Why Mount Prospect Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Mount Prospect is a community of 52,950 residents experiencing steady expansion that supports ongoing home improvement and small-scale construction demand. A 1.20% annual growth rate means more remodeling, landscaping upgrades, driveway repairs, and new yard projects over time rather than sudden booms—so homeowners can expect consistent local availability needs for bulk materials. The local climate—about 228 sunny days a year with 35.50 inches of annual rainfall in hardiness zone 8b—encourages year-round outdoor projects but also requires materials that manage both sun exposure and periodic precipitation. That combination makes quality bulk supplies—topsoil and compost for planting, stable fill and compactable base material for driveways and pads, permeable aggregates for drainage, and erosion-control products—particularly important for reliable, long-lasting results in Mount Prospect.Popular Projects in Mount Prospect This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Mount Prospect Gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in Mount Prospect.
In Mount Prospect’s freeze-thaw conditions, choose dense, well-graded aggregates that resist shifting and frost heave. Look for materials with good compaction and drainage properties; regional mixes of gravel, sand, dirt, stone often perform differently, so pick products suited for base layers or surface use depending on load. Consult our material calculator or sales team to match material performance to your specific driveway or hardscape plan.
Standard delivery in the Mount Prospect area is generally 2+ business days, with next-day delivery available for orders placed before noon CST for an additional fee. Hello Gravel has a minimum order of 3 tons, and delivery fees vary by distance, load size, and local supplier; many orders qualify for free delivery. You can check availability and exact pricing by entering your zip code or contacting our team.
Local climate influences freeze-thaw cycling, drainage needs, and seasonal work windows, so choose materials that handle moisture and temperature changes. Materials with good drainage help prevent pooling and frost damage, while heavier, angular aggregates compact better for structural uses. Because we source regionally, expect color and texture differences in gravel, sand, dirt, stone compared with photos.
Spring through early fall is typically the easiest time for delivery and installation due to milder weather and firmer ground conditions. Winter deliveries are possible but can be slower and may require extra planning for site access and thawing, while heavy rains in spring can delay grading and compaction. Schedule materials in advance to secure preferred dates and ask about next-day delivery if timing is tight.
Maintenance varies by material and use: surfaces that handle traffic usually need periodic regrading, top-ups, and debris removal, while plant beds may require replenishing organic mixes seasonally. Expect routine costs for occasional material replacement, edging, and drainage upkeep; heavier-use areas often need more frequent attention. Choosing the right material initially reduces long-term maintenance needs.
Many local suppliers and haulers in the Mount Prospect area can offer same-week delivery or contractor drop-off, especially during the busy season, but availability depends on supplier schedules and weather. Hello Gravel coordinates with local fleets to match your timing needs and will confirm delivery windows after you order. If you need tight timing, request it at checkout and consider next-day delivery when eligible.
For drainage and erosion control, choose well-draining aggregates and mixes designed to move water away from structures and slopes. Layering coarser material under finer material, using appropriate fabric, and ensuring proper slope can help manage runoff; locally sourced gravel, sand, dirt, stone mixes can be combined to suit specific sites. Consult site-specific advice to size materials and select erosion-control options for slopes and swales.
Material pricing in Mount Prospect is largely in line with nearby Chicago suburbs but can vary based on local supply, hauling distance, and seasonal demand. Regional sourcing tends to keep costs competitive, though specialty blends or long-distance hauls may increase price. Use our online quote tool to compare exact costs for your zip code and project size.
Permits and municipal rules can apply to large grading, tree removal, or major soil import/export projects in Mount Prospect, so check the Village of Mount Prospect building and public works requirements before ordering large quantities. Driveway changes, curb cuts, and stormwater work sometimes require permits or inspections. When in doubt, contact the village or your contractor early to confirm regulations and avoid delays.
Before ordering, clarify the project scope, how much material you need, preferred delivery date, and whether the driver can access the drop location safely. Ask about minimum orders (3 tons), delivery method, tailgate spreading options (driver discretion), regional variation in material appearance, and cancellation or change policies. Having answers to these questions helps get the right material on schedule and avoid surprises.
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.
