Materials Available for Delivery
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.
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.
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.
Topsoil
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
#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.

Why Kirkwood Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Kirkwood is a small but active community with a city population of 820. That modest city population, within a broader metro area population of 2.6+ million, and a growth rate of 1.20% annually points to steady, ongoing demand for residential and infrastructure projects rather than sudden booms. In practical terms this steady growth means homeowners can expect continued local investment in driveways, patios, garden upgrades, and small additions—projects that rely on reliable supplies of gravel, sand, dirt, mulch, and stone. The local climate and geography—hardiness zone 8b, 228 sunny days per year, and annual rainfall of 35.50 inches—support a long work season but also create specific needs for drainage, erosion control, and plant-friendly topsoil. Quality bulk materials matter here because they influence drainage performance, long-term stability, and landscape success in Kirkwood’s particular climate and development pattern.Popular Projects in Kirkwood This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Kirkwood Gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in Kirkwood.
Choose based on use and drainage: materials like gravel, sand, dirt, and stone each offer different stability and drainage. For driveways choose a well-graded, compactable mix for load-bearing; for walkways pick a smoother, finer material for a stable walking surface. Consider local climate and how the material will compact and shed water in Kirkwood.
Prioritize good drainage and frost resistance: materials that shed water and compact well reduce freeze-thaw damage. Use coarser, well-draining aggregates as a base and cap with a stable surface material to limit heaving. If you expect heavy snow or plowing, choose a durable, compactable option and discuss local recommendations with our team.
Spring through fall is easiest for most outdoor installations because of dry ground and milder weather, but deliveries are available year-round. Schedule before busy seasons to secure preferred dates, and allow extra lead time in winter or during local harvest/planting seasons. If timing is critical, use the next-day option when available and request a delivery window at checkout.
Yes, suppliers and contracted haulers commonly deliver to rural Kirkwood addresses, but fees can vary based on distance from the supplier depot, road access, and truck turn-around requirements. Narrow drives, unpaved roads, or weight-restricted lanes may add fees or require alternate drop locations. Enter your zip code at checkout for an accurate price and note access details to help drivers plan.
Measure the area in square feet and decide the desired depth in inches, then convert to cubic yards: (area x depth in feet) / 27. Example: 200 sq ft at 3 inches deep = (200 x 0.25)/27 = 1.85 cubic yards. Different materials have different weights per cubic yard, so use Hello Gravel's material calculator or contact our team to convert cubic yards to tons and to add a waste factor for compaction and grading.
Local rules can affect deliveries: some townships or county roads have weight limits, seasonal load restrictions, or require permits for heavy trucks. Check with Kirkwood township or Fulton County before ordering if your access involves small bridges or restricted roads. Let us know about tight turns or long driveways so we can coordinate with the hauler and avoid delays.
Effective erosion control combines heavier surface material with vegetation and drainage management; materials like coarse aggregates, well-compacted mixes, and engineered stone lend weight and stability. Use terraces, riprap-size rock where appropriate, and geotextile fabric under fill to reduce washout. For work near waterways, follow local regulations and consult a civil or landscape professional for best practices.
Costs vary by material type, order size, and distance to the supplier; Hello Gravel provides transparent quotes based on your zip code and chosen delivery options. Expect the price to include material, hauling, and any access-related charges, with a 3-ton minimum order in many areas. For a specific estimate, use our online quote tool or contact customer service.
Standard delivery is typically 2+ business days, and next-day delivery is available for orders placed before noon CST for an extra fee. Lead times may be longer during peak seasons, bad weather, or when sourcing from farther suppliers in West Illinois. We confirm delivery windows after order placement and will communicate any expected delays.
Both are common: materials are usually regionally sourced to reflect local geology, so many orders are fulfilled by nearby suppliers. For rural or specialty materials, suppliers outside Kirkwood may be used, which can affect lead time and cost. Hello Gravel coordinates sourcing and will show where materials are coming from when you request a quote.
Provide clear access details: best street to approach from, gate codes, overhead clearance, and preferred drop location. If you need tailgate spreading, request it at checkout and note that drivers may do it at their discretion based on safety and equipment. Also flag anything fragile nearby like septic fields, underground utilities, or landscaping you want protected.
Because materials are regionally sourced, texture and color can vary from photos and samples; this is normal for natural aggregates like gravel, sand, dirt, and stone. If you have concerns, contact customer service promptly with photos so we can review and help find a satisfactory solution. We will work to resolve issues according to our policies and local supplier options.
As of today, we require 2 business days for delivery.

The material will be delivered via dump truck. If your order is under 20 tons, then it will likely be just one dump truck load. If your order is more than 20 tons, it will be more than one dump truck load.

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. On delivery day, a dump truck will arrive to dump the materials at your specified location. 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!
