Why Fithian Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Fithian (population 850) sits within a steadily expanding regional market—anchored by a metro area of 2.6+ million—with a measured annual growth rate of 1.20% that translates into steady demand for residential improvements and small-scale construction. In practical terms, that steady growth means more homeowners are investing in driveways, patios, drainage upgrades, and low-maintenance landscapes that hold value over time. The local climate—228 sunny days per year, 35.50 inches of annual rainfall, and hardiness zone 8b—supports year-round outdoor work while creating particular material needs: reliable drainage layers for wet seasons, stable base materials for load-bearing surfaces, and soil blends or mulches that retain moisture without causing compaction. Quality bulk materials like gravel, sand, topsoil, mulch, and stone matter here because they influence drainage performance, planting success, and the long-term durability of hardscape features in this environment.Popular Projects in Fithian This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Fithian Gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in Fithian.
Homeowners in Fithian typically choose from a range of bulk materials such as gravel, sand, dirt, and stone depending on the project. For driveways they often use materials that provide drainage and a stable surface; for landscaping and garden beds they pick materials for appearance and weed control. Regional sourcing means color and texture can vary, so consider samples or photos when ordering.
Choose materials based on the function you need: load-bearing and drainage for driveways, fine texture for patios, and weed suppression for garden beds. Think about how much maintenance you want, the look you prefer, and local climate effects like freeze–thaw. If unsure, use Hello Gravel's material quiz or contact the sales team for guidance.
Freeze–thaw cycles can shift loose materials and cause settling over time, so pick materials and installation methods that resist movement and allow drainage. Using a well-graded base, proper compaction, and materials that shed water helps lengthen lifespan. Plan for periodic top-ups and maintenance rather than expecting a permanent surface.
Supplier schedules are busiest in spring and early summer, and often again in fall as homeowners do seasonal projects. To avoid delays, schedule deliveries at least a week or two in advance, and earlier for large or time-sensitive jobs. Hello Gravel offers next-day delivery for orders placed before noon CST for an extra fee, otherwise standard delivery is 2+ business days.
Yes, many local suppliers deliver to rural addresses and farms, but access matters: provide clear directions, note narrow roads, steep driveways, low-hanging wires, and any gates or bridges. Trucks are typically tri-axle dump trucks and need room to maneuver and turn around. Add access notes at checkout and contact the team if you're unsure about site accessibility.
Hello Gravel's minimum order is 3 tons, which applies across our service areas, including West Illinois. Delivery fees vary by distance, route, and site access; many areas offer free delivery, but rural or special-access sites may carry extra charges. Enter your zip code on the site or request a quote for exact pricing.
Measure the area (length x width) and decide the depth in inches, then multiply area by depth and divide by 324 to get cubic yards (or multiply area in square feet by depth in feet and divide by 27). As a rule of thumb, one cubic yard covers roughly 100 square feet at a 3-inch depth. Always order a little extra for compaction and grading – contractors often add 5-10% waste.
Local rules vary, so check Vermilion County or your township for permits, culvert requirements, and setback or drainage rules before starting a project. Improperly changing drainage can cause neighbor disputes or code issues, so plan to maintain or improve existing runoff paths. When in doubt, contact local zoning or public works for guidance.
Drivers may be able to perform tailgate spreading at their discretion and if it can be done safely, but this is not guaranteed. You can request spreading in the Order Notes at checkout; the driver will assess conditions on arrival and decide what is possible. For precise spreading or grading work, consider hiring a landscaper or contractor.
Clear the drop area of vehicles, equipment, and obstacles and mark any fragile surfaces, like lawns or septic covers. Make sure there's enough turning room for a tri-axle dump truck and note any utility lines or overhead obstructions. Preparing a firm, level drop zone and communicating access details at checkout reduces risk of delays or extra charges.
Buyers typically weigh initial material cost, how much upkeep is needed, and how the material handles local weather and traffic. Cheaper materials may need more frequent replenishing, while more durable options can cost more upfront but last longer. Consider the project's purpose, expected load, and desired look when comparing options, and reach out for a quote to compare real costs.
If materials differ from expectations or there's a delivery problem, contact Hello Gravel customer service promptly with photos and order details so we can investigate. We will work to resolve the issue and can point you to our refund and resolution process. Keep in mind natural variation from regional sourcing, and add notes to your order if color or texture is important.
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.
