Why Saline County Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Saline County's population (city population) is 233, while the surrounding metro area population is 2.5+ million. A 3.30% annual growth rate points to steady local demand for housing, repairs, and outdoor improvements—meaning more homeowners are planning projects that require bulk materials. In Saline County's climate—hardiness zone 8b with 152 sunny days per year and 33.50 inches of annual rainfall—construction seasons are relatively long but precipitation is substantial enough to make drainage and erosion control a priority. These conditions drive demand across a range of materials: stable base aggregates for driveways and patios, well-graded fill and topsoil for yards and planting, sand for leveling and bedding, and organic mulch for moisture retention. Because materials are regionally sourced, texture, color, and gradation will reflect local geology, so picking the right combination of materials matters for durability, plant health, and long-term maintenance.Popular Projects in Saline County This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Saline County Gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in Saline County.
Costs vary by material type, local supplier, distance from the source, and current demand. Instead of a fixed number, expect quotes that combine material price and delivery fees; use Hello Gravel's online quote tool for transparent pricing and compare per-ton or per-cubic-yard estimates from suppliers. Seasonal demand and hauling distance are the biggest drivers of price differences.
Choose materials that provide good drainage and load-bearing capacity from the gravel, sand, dirt, stone group rather than focusing on a single product. Proper base preparation, drainage, and compaction matter more than exact color or texture—these help resist freeze-thaw cycles and heavy rains common in southern Illinois. Talk to our team about expected traffic and local conditions so you get a material suited to your site.
Delivery radius depends on the supplier and material source; many local suppliers serving Saline County deliver within roughly 20-50 miles, but some will travel farther for larger orders. Hello Gravel connects you to nearby suppliers so you can see which haulers serve your zip code and get accurate delivery fees. If you are farther from quarries or pits, expect higher transport charges.
Late spring through early fall is usually the easiest time to deliver and install bulk materials, because ground is drier and crews can work without frozen or saturated soil. Winter and early spring can be problematic due to frozen ground, mud, and restricted access; deliveries are possible but may require extra planning or fees. Schedule in advance during busy seasons to secure your preferred date.
Local contractors typically offer site prep, grading, base installation, compaction, drainage work, and spreading of delivered materials. Many also provide excavation, removal of old material, and edge restraint for driveways and patios. Get multiple quotes, confirm insurance, and ask for references and examples of similar work before hiring.
Measure length, width, and desired depth, then use this formula to get cubic yards: (length in ft x width in ft x depth in inches) / 324 = cubic yards. Convert cubic yards to tons using the material's density—this varies by material—so use Hello Gravel's calculator or ask our team for a conversion for gravel, sand, dirt, stone. Remember our minimum order is 3 tons, and order slightly extra to allow for compaction and grading.
Pricing is influenced by local geology, source availability, and hauling distance, so Saline County prices are often similar to nearby southern Illinois areas but can differ from urban or northern parts of the state. Remote locations or specialty materials tend to cost more because of longer transport. Use Hello Gravel to get side-by-side quotes that reflect local sourcing and delivery fees.
Smaller landscaping deliveries commonly do not require permits, but larger fill projects, significant grading, changes to drainage, or work in regulated floodplains may need county or township permits. Before a major project, check Saline County planning and zoning or contact the local township to confirm permit requirements and any erosion-control rules. When in doubt, consult a local contractor or the county office.
Plan a clear drop zone with good access and remove cars or obstacles; make sure overhead wires and low branches won’t interfere with a dump truck. The driver will assess the site and may perform tailgate spreading at their discretion, but spreading is not guaranteed. Provide a contact phone number, mark the preferred drop location, and be prepared for a brief on-site assessment when the truck arrives.
Consider the function (drainage, load-bearing, weed suppression, or appearance), maintenance needs, and local climate when choosing from gravel, sand, dirt, stone options. For example, pick materials that drain well in heavy rain, resist washout on slopes, and match the look you want for patios or beds. Use Hello Gravel's material quiz or contact our team to match project goals with locally sourced options and installation tips.
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!
