Why Fairview Heights Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Fairview Heights serves homeowners in a community with a city population of 14,930 and steady growth of 1.20% annually. That steady, measurable growth tends to mean consistent demand for home improvements, landscaping updates, and small-scale construction rather than sudden booms — homeowners and local contractors are often the primary drivers of material needs. With 228/year sunny days and moderate annual rainfall of 35.50 inches, many exterior projects can move forward through much of the year, but materials still need to handle wet seasons and seasonal temperature swings. In practice this creates demand for a broad mix of bulk supplies — soils and topsoil for planting, aggregates for grading and drainage, sands and fines for leveling, and organic mulches for moisture management — and it raises the value of accurate quantities and timely delivery that match local geology and site conditions.Popular Projects in Fairview Heights This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Fairview Heights Gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in Fairview Heights.
Start by defining the project: a driveway, patio base, drainage swale, or garden bed each has different needs. Consider drainage, compaction, appearance, and budget, then shortlist materials that meet those needs (for example gravel, sand, dirt, stone as a group). Use a material calculator or contact our team with project dimensions and preferred look to get a recommended material and quantity.
Choose materials and assemblies that promote drainage and resist movement during freeze-thaw cycles; well-draining base layers and properly compacted aggregate help reduce frost heave. Regional sourcing matters, so pick a material mix suited to the West Illinois climate and pair it with good grading, slope, and drainage planning rather than relying on a single product.
Measure the length and width of the area and decide the depth you need, then calculate cubic yards: (area in ft2 x depth in ft) / 27. Convert cubic yards to tons using an approximate factor (many aggregates average about 1.2–1.4 tons per cubic yard), and remember Hello Gravel has a 3-ton minimum order; use our online calculator or contact us for a material-specific estimate.
Standard delivery is typically available in 2+ business days, and next-day delivery is an option for orders placed before noon CST for an additional fee. Deliveries are made by contracted dump truck fleets (often tri-axle trucks), you can choose a preferred delivery date at checkout, and drivers may be able to perform tailgate spreading at their discretion.
Delivery cost depends on factors like distance from the supplier, truck type, load size, site access, and any special services or rush fees. Some areas offer free delivery on qualifying orders, so the fastest way to get an accurate price is to enter your zip code on our site or request a quote for your specific project.
Permits and restrictions can apply if delivery requires blocking a public street, using a public right-of-way, or interfering with traffic; HOAs may also have rules about visible piles or truck access. Check Fairview Heights city regulations and your HOA before delivery, and let us know about narrow streets, overhead wires, or other access issues so drivers can plan accordingly.
Drivers may be able to place material close to the drop area and perform tailgate spreading at their discretion, but this is not guaranteed and depends on truck access and site safety. If you need precise placement or spreading guaranteed, consider hiring local labor in addition to ordering materials or note your request at checkout so the driver can assess feasibility on arrival.
Peak demand usually occurs in spring through early fall when homeowners and contractors run the most exterior projects, which can make scheduling more competitive. Winter months tend to be quieter but can introduce weather-related delays, so plan ahead for peak-season projects and allow flexibility in delivery windows during winter.
Compare the delivered material specification (size/gradation and origin), the exact delivered quantity, delivery method and truck type, delivery fees and rush charges, minimum order requirements, and any spreading or placement policies. Also ask about sample availability, change or cancellation windows, and whether the supplier will handle permits or restricted-access logistics.
Our materials work for driveways, parking pads, patio and pathway bases, drainage solutions, garden beds, grading, and erosion control. For each project type we can help estimate quantities, suggest appropriate material characteristics, and coordinate delivery so your site is ready for installation.
Yes, materials reflect local geology and supplier processing, so color, texture, and gradation can vary even for similar product names. These differences affect appearance, drainage, and compaction, so ask for material specs or samples and mention any preference in your order notes to align expectations.
Natural variation is common, so first compare the delivered material to your order notes and photos; if it differs significantly contact our customer service promptly. We will work with you and the supplier to resolve the issue; refer to our order and refund policies for details and have photos and delivery information ready to help speed resolution.
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.
