Why Lyndon Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Lyndon is a small but active community with a city population of 770 and ties into a larger metro of 2.6+ million residents. Its steady 1.20% annual growth signals consistent demand for residential upgrades, new landscaping, and local infrastructure work rather than a rapid boom—meaning homeowners can expect reliable but ongoing opportunities to invest in driveways, patios, drainage improvements, and garden renovation. With 228 sunny days per year, 35.50 inches of annual rainfall, and a hardiness zone of 8b, local projects must balance sun exposure with periodic wet conditions. That climate mix makes it important to choose materials that resist UV degradation, provide reliable drainage, and compact predictably. Sourcing quality bulk materials—gravel, sand, soil blends, mulch, and stone—helps projects last longer and reduces the chance of rework in Lyndons variable conditions.Popular Projects in Lyndon This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Lyndon Gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in Lyndon.
For most Lyndon projects, a range of bulk materials can work well: gravel, sand, dirt, and stone each suit different needs. Gravel and crushed stone are common for driveways and paths because they drain well and compact; sand is often used for setting pavers or improving drainage; dirt is used for fill and grading; and larger stone can help with erosion control and decorative edging. Choose the group that matches the function you need (drainage, support, fill, or finish) rather than one specific brand or color.
Start by defining the job: load-bearing surfaces (driveways) usually need angular, compactable aggregates; drainage or bedding work benefits from free-draining materials; topsoil or screened dirt is best for planting beds. Consider moisture conditions, slope, and whether the surface needs to be compacted or decorative. If you are unsure, use the material calculator or contact our team with project dimensions and intended use for tailored guidance.
Quantities depend on area and desired depth: a 1-car driveway typically needs 6-8 cubic yards for a 4-inch layer, while a 2-car driveway will need proportionally more. Landscaping beds, patios, and drainage trenches each have their own depth recommendations, so measure length, width, and depth, then use a cubic yard calculator to convert to tons if needed. Hello Gravel's calculator and support team can help estimate amounts based on your project and local material density.
Yes. Lyndon and West Illinois experience freeze-thaw cycles and may have clay-rich soils that hold water, so materials that promote drainage and resist frost heave are often recommended. For areas with poor drainage, choose coarser, free-draining aggregates and consider a geotextile underlayment. Seasonal freeze-thaw means compactability and proper base depth are more important than appearance alone.
Late spring through early fall is typically the best window in Lyndon for most exterior work, when ground is drier and crews can compact and grade effectively. Avoid ordering heavy deliveries during freeze-thaw transitions or when the ground is saturated after heavy rains, since mud can hinder truck access and compaction. If you need materials outside that window, plan for possible access or schedule flexibility.
Prices vary by material, distance, and local supplier, but in small West Illinois towns like Lyndon deliveries often range broadly depending on market conditions. Expect variations based on local sourcing, seasonal demand, and load size; Hello Gravel lists clear prices up front in checkout and shows delivery fees before you confirm. For a tailored estimate, enter your ZIP code (Lyndon ZIP 61261) and project quantity on the site or contact our sales team.
Standard delivery is typically 2+ business days, with next-day delivery available for orders placed before noon CST for an additional fee. Deliveries are made by local contracted dump truck fleets, usually tri-axle trucks, and you pick a preferred delivery date during checkout. Because trucks are contracted locally, exact arrival windows are scheduled after order processing and confirmations.
Hello Gravel's minimum order is 3 tons. Materials are delivered by local dump trucks and typically offloaded in a single dump; trucks are usually tri-axle for residential deliveries. Make sure you have a clear, level area for the truck to access and a place for the material to be dumped; if access or space is limited, note that in Order Notes so the supplier can plan.
Drivers may be able to perform tailgate spreading at their discretion, but this is not guaranteed. You can request spreading at checkout and the driver will assess safety and feasibility upon arrival. If spreading is important to your project, plan for a separate spreading or compaction service to ensure a consistent finish.
Contact Hello Gravel as soon as possible to request changes or cancellations; we make best efforts to accommodate requests before an order is processed or dispatched. Changes after dispatch are more limited because local suppliers and haulers begin scheduling quickly. Check your order confirmation for contact details and timelines for edits.
Local rules vary: you may need permits for new driveways, curb cuts, or work that impacts public right-of-way in Lyndon or Whiteside County. Check with Lyndon village offices or county permitting before starting major installations, and confirm any restrictions on truck access, street parking, or material storage. Hello Gravel can help with delivery logistics, but local permitting is the customer's responsibility.
Use the online material guide and aggregate quiz to narrow options, then contact Hello Gravel's sales team with your project type, dimensions, and site photos for personalized recommendations. We can suggest materials that balance drainage, compaction, appearance, and budget for Lyndon's climate and soils. If you need it, request a quote and delivery availability for ZIP 61261 and nearby towns.

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.
