Why Johnson County Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Johnson County has a city population of 13,364 and is part of a larger metro area of 2.5+ million people. An annual growth rate of 3.30% annually signals faster-than-average expansion, which typically translates into stronger demand for housing, yard upgrades, and local infrastructure — everything from new driveways and patios to drainage and grading work. The local climate (hardiness zone 8b, with 152 sunny days and 33.50 inches of annual rainfall) favors year-round outdoor work but also creates clear priorities for materials: durability for surfaces, effective drainage mixes for wetter periods, and planting-friendly soils and mulches for extended growing seasons. For homeowners, that means choosing reliable bulk materials — base layers, topsoil blends, sand, and stabilizing aggregates — that stand up to both sunny stretches and periodic heavy rain.Popular Projects in Johnson County This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Johnson County Gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in Johnson County.
Choose well-draining and stable aggregates that resist freeze-thaw movement. In Johnson County’s climate, materials that shed water and pack firmly help reduce frost heave; proper base preparation, compaction, and slope for drainage are as important as the material itself. Consider adding a geotextile or base layer for extra stability on low spots.
Costs vary by material, quantity, and distance from the supplier, but customers in the Illinois Region commonly see a wide range depending on type and delivery logistics. Hello Gravel’s minimum order is 3 tons; for an exact price, request a quote online or check the product page for per-ton or per-cubic-yard pricing and delivery fees. Local factors like haul distance and seasonal demand will affect final cost.
Standard delivery is typically 2 or more business days, with a next-day option available for orders placed before noon CST for an additional fee. Lead times can lengthen in spring and early summer when landscaping and construction are busiest, and in winter some materials or sites may be delayed due to weather. We recommend scheduling deliveries well ahead of time for major projects or during peak season.
Many local suppliers deliver to rural addresses, but large dump trucks (often tri-axle) need adequate access and a safe place to offload. Remote, steep, or very tight sites may incur additional fees, require a smaller truck, or need a drop point on a nearby driveable surface; discuss access and any special instructions when you place your order. Drivers will assess site safety on arrival and may refuse to dump if conditions are unsafe.
Permit and HOA rules vary by municipality and subdivision, so check with Johnson County offices and your homeowners association before buying materials. Common concerns include driveway widths, setbacks, curb cuts, and runoff controls that can affect what and where you can place materials. Getting approvals early helps avoid wasted deliveries and extra removal costs.
Measure length, width, and desired depth in feet, multiply to get cubic feet, then divide by 27 to convert to cubic yards (cubic feet / 27 = cubic yards). Order extra for compaction and grading—usually 5-10% more for flat areas and 10-20% for irregular or sloped sites. Because weight per cubic yard varies by material, use our online calculator or ask the sales team if you need a tons estimate.
Schedule grading and base work during the dryer months (late spring through early fall) when the ground is stable and compaction works best; avoid major installations during freeze-thaw periods or muddy conditions. Install materials in thin layers and compact between lifts for lasting results, and plan deliveries to align with when crews are available to spread and compact. If you need help timing for seasonal conditions, our team can advise based on local experience.
Performance depends on shape, size distribution, and placement rather than material name alone: coarser, open-graded materials drain quickly and reduce erosion, while well-graded mixes compact better for durable driving surfaces. Properly designed layers, slopes, and edge restraints control runoff and limit washouts in Johnson County’s terrain. Combining the right material choice with good site prep, compaction, and drainage features gives the best long-term performance.
Contact Hello Gravel as soon as possible—changes are easiest before the order is processed or dispatched and we will do our best to accommodate requests. If there is an issue at delivery, report it promptly so we can work with the supplier and hauler to resolve it; refer to our customer service and refund policies for details. Keeping clear delivery instructions and photos of the site can speed resolution.
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.

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!
