Red Shredded Mulch
Red shredded bark and wood from hardwoods like oak, hickory, and maple. Good for gardening and landscaping. Helps hold moisture, block weeds, and adds a bold, red pop to your outdoors.
Mason Sand
A fine, clean sand for construction and masonry. Use it under pavers or turf, mix it into mortar or soil, or spread it across your lawn to smooth out bumps and low spots in your lawn.
Road Base

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.
Crushed Concrete
Recycled concrete aggregate for construction & landscaping. Often used for road base and sub-base applications, as fill material, and for erosion control. Typically 1 ½” down to fines.
Drain Rock
A larger 1 ½” crushed gravel that allows for water flow and drainage, preventing accumulation and pooling when properly installed. Perfect for french drains and other drainage applications, around utility lines, septic systems, sump pump basins and drainage pits.

Why New Lenox Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
New Lenox has a city population of 36,690 and sits within a broader metro region of 2.6+ million residents — a context that supports steady building and remodeling activity. At a growth rate of 1.20% annually, demand for new homes, additions, and yard upgrades is consistent rather than explosive, which means homeowners are often planning thoughtful, long-lasting projects rather than one-off fixes. With 228 sunny days per year and average annual rainfall of 35.50 inches, local projects need materials that balance good drainage with moisture retention. The area’s hardiness zone of 8b also shapes planting and soil needs. For New Lenox homeowners, that translates into a preference for reliable bulk supplies — from base materials for patios and driveways to topsoil and mulch for planting — all chosen to withstand seasonal moisture, freeze-thaw cycles, and steady use. Local climate and soil conditions in New Lenox create practical performance requirements for aggregates and bulk materials. Regular rainfall combined with sunny periods increases the importance of erosion control, stable bases, and well-graded soils that resist settling and compaction. That means selecting materials for permeability, particle size, and organic content matters: proper bases reduce frost heave, balanced soils support plant health, and correctly graded fills reduce long-term maintenance. Hello Gravel helps homeowners navigate these trade-offs by connecting them with locally sourced suppliers, offering material calculators and guidance, and coordinating delivery and scheduling so choices align with New Lenox’s weather patterns and project timelines.Popular Projects in New Lenox This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - New Lenox Gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in New Lenox.
Choose materials based on function: for load-bearing surfaces pick well-graded aggregates that compact (common options include gravel and crushed stone), while for planting beds and play areas lighter materials like sand or screened dirt are better. In New Lenox’s climate, with cold winters and freeze-thaw cycles, use materials and construction methods that promote drainage and reduce frost heave. Regional sourcing means texture and color can vary, so request samples or photos and discuss intended use with our team before ordering.
Start by defining the goal—drainage, erosion control, or topsoil for planting—and pick materials that match that goal; coarse, free-draining mixes work for drainage and erosion control, while screened dirt or topsoil is best for planting. Consider layering: a stable base of coarser aggregate under finer materials improves long-term performance. Ask about local soil conditions in New Lenox since native soils and rainfall patterns affect how materials will behave on site.
Many yards in the West Illinois area experience clayey or compacted soils that hold water and limit drainage; this can cause surface pooling and poor plant performance. For driveways and flatwork, plan for proper grading, sub-base compaction, and permeability to manage runoff and reduce freeze-thaw damage. Test or inspect the site before ordering large amounts; you may need extra base material or a drainage layer to get the results you want.
Use simple volume math: measure length, width, and desired depth in feet to calculate cubic yards (length × width × depth ÷ 27). As a rule of thumb, 3 tons is our minimum order; for many small projects a single cubic yard may suffice but heavier aggregates will weigh more per cubic yard. When in doubt, use our online calculator or contact our team with project dimensions to get a recommendation and a safety margin for compaction and waste.
Standard delivery is 2+ business days and there is an optional next-day delivery for orders placed before noon CST for an extra fee. Deliveries are made by local dump-truck fleets (typically tri-axle trucks) and you can choose a preferred delivery date during checkout. Drivers may offer tailgate spreading at their discretion; request it in the order notes but expect the driver to assess safety and feasibility on arrival.
Prices vary by material type, quantity, and season, and regional sourcing affects cost; decorative or specialty stones tend to be more expensive than basic sand or fill dirt. Rather than quoting fixed numbers, we recommend checking our online pricing for your zip code or requesting a quote—this will reflect local supply, delivery distance, and current market conditions. Ask about volume discounts if you need large quantities for contractor-scale work.
Yes. Spring can be wet and muddy which may delay excavations or spreading, while winter brings freeze-thaw cycles that make some deliveries and spreading difficult. Late spring through early fall is typically best for most landscaping, paving prep, and top-dressing work, but we can still deliver year-round depending on site access. If you have a tight timeline, consider next-day delivery and plan for weather windows when scheduling.
Contact our team as soon as possible if you need to modify an order; changes are easier before the order is processed and dispatched. We will make every reasonable effort to accommodate requests, but modifications may be limited once a truck is scheduled and are subject to supplier and hauler constraints. Review order notes and confirm delivery details to reduce the chance of last-minute changes.
Natural materials like gravel, sand, dirt, and stone vary by region, so color and texture may differ from photos; if the material seems inconsistent with what you ordered, contact customer service promptly. We will work with the local supplier and hauler to investigate and help resolve the issue; keep photos and details handy to speed the process. For returns or refunds, follow our published policy and reach out early so we can assist.
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.
