Brown Shredded Mulch
Shredded bark and wood from trees like oak, hickory, and maple, used for landscaping and gardening applications.

Adds a beautiful, finished look to your home’s exterior.
Black Shredded Mulch
Rich black shredded hardwood mulch made from oak, hickory, and maple. Holds in moisture, blocks weeds, and gives your garden beds a bold look that makes green plants and colorful flowers stand out.
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.
Red Shredded Mulch
Red shredded bark and wood from hardwoods like oak, hickory, and maple. Good for gardening and landscaping. Helps hold moisture, block weeds, and adds a bold, red pop to your outdoors.
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.

Why Techny Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Techny has a city population of 54 but sits within a larger regional market with a metro area population of 2.6+ million; that contrast matters for construction demand. A steady growth rate of 1.20% annually signals consistent, gradual development rather than a sudden boom, which tends to produce a steady stream of small-to-medium landscaping and home-improvement projects from homeowners and local contractors. The local climate — 228 sunny days per year and an annual rainfall of 35.50 inches in hardiness zone 8b — encourages year-round work but creates specific material needs: reliable drainage aggregates for wetter periods, sun-resistant surface materials for high-exposure areas, and organic soils and mulches that support heat-tolerant planting. These trends mean homeowners in Techny are prioritizing durable base materials, erosion-control solutions, and versatile topsoils and mulches that perform across seasons, so sourcing quality bulk supplies becomes a practical decision for long-term results.Popular Projects in Techny This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Techny Gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in Techny.
Techny experiences freeze-thaw cycles and seasonal wetness that can affect compaction, drainage, and frost heave. Plan heavy work for drier seasons when the ground is not frozen or waterlogged, and allow extra settling time after winter. Choose materials and installation methods that account for local drainage and freeze-thaw movement.
Homeowners and contractors in the area commonly order materials for driveways, patios, walkways, drainage swales, garden beds, and general site grading or backfill. These materials are used both as base layers and finished surfaces depending on the project goals. Quantities and material type depend on load requirements and desired appearance.
Start by defining the function you need: drainage, load-bearing base, erosion control, or decorative surfacing. Consider particle size, compaction needs, and local color/texture preferences since regional sourcing affects appearance. Use Hello Gravel’s material quiz or contact our sales team for guidance tailored to your project and local conditions.
Measure the area and desired depth to calculate cubic yards, then convert to tons using the material-specific conversion. As a general guideline, 1 cubic yard converts roughly to 1.2–1.6 tons depending on material density and moisture content. Use our online material calculator and round up 5–10% for waste and settling.
Hello Gravel typically requires a 3-ton minimum order, with standard delivery taking 2 or more business days and next-day delivery available for orders placed before noon CST for an additional fee. Delivery fees depend on your zip code, order size, and site access; many areas qualify for free delivery but you should check availability for 60082. Specific charges and options are shown at checkout after you enter your zip code.
Suppliers commonly deliver to Techny (60082) and surrounding zip codes, including 60065, 60062, 60026, 60022, 60025, 60093, 60029, 60015, 60043, 60035, 60053, 60091, 60203, 60077, 60070, 60016, 60714, 60090, 60076, and 60201. Availability can vary by supplier and truck routing, so enter your zip code at checkout to confirm service. We work with local haulers to reach most neighborhoods within the region.
Yes. Many municipalities and HOAs have rules about driveway materials, visible surfacing, curb cuts, stormwater management, and permitted delivery times. Contact your village or township building department and your HOA before ordering to confirm any restrictions or permit needs. If you’re unsure, our sales team can help point you to local resources.
Drivers may be able to perform tailgate spreading at their discretion; request this service at checkout and the driver will assess on arrival. Drivers do not guarantee full grading or mechanical compaction, and those services are typically performed by local contractors. If you need full installation, ask our team for contractor referrals or include notes in your order so we can advise.
Ensure there is clear truck access, note overhead obstructions, narrow streets, or tight turns in the delivery notes, and confirm whether street parking or permits are required. Trucks are usually tri-axle dump trucks and need room to maneuver and safely dump. Poor access can result in added fees, delayed delivery, or the need to reschedule.
Natural materials vary by region, so texture and color may differ from photos; add color or appearance notes at checkout if you have a preference. Contact Hello Gravel customer service as soon as possible to request changes—modifications are easier before an order is dispatched. If there’s an issue after delivery, contact us and we will work to resolve it in line with our policies.
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.
