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.
Road Base
(Class 5 | ABC | Crusher Run) A mixture of crushed limestone or granite, gravel, and sand, ranging from 1 ½” in size down to fines (small particles). Commonly used for constructing roads, driveway bases, parking lots, and other paved and unpaved surfaces. Intended to be compacted, hence the inclusion of fines within the material to provide support and be resistant to erosion and shifting.
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.
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.
Driveway Gravel
A ¾”-1” clean, crushed stone ideal for rejuvenating worn down gravel driveways, or for installing a fresh new driveway on your property. Aesthetically pleasing and functional!

Why Glenwood Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Glenwood’s city population of 7,360 is part of a region experiencing steady expansion, with a metro area population of 2.6+ million and a growth rate of 1.20% annually. That steady, predictable growth translates into consistent demand for home improvements, infill development, and small commercial projects rather than boom‑and‑bust spikes. Glenwood’s climate — 228 sunny days per year, an annual rainfall of 35.50 inches, and hardiness zone 8b — supports year‑round outdoor work but also creates particular needs: reliable drainage layers, stable bases for driveways and patios, and soil blends that support plantings through warm, sun‑heavy summers and moderate rain. For homeowners this means choosing bulk materials that balance drainage, compaction, and plant health. Quality aggregates, topsoil mixes, sand, and mulch matter locally because they determine how landscapes drain, settle, and age under Glenwood’s specific weather patterns and growth pressures.Popular Projects in Glenwood This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Glenwood Gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in Glenwood.
Choose materials and mixes that shed water and resist breakdown under freeze–thaw cycles. For most driveway and landscaping uses, look for well-draining, angular aggregates and properly compacted bases; regional variations mean local suppliers’ gravel, sand, dirt, stone mixes will reflect Glenwood’s geology. Proper site grading and drainage are as important as material choice to limit frost heave and pooling.
Match material choice to the project's purpose: load-bearing areas need a stable base and coarser mixes, while decorative beds and pathways can use smoother, lighter textures. Consider durability, drainage, and appearance together, and ask suppliers about local mixes of gravel, sand, dirt, stone to find a balance between function and look. If in doubt, use a base layer for structure and a different surface material for finish.
Measure the area in square feet and decide on the depth in inches, then use: cubic yards = (square feet x depth in inches) / 324. Convert cubic yards to tons using your supplier’s density estimate for their regional gravel, sand, dirt, stone (densities vary), or use Hello Gravel’s material calculator for a site-specific estimate. Remember our minimum order is 3 tons and it’s wise to add 5–10% extra for compaction and waste.
Standard delivery requires 2+ business days from order, and next-day delivery is available for orders placed before noon CST for an additional fee. During spring and summer peak season, lead times can be longer due to high demand, so schedule early and check availability for your zip code. Hello Gravel will confirm delivery windows and work with local haulers to find the best date.
If your yard has heavy clay or poor drainage, choose materials and construction methods that improve drainage and reduce settling, such as a well-graded base and geotextile fabric under surface layers. Proper grading, French drains, or raised beds may be needed before placing any gravel, sand, dirt, stone to avoid long-term problems. Consult with a local supplier or contractor to evaluate subsurface conditions before ordering large quantities.
Late spring through early fall is generally best for installation because ground is thawed and weather is more predictable, reducing the risk of delays from frozen ground or heavy snow. Winter deliveries are possible but may be limited and can complicate spreading and compaction. Plan ahead for peak-season scheduling and expect slower turnaround during severe weather months.
Yes, Hello Gravel partners with local suppliers and contracted haulers across the West Illinois area who commonly deliver to Glenwood neighborhoods, subject to service-area availability. Enter your zip code at checkout to confirm delivery options and pricing for gravel, sand, dirt, stone in your location. If a specific drop location has access constraints, note that in your order so we can coordinate with the truck operator.
Local building codes, county ordinances, and HOA covenants can limit materials, curb cuts, drainage changes, and visible finishes, so check with Glenwood village offices, Cook County (if applicable), and your HOA before ordering. Hello Gravel can help with material selection but cannot determine permit requirements; getting permits or approvals is the customer’s responsibility. If you need guidance, reach out to your local building department or HOA for specifics.
Lifespan varies by material, installation quality, and traffic: properly installed surfaces can last several years to decades, but routine upkeep like regrading, topping up, vegetation control, and occasional compaction is common. Materials exposed to freeze–thaw cycles and road salt may need more frequent attention to maintain appearance and performance. Choose materials and construction methods suited to your maintenance tolerance and local climate.
Deliveries are made by contracted dump trucks (typically tri-axle); place the drop location where trucks can safely access and offload. Tailgate spreading may be available at the driver’s discretion—request it at checkout but understand there are no guarantees; drivers will assess safety and site conditions on arrival. Clear access, mark overhead obstacles, and communicate special instructions in Order Notes to help ensure a smooth delivery.
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.
