Why Manhattan Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Manhattan has a city population of 12,920 and sits within a broader regional market that serves a metro area population of 2.6+ million. A steady growth rate of 1.20% annually points to consistent, manageable development rather than a sudden construction boom; that steady expansion creates ongoing demand for materials used in landscaping, driveways, patios, and modest residential additions. Sitting in hardiness zone 8b with 228 sunny days annually and 35.50 inches of rainfall each year, local projects need materials that balance drainage, stability, and weather resilience. Homeowners and contractors in this climate often prioritize well-draining soils, stable base aggregates, and durable surface materials that stand up to sun exposure and seasonal wet periods, helping projects stay on schedule and perform long term. Local soil conditions, periodic wet spells, and freeze-thaw considerations influence compaction, settling, and runoff, so material choices should be guided by long-term performance rather than short-term looks. Moderate rainfall combined with many sunny days means you’ll want mixes that shed excess water, resist erosion, and support vegetation where needed. Hello Gravel helps Manhattan homeowners navigate these trade-offs by connecting them with local suppliers, providing quantity calculators and clear scheduling options, and offering guidance so the right bulk materials arrive when crews and weather align.Popular Projects in Manhattan This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Manhattan Gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in Manhattan.
Homeowners in Manhattan often choose materials based on function and appearance rather than a single product. For driveways and walkways, people pick options that balance durability, drainage, and look; factors like traffic, slope, and desired maintenance level drive the choice. Because Hello Gravel sources regionally, materials such as gravel, sand, dirt, stone can vary in texture and color, so order a sample or ask the sales team if color and grain matter to you.
Choose materials and installation methods that promote quick drainage and resist settling. Good surface drainage, a compacted base, and materials that allow water to pass through help reduce freeze–thaw damage and spring runoff issues. If you are unsure which option suits your slope and soil, our team can help you pick a material that performs well in West Illinois conditions.
The best time for deliveries and most outdoor work in Manhattan is late spring through early fall when ground conditions are dryer and trucks have better access. Avoid scheduling major deliveries during freeze or thaw periods and during heavy rains that make sites soft or muddy. You can still order year-round, but plan for possible delays or access limitations in winter or during early spring runoff.
Hello Gravel requires a minimum order of 3 tons and standard delivery usually takes 2 or more business days. Next-day delivery may be available for orders placed before noon CST for an additional fee, and exact costs depend on material, amount, and distance to your site. Delivery is completed with contracted dump trucks, and some areas may have extra charges for long hauls or difficult access.
Yes, local suppliers generally deliver to residential areas in Manhattan, but deliveries depend on street access, driveway size, and local regulations. Narrow streets, low-hanging wires, or HOA rules may restrict truck access or unloading location, and drivers will assess whether tailgate spreading is possible. Check your zip code on our site and note any access issues or HOA requirements when ordering to help the supplier plan the delivery.
Measure the length, width, and desired depth of the area to get a cubic volume, then convert cubic yards to tons based on the material density or use Hello Gravel’s online calculator for guidance. Contractors often order by the ton for delivery and will add about 5–10% extra for compaction and waste. If you need help, our team can estimate quantities for common project types in Manhattan.
Before ordering, check HOA rules and local municipal requirements for street closures or curbside deliveries, and verify if a permit is needed for truck access or temporary placement. Prepare the site by marking utilities, clearing obstacles, and creating a stable drop zone for the truck to avoid damage. Contact our customer service as soon as possible if you need to change order details or add delivery notes.
Pick a material based on the job: improved drainage and low settling for drainage areas, a firm compactable option for driveways, and a softer, decorative option for planting beds or paths. Consider particle size, compaction needs, maintenance expectations, and the local climate in West Illinois when deciding. Use our aggregate quiz and material calculator to compare options, or call our team for project-specific recommendations.
Deliveries are made by contracted dump trucks; the driver will place material where access allows and may perform tailgate spreading at their discretion. Clear the drop area of cars, toys, and fragile landscaping, and mark the preferred placement with stakes or flags. Add special instructions at checkout and allow for a short window on delivery day for coordination and safety checks.
Natural materials sourced locally can vary in color and texture, so slight differences are normal; add color preferences in Order Notes but avoid expecting an exact match to photographs. Contact our team promptly if you need to modify or cancel an order—changes are easier before trucks are dispatched—and we will work to resolve any issues per our policies. For quality concerns, reach out to customer service and we will guide you through next steps.
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.
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.

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!
