Fulfillment:

Why Lostant Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Lostant is a small but active community of 640 people within a larger metro region of 2.6+ million, and its steady 1.20% annual growth indicates gradual but reliable demand for home and neighborhood projects. That steady expansion—combined with 228 sunny days each year and a moderate 35.50 inches of annual rainfall in hardiness zone 8b—means local homeowners and contractors are often working on outdoor projects for much of the year. For everyday landscaping and construction this translates to recurring needs for bulk materials like gravel, sand, dirt, mulch, and stone to build durable paths, manage water, stabilize slopes, and refresh yard surfaces. Quality aggregates matter here because properly graded, locally sourced materials perform better with the regional soil and weather patterns, reduce maintenance over time, and help projects match neighborhood styles and drainage needs.Popular Projects in Lostant This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Lostant Gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in Lostant.
Prices vary by material type, local supply, and seasonal demand. Convert cubic yards to tons using a typical range of about 1.2 to 1.6 tons per cubic yard (density depends on whether it is gravel, sand, dirt, or stone), then check per-ton pricing on our site or request a quote for Lostant (61334). Use Hello Gravel's material calculator or contact our team for a precise estimate.
A standard tri-axle dump truck in our network usually carries about 10 to 14 cubic yards, which converts roughly to 10 to 20 tons depending on material density. Because weight per cubic yard varies by material and moisture, we price by ton or yard and confirm the truck size at checkout. Contact us if you need a specific truck type or an exact load estimate for your project in Lostant.
For medium to large projects, bulk delivery is almost always cheaper per cubic yard or per ton than buying the same volume in bags because you avoid extra packaging and handling costs. Small jobs may still be more convenient with bags despite higher unit cost. Also consider delivery minimums (3 tons) and any placement or spreading needs when comparing total project cost in Lostant.
Two inches is generally too thin for a durable driveway or heavy traffic area. A typical finished surface for passenger vehicles is 3 to 4 inches of compacted material over a properly prepared base, with 4 to 6 inches recommended for heavier loads; the base under that may need several more inches of compacted stone or fill. Local freeze-thaw in Illinois can increase settlement, so consider deeper profiles for longevity.
Calculate volume by multiplying length x width x depth to get cubic feet, then divide by 27 to get cubic yards. For example, a 100 ft long by 10 ft wide driveway at 4 inches deep is about 12.3 cubic yards (100 x 10 x 0.333 / 27). Convert to tons using a density range of 1.2 to 1.6 tons per cubic yard to estimate total weight, and use our online calculator or request a quote for a precise amount for Lostant.
Standard delivery typically requires 2 or more business days from order, depending on supplier and local availability. Next-day delivery is available for orders placed before noon CST for an additional fee, subject to supplier and truck availability. All deliveries are through contracted local haulers and require a minimum order of 3 tons.
Drivers may be able to perform tailgate spreading at their discretion, and you can request this service at checkout. The driver will assess safety, access, and equipment on arrival and decide whether spreading is possible. There are no guarantees of spreading, so plan for self-spreading if precise placement is required.
Match the material to the job: choose coarse, free-draining material for drainage; firmer, angular material for compacted base layers; and smaller, rounded or decorative stone for top layers and pathways. Consider local climate and soil: wetter or freeze-prone areas need better drainage and thicker base layers. Use our aggregate quiz or contact the sales team for tailored recommendations for your project.
Hello Gravel sources regionally, so color, texture, and gradation reflect local geology and seasonal stock. Natural materials vary from load to load, and weather or moisture content can change appearance and compaction behavior. If appearance is important, request samples, order a small trial load, or add color/texture notes at checkout for our suppliers to consider.
Contact Hello Gravel customer service as soon as possible; changes are easiest before the supplier and hauler start processing the order. We will do our best to accommodate requests but changes depend on order status and truck scheduling. If delivery is already dispatched, modifications may not be possible.
Minimum orders start at 3 tons across our service areas, including Lostant. We accept major credit cards, PayPal, and Apple Pay through a secure online checkout. You can choose your preferred delivery date during checkout and view any delivery fees or next-day options before you pay.
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!
