Why Oakwood Hills Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Oakwood Hills, Illinois, is a community where careful growth and stable demand meet local building needs. With a city population of 2,171 and a regional metro of 2.6+ million, the area enefits from a steady 1.20% annual growth rate that translates into ongoing residential upgrades, infill projects, and small-scale new construction. That steady expansion means homeowners and contractors can expect consistent demand for bulk materials—from topsoil and fill dirt to sand, mulch, and a range of aggregates. Oakwood Hills limate—228 sunny days and 35.50 inches of rain annually in hardiness zone 8b—supports year-round outdoor work but also requires materials that manage both dry spells and periodic moisture. For local projects, this makes durability, drainage performance, and proper grading critical; quality bulk materials reduce erosion, support plant health, and provide stable bases for driveways, patios, and foundations. Choosing locally sourced aggregates better matches regional geology and helps avoid surprises in texture and coloration when materials arrive.Popular Projects in Oakwood Hills This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Oakwood Hills Gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in Oakwood Hills.
Oakwood Hills soils can include glacially influenced loams and pockets of clay that hold water; drainage varies by lot. Choose materials that match each site's drainage needs and slope—materials that promote drainage for wet areas and more compactable products for base layers. Consider adding a drainage layer or geotextile under materials if you have poor-draining soil. When in doubt, test a small area or consult our team for local guidance.
Freeze-thaw cycles can cause heaving, cracking, and shifting if subgrades and drainage are not addressed. Select materials and installation methods that allow water to drain away from paved and surfaced areas and use a well-compacted base to reduce movement. Plan installations for warmer months when ground is frost-free, and expect some seasonal settling that may require minor maintenance. Using layered construction and proper slope reduces long-term freeze-thaw damage.
Our minimum order is 3 tons and deliveries are typically by dump truck (often tri-axle). Many residential properties with tight driveways or narrow streets may require smaller trucks, offloads to the street, or additional labor to move material from the dump location. Provide clear access instructions at checkout and check for low-hanging wires, overhead restrictions, or HOA/street permit requirements before delivery. If placement beyond the truck is needed, request special equipment or spreading services at checkout and confirm driver discretion.
On slopes, choose heavier, angular materials and install retention features like terraces or edging to slow runoff and hold material in place. Incorporate drainage controls such as swales, perforated pipe, or retention basins to manage water flow. Use geotextile fabric where erosion is likely and consider staging installation in sections to minimize disturbance. Proper slope preparation and anchoring reduce long-term maintenance and washout.
The best window is typically late spring through early fall when ground is thawed and weather is more predictable. Avoid major installations during freeze-thaw periods or when soil is saturated, as compaction and bonding can be compromised. If you need material sooner, next-day delivery may be available for orders placed before noon CST, but installation timing should still account for local conditions. Schedule work with some flexibility to accommodate weather-related delays.
Bulk materials are suitable for driveways, walkways, patio bases, drainage projects, raised beds, backfill, and erosion control. They also work for temporary construction access, leveling, and base layers for pavers or asphalt. Talk through your project goals so we can suggest a material profile and recommended depth rather than a single product. Many projects benefit from layered approaches—base, drainage layer, and surface material.
Measure the project area (length x width) and decide on the depth you need in inches; convert to cubic yards (area in feet x depth in feet ÷ 27) or ask our online material calculator to do the math for you. Account for compaction and slope by adding 5-15% extra, depending on the material. Remember our minimum order is 3 tons, so small jobs may require ordering the minimum or using a smaller supplier. Contact our team if you’d like help with calculations or recommendations.
Standard delivery is 2+ business days, and next-day delivery is available for orders placed before noon CST for an additional fee. You can choose your preferred delivery date during checkout and add delivery notes for access and placement. Drivers may be able to assist with tailgate spreading at their discretion, but this is not guaranteed. We work with local suppliers and contracted haulers, so availability and free delivery may vary by zip code.
Regular maintenance includes topping up settled areas, regrading ruts, clearing drainage channels, and removing debris that traps moisture. For paved surfaces, control vegetation at edges and repair any small washouts promptly to prevent larger failures. Inspect after major freeze-thaw cycles and heavy storms so you can address settling or erosion quickly. Routine upkeep reduces replacement costs and preserves the appearance and performance of the materials.
Yes, HOAs and the village may have rules about driveway materials, curb cuts, visible surfaces, color, and curbside deliveries. Check your HOA covenants, village building department, and local zoning for permits or restrictions before ordering and scheduling delivery. Some streets may require permits for truck unloading or restrict times for deliveries. If you’re unsure, contact our team and we can help flag common local requirements.
Prices vary widely by material type, season, and local supply; a broad range for bulk aggregates in West Illinois is commonly seen between about $20 and $80 per cubic yard or $15 to $60 per ton. Final pricing depends on the material profile, delivery distance, truck size, and any placement or spreading services. For an accurate number, get a quote for your zip code and project details through our website. We show transparent pricing and delivery options when you enter your location.
Standard deliveries use dump trucks (often tri-axle), but smaller trucks or additional equipment like bobcats, wheelbarrows, or skid steers may be used by local suppliers for tight access jobs. Tailgate spreading can sometimes be requested at checkout but is up to the driver's discretion on arrival. If you expect limited access or need machine placement, note that at checkout so we can coordinate the right hauler and equipment. Always provide clear site access instructions and point out overhead or underground obstructions.
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.
