Why Shelbyville Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Shelbyville has a population of 6,380 and sits within a broader metropolitan region of 2.6+ million residents. A steady 1.20% annual growth rate means demand for home improvements, landscaping, and small-scale construction tends to be consistent rather than volatile—homeowners can expect reliable local need for bulk materials over time. With 228 sunny days annually, moderate annual rainfall of 35.50 inches, and a hardiness zone of 8b, the local climate supports a long working season but creates specific needs: good drainage solutions where rain concentrates, UV-stable surface materials for sun-exposed areas, and base products that resist settling and movement. For Shelbyville projects, quality locally sourced gravel, sand, dirt, mulch, and stone help ensure long-term performance and visual consistency across yards, driveways, and garden beds.Popular Projects in Shelbyville This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Shelbyville Gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in Shelbyville.
Costs vary based on material type, quantity, and delivery distance, but in small Illinois cities like Shelbyville you can expect delivered aggregate prices to vary widely. For many common projects, homeowners see total delivered costs ranging from a few hundred dollars for small orders to over a thousand dollars for large driveway or landscape jobs; comparing per-ton and per-cubic-yard pricing helps. Always factor in delivery fees, seasonal demand, and any special handling when budgeting.
Standard delivery windows are usually 2+ business days from order, with next-day delivery sometimes available for orders placed before noon CST for an additional fee. Lead times can lengthen during peak landscaping seasons, after storms, or when specific materials must be sourced from further away. We recommend ordering early and choosing a preferred delivery date at checkout to lock in timing.
Local suppliers and independent haulers serve Shelbyville, and online platforms connect customers with nearby sources so materials reflect regional geology. Exact supplier availability depends on your zip code and the material you choose, so check local listings or the marketplace checkout to see which partners serve your address. For larger projects, contractors often work directly with suppliers through the same delivery networks.
Shelbyville’s freeze-thaw cycles can cause fine, uncompacted materials to heave and shift over time, so choose mixes designed for stability in seasonal climates. Well-graded aggregates and angular stone mixes tend to lock together and resist movement better than loose fines, and materials that promote drainage will reduce freeze-related damage. Discuss local conditions with a supplier to pick a material that balances durability and maintenance needs.
Late spring through early fall is generally best for deliveries and installations because the ground is less likely to be frozen or saturated. Avoid scheduling major deliveries during freeze-thaw periods or immediately after heavy rains, since wet or frozen ground can complicate spreading and compaction. If you need winter delivery, plan extra time and expect additional handling considerations.
Permit and zoning rules vary by project and location, so check with the City of Shelbyville and any local homeowner association before you begin. Some driveway rebuilds, curb cuts, or large commercial deliveries may require permits, weight restrictions, or inspections. If in doubt, contact local building or public works departments to confirm requirements before ordering materials.
Common residential jobs range from small patch repairs (3-5 tons) to full driveways (15-40+ tons) depending on width, length, and depth. Hello Gravel’s minimum order is 3 tons, so plan around that for small projects or combine material needs to meet the minimum. Use a material calculator and specify desired depth to convert square feet into tons or cubic yards for more accurate planning.
Prices differ by material category and local supply: basic local aggregates tend to be less expensive than washed, screened, or specialty mixes that must be transported farther. Compare costs on a per-ton and per-cubic-yard basis and include delivery, spreading, and compaction in your comparisons. Regional sourcing means nearby options are often the best value for routine landscaping and driveway work.
Contractors typically combine proper grading, well-graded aggregate layers, and geotextile fabric to manage water flow and prevent erosion. Swales, French drains, retaining edges, and crushed aggregate bases that allow infiltration are common solutions depending on site slope and soil type. Choosing materials that shed water and compact well will reduce long-term maintenance and erosion risk.
Priorities depend on the project: low-cost materials can work well for temporary fixes, while long-term drives and high-traffic areas often justify higher upfront cost for durability and lower maintenance. Consider expected use, local climate, and how much maintenance you’re willing to do; often a balanced choice that favors durability and drainage offers the best lifecycle value. If unsure, consult the sales team or use the material quiz to match priorities to suitable options.
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.
