High-grade soil enriched with organic matter. Perfect for landscaping, lawn establishment and repair, and for improving existing soil.
Fulfillment:
Should never be fulfilled with material that does not include an organic component, though organic components should be small.
2-10% organic is ideal
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.
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.
Mason Sand
A fine, clean sand for construction and masonry. Use it under pavers or turf, mix it into mortar or soil, or spread it across your lawn to smooth out bumps and low spots in your lawn.
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.

Why Sumner Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Sumner is a small but steadily expanding community with a city population of 1,990 and connections to a broader metro area population of 2.6+ million. A growth rate of 1.20% annually means development is measured but persistent—enough to keep steady demand for home repairs, landscaping updates, and modest new construction projects. With 228 sunny days annually, an annual rainfall of 35.50 inches, and placement in hardiness zone 8b, local conditions favor year-round outdoor work while also creating specific material needs: reliable base materials for stable driveways and paths, well-draining aggregates for beds and trenches, quality topsoil and amendments for planting, and moisture-retaining mulches for hotter, sunnier stretches. Homeowners increasingly choose materials that reduce maintenance and manage stormwater effectively; that drives the need for properly sized, locally sourced bulk supplies that perform under Sumner’s climate.Popular Projects in Sumner This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Sumner Gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in Sumner.
Start by matching material performance to the project: consider drainage, compaction, and appearance. For most projects, comparing the group of gravel, sand, dirt, stone by size and texture helps—smaller, compactable mixes are better for driveways and walkways while coarser material works for drainage and decorative beds. If you are unsure, use a material calculator or contact our team for guidance on quantities and best fits for Sumner's local soils and climate.
Calculate area (length x width) and desired depth to estimate volume, then convert cubic yards to tons using a general density estimate or our online calculator. Always order a small overage (typically 5-10%) to account for compaction, grading, and waste, and remember our minimum order is 3 tons. If your site has slopes or uneven ground, allow extra material or request a site review.
Standard delivery typically requires 2 or more business days and next-day delivery may be available for orders placed before noon CST with an extra fee. Materials are delivered by contracted dump truck fleets (usually tri-axle) and regional suppliers source materials to match local geology. You choose a delivery date at checkout and drivers will confirm placement upon arrival; tailgate spreading may be available at the driver's discretion but is not guaranteed.
Yes—seasonal weather in Sumner affects timing and performance; wet or frozen ground can make spreading and compaction difficult and may increase delivery delays. Spring and fall are popular for landscaping, while winter deliveries can be limited by road conditions or frozen surfaces. Plan projects with weather windows in mind and allow extra lead time during rainy seasons.
Rural roads, narrow driveways, low-hanging power lines, and soft shoulders common in West Illinois can limit truck access and placement options. Provide clear instructions at checkout, mark the desired drop area, and communicate any obstacles so the driver can plan. If access is restricted, consider smaller trucks or alternate drop points and request this information when you order.
Pricing reflects regional sourcing, material type, quantity, and distance from the supplier to Sumner; larger orders usually lower the price per ton. Additional costs can include expedited delivery, difficult access fees, and any requested spread services. Contractors also factor in seasonal demand and supply availability when estimating total project costs.
Permit requirements vary by project type and location—simple residential deliveries usually do not need permits, but placing material in public right-of-way, altering driveways, or large commercial projects may require town or county approval. Check with Sumner municipal offices or Jefferson County for driveway, grading, and stormwater rules before you order. If you plan to alter drainage or excavate, consult local building or planning departments to avoid fines or delays.
Clear the drop area of vehicles, low branches, and obstacles, and flag the exact placement spot so the driver can position the truck safely. Confirm ground conditions—avoid saturated or frozen spots that could cause trucks to become stuck—and provide alternate access if needed. Communicate any special instructions in Order Notes and call customer support if the site has tricky access.
We offer an online material calculator and an aggregate quiz to guide material selection and estimate quantities based on project dimensions. Our team can also advise on common choices for Sumner projects, regional variations in materials, and scheduling delivery windows to match your project timeline. Contact our sales team for personalized guidance and a quote.

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.
