Materials Available for Delivery
#57 Crushed Stone
Multi-use crushed stone for home & landscape projects. Ranging from ¾” to 1” in size, #57 stone is a versatile product used for concrete production, drainage applications, driveways, parking lots, and as base material under slabs and footings. Large enough to provide drainage but small enough to lock together when applied and create a stable base and a relatively smooth surface.
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.
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.
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.
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.

Why Western Springs Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Western Springs has a city population of 14,330 and sits within a broader region whose metro area population is 2.6+ million. A steady growth rate of 1.20% annually means incremental but persistent demand for residential upgrades, infill projects, and outdoor improvements rather than a sudden construction boom. Local climate and geography — hardiness zone 8b with 228 sunny days per year and annual rainfall of 35.50 inches — support year-round landscaping and many outdoor projects, but they also create specific needs: reliable drainage, erosion control, and materials that resist seasonal wet–dry cycles. For homeowners this translates into a preference for quality bulk materials (gravel, sand, dirt, stone, mulch and blended soils) that establish proper grade, improve water management, and provide stable beds for patios, walkways, planting areas, and foundations. Contractors and DIYers alike should prioritize materials that compact well, shed water where needed, and match the local aesthetic and site conditions.Popular Projects in Western Springs This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Western Springs Gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in Western Springs.
Start by matching the material to the job needs: load-bearing surfaces need stable, well-compacting materials; areas with drainage needs should use materials that allow water to pass through. Consider appearance, maintenance, and local climate—Western Springs' freeze-thaw cycles and rain can affect settling and drainage. Use our material quiz or call our team for a recommendation that balances durability, look, and budget.
Calculate area (length x width) and choose a target depth, then convert to cubic yards using a simple formula or our online calculator for an accurate result. If you prefer not to do the math, use Hello Gravel’s material calculator or contact our sales team with your dimensions and project type. Keep in mind our minimum order is 3 tons and different materials have different weights, so we can help convert volume to tons for ordering.
Price depends on material type, local availability, quantity ordered, delivery distance, and timing (rush or next-day deliveries cost more). Hello Gravel shows transparent pricing at checkout and may offer free delivery in some areas, with next-day delivery available for orders placed before noon CST for an extra fee. Always consider extra costs like spreading, compaction, disposal of old material, or permits when planning your budget.
Standard delivery generally takes 2+ business days, and next-day delivery is available for orders placed before noon CST with an additional fee. Deliveries arrive by dump truck (typically tri-axle) and drivers will place the load based on site access; tailgate spreading can be requested but is done at the driver’s discretion and is not guaranteed. Check your zip code on our site for local availability and include delivery notes about access, gates, or sensitive surfaces.
Western Springs experiences freeze-thaw cycles and wet springs, so choose materials that handle frost heave and drain well if you expect standing water. Plan delivery and installation for drier months when possible to reduce tracking, compaction problems, and difficult spreading. For winter work, order materials designed for cold-weather use and allow for extra compaction or regrading in spring.
Stable, well-compacting materials provide a firm surface for driveways but may require a solid base and occasional maintenance; looser materials are easier to install and drain well but can shift and need more regular topping. Consider appearance, long-term maintenance, cost, and drainage needs rather than a single “best” material—your project goals and site conditions in Western Springs should guide the choice. Our team can help weigh these trade-offs for your specific project.
You may need permits for major changes like expanding a driveway, altering drainage, or modifying curbs; HOAs often have appearance rules or material restrictions. Always check with the Village of Western Springs and your HOA before ordering large quantities; Hello Gravel can provide delivery details to include in permit applications or HOA requests. If street parking or blocking is required for delivery, plan ahead for any permits or notifications.
Confirm site access, overhead clearance, weight limits on driveways, and a clear drop zone for the dump truck; narrow streets or tight turns can affect truck size and placement. Schedule deliveries during off-peak hours when possible, consolidate large orders to reduce trips, and communicate staging instructions in the order notes. For frequent jobs, set up account-level preferences and coordinate with our team for reliable scheduling and accurate quantity estimates.
Drivers may be able to perform limited tailgate spreading at their discretion, but this service is not guaranteed and depends on safety and site conditions. For full spreading, grading, and compaction, hire a local contractor or plan to rent equipment; we can note spreading requests at checkout so drivers are aware. Treat driver-assisted spreading as occasional convenience rather than a substitute for professional installation.
Most surfaces need periodic maintenance like raking, regrading low spots, topping up material every few years, and keeping drainage clear to prevent pooling. Expect more frequent touch-ups in high-traffic areas and after winter freeze-thaw events; weed control and edging can also extend the life and appearance of the surface. We can advise on expected maintenance for your chosen material and help plan quantities for future top-ups.
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!
