Why North Riverside Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
North Riverside is a community of 15,550 residents experiencing steady growth at about 1.20% annually, a pace that usually means consistent demand for home improvements, landscaping upgrades, and targeted infill development rather than a sudden building boom. With 228 sunny days each year, 35.50 inches of annual rainfall, and a hardiness zone of 8b, the local climate supports extended outdoor work windows but also requires materials that handle both wet spells and prolonged sun exposure. Homeowners here increasingly look for reliable bulk supplies—well-graded aggregates for drainage, quality topsoil and compost for planting beds, and stable surfacing materials for driveways and walkways. Because materials are regionally sourced and reflect local geology, choosing the right mix and quantity is important for durability and long-term performance.Popular Projects in North Riverside This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - North Riverside Gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in North Riverside.
Choose materials based on use, drainage, and look. For high-traffic driveways pick a material that compacts well and resists shifting; for garden beds and grading pick materials that improve drainage and support plantings. Because we source regionally, texture and color may vary, so plan based on performance first and appearance second.
North Riverside sees freeze-thaw cycles, snow and road salt in winter, and wet springs, all of which affect material stability and drainage. Select materials that drain well and resist breakup from freezing and salt exposure, and allow for frost-susceptible soils by providing proper base preparation. Expect regional variation in material composition, which can change how a product handles moisture and freeze-thaw.
Measure the area (length, width, depth) and use our material calculator to convert cubic yards to tons; conversion depends on material density. As a general guideline, 1 cubic yard equals roughly 1.2 to 1.6 tons depending on the material. Order a small extra amount (5-10%) to allow for compaction, grading, and measurement variance.
Standard delivery is typically 2 or more business days, with next-day delivery available for orders placed before noon CST for an additional fee. Deliveries are made by local dump truck fleets (usually tri-axle); Hello Gravel coordinates the supplier and hauler so you pick a delivery date at checkout. Tailgate spreading may be available at the driver’s discretion if requested at checkout, but it is not guaranteed.
Hello Gravel requires a minimum order of 3 tons, though some local suppliers may have different minimums. Delivery access, driveway width, overhead wires, and neighborhood restrictions can affect where the truck can dump; provide clear delivery notes and photos if you have tight access. If you need material placed in multiple spots, discuss this with our team ahead of time so we can coordinate the right equipment.
Permit needs vary by project size and location; small deliveries for routine landscaping usually do not require a delivery permit, but driveway replacements, curb cuts, and permanent hardscape installations may need village or county permits. Check with the Village of North Riverside and Cook County building or public works departments before major work. When in doubt, contact our team for guidance so you can verify local rules before ordering.
Soil type, yard slope, drainage patterns, and proximity to roads (salt exposure) all influence which materials perform best. Poorly draining sites often benefit from coarser, free-draining products and improved base layers, while areas with heavy vehicle loads need materials that compact and lock together. A simple site assessment—looking for standing water, slope, and nearby salt use—helps pick the right option.
The main installation season runs from spring through fall when the ground is not frozen and heavy rains are less frequent. Winter deliveries are possible for many materials, but installation quality can be affected by frozen ground and snow, and some contractors limit work in winter. Plan projects with flexibility for weather-related delays during transitional months.
Most people measure the area and desired depth, then use a calculator to convert to cubic yards and tons; our online calculator does this automatically. Contractors often add an allowance for compaction and grading and will confirm quantities on site before ordering. If you are unsure, request a site review or contact our sales team for help with estimates.
Many local providers offer delivery-only service as well as combined delivery plus installation, including grading, compaction, and spreading. Hello Gravel coordinates delivery to your site, and you can choose to hire a contractor for full installation or handle the work yourself. If you need installation, ask your contractor about warranties, scheduling, and whether they prefer material delivered in a specific way.
Prices vary by proximity to local quarries and hauling distance; areas closer to suppliers tend to see lower transport costs. Hello Gravel shows transparent, locally sourced pricing so you can compare costs for your zip code. For large projects, request multiple quotes and factor in delivery fees and seasonal demand.
Natural materials vary by region and batch, so texture and color may differ from online photos. We encourage adding color or material preferences in Order Notes and contacting customer service promptly if you have concerns. Our team will work to resolve issues and can provide guidance on returns or next steps per our policies.
As of today, we require 2 business days for delivery.

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. Enter your zip code on our site, select how much material you need (see below FAQ’s to determine order size), select the date and time frame you would like your material delivered at Checkout, and place your order with any major credit card. 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. On delivery day, a dump truck will arrive to dump the materials at your specified location. We request that you have someone available to accept the delivery so that we can make sure to dump it in the correct location. That’s it!
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.
