgrades, new driveways, landscape refreshes, and small-scale construction. In this climate—228 sunny days a year with 35.50 inches of annual rainfall and a hardiness zone of 8b—homeowners and contractors need materials that balance durability with drainage. Well-graded aggregates, stable base soils, and moisture-tolerant top layers perform better here than materials selected without regard to sun exposure, runoff, and seasonal vegetation. Local trends toward outdoor living spaces, low-maintenance yards, and incremental property improvements make reliable bulk deliveries of gravel, dirt, sand, mulch, and stone essential for timely project completion and long-term performance.Popular Projects in Crescent City This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Crescent City Gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in Crescent City.
Delivery cost depends on material type, order size, and distance from local suppliers. Expect pricing to include a per-ton material charge plus a delivery fee; Hello Gravel provides clear, upfront pricing at checkout and you can check your zip code to see specific rates for Crescent City, Illinois. Minimum orders generally start at 3 tons. Next-day delivery is available for orders placed before noon CST for an extra fee.
Choose materials based on use rather than a single product: look for durable, well-draining aggregates for driveways and freer draining mixes for planting beds. Due to regional sourcing in West Illinois, texture and color can vary, so pick a material grade suited to traffic, drainage, and the look you want. Our material quiz and sales team can help match options to Crescent City conditions.
Plan around freezing and thawing seasons—late fall through early spring can slow deliveries and affect compaction and installation. Summer is busiest for deliveries and landscaping, so allow extra lead time and consider ordering earlier. Standard delivery typically takes 2+ business days, so schedule with that in mind.
Most suppliers and Hello Gravel require a minimum order of about 3 tons. Deliveries are usually made by dump trucks (commonly tri-axle), which will affect how close the truck can get to the drop-off and how material is spread. If access is tight, mention it in Order Notes so we can match the right hauler.
Measure the length, width, and depth of the area to calculate cubic yards, then multiply by a compaction factor if needed and convert to tons using the material density. Use Hello Gravel’s material calculator for an easy estimate, or contact our team with your dimensions and project type for guidance. Always order a small extra amount (5-10%) to account for settling and grading.
Some projects may require local permits, especially for significant grading, drainage changes, or driveway ties into public roads. Crescent City has local rules that can differ from surrounding West Illinois communities, so check with the city or county building department before starting large projects. If you’re unsure, our team can point you to common local contacts to confirm permit needs.
Suppliers vary by material availability, truck access, and local sourcing; prices reflect those differences as well as haul distance to Crescent City. Hello Gravel aggregates quotes from trusted local suppliers and shows transparent pricing so you can compare options. Consider delivery windows, spreading services, and supplier reviews alongside unit price.
Some local suppliers and haulers have relationships with contractors or can share installation referrals, but offerings vary by area. Hello Gravel can sometimes connect you with local contractors or point you to resources, but we do not guarantee installation services. Request referrals in Order Notes or contact our sales team for recommendations.
Consider surface runoff, slope, and local freeze-thaw cycles when selecting materials—well-draining aggregates help reduce standing water and erosion on slopes. Combining appropriate base layers and edging with the right material grade improves stability and reduces migration. If you have a specific drainage problem, our team can recommend material approaches that address both stability and water management.
Yes, regional suppliers often offer recycled or locally sourced aggregates, and availability depends on local geology and processing facilities in West Illinois. Recycled options can be cost-effective and sustainable but may vary more in consistency and appearance than virgin materials. Compare unit pricing and inspect sample deliveries where possible to ensure the material meets your project needs.
Natural and regionally sourced materials can vary in color and texture, so slight differences from photos are normal. Contact Hello Gravel as soon as possible to request order changes; we will do our best to accommodate requests before processing and dispatch but cannot guarantee all changes. If there’s a quality concern after delivery, contact customer service promptly and refer to our refund policy for next steps.
As of today, we require 2 business days for delivery.

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.
