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.
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.
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.
Driveway Gravel
A ¾”-1” clean, crushed stone ideal for rejuvenating worn down gravel driveways, or for installing a fresh new driveway on your property. Aesthetically pleasing and functional!

Why Oak Lawn Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Oak Lawn is a growing Chicago suburb with a city population of 53,334 and a metro area population of 2.7+ million. With a steady growth rate of 1.20% annually, homeowners and local builders are investing in durable outdoor projects that need dependable materials. Oak Lawn’s moderate climate—about 228 sunny days per year and annual rainfall of 34.32 inches, in hardiness zone 8b—creates demand for aggregates that balance drainage, stability, and appearance. Homeowners choose gravel for driveways, walkways, patios, and drainage projects because it provides a permeable surface that reduces puddling, resists rutting, and limits erosion compared with some finer soils. Locally sourced gravel also reflects Oak Lawn’s geology, so texture and color can vary but will perform well for foundational and landscape uses.Popular Projects in Oak Lawn This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Oak Lawn gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in Oak Lawn.
You can, but it is not recommended. Grass will often grow back up through a thin layer of gravel in Oak Lawn's humid, seasonally wet climate, and the organic layer beneath can settle and cause unevenness. For best results, remove sod or kill and remove the turf, then add a compacted base before placing gravel.
Oak Lawn's climate has freeze-thaw cycles and areas with clayey, slow-draining soils, so choose a well-graded crushed stone or aggregate with good drainage for driveways and paths. Color and texture will also reflect local geology, so expect regional variation and pick material that suits local aesthetic and drainage needs. If in doubt, order a small test load or speak with our local suppliers.
Yes, but proper preparation is important. Grade and compact the dirt, add a layer of crushed rock or compacted base material, and consider a geotextile to reduce mixing; without this prep the gravel will sink and spread over time. For walkways use 2 inches as a minimum; for driveways aim for 4 inches or more over a compacted base.
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.
