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.
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.
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.
Brown Shredded Mulch
Shredded bark and wood from trees like oak, hickory, and maple, used for landscaping and gardening applications. Provides moisture retention in your soil, weed suppression, temperature regulation for plants, and the gradual addition of organic matter as it decomposes slowly over time. Adds a beautiful, finished look to your home’s exterior.

Why Homer Glen Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Homer Glen, with a population of 22,890, is seeing steady growth at 1.20% annually — a pace that typically means consistent, ongoing demand for home improvement and new construction rather than sudden booms. That steady expansion drives projects like driveway repairs, yard regrading, patio and path installs, and landscape refreshes. With about 228 sunny days per year and 35.50 inches of annual rainfall in a hardiness zone 8b setting, homeowners benefit from long outdoor work windows but also need materials that handle both dry and wet conditions. In this context, quality bulk materials — from sands and gravels to topsoil, mulch, and bedding stone — matter because they determine drainage, stability, and plant health over time. Choosing regionally sourced aggregates helps ensure color, texture, and performance match local expectations and weather patterns.Popular Projects in Homer Glen This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Homer Glen Gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in Homer Glen.
Costs vary by material, quantity, and supplier, but residential bulk materials in Homer Glen commonly fall in the range of $25 to $80 per cubic yard, with delivery fees often from $50 to $200 depending on distance and truck size. Minimum orders start at 3 tons. For an accurate price, get a quote for your zip code (60491) and material type since regional sourcing and seasonal demand affect pricing.
Hello Gravel connects you with local suppliers and contracted haulers who service Homer Glen and surrounding zip codes. Deliveries are made by professional dump truck fleets (typically tri-axle) from local companies; availability depends on your exact address, so check service for zip 60491 at checkout to see which suppliers can deliver.
Standard delivery typically requires 2 or more business days from order placement, while next-day delivery is usually available for orders placed before noon CST for an additional fee. You can select a preferred delivery date at checkout; final timing depends on supplier schedules and weather, so we recommend ordering early for time-sensitive projects.
In Homer Glen’s climate, choose materials and designs that promote drainage and resist shifting from freeze-thaw cycles, such as well-draining aggregate bases and compactable fill. Avoid materials that hold water without proper drainage; consult with suppliers about local mixes and regional characteristics because gravel, sand, dirt, and stone can vary in performance by source.
Permit and HOA rules vary. Check with the Village of Homer Glen, Will County, and any applicable HOA before scheduling large on-street drops or blocking the right-of-way. If you expect a street drop or need to park a truck on a public road, ask your municipality about permits and include permit requirements in your order notes.
For tight-access sites, suppliers may offer smaller trucks, offload with a skid steer, or curbside/yard drops when safe and feasible; request these needs at checkout. Drivers may be able to perform tailgate spreading at their discretion, but spreading is not guaranteed and may incur extra fees; provide detailed access instructions to improve success.
Homeowners and contractors typically use a layered approach: a durable compactable base, a drainage-friendly layer, and a finished surface suited to the project. Choose materials based on load, appearance, and drainage needs—gravel, sand, dirt, and stone from local suppliers offer different strengths, so consult local contractors or our team to match the right mix to your project.
Use this simple formula: cubic yards = (area in square feet * depth in feet) / 27. We recommend using Hello Gravel’s online material calculator, rounding up for compaction and waste (typically 5–15%), and confirming estimates with our team if you have irregular shapes or steep slopes.
Most homeowners schedule deliveries and installations between spring and early fall when ground conditions are favorable; late spring and summer are busiest for contractors. Winter deliveries are possible but can be more complicated due to freezing ground and weather delays, so plan ahead and consider local seasonal demand when setting dates.
Expect a professional dump truck to arrive and place material where access allows; drivers will assess safety and may refuse locations that risk damage. Protect landscaping and structures beforehand, review the delivery with the driver, and report issues to Hello Gravel promptly. Tailgate spreading can sometimes be requested but is at the driver’s discretion and not guaranteed.
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.
