Why Lombard Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Lombard homeowners operate in a market where local context matters: the area sits alongside a city population of 47,930 and a metro area population of 2.6+ million, and a steady growth rate of 1.20% annually suggests ongoing demand for renovations, infill builds, and outdoor upgrades. That steady growth—not a boom but persistent expansion—means more driveways, patios, garden refreshes, and stormwater projects over time. With 228 sunny days and 35.50 inches of annual rainfall in a hardiness zone of 8b, material choices must balance sun exposure and moderate precipitation. Homeowners need products that provide good drainage, resist UV degradation, and support plantings suited to the local growing zone. Whether you are ordering gravel for a permeable drive, topsoil for raised beds, sand for leveling pavers, or mulch for beds, selecting locally sourced bulk materials helps ensure the texture, color, and performance match Lombard conditions.Popular Projects in Lombard This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Lombard Gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in Lombard.
Suppliers in the Lombard area may sell bulk materials either by the cubic yard or by the ton; the unit used depends on the material and the supplier. A common delivery vehicle for Hello Gravel is a tri-axle dump truck, which typically carries around 10 to 12 cubic yards loose, but actual truck size can vary so confirm with your quote.
Choose based on function (drainage, load-bearing, or decorative), appearance, budget, and local climate; gravel, sand, dirt, and stone each perform differently in wet Illinois weather and winter freeze-thaw cycles. If you are unsure, use our aggregate quiz or contact our team to discuss your project goals and see sample photos of regionally sourced materials.
Measure the area in square feet and decide on the depth in inches, then use the formula: area (sq ft) x depth (in) / 324 = cubic yards needed. For contractor orders that use tons, ask the supplier for the material's weight per cubic yard since that varies by material and moisture content.
In most cases, bulk delivery is more cost-effective per cubic yard than buying the same material in bags, especially for medium and large projects. Savings grow with volume, but compare the delivered price per cubic yard to the bag price converted to cubic yards to get an accurate comparison.
A single cubic yard will often fit in a full-size pickup bed with the tailgate down, but weight limits and bed size differ so check your truck's payload capacity before loading. Many suppliers and yards offer local pickup for smaller orders, but Hello Gravel's minimum delivery order is typically 3 tons; contact local suppliers for 1-yard pickup options.
Standard delivery to Lombard is generally 2 or more business days after ordering, and Hello Gravel offers next-day delivery for orders placed before noon CST for an additional fee. You can select your preferred delivery date during checkout, but exact arrival windows are not guaranteed.
Drivers may be able to perform limited tailgate spreading at their discretion, but spreading is not guaranteed and depends on site conditions and safety. For mulching, common guidance is to apply a few inches of material and avoid piling directly against plant stems or trunks; ask our team for project-specific best practices.
Spring and fall are the busiest and most favorable seasons for landscaping and aggregate work in Lombard because ground and weather conditions are typically cooperative. Book several weeks in advance for spring or fall peak periods to secure preferred dates; for large or complex jobs, start planning earlier.
Yes, suppliers often offer economy or recycled blends that lower cost but can vary in color, texture, and longevity compared with premium, virgin materials. These options can be fine for base layers, fill, or budget landscaping, but request samples or photos and ask about expected performance before ordering.
Extra charges are possible for deliveries that require tight access maneuvers, long stair carries, specific drop spots, or if additional labor is requested. Note any access limitations in your order notes and contact our team for an access assessment so the driver and supplier can plan accordingly.
Many local suppliers offer better rates for larger volumes, repeat business, or contractor accounts, and discounts may be available for multiple nearby drops. Contact Hello Gravel sales for a custom quote if you need bulk pricing, multiple deliveries, or ongoing supplies for a job.
Customers can order online or by phone, with Hello Gravel supporting major credit cards, PayPal, and Apple Pay through a secure checkout. Minimums and lead times vary by area, but Hello Gravel's minimum order is typically 3 tons and standard delivery is 2+ business days; contact customer service to modify or cancel orders as soon as possible.
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.

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.
