Why North Aurora Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
North Aurora homeowners live in a growing region where city population 187,764 and a Chicago-area metro population 2.9+ million are driving steady demand for residential upgrades and new construction. A growth rate of 1.20% annually indicates steady, predictable expansion—more remodeling, infill projects, and yard upgrades rather than a sudden building boom. Local climate shapes material choices: an annual rainfall of 34.25 inches, 228 sunny days per year, and a hardiness zone of 8b mean projects must handle wet springs, sun exposure, and moderate growing seasons. That combination increases the need for dependable bulk materials—drainage aggregates, stable base mixes, topsoil and compost blends, and erosion-control supplies—so installations last through wet periods and UV exposure. Homeowners and contractors are trending toward lower-maintenance landscapes, better stormwater management, and permeable surfaces, all of which depend on properly specified and locally sourced aggregates and soils.Popular Projects in North Aurora This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - North Aurora Gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in North Aurora.
The best choice depends on traffic load and drainage needs rather than one single product. For heavy vehicle use choose materials that compact well and shed water; for better drainage pick coarser, angular mixes. In North Aurora's climate consider frost heave and choose materials that drain well and resist freeze-thaw movement. Use our calculator or contact our team to match a material blend to your driveway size and budget.
Measure the length and width of the area and decide on the desired depth in inches. Convert to cubic yards using the formula (square feet x depth in inches) / 324, then convert cubic yards to tons using the material density or use our online material calculator. Order a little extra (5-10%) for compaction, grading, and waste. If you prefer, contact our team with your dimensions and we can help estimate quantities.
Price depends on material type, amount ordered, delivery distance, site access, and any extra services requested. Hello Gravel requires a 3-ton minimum and offers standard delivery in 2+ business days, with a next-day option for orders placed before noon CST for an additional fee. Regional sourcing and supplier pricing can also change costs, so check your zip code for exact pricing and any free delivery offers. Get a quote online to see the detailed breakdown for your address.
Late spring through early fall is generally best because the ground is unfrozen and weather is more predictable. Early fall can also be good for projects that need settling before winter, but avoid deliveries during freeze-thaw cycles or heavy snow. For larger jobs, book early to secure supplier and hauler availability. If you need sooner service, next-day delivery options may be available if ordered before noon CST.
Yes. Hello Gravel connects you with local suppliers and contracted haulers that service North Aurora and nearby zip codes, with materials sourced regionally. Availability varies by zip code so check your address at checkout or contact our team to confirm. Regional sourcing means color and texture may vary from online photos.
Materials that drain well and resist water retention perform best through freeze and thaw cycles. Coarser, angular aggregates typically allow quicker drainage and freeze-thaw stability, while fine, wet soils can heave or compact poorly. Proper base preparation and grading to direct water away from structures is equally important. Consider combining materials (base plus surface layer) to improve long-term performance.
Assess slope steepness, existing soil type, drainage patterns, and whether you plan to add vegetation. Stable, coarse materials combined with erosion control fabric or vegetation often work well, while very fine materials can wash away more easily. For steep or high-flow areas consider heavier stone or engineered solutions and consult a local contractor for complex slopes. Plan for seasonal runoff in Illinois and choose materials that promote infiltration where appropriate.
For drainage, choose materials that promote rapid water movement and resist clogging; for walkways, prioritize comfort, stability, and maintenance needs. Many installations use a layered approach: a draining base layer and a finer bedding or walking surface on top. Consider local climate—freeze-thaw cycles—and how often the area will be used when selecting a top layer. If in doubt, try a small test area or ask our team for a recommendation for your specific project.
Costs vary by material type, local availability, and required depth. Generally, simpler, locally abundant bulk materials are less expensive per ton, while decorative or specialty stone costs more and may require greater depth or more preparation. Delivery distance and site conditions can add to total cost regardless of material. Get a few quotes and use a quantity calculator to compare installed costs rather than just price per ton.
Drivers may be able to perform tailgate spreading at their discretion; request this service at checkout and the driver will assess safety and feasibility upon arrival. Spreading is not guaranteed, so plan to provide tools or hire labor if precise placement is critical. Deliveries are made by contracted dump trucks (typically tri-axle) so you need to ensure vehicle access, sufficient turning radius, and clear overhead lines. Mark the preferred drop zone and communicate any site constraints when you place your order.
Clear a safe drop zone by moving vehicles, toys, and obstacles and mark any underground utilities or septic fields. Make sure there is room for a large dump truck to turn and reverse, and note overhead wires or low branches that could block access. Protect landscaping and hard surfaces with plywood or boards if needed, and tell the driver about special instructions at delivery. Contact our team ahead of time if access is tight so we can arrange the right truck or suggest alternative drop options.
Natural materials can vary in color and texture due to regional sourcing, so some variation from photos is normal. Contact customer service as soon as possible to request order changes; modifications are easier before processing and dispatch but not always guaranteed. If there is a quality concern after delivery, reach out promptly and we will work with you and the supplier to resolve the issue. For details on refunds or credits see our refund policy and provide photos when you contact us.
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.
