Why Dewey Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Dewey sits within the South Jacksonville, West Illinois area and is a small community of 850 residents inside a broader metro of 2.6+ million. A steady 1.20% annual growth rate points to ongoing, predictable demand for housing, street work, and yard improvements rather than sudden booms — meaning homeowners and local contractors will see a steady stream of projects over time. With 228 sunny days and 35.50 inches of rain each year in hardiness zone 8b, material choices must balance drainage, erosion control, and resistance to sun-driven breakdown. That makes quality bulk supplies — gravel, sand, dirt, mulch, and stone — important for long-lasting driveways, patios, planting areas, and stormwater solutions that perform in Dewey’s specific climate. Local soil conditions and seasonal patterns in Dewey create a mix of challenges: occasional heavy rains increase runoff and erosion risk, while frequent sun and warm growing seasons affect moisture retention and compaction. Materials with the right gradation, organic content, and compaction characteristics behave differently here than elsewhere; permeability and particle size matter for both plant health and structural stability. Hello Gravel helps homeowners navigate those trade-offs by connecting them to local suppliers familiar with South Jacksonville conditions, offering scheduling, transparent pricing, and tools to estimate quantities so you get materials suited to Dewey’s climate and steady growth-driven needs.Popular Projects in Dewey This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Dewey Gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in Dewey.
Costs depend on material type, quantity, distance from local suppliers, and whether you need expedited delivery or spreading. Use per-ton pricing multiplied by the tons needed, then add delivery fees; Hello Gravel provides upfront pricing and a material calculator to help estimate. For a precise number, check availability for your zip code and request a quote.
Hello Gravel connects you with local suppliers and arranges dump-truck delivery of bulk materials like gravel, sand, dirt, and stone. You can schedule delivery dates, request next-day service (for orders placed before noon CST), and ask for tailgate spreading, which drivers may do at their discretion.
Clear a safe, level drop zone that trucks can access and remove low-hanging branches, vehicles, or obstacles from the driveway or yard. Mark any underground utilities or delicate areas and add delivery notes at checkout to help drivers place the load where you want it.
Typical tri-axle dump trucks used by our network usually deliver multiple tons per load, but exact capacity varies by truck and material density. Hello Gravel lists minimum order sizes (typically 3 tons) and will confirm how many tons a truck will carry when you get a quote.
Calculate the area (length x width) and decide on the depth in inches, then convert to cubic yards and to tons using a general density factor; Hello Gravel's material calculator can do this for you. As a rule of thumb, project type and desired coverage depth will determine required tons, so plan for a small overage to account for compaction and grading.
Price is influenced by the type of material, local supply, haul distance, seasonal demand, and truck availability. Additional services like next-day delivery or requested spreading can add fees, and regional sourcing means costs reflect local geology and market conditions.
Coverage depends on material density and the depth you want; a ton can cover a small area at a deep depth or a larger area at a skim depth. Use a coverage calculator or contact our team with your project dimensions to get a reliable estimate for gravel, sand, dirt, or stone.
Yes—typical guidance uses depth rules: a few inches for decorative groundcover, 3 inches for organic mulch to suppress weeds, and deeper layers for base or drainage applications. Always choose depth based on the project: landscaping, erosion control, or structural base, and adjust for local conditions in Dewey.
For small projects, follow general layering: compacted subbase, a stable base layer, and a surface layer appropriate to the finish you want. Exact mix proportions vary by application, so consult your contractor or our team for recommendations that match local materials and climate.
You can place aggregates over dirt for short-term paths or drainage, but for lasting performance it's best to prepare the surface with grading, compaction, and an optional geotextile fabric or base layer. Proper prep reduces settling, rutting, and weed growth and improves long-term stability.
Standard delivery typically requires at least 2 business days, while next-day delivery is available for orders placed before noon CST for an extra fee. You choose your preferred date at checkout, and our dispatch team will confirm the delivery window; drivers may offer tailgate spreading at their discretion.
Natural materials vary by region, so color and texture can differ from photos; if you have concerns, contact customer service promptly with photos and order details. We will work to resolve the issue and guide you on next steps, including reviewing refund or replacement options per our policy.
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.
