Why Oakwood Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Oakwood is a small but active community with a city population of 2,720, situated within a broader metro area of 2.6+ million. A steady 1.20% annually growth rate means more home improvements, infill projects, and landscaping upgrades rather than boom-level construction; homeowners can expect gradual upticks in demand for foundations, driveways, and yards that require bulk materials. The local climate — 228/year sunny days and 35.50 inches of rain in hardiness zone 8b — supports extended building seasons, but also creates a need for materials that balance sun exposure and water management. That combination drives demand for a mix of aggregates, topsoil, sand, and mulches that perform well under both sunny, drying conditions and moderate rainfall. For Oakwood homeowners, sourcing quality, locally suited bulk materials reduces rework, improves longevity of patios, beds, and drainage features, and helps projects stay on schedule as the market grows.Popular Projects in Oakwood This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Oakwood Gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in Oakwood.
Delivery costs vary with distance, load size, and site access. Hello Gravel shows transparent pricing at checkout and often offers free delivery in many areas; additional fees may apply for next-day delivery, long hauls, or difficult drop locations. Contact our team for a tailored quote for your zip code.
Choose materials and assemblies that drain well and resist frost heave, such as well-graded, compactable aggregates and stable base mixes. Proper site preparation, good drainage, and a compacted subbase matter more than any single material; our team can help pick options suited to Oakwood's climate. Remember regional sourcing means texture and color may vary.
Spring through fall is the most flexible time for most projects, while winter deliveries can be limited by frozen ground and weather delays. Plan at least 2+ business days for standard delivery, and request next-day service before noon CST if you need faster arrival. Expect longer lead times during peak landscaping season and after major storms.
Many properties in West Illinois have heavier clay or silty soils that hold water, so look for materials and installation methods that improve drainage and reduce settling. Consider grading, undercutting soft spots, adding a compacted base, or using permeable surface layers to manage runoff. If you suspect poor soils, a quick site assessment or test pit can guide the right material choices.
Permit needs and load rules depend on the township, county, and whether trucks must block public roads or cross curbs. Check with Oakwood municipal offices or the county highway department for road use, curb cut, or temporary parking permits. When in doubt, ask our team—we can flag common local requirements before delivery.
Contractors usually calculate area and depth, then convert to cubic yards: (square feet × depth in inches) ÷ 324 = cubic yards. They then factor compaction and waste; using Hello Gravel's material calculator or our sales team can simplify these conversions. For ton estimates, density varies by material, so allow the supplier to convert cubic yards to tons for a precise quote.
Start with proper grading to direct water away from structures, add edging or berms to hold material in place, and use geotextile fabric on slopes or soft soils to stabilize the base. Choose permeable or well-draining surface configurations and avoid sealing large areas without runoff plans. Always check local stormwater rules and consider rain gardens or swales for extra control.
Hello Gravel's minimum order is 3 tons; delivery limits depend on local supplier radius and truck availability. Many suppliers serving West Illinois operate within about 20-50 miles of Oakwood, but exact radiuses and fees vary by zip code and time of year. Enter your zip code at checkout or contact our team to confirm availability and lead times.
Drivers may be able to perform tailgate spreading at their discretion, but this service is not guaranteed. Request spreading at checkout and the driver will assess safety and feasibility upon arrival. For larger or precise spreading jobs, plan to hire a contractor or arrange professional spreading separately.
Homeowners often pick durable, well-draining surface systems that require minimal upkeep, combined with a compacted base for stability. Permeable aggregates and properly sized topcoats perform well in the local climate and reduce pooling and frost issues. Use our aggregate quiz or contact sales for options that balance appearance, maintenance, and budget.
Next-day delivery is often available for orders placed before noon CST for an additional fee, subject to supplier and truck availability. Same-week delivery is commonly feasible outside peak season, but weather, supplier schedules, and order size can affect lead times. We recommend booking early and confirming your preferred date during checkout to secure the best window.
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. However, we do charge a markup and because of this you may be able to find the materials cheaper on your own. But if you want a hassle free experience, then we are for you!
