1 1/2″ Crushed Gravel
Larger 1 ½” gravel perfect for french drains, drainage ditches, catch basins, and erosion control. Also used in base layers for road projects in areas with poor soil conditions, as backfill material, and for ground cover applications where smaller stones may wash away.
Decomposed Granite
Known for its natural look, this compact, durable material drains well and holds up in high-traffic areas. Made from crushed and weathered granite down to a mix of fine gravel and sand—best for patios, paths, driveways, and landscape projects. Can range in color from light brown and tan to reddish and gray, depending on the natural stone color in the region.
Red Shredded Mulch
Red shredded bark and wood from hardwoods like oak, hickory, and maple. Good for gardening and landscaping. Helps hold moisture, block weeds, and adds a bold, red pop to your outdoors.
3/4″ Crushed Stone
A reliable, clean ¾” crushed granite or limestone with many applications. Great for gravel driveways, concrete mixes, landscaping applications, and backfilling retaining walls or around foundations.
Drain Rock
A larger 1 ½” crushed gravel that allows for water flow and drainage, preventing accumulation and pooling when properly installed. Perfect for french drains and other drainage applications, around utility lines, septic systems, sump pump basins and drainage pits.

Why Glencoe Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Glencoe is a community of 8,460 residents within a broader metro region of 2.6+ million people experiencing steady expansion. A 1.20% annual growth rate means ongoing demand for home improvements, additions, and new landscaping as homeowners update driveways, outdoor living areas, and yard drainage. Glencoe's climate — hardiness zone 8b with about 228 sunny days annually and roughly 35.50 inches of rain each year — supports year-round projects but also shapes the types of materials that perform best here. Moderately wet seasons combined with lots of sun favor aggregates and soils that balance drainage and water retention, stable bases for pavers and driveways, and organic materials that sustain plantings in prolonged sunshine. Homeowners are increasingly focused on durable, locally sourced bulk materials (gravel, sand, dirt, mulch, and stone) that reduce maintenance while fitting the local geography and construction trends.Popular Projects in Glencoe This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Glencoe Gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in Glencoe.
Start with the project's needs: load-bearing surfaces require more stable aggregates, while decorative beds prioritize appearance and weed control. Consider drainage, intended foot or vehicle traffic, and the look you want for your yard. Our online quiz and sales team can help match local materials to Glencoe's climate and your budget.
Pricing depends on the material type, quantity, and local supplier rates, and is displayed up front on our site once you enter your zip code. Hello Gravel has transparent pricing that includes delivery options; keep in mind a minimum order of 3 tons. For a precise cost per ton or per cubic yard, use the material page or contact our team for a quote.
Plan deliveries for spring through early fall when ground is stable and access is easiest; avoid scheduling during heavy snow or freeze-thaw periods when possible. We require 2 business days for standard delivery and offer next-day delivery for orders placed before noon CST for an extra fee. Schedule early in winter or rainy seasons since lead times and site conditions can affect offloading.
Many Glencoe properties have tight access, and delivery feasibility depends on truck size and site conditions. Provide photos and detailed notes at checkout so suppliers can assess access; drivers may perform tailgate spreading at their discretion. If special equipment or manual handling is required, additional fees or alternate drop locations may apply.
Compare based on performance, not just looks: consider drainage needs, compaction and stability, maintenance, and budget. For example, some materials are better for long-term load-bearing while others are chosen mainly for appearance or weed suppression. Use our calculator and chat with our team to pick a material profile that fits your driveway, patio, or planting bed needs.
Freeze-thaw cycles in the area can cause shifting or settling if materials do not drain or compact well. Choose materials that promote drainage and stability for areas subject to frost, and plan for seasonal maintenance like regrading or topping up. Our local suppliers can recommend mixes that reflect West Illinois geology and performance in winter conditions.
Hello Gravel connects you to local suppliers and hauling fleets; most transactions are delivery-only, but some suppliers or local contractors offer installation services. If you need installation, request that option in Order Notes or contact our team for referrals to installers in the Glencoe area. Remember that installation availability and pricing vary by supplier and project scope.
Measure the area in square feet and decide on the desired depth in inches, then convert to cubic yards using: cubic yards = (area in sq ft * depth in inches) / 324. Convert cubic yards to tons using the material-specific weight (weights vary), or use our online material calculator for a quick estimate. Always add 5-10% extra for compaction and grading, and note our 3-ton minimum order.
Contractors should account for the standard 2+ business day lead time and order early for large or recurring jobs. For large-volume projects, contacting our team helps lock in supply, schedule specific delivery windows, and arrange repeat deliveries. We can provide volume pricing and coordinate with preferred local haulers to meet your timeline.
Delivery availability depends on your zip code and local supplier networks; enter 60022 or your specific zip during checkout to confirm service. Some neighborhoods, HOAs, or municipal rules may restrict heavy truck access or require permits, so check local regulations before delivery. If a permit or alternate drop location is needed, note that in your order and contact our team for guidance.
Natural materials vary by region, so texture and color may differ from photos; we note regional sourcing and geological variation on product pages. Contact our customer service as soon as possible to request changes—modifications are easiest before dispatch but not always possible after trucks are scheduled. If there is an issue on delivery, reach out and we'll work with you and the supplier to resolve it according to our policies.
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.
Hassle Free! Our goal is to make the buying process for gravel and other aggregates as easy and seamless as possible. Enter your zip code on our site, select how much material you need (see below FAQ’s to determine order size), select the date and time frame you would like your material delivered at Checkout, and place your order with any major credit card. After the order is placed our in-house support team will contact you to confirm the details. We will send additional confirmations on the day before and the day of delivery. On delivery day, a dump truck will arrive to dump the materials at your specified location. We request that you have someone available to accept the delivery so that we can make sure to dump it in the correct location. That’s it!
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!
