1 1/2″ Crushed Gravel
Larger 1 ½” gravel perfect for french drains, drainage ditches, catch basins, and erosion control. Also used in base layers for road projects in areas with poor soil conditions, as backfill material, and for ground cover applications where smaller stones may wash away.
Road Base
(Class 5 | ABC | Crusher Run) A mixture of crushed limestone or granite, gravel, and sand, ranging from 1 ½” in size down to fines (small particles). Commonly used for constructing roads, driveway bases, parking lots, and other paved and unpaved surfaces. Intended to be compacted, hence the inclusion of fines within the material to provide support and be resistant to erosion and shifting.
Brown Shredded Mulch
Shredded bark and wood from trees like oak, hickory, and maple, used for landscaping and gardening applications. Provides moisture retention in your soil, weed suppression, temperature regulation for plants, and the gradual addition of organic matter as it decomposes slowly over time. Adds a beautiful, finished look to your home’s exterior.
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.
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.

Why Marseilles Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Marseilles is a community of 7,350 residents sitting within a larger metro area of 2.6+ million people. With a steady growth rate of 1.20% annually, demand for modest new construction, renovations, and yard upgrades tends to rise gradually rather than spike—meaning homeowners and small contractors are planning projects over months rather than overnight. Marseilles' climate—hardiness zone 8b with 228 sunny days a year and 35.50 inches of annual rainfall—supports extended building and landscaping seasons, but it also shapes material choices. Good drainage products, well-graded base aggregates, stabilized soils, and durable mulches help projects withstand both sunny stretches and periodic heavy rains. Trends toward outdoor living spaces, low-maintenance yards, and permeable surfaces make reliable bulk supplies (gravel, sand, dirt, mulch, and stone) essential for long-lasting results in this local environment.Popular Projects in Marseilles This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Marseilles Gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in Marseilles.
For driveways and parking areas in Marseilles, choose materials that compact well and shed water, such as crushed aggregates or compactable mixes. Consider local frost and thaw cycles when picking material depth and a base layer; thicker bases help prevent heaving. Ask our team about options that balance cost, durability, and maintenance for your site.
Select materials with good drainage properties and appropriate particle sizes to slow runoff and prevent washouts. Combining permeable surface layers with a stable base and proper grading often works best for yards, swales, and retention areas. We can recommend mixes that suit Marseilles' climate and your project's slope and soil conditions.
For beds and paths, pick materials that match the desired look and function—mulch-like or fine screening for planting beds, and coarser aggregates for paths. Account for freeze-thaw, snow removal, and winter salt use so you choose materials that resist shifting and compaction. Our material calculator can help estimate amounts based on area and depth.
Quantity depends on area and desired depth; a simple rule is area (sq ft) times depth (ft) gives cubic feet, then divide by 27 to get cubic yards and convert to tons using typical regional rates. For most residential jobs in Marseilles, 3 tons is our minimum order, and our online calculator can provide a site-specific estimate. You can also contact our team with dimensions for quick guidance.
Marseilles experiences freeze-thaw and snowy winters that can shift loose materials and slow compaction, so plan major installations in spring through fall when materials set properly. Avoid heavy grading or final surface installations right before freezing weather, and expect delivery schedules to be busier in spring and fall. We can advise on seasonal best practices for your project timeline.
Hello Gravel delivers by dump truck to Marseilles and surrounding zip codes; check availability with your zip code at checkout. Standard delivery typically requires 2+ business days, with a next-day option for orders placed before noon CST for an extra fee. Tell us about any access limits, overhead lines, or tight turns so we can match the right truck and placement plan.
Drivers generally place material on the driveway or a stable surface within reach of the dump truck, but exact placement depends on site access and safety. If you need tailgate spreading, request it at checkout; drivers may perform it at their discretion but this is not guaranteed. Clear the area and note any obstacles in order notes to help ensure safe placement.
HOA rules and local ordinances may restrict surface material types, colors, or drainage arrangements, so check with your HOA or city before ordering. Many projects can use a range of acceptable options like compacted aggregates, decorative screenings, or stabilized mixes to meet rules while delivering good performance. If you have restrictions, share them with our team and we can suggest compliant choices.
Costs depend on material type, quantity, local supplier rates, delivery distance, and seasonal demand; regional sourcing means prices reflect local geology. Hello Gravel shows transparent pricing at checkout and factors in hauling and availability; call or text our sales team for contractor-level quotes or larger jobs. Remember minimum order sizes and possible fees for next-day delivery or difficult access.
Contact our team as soon as possible to request changes; modifications are easier before an order is processed or dispatched. We will do our best to accommodate schedule or material swaps, but changes may be limited by supplier and trucking coordination. For cancellations, see our order policies and reach out promptly to minimize fees.
Provide precise site addresses, access notes, and expected delivery windows to help coordinate trucks across sites efficiently. Bulk pricing, scheduling, and minimums apply, so consolidate orders where possible and use our account or sales team for recurring deliveries. We can support contractor needs with documentation, larger-quantity planning, and site-specific delivery instructions.
Natural materials vary due to regional sourcing, so texture and color may differ from photos; we note this in product descriptions. If you have concerns after delivery, contact customer service promptly and provide photos so we can work toward a satisfactory resolution. Refer to our refund and issue policies for details on 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.
