Materials Available for Delivery
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.
Walkway Gravel
A smaller ⅜” crushed stone that is great for paths, patios, and garden walkways. Comfortable under foot thanks to its smaller size, and creates a beautiful garden-like atmosphere.
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.
1 1/2″ Crushed Gravel
Larger 1 ½” gravel perfect for french drains, drainage ditches, catch basins, and erosion control. Also used in base layers for road projects in areas with poor soil conditions, as backfill material, and for ground cover applications where smaller stones may wash away.
Black Shredded Mulch
Rich black shredded hardwood mulch made from oak, hickory, and maple. Holds in moisture, blocks weeds, and gives your garden beds a bold look that makes green plants and colorful flowers stand out.

Why Nokomis Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Nokomis is a small but active community of 2,810 residents, and its steady 1.20% annually growth means homeowners and small contractors are regularly updating yards, driveways, and property drainage rather than undertaking large-scale redevelopment. That steady growth supports a predictable demand for bulk materials — everything from fill dirt and topsoil to sand, stone, and decorative surfacing — as residents invest in maintenance, outdoor living spaces, and modest additions. With 228/year sunny days and a moderate 35.50 inches of annual rainfall in hardiness zone 8b, local projects need materials that balance drainage and durability: permeable bases for heavier rain events, stable fills that resist erosion during storms, and UV-stable finishes for exposed surfaces. In this environment, using quality, locally sourced aggregates and soils reduces callbacks and helps landscaping and construction perform reliably through seasonal cycles.Popular Projects in Nokomis This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Nokomis Gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in Nokomis.
Nokomis experiences Midwest freeze/thaw cycles and seasonal rain, which can cause settling and heaving if materials and base layers are not matched to conditions. Choose materials and installation depths that allow for drainage and frost movement, and plan major installs for spring through fall when ground is not frozen. Ask our team about regional recommendations for your zip code to reduce winter-related issues.
Soils in West Illinois can range from loam to clay, and poor drainage or low slopes often require a more stable base and better-grading work. For wet or clayey sites, consider a coarser base layer and geotextile fabric to limit mixing and improve drainage. Proper grading to move water away from structures is more important than the specific surface material.
Standard delivery is typically 2+ business days, with next-day delivery available for orders placed before noon CST for an extra fee. Hello Gravel has a minimum order of 3 tons, and lead times may increase during peak landscaping season, so check availability for your zip code early. We confirm scheduled delivery windows once your order is processed.
Choose materials based on use: durable, well-compacted mixes for driveways; stable, level materials for patios; and lighter, decorative options for beds and paths. In all cases use a proper base layer and consider load, drainage, and maintenance needs rather than focusing on one product. If you are unsure, use our material calculator or contact our team for recommendations tailored to your project size.
Regular plowing and use of de-icing salts can shift loose material and break down fines, so pick materials that tolerate mechanical removal and freeze cycles. Coarser, angular materials tend to hold up better under plowing while finer materials may migrate or compact unevenly. Plan for slightly deeper installation in areas that will receive heavy plowing or salting.
Measure the area in square feet and decide on depth in inches to calculate cubic yards: (square feet x depth in inches) / 324 = cubic yards. For example, a 20 ft by 20 ft driveway at 4 inches deep is about 5 cubic yards. Use our online calculator or contact our team with project dimensions for a quick estimate and recommended waste allowance.
Delivery costs vary by distance, supplier, and truck access; many areas offer free or included delivery up to a certain radius, while remote or long-haul deliveries may carry a fee. Next-day service and special handling like tailgate spreading can add charges. Enter your zip code at checkout or call our team to see exact pricing for Nokomis.
Local permitting and HOA rules can influence driveway widths, surface types, and drainage requirements, so check with Nokomis city or Montgomery County offices before you install. Homeowners should verify setback and runoff rules to avoid rework. Our team can remind you to confirm permits but cannot determine local approvals for you.
For erosion control and drainage, choose coarser, angular materials for channels and slopes and combine them with proper grading and vegetation or erosion-control fabric. A layered approach with a stable base and a permeable surface helps reduce runoff and soil loss. Small design changes, like berms or swales, often have bigger impact than switching to a different aggregate.
Deliveries are typically made by tri-axle dump trucks, so confirm there is enough room for a large truck to enter, turn around, and safely dump. Note overhead wires, low branches, soft ground, and narrow drives in your Order Notes, and consider requesting tailgate spreading at checkout, recognizing the driver will assess safety on arrival. Proper access reduces extra handling fees and helps ensure materials are placed where you need them.
Contact our customer service as soon as possible; changes are easiest before the order is dispatched and may be limited once materials are on route. We will do our best to accommodate adjustments but cannot guarantee all requests can be fulfilled. Refer to the order confirmation for next steps and timing to request changes.
Because Hello Gravel sources regionally, color, texture, and consistency can vary based on local geology, so materials may not match photos exactly. If you have concerns, contact customer service promptly with photos and order details so we can work toward a satisfactory resolution. Review our refund and issue-resolution guidance on the site for specific policies.

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.

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.
