Materials Available for Delivery
Decomposed Granite
Known for its natural look, this compact, durable material drains well and holds up in high-traffic areas. Made from crushed and weathered granite down to a mix of fine gravel and sand—best for patios, paths, driveways, and landscape projects. Can range in color from light brown and tan to reddish and gray, depending on the natural stone color in the region.
Black Shredded Mulch
Rich black shredded hardwood mulch made from oak, hickory, and maple. Holds in moisture, blocks weeds, and gives your garden beds a bold look that makes green plants and colorful flowers stand out.
#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.
Red Shredded Mulch
Red shredded bark and wood from hardwoods like oak, hickory, and maple. Good for gardening and landscaping. Helps hold moisture, block weeds, and adds a bold, red pop to your outdoors.
Fill Dirt
Versatile, lower-grade soil commonly used for volume and elevation changes in various construction and landscaping projects. Great for leveling or grading ground, backfilling pools and filling ditches, and evening out low points or depressions on your property.

Why Lincoln Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Lincoln has a population of 13,290 and is part of a larger regional market with a metro area population of 2.6+ million. A steady annual growth rate of 1.20% means construction and renovation demand is gradual but persistent—enough to support ongoing home improvements, new residential infill, and incremental infrastructure work. Combined with a climate that averages 228 sunny days per year, 35.50 inches of rainfall annually, and a hardiness zone of 8b, local projects need materials that balance drainage, durability, and low maintenance. Homeowners are increasingly prioritizing stormwater management, long-lasting driveways and access roads, and low-maintenance landscape beds, so quality bulk materials (gravel, sand, dirt, mulch, stone, and topsoil blends) play a central role in meeting both functional and aesthetic goals.Popular Projects in Lincoln This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Lincoln Gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in Lincoln.
Start by matching the material to the project function: think about load (cars vs foot traffic), drainage needs, and desired look. In Lincoln’s climate, consider materials that compact well and allow water to drain rather than hold it; base preparation and slope matter as much as the surface material. Use our material calculator and contact our team for help if you are unsure.
Because Lincoln experiences freeze-thaw cycles, pick materials and installation methods that encourage drainage and prevent standing water. Proper base layers, slope away from structures, and permeable aggregates reduce frost heave risk. Talk to local suppliers about regional mixes that perform well in West Illinois soils.
Measure the length, width, and desired depth of the area and use our online calculator to convert cubic feet to tons. Remember to add 5-10% for grading waste or uneven surfaces and that our minimum order is 3 tons. If you need help, our team can review your measurements and recommend an amount.
Price depends on the material type, total volume, delivery distance, site accessibility, and whether you need next-day service or special handling. Additional fees can apply for tight access, long offload times, or scheduling outside normal windows. Get an upfront quote at checkout to see any delivery charges for your zip code.
Standard delivery is typically 2+ business days after ordering, and next-day delivery is available for orders placed before noon CST for an extra fee. You can choose a preferred delivery date during checkout, but exact times are not guaranteed. Check availability for your Lincoln zip code to confirm service options.
Drivers may be able to perform tailgate spreading at their discretion, and you can request this service at checkout. The driver will assess safety and site conditions on arrival, but spreading is not guaranteed. Plan for possible additional labor or tools if precise spreading is required.
Clear a path and staging area large enough for a tri-axle truck, mark out the drop zone with flags or cones, and remove obstacles like low branches or vehicles. Confirm there is room for the truck to enter and exit safely and let us know of any access constraints when ordering. If local permits or neighborhood rules apply, secure them before delivery.
We source materials regionally, so color, texture, and granule size can vary based on local geology. Photos are illustrative; you can note color preferences at checkout or request guidance from our team. If the material seems significantly different, contact customer service and we will work to address your concerns.
Local soils, such as clay or loam, influence drainage and compaction — clay-heavy sites may need additional drainage or coarser aggregates to prevent pooling and frost heave. Match material selection and installation (base depth, geotextile, slope) to your site conditions, and consult our team or a local contractor for soil-specific recommendations. Regional suppliers can suggest mixes that work well in West Illinois.
We supply materials for a wide range of projects including driveways, patios, walkways, drainage improvements, garden beds, site grading, and construction backfill. Our platform connects you with local suppliers for gravel, sand, dirt, stone, and other aggregates in quantities suitable for DIY homeowners and contractors. Use our calculator or contact the team to get a quote and schedule delivery.
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!
