Why Smithfield Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Smithfield is a small but active community with a city population of 470 located in the South Jacksonville area of West Illinois, Illinois. A steady growth rate of 1.20% annually signals incremental residential and infrastructure demand rather than a sudden boom — that tends to translate into ongoing home improvement, landscaping upgrades, and targeted construction projects instead of large-scale subdivision development. With 228 sunny days and 35.50 inches of annual rainfall, local projects need materials that balance drainage and moisture retention: durable base materials for drives and walkways, permeable surface options for yards, and planting mixes that support landscaping through both sunny stretches and moderate rain. The nearby metro market of 2.6+ million provides access to a broad supplier and contractor network, but regional sourcing means the texture and color of aggregates will reflect local geology, so homeowners should expect natural variation when ordering bulk materials.Popular Projects in Smithfield This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Smithfield Gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in Smithfield.
Choose based on load, drainage, and appearance rather than a single product. Well-draining aggregates are usually best for freeze-thaw areas, and combining a compacted base with a wearing layer helps longevity. Because local geology varies, gravel, sand, dirt, stone and blends from nearby suppliers may look and compact differently, so use our material quiz or consult our team for a recommendation.
Prices vary by material, quantity, distance from the supplier, and delivery speed, so local quotes are the most accurate. Hello Gravel displays transparent pricing and connects you with nearby suppliers so you can compare per-ton or per-cubic-yard costs. For a firm number, run the calculator on our site or request a quote for your Smithfield zip code (61477).
Materials that shed water and resist frost heave tend to perform best in Smithfield’s climate. A well-draining base and proper compaction are often more important than the exact product; gravel, sand, dirt, stone mixes that allow water to escape will reduce freeze-thaw damage. Talk to a supplier about local mixes and recommended base depths for your specific project and soil type.
Standard delivery is typically 2+ business days, with a next-day option available for orders placed before noon CST for an additional fee. Minimum orders generally start at 3 tons and deliveries are made by contracted dump truck fleets (often tri-axle). Remote or specialty materials and seasonal demand can add lead time, so check available dates at checkout.
Hello Gravel works with a nationwide network but local availability depends on supplier service area and road access. Enter your Smithfield zip code (61477) on our site to see which suppliers serve your address and which nearby zip codes are covered. If delivery to a specific neighborhood is limited, our team can help find the closest pickup or alternative delivery options.
Measure length and width to calculate area, then decide on a depth (for example, 3-6 inches for a patio base) and multiply area by depth to get cubic feet. Divide cubic feet by 27 to convert to cubic yards, and use our online calculator to convert cubic yards to tons because densities vary by material. Order an extra 5-10% to account for compaction and waste, and contact our team if you need help with the math.
There are tradeoffs: coarser, open-graded materials drain well and are low maintenance but may shift more under traffic, while finer materials compact more tightly but can hold water and require edging. Durability depends on use—driveways carrying vehicles need a different base and thickness than walking paths or decorative beds. Consider drainage needs, how much traffic the surface will get, and the look you want when choosing between gravel, sand, dirt, stone and blends.
Yes. Local building permits, township road weight limits, and HOA covenants can affect deliveries and driveway work in Smithfield. Check with the City of Smithfield, Fulton County, or your HOA before ordering so you know about permits, required setbacks, or truck access restrictions. If you’re unsure, our support team can point you to the right local contacts.
Spring through early fall is usually the easiest time for deliveries and installations because ground conditions are more favorable and contractors are available. Winter deliveries are possible but can be impacted by frozen or muddy ground, snow, and shorter daylight, which may complicate placement. Plan ahead for peak seasons and check weather before a scheduled delivery.
Next-day delivery is often available for orders placed before noon CST for an additional fee, but same-day delivery is rare and depends on local supplier and truck availability. Tailgate spreading may be offered at the driver’s discretion; you can request it at checkout but there are no guarantees. If you need faster service or spreading, contact our team and we will do our best to find options.
Provide clear notes at checkout about the best drop location, any obstacles (low branches, gates, or narrow drives), and ground sensitivity such as recently seeded lawn or soft shoulders. Drivers use contracted trucks and will assess safety and site conditions on arrival; if access is limited they may suggest alternate drop points. Including photos or measurements when you order helps avoid surprises and speeds up delivery.
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.
Absolutely! Try our aggregate quiz here: https://hellogravel.com/aggregate-quiz/ Alternatively,you can call us, chat with us (box in the bottom right corner of the website), or email us!
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!
