#57 Crushed Stone
Multi-use crushed stone for home & landscape projects. Ranging from ¾” to 1” in size, #57 stone is a versatile product used for concrete production, drainage applications, driveways, parking lots, and as base material under slabs and footings. Large enough to provide drainage but small enough to lock together when applied and create a stable base and a relatively smooth surface.
Walkway Gravel
A smaller ⅜” crushed stone that is great for paths, patios, and garden walkways. Comfortable under foot thanks to its smaller size, and creates a beautiful garden-like atmosphere.
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.
3/8″ Natural Pea Gravel
Decorative and functional landscaping gravel. Small, naturally rounded stones create an aesthetic appeal when used for pathways, plant beds and garden borders. Also great for water features, rock gardens, dog runs and playground surfacing.

Why Harco Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Harco is a small but steadily growing community with a city population of 250 and connections to a larger regional market of 2.6+ million people. A measured growth rate of 1.20% annually means development is gradual but consistent—expect ongoing home improvements, yard upgrades, and incremental infill construction rather than sudden spikes. With 228 sunny days a year, 35.50 inches of annual rainfall, and a hardiness zone of 8b, local projects benefit from a long working season, but they also need materials that handle both sun exposure and periodic precipitation. Homeowners here look for reliable bulk supplies—stable base aggregates for driveways and pads, soils and topdressings for planting, and mulches and erosion-control products—to keep projects durable under Harco’s specific climate and growing demand.Popular Projects in Harco This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Harco Gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in Harco.
Costs vary by material, distance, and order size, but small Illinois towns often see a broad range for bulk materials. Expect pricing to reflect per-ton or per-load rates and extra fees for long hauls or small orders; many deliveries meet Hello Gravel's 3-ton minimum and standard delivery is included in many areas. Request a local quote for the most accurate rate and check availability by zip code.
Freeze-thaw cycles can cause settling, frost heave, and drainage changes over time, so choosing materials and build-up that shed water and resist movement is important. Use a stable base, sufficient thickness, and good drainage to reduce problems; combining appropriate base material with proper grading helps longevity for driveways and beds. Regular maintenance like regrading low spots and topping with fresh material can reduce long-term issues.
Contractors and suppliers are busiest in spring and summer, which typically increases lead times for materials and deliveries. Expect longer schedules from March through August and somewhat shorter waits in fall; winter can be slower but weather may limit workability. If you need material quickly, consider next-day delivery options (if available) or place orders well ahead of peak season.
Permit requirements vary by city, township, and county, so check with Harco or Franklin County offices before starting curb cuts, major driveway changes, or commercial-scale deliveries. Public right-of-way work, street access, and lane closures often need permits or coordination, while most homeowner deliveries to private property do not. When in doubt, contact local authorities and tell your delivery team about any access constraints when you order.
A 1-car driveway commonly requires about 5 to 10 tons of material for a standard 12' x 20' area depending on depth (4 to 6 inches) and material density. A 2-car driveway (about 20' x 20' to 24' x 24') usually needs about 10 to 25 tons depending on depth and whether you install separate base and surface layers. Use Hello Gravel's material calculator or provide exact dimensions and desired depth to get a precise estimate before ordering.
Hello Gravel works with a network of local suppliers and haulers that serve Harco; specific supplier names and fees vary by zip code and material. Many local suppliers observe a 3-ton minimum and some offer free delivery in nearby areas, while remote deliveries or small loads may incur extra fees. Enter your zip code or request a quote to see local minimums, fees, and available materials.
Contractors typically offer services such as clearing vegetation, grading, forming edges, compacting subgrade, installing base layers, and addressing drainage or erosion control. They may also remove old material and coordinate delivery placement or tailgate spreading at the time of drop-off; keep in mind spreading is at the driver's discretion and not guaranteed. Discuss site prep needs with your contractor and note any access or staging details when ordering materials.
Yes, prices often rise during spring and summer when demand is highest and may be lower in late fall or winter when demand drops, though weather can limit availability and delivery. Material availability can also be affected by regional quarry schedules and local weather events, so planning ahead can secure better pricing and timing. Ask for seasonal quotes and check for any promotions or off-season discounts when scheduling your order.
Coarser, well-graded materials generally provide better drainage and resist freeze-thaw movement, while finer or clay-rich materials hold water and can soften when wet. For stable driveways and beds, a compacted base and materials chosen for drainage performance are key; top layers can be selected for appearance and rideability. Regular maintenance like regrading, topping, and keeping drainage clear will extend performance regardless of material.
Payment is usually due at checkout or on delivery, with common options including major credit cards, PayPal, and Apple Pay; some suppliers may require a deposit for large or special orders. Return and refund policies vary by supplier and material—natural products usually cannot be returned once delivered—so review order terms and contact customer service promptly if you need to change or cancel. For changes, notify Hello Gravel as soon as possible since modifications are easier before dispatch.
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.
