Walkway Gravel

1 1/2″ Crushed Gravel

Mason Sand
A fine, clean sand for construction and masonry. Use it under pavers or turf, mix it into mortar or soil, or spread it across your lawn to smooth out bumps and low spots in your lawn.
Crushed Concrete
Recycled concrete aggregate for construction & landscaping. Often used for road base and sub-base applications, as fill material, and for erosion control. Typically 1 ½” down to fines.

Why Elizabeth Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Elizabeth is a small community with a city population of 1,570, located within a wider regional market whose metro area population is 2.6+ million. A steady growth rate of 1.20% annually points to ongoing, measured demand for home improvements and incremental development rather than an immediate construction boom. With 228 sunny days annually, average annual rainfall of 35.50 inches, and placement in hardiness zone 8b, local conditions support year-round landscaping but require materials that handle both wet periods and prolonged sun exposure. That translates into broad homeowner needs for stable base materials for driveways and paths, well-graded soils and topdressing for planting beds, drainage-friendly aggregates for stormwater management, and organic products that support plant establishment and moisture retention. Sourcing quality, regionally appropriate bulk materials reduces surprises in color, texture, and performance on site.Popular Projects in Elizabeth This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Elizabeth Gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in Elizabeth.
Pricing depends on material type, quantity, distance from local suppliers, and seasonal demand. Local factors in Elizabeth and West Illinois, such as supplier availability and haul distance, can raise or lower delivered price. Contractors often get discounts on large orders, and Hello Gravel lists clear pricing and estimated delivery fees at checkout so you can compare options before ordering.
Contractors often choose materials based on subgrade, drainage needs, and expected traffic rather than a single product. In Elizabeth, professionals typically evaluate options like gravel, sand, dirt and stone as a group and select sizes and mixes suited for base layers, top surfaces, or leveling. Your contractor will balance durability, cost, and local availability to recommend the best mix for a driveway or landscape project.
Elizabeth experiences freeze-thaw cycles and seasonal rainfall that influence compaction and drainage. Materials grouped as gravel, sand, dirt and stone perform differently under these conditions, so selecting a mix with good drainage and proper compaction is important. Use materials that allow water to move away from structures and plan for frost heave by building a stable base and proper grading.
Standard delivery is usually 2+ business days, with next-day delivery available for orders placed before noon CST for an extra fee. Because suppliers in rural areas manage their own schedules, same-week delivery may be possible but depends on local truck availability and order size. Hello Gravel allows you to choose a preferred delivery date at checkout and will confirm timing once the local hauler is assigned.
Measure the length, width, and desired depth of your project in feet, then calculate cubic yards: length x width x depth (in feet) divided by 27. For practical ordering, account for compaction and waste by adding 5-10% for flat projects and 10-20% for deeper or irregular areas. Hello Gravel's material calculator and sales team can help convert your measurements into tons and suggest a safe ordering quantity.
Permit requirements vary by project type and local rules; simple deliveries of materials usually do not require a permit, but structural work, large grading, or changes to driveways may. Check with Elizabeth town offices or Jo Daviess County for local regulations before starting major work. If you are working with a contractor, they can help confirm permit needs and coordinate inspections when required.
Key factors include order size, haul distance from local quarries or yards, seasonal availability, and current fuel costs. Contractors often secure better per-ton pricing on large or repeat orders and may pass savings to customers when ordering multiple loads. Local geology in West Illinois affects material types and availability, so prices can vary compared with other regions.
Many local suppliers can schedule deliveries within a specific day, but narrow time windows are harder to guarantee in rural areas. Same-week delivery is often possible, especially for standard loads, but depends on truck availability and weather. You can select your preferred delivery date during checkout and the assigned hauler will contact you to confirm or refine the window.
Assess existing drainage patterns, slope, soil type, and any standing-water areas before choosing materials. Materials grouped as gravel, sand, dirt and stone vary in permeability and stability, so select options that improve drainage where needed and avoid materials that hold water in wet spots. For properties with poor soil or heavy clay, consider a well-draining base layer and proper grading to protect structures and plantings.
Contractors weigh load, traffic frequency, drainage and budget when selecting materials. For high-traffic areas they prioritize stability and compaction; for landscape beds they focus on appearance and weed control; for drainage features they choose more permeable mixes. Local experience in Elizabeth and West Illinois helps pros pick materials that balance long-term performance with maintenance needs.
Tailgate spreading may be available at the driver's discretion and can be requested at checkout, but it is not guaranteed. The driver will assess site conditions on arrival and perform spreading only if it can be done safely. For precise grading or full spreading, consider hiring a landscaper or contractor to follow up after delivery.
Contact Hello Gravel as soon as possible; changes are easier to accommodate before the order is processed or dispatched. Modifications depend on supplier and hauler schedules, so while the team will make a best effort, not all changes can be guaranteed. Check order confirmation for contact details and timelines to minimize disruption.
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.

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.
