Why New Columbia Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
New Columbia is a community of homeowners and builders within a city population of 12,000 and a metro area population of 2.6+ million. A steady growth rate of 1.20% annually points to ongoing residential infill, renovation projects, and measured new construction rather than a boom — that steady demand means homeowners can expect consistent availability needs for landscaping and building supplies. With 228 sunny days a year and annual rainfall of 35.50 inches in hardiness zone 8b, local projects benefit from a long working season but must still plan for regular wet periods. These conditions make reliable bulk supplies — aggregates, soils, sand, mulch, and stone — important for site drainage, erosion control, planting beds, and long-lasting driveways and walkways. Practical choices and accurate quantities matter here because materials must stand up to both bright, dry stretches and periodic rain.Popular Projects in New Columbia This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - New Columbia Gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in New Columbia.
Costs vary by material, quantity, and supplier; pricing is typically a combination of material price per ton or cubic yard plus any delivery fee. Hello Gravel connects you with local suppliers for transparent quotes, so the best way to get a precise number for gravel, sand, dirt, stone and other aggregates is to check your zip code and request a quote.
Choose materials that compact well and shed water to handle West Illinois freeze-thaw cycles and seasonal rain. For long-lasting surfaces, homeowners and contractors often select materials that offer good drainage and interlock under compaction; discuss intended use and traffic levels with our team to pick the right option for gravel, sand, dirt, stone and mixes.
Yes, local suppliers commonly deliver to residential addresses in New Columbia; minimum orders depend on the supplier but Hello Gravel's minimum order is 3 tons. Deliveries are typically made by dump truck, and you can view available delivery days and any fees during checkout.
Plan heavy deliveries and installation work in late spring through early fall when ground is unrutted and frost is absent, since freeze-thaw can affect compaction and finish. Standard delivery lead time is 2+ business days, and next-day delivery may be available for orders placed before noon CST; always consider local weather forecasts when scheduling.
Materials that allow water to pass through while resisting washout are typically preferred for drainage and erosion control. Look for coarser, well-graded options and consider combining material choices with landscaping fabric, proper slope grading, and outlet features to manage runoff for gravel, sand, dirt, stone solutions.
Labor and installation costs depend on material weight, placement difficulty, and required compaction or edging; heavier or finer materials often take more time to spread and finish. Ask contractors for itemized estimates and factor in site prep, hauling distance, and any special equipment when comparing costs for gravel, sand, dirt, stone projects.
Some properties have HOA guidelines or municipal rules that influence surface materials, visible finishes, or delivery times and truck access. Always check local ordinances and HOA covenants before ordering, and consult with Hello Gravel if you need help coordinating delivery windows or documentation for permits.
Both can be useful depending on purpose: coarser materials tend to improve drainage and stability, while finer materials pack more tightly for grading work. Base your choice on project goals—drainage, walkability, or compaction—and let our material calculator and sales team help you match the right option among gravel, sand, dirt, stone combinations.
Many suppliers in the West Illinois area can manage contractor-sized orders and shorter lead times, subject to inventory and truck availability. For large or time-sensitive jobs, contact Hello Gravel early so we can coordinate regional suppliers and hauling partners to meet your schedule.
Key factors include material stability, drainage, traffic levels, freeze-thaw cycles, and vegetation control. Choosing materials suited to your climate and use, proper installation, and routine upkeep like regrading or adding material when needed will reduce ongoing maintenance for gravel, sand, dirt, stone surfaces.
Measure the area (length x width) and decide on the desired depth, then use a calculator or Hello Gravel's material calculator to convert cubic feet to cubic yards or tons. Because densities vary, allow a small overage for compaction and uneven subgrades and check our minimum order of 3 tons when planning.
Ensure trucks have safe access and a clear drop zone free of overhead wires, soft ground, or obstacles; provide precise delivery notes at checkout and discuss access concerns with our team. Drivers may offer tailgate spreading at their discretion, but you should plan for on-site handling and final grading by you or your contractor.
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.

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.

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.
