Why Earlville Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Earlville has a city population of 2,980 and sits within a larger, steadily expanding metro that supports growing housing and infrastructure demand. A regional growth rate of 1.20% annually signals steady, predictable development rather than boom-and-bust construction cycles, which means ongoing homeowner projects and gradual new builds. With 228 sunny days each year and 35.50 inches of annual rainfall, project schedules can often be planned year-round, but materials must balance sun exposure and periodic wet conditions. In practice that means homeowners need a mix of durable base materials for driveways and paths, well-graded soils for planting beds, and stable aggregates for drainage and erosion control. Quality bulk supplies—gravel, sand, topsoil, mulch, and crushed stone among others—help homeowners manage moisture, prevent settling, and create long-lasting landscapes and hardscapes suited to local conditions.Popular Projects in Earlville This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Earlville Gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in Earlville.
Homeowners and contractors in Earlville commonly choose a mix of materials such as gravel, sand, dirt, stone for driveways, paths, and garden beds. Choose based on the project: durable, angular aggregates for driveways and load-bearing areas; finer materials for leveling and planting beds; and coarser stone mixes for drainage and erosion control. Consider appearance, maintenance needs, and local climate when selecting a material. Use our material quiz or contact our team for help matching a material to your project.
Hello Gravel has a minimum order of 3 tons and standard delivery is scheduled for 2 or more business days after ordering. Next-day delivery may be available for orders placed before noon CST for an extra fee, but availability depends on local supplier and truck schedules. You can choose your preferred delivery date during checkout and we will confirm timing once a hauler is assigned.
Freeze-thaw cycles in northern Illinois can cause settling, heaving, and increased erosion if materials are not installed with proper drainage and compaction. For long-lasting results, select materials that allow water to drain, compact where needed, and plan for periodic top-up or regrading after severe winters. Consider seasonal timing when installing to avoid placing materials on frozen or overly wet ground.
The best time to order is spring through early fall when ground conditions are stable and haulers are most available; this reduces the risk of frost heave or muddy access. Winter deliveries are possible but may be limited by weather, frozen ground, and truck access, and some materials may not perform as expected if installed in freezing conditions. Schedule deliveries with a flexible date window and check local weather forecasts before installation.
For rural or low-access sites, Hello Gravel coordinates with local haulers to determine truck size and drop location; standard deliveries use dump trucks (typically tri-axle). If access is tight, we recommend noting this in Order Notes and discussing site constraints with our team so a suitable truck and driver can be assigned. Tailgate spreading may be requested at checkout but is performed at the driver's discretion and is not guaranteed.
Choose materials that promote infiltration and resist movement under flow, such as well-graded mixes and coarser aggregates that allow water to pass through. Combining grading, proper slope, and edge containment with appropriate material selection will reduce erosion risk. Regional sourcing means material size and texture may vary, so request guidance for your specific site and drainage needs.
Contractor practices vary; some include material delivery and basic placement in their quotes while others expect the customer to arrange materials and delivery separately. Always confirm with your contractor whether delivery, hauling, and spreading are included, and if not, whether they will manage or coordinate those services. Hello Gravel can deliver directly to you or to a contractor's staging area depending on your preference.
Contact our customer service as soon as possible if you need to change an order; changes are easier to accommodate before the order is dispatched. For overages or short deliveries, we work with local suppliers and haulers to resolve the issue, which may include returning excess material or arranging a top-up delivery depending on the situation and local supplier policies. Review our policies at checkout and keep photos and delivery tickets to help resolve discrepancies quickly.
Earlville may have local ordinances or homeowners association rules that govern driveway materials, curb appearances, or stormwater management, and requirements can vary by neighborhood. Check with your city offices or HOA before ordering to confirm any restrictions on material type, color, or coverage. When in doubt, request materials that meet the aesthetic and functional needs while staying flexible to local rules.

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.

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!
