Why Osco Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Osco (city population 280) sits within a growing West Illinois metro area (metro area population 2.6+ million), and the steady 1.20% annual growth rate points to consistent, modest demand for housing updates, landscaping, and small-scale infrastructure work. That kind of steady growth usually means homeowners are more likely to invest in durable driveways, drainage upgrades, garden expansions, and outdoor living spaces over time rather than a single boom. With 228/year sunny days, 35.50 inches of annual rainfall, and a hardiness zone of 8b, local projects need materials that balance sun and rain performance — products that provide good drainage during storms, resist UV and weathering between rains, and support plantings suited to the growing season. For homeowners that translates to carefully chosen topsoil blends, dependable base materials for paths and driveways, and aggregates that help manage runoff and erosion while staying visually consistent with local geology.Popular Projects in Osco This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Osco Gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in Osco.
Choose materials based on load, drainage, and maintenance needs. Well-draining, angular materials compacted over a stable base tend to perform better in local soils and freeze-thaw conditions; combining layers (base plus wearing surface) improves longevity. Consider how often vehicles will use the area and ask our team for recommendations that fit both your budget and local conditions.
Spring through fall is generally the easiest time for deliveries and installation because ground is not frozen and weather is more predictable. Winter deliveries are possible but can be affected by snow, ice, and frozen ground, which may increase fees or require different handling. Always check local weather and schedule with us early for busy seasons.
Yes, our network includes local suppliers and haulers who commonly deliver to rural addresses across the West Illinois area, but availability depends on your zip code and road access. Enter your zip at checkout to confirm service, and expect haulers to check driveway clearance, road weight limits, and turnaround space before finalizing delivery details. Additional fees or special routing may apply for very remote or tight-access locations.
Hello Gravel requires a minimum order of 3 tons. Standard delivery usually takes 2 or more business days, while next-day delivery is available for orders placed before noon CST for an additional fee. Rural locations, custom requests, or large orders may need extra lead time, so contact our team if you have a tight schedule.
Measure the length, width, and desired depth of the area and use a cubic yard or ton calculator to convert those numbers into an order quantity. A common formula for cubic yards is (length ft x width ft x depth in inches) / 324, but material weight varies by type, so use our online calculator or contact our team for a tailored estimate. When in doubt, order a little extra to account for compaction and settling.
Freeze-thaw cycles can cause settling and movement, especially where drainage or compaction is poor. Using a compacted base, ensuring good drainage, and choosing materials that shed water help reduce frost heave and shifting. Expect natural movement over time and plan for periodic maintenance such as top-ups or regrading.
Combine heavier, angular materials with good drainage features, vegetation, terraces, or retaining structures to slow runoff and hold soil in place. Geotextile fabric under material, proper grading to divert water, and planting groundcover all help stabilize slopes. Choose materials suited to the slope and local rainfall patterns for longer-lasting results.
Local townships and Henry County may have road weight limits, axle restrictions, or permit requirements for oversized loads and heavy truck traffic. Our haulers are familiar with regional rules, but you should check with your township or county for specific restrictions or permit needs before scheduling. We recommend informing us of any known local rules or HOA requirements when ordering.
Delivery costs depend on material type, distance from the supplier, order size, and access conditions. Many orders qualify for free or low-cost delivery in nearby areas, while remote deliveries or special handling can add flat fees or per-ton charges; the exact price appears in checkout before you pay. Contact our team if you need a detailed quote or have unusual access requirements.
Our materials are used for driveways, patios, walkways, garden beds, drainage fixes, backfill, and base layers for hardscapes. Small garden projects often need 1-3 cubic yards, a modest patio 3-7 cubic yards, and a typical single-car driveway 20-40 cubic yards depending on length and depth. Use our material calculator or contact our specialists for project-specific estimates and recommendations.
Contact our customer team as soon as possible to request changes; modifications are easiest before the order is dispatched. If there is a delivery or quality issue, get in touch promptly and we will work to resolve it in line with our policies. Keep photographs and delivery notes handy to help expedite the process.
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.
Hassle Free! Our goal is to make the buying process for gravel and other aggregates as easy and seamless as possible.

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!
