Materials Available for Delivery
Topsoil
High-grade soil enriched with organic matter. Perfect for landscaping, lawn establishment and repair, and for improving existing soil.
Fulfillment:
Should never be fulfilled with material that does not include an organic component, though organic components should be small.
2-10% organic is ideal
Fill Dirt
Versatile, lower-grade soil commonly used for volume and elevation changes in various construction and landscaping projects. Great for leveling or grading ground, backfilling pools and filling ditches, and evening out low points or depressions on your property.
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.
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.
#57 Crushed Stone
Multi-use crushed stone for home & landscape projects. Ranging from ¾” to 1” in size, #57 stone is a versatile product used for concrete production, drainage applications, driveways, parking lots, and as base material under slabs and footings. Large enough to provide drainage but small enough to lock together when applied and create a stable base and a relatively smooth surface.

Why New Haven Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
New Haven has a population of 330 but sits within a larger regional market with a metro area population of 2.6+ million. That steady population growth of 1.20% annually points to ongoing residential and infrastructure activity—enough to keep local contractors and homeowners regularly sourcing bulk materials. The area's climate—228 sunny days per year and 35.50 inches of annual rainfall in hardiness zone 8b—means projects can move forward much of the year, but materials must balance moisture management and durability. For homeowners that translates to prioritizing aggregates and soils that promote drainage and stable compaction, plus organic products for planting beds that retain moisture without waterlogging. In a market with steady demand, local sourcing and predictable delivery make it easier to schedule multi-stage jobs like driveways, patios, grading, and landscape installations. Local weather and soil conditions influence how materials perform over time. Moderate rainfall and frequent sun create a need for materials that resist erosion, shed excess water, and withstand heat and UV exposure; at the same time, mild winters in hardiness zone 8b reduce extreme freeze-thaw stress but do not eliminate the need for frost-resistant base materials in shaded or low-lying spots. For homeowners, this means choosing mixes that suit drainage, compaction, and plant needs rather than defaulting to one product for every use. Hello Gravel helps by connecting you to local suppliers who understand these conditions, offering guidance on quantities and blends and arranging delivery windows that fit your project timeline.Popular Projects in New Haven This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - New Haven Gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in New Haven.
Homeowners in New Haven often choose from a range of aggregates, including gravel, sand, dirt, stone, and mixes tailored for driveways, paths, drainage, and garden beds. Local supplies reflect West Illinois geology, so color and texture can vary. Pick materials by intended use—durability for driveways, fine material for topdressing, and coarser mixes for drainage.
Start by defining the purpose: bearing load, drainage, appearance, or planting bed. Consider site conditions like slope and wetness and choose a material that matches those needs; use our material calculator or contact our team for guidance. Keep minimum order sizes and local sourcing in mind when deciding.
Measure the area in square feet and the depth you want in inches, then use a volume conversion to tons or cubic yards; our online calculator does this automatically. For small residential jobs, remember Hello Gravel has a 3 ton minimum and local suppliers can help confirm quantities. When in doubt, order a little extra for compaction and grading.
Prices vary by material type, truckload size, and distance from supplier; many homeowners see per-ton ranges that reflect common market variation. Delivery fees depend on distance, access, and service options (standard vs next-day); Hello Gravel displays transparent pricing for your zip code during checkout. For precise costs, enter your address on the site or contact our team for a quote.
New Haven experiences seasonal freeze-thaw and spring rains that can affect compaction and installation. Late spring through early fall is usually best for hauling and laying most materials to avoid frozen ground and muddy conditions. For drainage projects, plan around rainy seasons to ensure proper settling and performance.
Local rules can vary; many small work types don’t need a permit, but driveway apron work, new drainage structures, or curb cuts may require county or township approval. HOAs may have design or material restrictions, so check with your HOA and the local building or public works office before ordering. If you’re unsure, our team can suggest who to contact locally.
Soil type, drainage, slope, and freeze-thaw cycles are the main factors that influence how well a material performs over time. Clay soils and poor drainage may need base preparation, geotextile fabric, or thicker layers to prevent rutting and washout. A short site assessment by a contractor or Hello Gravel’s guidance can help pick the right solution.
Expect standard deliveries by tri-axle dump truck; ensure your access route and staging area can handle a heavy truck and turning radius. Rural roads, low bridges, posted weight limits, narrow lanes, and overhead wires can affect delivery location and timing, so note access issues in Order Notes or speak to customer service. Our drivers will confirm details before unloading and may deliver to the street if driveway access is unsafe.
Drivers may be able to perform tailgate spreading at their discretion and should be requested at checkout, but this service is not guaranteed. Drivers will assess safety and feasibility on arrival and may decline if conditions or access make spreading unsafe. For guaranteed spreading, hire a local contractor or arrange additional services separately.
Common projects include resurfacing or rebuilding driveways, creating pathways or patios, fixing drainage swales and French drains, building raised garden beds, and erosion control. Each project benefits from different material choices and depths, so plan quantities and timing accordingly. Contractors often order larger loads, while DIY homeowners commonly meet the 3 ton minimum for smaller jobs.
Clear trees, vehicles, and obstacles from the intended drop area and mark any underground utilities or irrigation lines. Provide clear access instructions in Order Notes and ensure there is a safe place for the truck to park and dump. If you expect narrow access or special restrictions, call our team in advance so drivers and suppliers can plan.
Homeowners often search phrases like "bulk gravel delivery New Haven IL", "sand and stone delivery near me", "3 ton minimum aggregate delivery", "next-day bulk materials", and "calculate gravel needed". They also look for transparent delivery pricing, scheduled dates, and local supplier reviews when comparing options. Using specific project terms (driveway, patio, French drain) helps narrow material recommendations and quotes.
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.
