High-grade soil enriched with organic matter. Perfect for landscaping, lawn establishment and repair, and for improving existing soil.
Fulfillment:
Should never be fulfilled with material that does not include an organic component, though organic components should be small.
2-10% organic is ideal
Crushed Concrete
Recycled concrete aggregate for construction & landscaping. Often used for road base and sub-base applications, as fill material, and for erosion control. Typically 1 ½” down to fines.
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.
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.

Why Hennepin Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Hennepin's population of 1,120 sits within a growing regional market — the wider metro area totals 2.6+ million and is expanding at 1.20% annually — a steady pace that translates into ongoing demand for home improvements, driveways, and small-scale development. That steady growth means homeowners are more frequently updating yards, adding hardscape features, and fixing drainage as neighborhoods evolve. With 228 sunny days per year, 35.50 inches of annual rainfall, and a hardiness zone of 8b, local climate favors extended outdoor work seasons but also requires materials that balance water management and sun exposure. Quality bulk materials — from base aggregates and sand to imported soils and mulch — play a central role in long-term performance: they improve drainage, reduce erosion, and set durable foundations for landscaping and construction projects in Hennepin’s particular climate and growth context. Local soil types and seasonal weather patterns in Hennepin create specific performance needs for aggregates and amendments. Moderate rainfall combined with many sunny days increases the importance of materials that retain stability under wet-to-dry cycles and resist displacement during heavy storms. Homeowners should prioritize materials that provide stable subgrades, consistent compaction, and proper drainage rather than aesthetic-only options. Hello Gravel makes navigating these trade-offs easier by connecting customers to locally sourced suppliers, helping match material specs to site conditions, and scheduling delivery windows that fit project timelines. That guidance helps ensure material choices perform reliably across Hennepin’s climate and support both short-term projects and long-term property durability.Popular Projects in Hennepin This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Hennepin Gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in Hennepin.
Costs vary by material type, order size, and delivery distance from local suppliers. Hello Gravel lists transparent pricing during checkout and many areas include free standard delivery; next-day delivery and long-haul drops may carry extra fees. Keep in mind our minimum order is 3 tons and taxes or local fees can change the final total.
Choose well-draining, angular aggregates and a stable base to reduce frost heave and standing water. Combining proper material selection with good grading, compacted base layers, and drainage features like French drains or swales helps materials perform better through freeze-thaw cycles. Regional sourcing means appearance and exact texture will vary locally.
Durability depends on how the surface is built as much as the material chosen: a compacted base, proper thickness, and good drainage are key. For private driveways, plan for several inches of compactable aggregate over a prepared subgrade; heavier commercial use typically requires deeper base layers. The right choice balances initial cost, load requirements, and local soil conditions.
Local municipalities and county roads sometimes impose seasonal weight limits or require permits for heavy loads, and narrow or unpaved streets can limit truck access. Hello Gravel coordinates with local suppliers and haulers but recommends you tell us about access issues, HOA rules, or on-site obstacles at checkout. We also suggest checking with your township or county if you expect unusually large deliveries.
Typical quantities depend on area and depth; for example, a 12 ft by 50 ft driveway at 4 inches deep is roughly 6 cubic yards, while a 10 ft by 10 ft patio base at 3 inches is about 0.9 cubic yards. As a rule of thumb, one cubic yard covers 81 square feet at 4 inches depth. Use Hello Gravel's material calculator or contact our team for an exact estimate based on your project dimensions and chosen material.
Standard delivery is scheduled for 2+ business days, with next-day delivery available for orders placed before noon CST for an additional fee. Exact timing depends on supplier availability and local hauler schedules. We confirm delivery details after you place the order and will communicate any scheduling constraints.
Same-day delivery is uncommon and depends on local supplier and truck availability; weekend deliveries may be possible in some areas. If you need expedited or weekend service, request it at checkout or contact our sales team and we will check local options and fees. Availability varies by zip code and supplier schedules.
For clay or poorly drained sites choose coarser, more permeable aggregates and prioritize subgrade preparation to improve drainage and reduce settling. Installing a geotextile fabric, increasing base depth, and adding drainage paths will extend performance life. Consult our team for specific combinations that suit your soil and project goals.
Lower-cost materials may save money up front but can require more frequent replenishing, grading, or repair, while more durable or heavier aggregates often have higher initial costs but lower maintenance over time. Maintenance needs depend on traffic, drainage, and installation quality. Factor in installation labor, compaction, and drainage work when comparing true long-term cost.
Get an online quote through Hello Gravel by entering your zip code and project details, or call/text our sales team for guidance and sample requests. Many suppliers can provide photos or small samples upon request, and our material quiz and calculator help narrow choices. We also recommend asking suppliers about regional color and texture variations so you know what to expect.
Drivers may offer tailgate spreading at their discretion, but it is not guaranteed and depends on site conditions and safety. Request tailgate spreading at checkout and note any access constraints in the Order Notes so the driver can assess feasibility. If spreading is critical, plan for professional landscaper labor or confirm spreading availability ahead of time.
Contact Hello Gravel as soon as possible—changes are easiest before the supplier has dispatched materials. We will do our best to accommodate requests, but modifications may be limited once a truck is scheduled. Check our order policies or contact customer service for next steps and timing details.
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.
