Materials Available for Delivery
Road Base
(Class 5 | ABC | Crusher Run) A mixture of crushed limestone or granite, gravel, and sand, ranging from 1 ½” in size down to fines (small particles). 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.
Driveway Gravel
A ¾”-1” clean, crushed stone ideal for rejuvenating worn down gravel driveways, or for installing a fresh new driveway on your property. Aesthetically pleasing and functional!
1 1/2″ Crushed Gravel
Larger 1 ½” gravel perfect for french drains, drainage ditches, catch basins, and erosion control. Also used in base layers for road projects in areas with poor soil conditions, as backfill material, and for ground cover applications where smaller stones may wash away.
Walkway Gravel
A smaller ⅜” crushed stone that is great for paths, patios, and garden walkways. Comfortable under foot thanks to its smaller size, and creates a beautiful garden-like atmosphere.
Drain Rock
A larger 1 ½” crushed gravel that allows for water flow and drainage, preventing accumulation and pooling when properly installed. Perfect for french drains and other drainage applications, around utility lines, septic systems, sump pump basins and drainage pits.

Why Sidell Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Sidell is a small but active community (city population 550) within the broader West Illinois region whose metro area population of 2.6+ million and steady growth rate of 1.20% annually point to ongoing, predictable demand for residential and infrastructure work. That steady expansion tends to drive continuous, practical projects — driveway repairs, grading and drainage fixes, plant-bed refreshes, and modest additions — rather than one-time construction booms. Sidell’s climate (hardiness zone 8b, 228 sunny days per year, and 35.50 inches of annual rainfall) creates a long workable season but also intermittent wet periods, so homeowners need bulk materials that balance permeability, stability, and erosion resistance. Choosing quality aggregates, soils, sands, and mulches that reflect local geology helps projects perform better and last longer in these specific conditions.Popular Projects in Sidell This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Sidell Gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in Sidell.
Homeowners in Sidell typically choose locally sourced aggregates based on performance and appearance; common choices include mixes for driveways, base, and top dressing. Because materials reflect local geology, expect variation in color and texture; consider the group gravel, sand, dirt, stone when matching drainage, compaction, and aesthetics to your project. If you are unsure, use a material calculator or contact our team for guidance on the right option for your yard or driveway.
Prices vary with material type, order size, distance from the supplier, and current local demand, so exact costs are best obtained with a zip-code quote. Hello Gravel requires a minimum order of 3 tons, offers clear upfront pricing and often free delivery in many areas, and can provide next-day delivery for orders placed before noon CST for an extra fee. Request a quote online to see delivery charges and material costs specific to your Sidell address.
Sidell experiences freeze-thaw cycles that can shift loose materials and cause settling if surfaces are not properly graded and compacted. For long-term performance, choose materials and installation methods that promote drainage and interlock (for example, a compacted base with a properly graded top layer); this applies equally to gravel, sand, dirt, stone. Good drainage, edge restraints, and occasional topping up will reduce frost heave and keep surfaces stable.
Spring and fall are often the easiest seasons for delivery and installation because ground conditions are moderate and demand is lower than peak summer. Deliveries can still occur in winter or after rain, but frozen or very soft ground and muddy access may limit truck access and spreading; plan projects with a few days' flexibility. Standard delivery lead time is 2+ business days, with a next-day option available for eligible orders placed before noon CST.
Many local suppliers and haulers will deliver to rural Sidell properties, but access restrictions such as narrow roads, low-hanging wires, soft shoulders, or posted weight limits can affect the truck types that can be used. Dump trucks are typically tri-axle and require a clear path and safe turnaround; we recommend adding access notes at checkout and contacting customer service if you have any access concerns. Drivers will assess site conditions on arrival and may decline spreading or direct driveway dumping for safety reasons.
Local zoning, county road rules, and HOA guidelines can restrict surface types, drainage treatments, and impervious coverage, so always check municipal and neighborhood rules before ordering. Many regulations focus on appearance, stormwater runoff, and drainage rather than specific material brands, so selecting from the group gravel, sand, dirt, stone may still require approval based on color, compaction, or edging. If you’re unsure, contact your county office or HOA and keep documentation handy when ordering.
Successful drainage and erosion control usually combine the right aggregate mix with grading, slope management, and sometimes geotextile fabric or retaining features. For slopes and channels, coarser mixes for stability plus strategic edging and vegetation work well; for low spots, materials that improve permeability paired with proper grading help move water away from structures. Always consider seasonal runoff patterns in Sidell and consult a local contractor for steep or problem areas.
Material availability and pricing can change seasonally—quarry maintenance, winter trucking limits, and peak landscaping season demand all affect what is in stock and the delivery cost. Regional sourcing means local suppliers influence availability, so materials may vary in color and gradation over time. To avoid delays and price spikes, plan ahead, request a quote early, and be flexible on delivery dates when possible.
Calculate the area (length x width) and multiply by depth to get volume, then convert to cubic yards; for planning, allow an extra 5-10% for compaction and waste. As a rough guide, 3 inches of material over a 12 ft x 24 ft driveway is about 2.7 cubic yards (roughly 3.8 tons using typical local density), but densities vary—use a material calculator or ask our team for a site-specific estimate. We recommend ordering slightly more than your calculation and confirming the minimum 3-ton order requirement when checking out.
Lifespan and upkeep depend on material selection, installation methods, and local weather; well-installed stone or compacted base layers can last many years with occasional top-ups, while loose mixes and dirt areas may need more frequent replenishing and grading. Regular tasks include re-grading low spots, adding material after heavy winters, and keeping drainage clear; these steps help extend the life of gravel, sand, dirt, stone installations in Sidell's climate. If you want a low-maintenance option, talk to our team about mixes and installation tips suited to your project and budget.
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.
