Why South Jacksonville Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
South Jacksonville has a population of 19,636 and sits within a growing regional market that includes a metro area of 2.6+ million residents. A steady growth rate of 1.20% annually translates into ongoing demand for home improvements, infill construction, and landscaping upgrades rather than a sudden building boom. Combined with 228 sunny days and moderate annual rainfall of 35.50 inches, the local climate supports year-round outdoor projects but also drives specific material choices: homeowners need durable base materials for driveways and pathways, well-graded soils for planting beds, and aggregates that handle both drying and occasional wet spells. These trends mean quality bulk materials—gravel, sand, dirt, mulch, and stone—play a practical role in long-term yard performance, drainage, and curb appeal across new builds and renovation projects.Popular Projects in South Jacksonville This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - South Jacksonville Gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in South Jacksonville.
Choose materials that promote drainage and resist freeze-thaw damage. In West Illinois conditions, well-graded, angular aggregates with a compacted base tend to hold up better than loose fines; gravel, sand, dirt, stone mixes are commonly used in layered systems. Proper base preparation, slope, and drainage are as important as the material choice. If you are unsure, use our material quiz or call our team for guidance.
Pricing depends on the material, quantity, and distance from the supplier, plus any special services. Hello Gravel lists transparent costs at checkout, requires a 3-ton minimum, offers standard delivery in 2+ business days, and charges extra for next-day delivery and some long-haul or access-fee situations. Tailgate spreading or special placement may incur additional charges and is performed at the driver’s discretion. Always review the quote and delivery notes before confirming your order.
Materials that drain well and resist movement during freezing and thawing perform best. Coarser, angular aggregates and well-compacted bases reduce heaving and rutting compared with very fine or loose materials; gravel, sand, dirt, stone combinations are often used in layered assemblies to manage moisture. Good site grading and drainage are critical to long-term performance. Discuss seasonal conditions with suppliers to pick the right mix.
Spring and fall are generally the most convenient times for delivery and installation because ground conditions are moderate and crews are widely available. Avoid scheduling major deliveries during deep winter freezes or the muddiest parts of spring if possible. Standard delivery lead time is 2+ business days, while next-day delivery may be available for orders placed before noon CST for an extra fee. Plan ahead for permit windows, contractor schedules, and weather forecasts.
Many suppliers serving South Jacksonville operate within a roughly 20-50 mile radius, but actual ranges vary by supplier and material availability. Hello Gravel’s platform generally requires a 3-ton minimum order and uses dump-truck fleets (often tri-axle) for delivery. Delivery fees and availability depend on distance, access, and local supplier policies, so enter your zip code to get precise options. For tight access or small jobs, ask about smaller loads or alternative drop locations.
Start by measuring the area in square feet and decide the required depth in inches. Use this formula: (area in sq ft x depth in inches) / 324 = cubic yards, then convert to tons using the material-specific weight (a rough range is 1.2 to 1.7 tons per cubic yard depending on the material). Always round up and add 5-10% for compaction and waste, or use Hello Gravel’s material calculator for a tailored estimate. If in doubt, send dimensions to our team for help.
Cost-effectiveness depends on the project and long-term maintenance needs: compacted angular aggregates often offer good durability for driveways, while sand-based systems work well under pavers for low maintenance. Gravel, sand, dirt, stone options vary in upfront cost and lifecycle care, so balance initial price against expected upkeep like regrading, weed control, or replenishment. Contractors and experienced homeowners often choose slightly higher-quality base materials to reduce future maintenance.
Permit requirements and HOA rules vary by property and project type. Simple deliveries usually need no city permit, but driveway alterations, curb cuts, street blocking, or large stockpiles may require city permits or HOA approval. Check with the City of South Jacksonville and your homeowners association before scheduling, and note any delivery restrictions in the order so suppliers can plan accordingly. If you are unsure, our team can point you to local resources.
Compare materials based on particle size, permeability, and stability: coarser, well-graded mixtures drain faster and resist erosion better than fine, silty materials. Consider pairing aggregates with geotextile fabric, terraces, or vegetation to slow runoff and protect slopes. Local climate and soil type influence the best solution, so consult with a contractor or Hello Gravel’s sales team to match materials to your site conditions. Always follow local regulations for work near waterways.
Local contractors typically source from nearby quarries, pits, and landscape suppliers that supply regional aggregates. Hello Gravel connects customers to a network of local suppliers, making it easy to compare product options, delivery fees, and schedules in your zip code. To get the best value, request itemized quotes, check delivery terms, and consider the total delivered cost rather than material price alone. Reviews and local references help evaluate reliability.
Drivers may be able to place material in tighter locations or perform tailgate spreading, but these services are offered at the driver’s discretion and depend on safety, access, and truck type. You should request special placement or spreading at checkout and include detailed access notes and photos if possible. If spreading or precise placement is required, consider hiring local labor in addition to the delivery, or ask us about alternative delivery options. We cannot guarantee spreading or placement.
Take clear photos of the material and the delivery site and contact Hello Gravel customer service as soon as possible. Regional sourcing means color and texture can vary, so we will review your photos and order details and work to resolve the issue according to our policies. Keep delivery records and any order notes handy to speed up the process. For questions on refunds or replacements, refer to our order and refund policy or speak with our team.
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.
