1 1/2″ Crushed Gravel

3/4″ Crushed Stone
A reliable, clean ¾” crushed granite or limestone with many applications. Great for gravel driveways, concrete mixes, landscaping applications, and backfilling retaining walls or around foundations.
Fill Dirt
Versatile, lower-grade soil commonly used for volume and elevation changes in various construction and landscaping projects. Great for leveling or grading ground, backfilling pools and filling ditches, and evening out low points or depressions on your property.
Road Base

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.

Why Round Lake Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Round Lake homeowners live in a city with a population of 57,170 where steady expansion—about 1.20% annual growth—translates into consistent demand for residential and light commercial projects. That steady, measured growth fuels ongoing needs for driveways, patios, garden renovations, foundation repairs, and stormwater improvements rather than sudden booms. Local climate and geography—228 sunny days per year, 35.50 inches of annual rainfall, and hardiness zone 8b—mean materials must balance sun exposure with reliable drainage and erosion control. In practice, homeowners benefit from aggregates, soils, and mulches that compact predictably for strong bases, resist breakdown under UV, and allow water to move away from structures. Regional sourcing also influences color and texture, so knowing local material characteristics helps match performance and aesthetics for long-term value and lower maintenance.Popular Projects in Round Lake This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Round Lake Gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in Round Lake.
Start with the project goal (drainage, surface stability, appearance) and site conditions (slope, soil, vehicle traffic). For most jobs in Round Lake you should consider a well-draining option that resists frost heave; think about texture and color, but remember local suppliers source materials regionally so looks vary. Use our material calculator and contact the Hello Gravel team if you need help matching performance and appearance to your project.
Round Lake's freeze-thaw cycles, snow, and spring rain increase the need for drainage and frost-resistant installation methods. Choose materials and build-ups that shed water and avoid fine, compacting mixes in areas prone to standing water to reduce frost heave. Proper grading and drainage are as important as material selection for long-term performance.
As a general guide: compacted base layers are often 4-6 inches for patios and many driveways and 6-8 inches for heavy-vehicle driveways; surfacing or top layers are commonly 1-3 inches depending on the material. For drainage trenches or French drains, 4-12 inches of aggregate is typical depending on flow needs. Use a material calculator to convert depth to cubic yards or tons for your project because material density varies.
Measure the area and depth, then convert to cubic yards and add a 5-15% allowance for compaction, waste, and grading. Because weight per cubic yard varies by material, use Hello Gravel's online calculator or request an estimate from our team to get tonnage and delivery recommendations. Ordering a little extra is usually easier and cheaper than a rush re-delivery.
Hello Gravel's minimum order is 3 tons and standard delivery lead time is 2+ business days. Next-day delivery is often available for orders placed before noon CST for an extra fee, and fees vary by distance and supplier. Many areas qualify for free delivery; specific costs and dates are shown at checkout when you enter your zip code (60073 and surrounding zips).
Next-day delivery is often available for orders placed before noon CST, subject to supplier and truck availability and additional fees. Same-day delivery is rare and depends on local hauler schedules; contact our team as early as possible and include your delivery zip code so we can check real-time availability. We will confirm the delivery window once your order is accepted by a local supplier and hauler.
Clear a safe dump zone and mark any obstacles, overhead wires, soft turf, or narrow gates before delivery; provide access notes at checkout. Dump trucks are typically tri-axle and heavy, so protect lawns and driveways if needed and expect the driver to place material from the truck bed at their discretion. If you want tailgate spreading, request it at checkout but know the driver will assess safety and cannot guarantee spreading.
Prices and availability tend to tighten in spring and early summer when landscape and construction demand rises, and some materials can be limited in winter due to supply and weather. Plan major projects early in the season and check availability and lead times before starting. Seasonal variation also affects color and moisture content because suppliers source regionally.
Yes, many municipalities and HOAs have rules about driveway materials, curb cuts, and visible front-yard surfacing. Check Round Lake municipal codes and your HOA guidelines before ordering; some areas regulate color, permeability, or require permits for certain conversions. If in doubt, contact the Hello Gravel team for advice on common choices that meet local expectations.
Natural materials vary by region, so minor differences in color or texture are common; if the material looks significantly different than your expectation contact customer service promptly. For order changes, reach out as soon as possible—changes are easier to accommodate before materials are dispatched but are not guaranteed after processing. Refer to our refund and issue-resolution guidance for next steps and timelines.
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.
