Ranging from ¾” to 1” in size, #57 stone is a versatile product used for concrete production, drainage applications, driveways, parking lots, and as base material under slabs and footings.

Why River Grove Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
River Grove is a community with a city population of 9,470, located within a growing regional market that supports wider demand for housing and infrastructure (metro area population of 2.6+ million). With a measured growth rate of 1.20% annually, that steady expansion translates to consistent projects — remodels, new driveways, yard upgrades, and smaller infill construction — rather than a short-term building boom. The local climate and geography shape those projects: 228 sunny days per year and average annual rainfall of 35.50 inches mean many outdoor jobs are workable year-round, but they also require attention to drainage and material durability. In this context, high-quality bulk materials — from topsoil and compost for planting to well-graded aggregates for paths and drainage layers — matter because they influence long-term performance, erosion control, and plant health across River Grove properties. River Grove’s hardiness zone (8b) and seasonal moisture patterns create specific constraints and opportunities for materials. Soils and weather here favor solutions that balance drainage and moisture retention: well-graded aggregates reduce settling and improve runoff handling, blended soils support plant establishment, and select sands or gravels help prevent rutting in driveways after wet periods. For homeowners, this means choosing materials rated for local freeze-thaw and moisture cycles and scheduling deliveries to avoid saturated ground. Hello Gravel helps by connecting you with local suppliers whose materials reflect regional geology, offering tools to calculate quantities, and scheduling deliveries that match local weather and project timelines.Popular Projects in River Grove This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - River Grove Gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in River Grove.
Start by matching the material to the project's purpose—stability for driveways, good drainage for beds, or a finished look for pathways. Consider local climate and how often the area will be used, then check quantities with a material calculator. If you are unsure, order a small sample or contact our team for guidance.
Think about load, drainage, and maintenance: heavier traffic needs more stable material and proper base preparation, while good drainage prevents washouts during wet seasons. Choose a size and texture that compacts well and fits the look you want. Ask for delivery and spreading options when ordering so placement is efficient.
River Grove sees cold winters and freeze-thaw cycles that can shift loose material and affect drainage, plus wet springs that slow installation. Choose materials and installation methods that tolerate freezing and thawing and ensure proper grading to avoid standing water. Allow extra time for scheduling in spring and winter months when conditions can delay work.
Yes. Heavier clay soils common in northeastern Illinois hold water and may require materials that improve drainage, while sandy or rocky local soils affect compaction. Plan for a proper subgrade and consider edging, geotextile fabric, or additional base material as needed. If you are unsure, provide a short site description or photos when you order so we can suggest options.
Measure the area (length x width) and decide on the depth in inches, then use a cubic volume calculator to convert to tons. Hello Gravel offers an online material calculator and can help estimate amounts based on typical compaction rates. Because driveways and beds compact differently, round up or contact us for a tailored estimate.
Standard delivery typically requires 2+ business days, while next-day delivery is available for orders placed before noon CST for an additional fee. Deliveries are done by contracted dump trucks (usually tri-axle) and you can choose a preferred delivery date at checkout. Always check your zip code (60171) for local availability and any site access constraints.
Drivers may be able to perform tailgate spreading at their discretion, but this is not guaranteed and depends on safety and site access. Request spreading at checkout and the driver will assess on arrival whether it can be done. For guaranteed spreading, plan to hire a local labor crew or equipment for placement.
Pricing is based on material type, quantity, and delivery distance from the local supplier, with a typical minimum order of 3 tons. Hello Gravel shows transparent pricing up front and may offer free delivery in some areas; additional fees can apply for next-day service or hard-to-access sites. For large or recurring orders, contact our sales team for potential volume guidance.
Late spring through early fall is generally easiest for installation because ground conditions are more stable and wetter months are less likely. Winter deliveries are possible but may require extra precautions for freezing conditions and limited access. Schedule early in peak season to secure preferred dates and allow for weather-related delays.
Permit requirements vary by municipality; some places require street-parking permits for delivery trucks, limits on how long materials can sit in public view, or rules for curbside blocking. Check local ordinances in River Grove or contact town authorities before scheduling large deliveries or long-term on-site storage. We can also provide documentation about the delivery vehicle if your municipality requests it.
Contractors should plan for space where a tri-axle dump truck can safely approach and turn, stable ground for offloading, and clear directions in the delivery notes. Communicate timing windows, access limitations, and any required permits when placing the order to avoid delays. For repeat or bulk jobs, coordinate with suppliers early to lock in material availability and delivery slots.
Natural materials vary by local geology, so color and texture can differ from photos; if you have concerns, contact customer service promptly. Order changes are easier to accommodate before processing or dispatch, but depend on supplier and trucking schedules. See our policies for issue resolution and provide photos or notes so we can help resolve the situation quickly.
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.
