3/8″ Natural Pea Gravel
Decorative and functional landscaping gravel. Small, naturally rounded stones create an aesthetic appeal when used for pathways, plant beds and garden borders. Also great for water features, rock gardens, dog runs and playground surfacing.
Garden Soil
Premium garden soil enriched with organic matter—essential for vigorous, healthy plant growth. Ideal for filling gardens, building raised beds, and enhancing tired or compacted soil. Fulfillment 20-40% organic is ideal
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.

Why Minonk Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Minonk is a small but active community with a city population of 2,100 and sits within a growing regional market. With a metro area population of 2.6+ million and a steady annual growth rate of 1.20% annually, housing demand and local development are showing reliable, incremental expansion rather than rapid spikes. That steady growth means more remodeling, new landscaping, driveway repairs, and small-scale construction—projects that rely on ready access to bulk materials. Minonk's climate and geography (hardiness zone 8b, 228 sunny days per year, and 35.50 inches of annual rainfall) support year-round outdoor work but also require materials that handle both wet seasons and strong sun. Quality bulk supplies—gravel, sand, topsoil, mulch, and fill dirt—matter here because they affect drainage, erosion control, planting success, and long-term surface performance under local weather patterns. Local soil types, freeze-thaw cycles, and the balance of sun and precipitation create practical constraints for material performance in Minonk. Higher sunny-day totals increase UV exposure for organic materials, while 35.50 inches of annual rainfall makes drainage a frequent concern; both factors influence choices for base materials, soil mixes, and erosion-control aggregates. For homeowners, this means selecting materials with the right drainage, compaction, and stability characteristics for driveways, garden beds, and grading work. Hello Gravel helps by connecting you to locally sourced materials and suppliers familiar with Minonk's conditions, offering guidance on quantities, delivery timing, and material options so projects perform well season after season.Popular Projects in Minonk This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Minonk Gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in Minonk.
Minonk experiences freeze-thaw cycles and seasonal precipitation that can cause settling, frost heave, and temporary soft spots. Choose materials and installation techniques that allow good drainage and compaction to resist movement through winter, and plan for seasonal maintenance. Regional sourcing means material texture and color may vary, so expect natural variation.
Homeowners in Minonk commonly use bulk materials for driveways, walkways, patios, raised garden beds, grading and fill, erosion control, and basic drainage improvements. Both DIYers and contractors order materials for resurfacing existing areas or building new surfaces. Quantities vary by project size, so measure area and desired depth before ordering.
Start by matching material properties to the job: load-bearing projects need stable, well-compacting material, while drainage projects need more permeable aggregates. Consider appearance, budget, and local weather—materials that resist freeze-thaw damage and shed water are usually best in this region. Use Hello Gravel's material quiz or contact our team for guidance based on your project goals.
Spring and fall are typically best because the ground is workable and extreme heat or deep freeze is less likely. Avoid installing on frozen or waterlogged ground, and try to schedule work outside of heavy rain periods to allow proper compaction and curing. Contractors often recommend giving freshly placed material time to settle before heavy use.
Standard delivery is typically 2+ business days, with a next-day option available for orders placed before noon CST for an additional fee. Deliveries are made by contracted dump truck fleets (usually tri-axle) and regional suppliers source materials locally, so texture and color can vary. Hello Gravel requires a minimum order of 3 tons and lets you choose a preferred delivery date at checkout.
Many suppliers will deliver to rural Minonk addresses, but extra fees or distance charges may apply for remote or long-drive locations. Delivery crews also assess access conditions on arrival and may charge or decline if the site is unsafe for heavy trucks. Enter your zip code at checkout to see local availability and any delivery notes or fees.
Clear a flat drop area and remove obstacles like low branches, vehicles, or garden items to give the truck room to maneuver. Check driveway weight limits and ground conditions—soft or steep approaches may prevent trucks from getting close, and protective boards or tarp can limit lawn damage. You can request tailgate spreading at checkout, but drivers decide on-site whether it can be done safely.
Minonk soils and seasonal weather can produce clayey or compacting soils and surface runoff that increase erosion risk if not managed. Use materials and installation methods that promote proper site drainage, such as graded base layers, permeable surfacing, and directing runoff away from structures. For significant erosion or drainage problems consult a local contractor or engineer for tailored solutions.
Calculate the area (length x width) and multiply by the desired depth to get cubic feet, convert to cubic yards, then convert to tons using the material's density. Because densities vary, use Hello Gravel's online calculator or contact our team with your project dimensions for a quick estimate. Remember our minimum order is 3 tons, so round up as needed when planning small projects.
Natural materials from local suppliers can vary in color and texture, so some difference from photos is normal; contact customer service promptly if the material is significantly different or damaged. For order changes, reach out as soon as possible—modifications are easier before the order is processed or dispatched, but not all changes can be guaranteed. See our refund policy for details and we will work to resolve issues fairly.
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!
