Why Harvey Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Harvey, with a city population of 18,100 and located inside a metro area of 2.6+ million, is seeing steady demand for home and light commercial projects as the area grows at about 1.20% annually. That measured growth tends to drive steady renovation, yard improvement, and small-scale construction rather than sudden spikes in large development—meaning homeowners and local contractors need reliable access to a range of bulk materials in consistent quantities and on predictable schedules. The local climate—228 sunny days per year, 35.50 inches of annual rainfall, and hardiness zone 8b—supports a long working season but also creates specific needs: materials that manage moisture during wet periods, products that hold up in long sunny stretches, and blends that reduce erosion on slopes. Having access to diverse aggregates, soils, and mulches helps match material properties to common projects around Harvey, from drainage solutions to planting beds and hardscapes.Popular Projects in Harvey This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Harvey Gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in Harvey.
We source materials regionally so supplies for Harvey come from local quarries and yards near West Illinois. That means texture, color, and particle shape can vary by location. Regional sourcing helps keep costs and delivery times down while reflecting local geology.
Start by matching function to material: choose something compactable for driveways, drainage-friendly for pathways, and finer, decorative material for garden beds. Use our material quiz or contact the team for guidance if you are unsure. Keep in mind local climate and site slope when deciding between materials like gravel, sand, dirt, stone.
Calculate volume in cubic yards or tons by measuring the area and desired depth, then use our online calculator for an estimate. As a rule of thumb, 1 cubic yard covers about 100 square feet at a 1-inch depth, but density varies by material. If you have questions, send measurements to our team and we can recommend a quantity and buffer for compaction or settling.
Free mulch occasionally appears through municipal programs, tree services, or community giveaways, but availability varies and may not meet landscaping specs. Hello Gravel offers competitively priced bulk mulch and other materials with transparent pricing and delivery. If you want lower cost, consider mixing a thinner layer of higher-quality material over a cheaper base or check local recycling centers for availability.
Avoid using a material unsuited to the job, such as loose, non-compacting material under a heavy driveway or highly clayey dirt where drainage is needed. Steer clear of unknown mixes from unverified sources and materials with excessive debris or organic matter when a clean, structural base is required. Ask for a description of the material and request photos or specifications if quality is critical.
Typical tri-axle dump trucks used for deliveries carry several tons per load; our minimum order is 3 tons. Exact capacity depends on local truck sizes and material density, so we quote by tonnage and volume during checkout. If you need a specific truck size or multiple loads, contact us when ordering.
Standard delivery requires 2+ business days and is available at no extra fee in many areas, while next-day delivery is offered for orders placed before noon CST for an additional fee. You choose your preferred delivery date during checkout and we confirm timing before dispatch. Keep in mind local traffic, weather, and supplier schedules can affect arrival windows.
Drivers may be able to perform tailgate spreading at their discretion, but this service is not guaranteed and is subject to safety and equipment limits. You can request spreading at checkout and the driver will assess whether it can be done safely on site. For consistent spreading results, consider hiring a landscaper or requesting an on-site spreading quote.
Clear the drop zone of vehicles, low branches, and obstacles, and mark the preferred delivery area with flags or cones so the driver can see where to unload. Confirm access for a tri-axle dump truck and note any low-hanging wires, soft ground, or narrow drives in the order notes. If your street has parking or weight restrictions, let us know ahead of time so we can coordinate with the hauler.
Most residential deliveries do not require permits, but rules vary by municipality and certain streets or commercial zones may have restrictions or weight limits. If you anticipate blocking the street or need a special placement that interferes with traffic, check local ordinances and let us know so we can coordinate with the hauler. We recommend contacting Harvey city offices for specific permit requirements before scheduling large or unusual deliveries.
No, natural variation is normal because materials are regionally sourced and reflect local geology, so color and texture may differ from online images. Photos are a helpful guide, but if a precise look is important, request recent local photos or sample information before ordering. You can add color preferences in Order Notes and our team will pass them to the supplier when possible.
Contact our team as soon as possible with any changes; modifications are easiest before the order is dispatched and we will do our best to accommodate requests. Changes after dispatch depend on the supplier and truck schedule and may not be possible. For cancellations or issue resolution, reach out promptly so we can work toward a satisfactory solution and direct you to the refund policy if needed.
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.

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!
