3/4″ Crushed Stone
A reliable, clean ¾” crushed granite or limestone with many applications. Great for gravel driveways, concrete mixes, landscaping applications, and backfilling retaining walls or around foundations.
Decomposed Granite
Known for its natural look, this compact, durable material drains well and holds up in high-traffic areas. Made from crushed and weathered granite down to a mix of fine gravel and sand—best for patios, paths, driveways, and landscape projects. Can range in color from light brown and tan to reddish and gray, depending on the natural stone color in the region.
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.
Crushed Concrete
Recycled concrete aggregate for construction & landscaping. Often used for road base and sub-base applications, as fill material, and for erosion control. Typically 1 ½” down to fines.
Topsoil
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.

Why Wheeling Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Wheeling is a community with a city population of 34,680 and sits within a broader metro area of 2.6+ million, and that steady 1.20% annual growth translates into consistent demand for home improvements, new builds, and outdoor projects. For homeowners this means more driveway repairs, yard refreshes, and small-scale construction work that all depend on reliable bulk materials. The local climate—with 228 sunny days per year and 35.50 inches of annual rainfall—favors year-round landscaping but also creates specific needs: good drainage mixes for wetter periods, UV-stable surface materials for long sun exposure, and soil blends that support plantings in hardiness zone 8b. In this environment, having access to a range of aggregates, topsoil, sand, and mulches helps residents match materials to project goals and local conditions. Local weather patterns and soil tendencies in Wheeling affect how materials perform over time. Moderate rainfall and frequent sun can intensify erosion on slopes, require faster-draining base layers under pavers, and influence when planting or grading should occur; hardiness zone 8b also broadens the planting window but calls for materials that tolerate occasional heat stress. For homeowners choosing materials, that means prioritizing mixes and grades designed for drainage, compaction, and UV exposure rather than one-size-fits-all options. Hello Gravel helps by connecting you to locally sourced materials and suppliers who understand these conditions, guiding quantity estimates and delivery timing so your project uses the right material for Wheeling's specific climate and growth-driven needs.Popular Projects in Wheeling This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Wheeling Gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in Wheeling.
Start by considering traffic level, desired appearance, and drainage. Materials like gravel, sand, dirt, stone each perform differently for load-bearing and drainage; choose a coarser, angular material for driveways that need stability and better drainage. Use our material calculator and contact our team for help matching a material to Wheeling's freeze-thaw conditions and your budget.
Think about drainage, plant needs, and maintenance. Permeable materials help with runoff, while finer materials are better for smooth paths; the local climate in Wheeling can influence how quickly materials settle or wash away. Add a weed barrier, grade the area for proper slope, and request guidance if you are unsure which option suits your project.
Freeze-thaw cycles can cause movement, settlement, and heaving in poorly compacted or overly fine materials. For projects that need long-term stability, choose materials suitable for freeze-thaw environments and plan for proper compaction and drainage. Remember that regional sourcing means appearance and performance can vary, so ask about local mixes.
Measure the area (length, width, depth) and use a cubic yard or ton calculator to convert volume to the amount to order. Hello Gravel’s online calculator can help, and our team can review calculations for contractors or larger jobs; note our minimum order is 3 tons. Pricing varies by material and local sourcing, so get a quote for a precise cost estimate.
Standard delivery typically requires 2 or more business days, and next-day delivery is available for orders placed before noon CST for an additional fee. You can choose a preferred delivery date at checkout, and materials are delivered by local contracted dump truck fleets, usually tri-axle trucks. Always confirm availability for your zip code and site conditions before scheduling.
Yes. Check driveway width, overhead clearances, tight turns, and local road weight limits that could restrict large dump trucks. Contractors should confirm staging areas and permit needs; provide photos and detailed access notes at checkout so the hauler can assess feasibility ahead of time.
Drivers may be able to perform tailgate spreading at their discretion, but this depends on site conditions, safety, and the driver’s assessment upon arrival. Request spreading at checkout so the driver is aware, but understand that spreading is not guaranteed. For guaranteed spreading, consider hiring a local landscaper or contractor.
Permit and HOA rules vary by property, so check Village of Wheeling codes, county regulations, and any homeowners association guidelines before ordering. Common requirements include driveway work permits and restrictions on on-street staging. Contact our team if you need help identifying potential permitting questions prior to scheduling delivery.
Spring and fall are often ideal for many landscaping and driveway projects because ground conditions are easier to work with than in winter. Avoid scheduling major deliveries during heavy snow or deep freeze periods, and plan ahead in peak seasons to secure your preferred delivery date. Consider how salt use and freeze-thaw cycles will affect material choice and installation timing.
Regional sourcing means materials reflect local geology, so the same material type may vary in color, texture, and grain size in Wheeling compared with other areas. These variations can affect appearance and drainage behavior, so ask for local product descriptions or photos and note any color preferences in your order notes. Samples or small test amounts can help confirm suitability before a large order.
Clear the drop zone of vehicles, furniture, and obstacles, mark underground utilities, and ensure a clear path for a tri-axle truck to approach and leave safely. Designate a specific drop location and provide access instructions or photos when you order. Proper preparation reduces the risk of delays and additional charges due to access issues.
Contact Hello Gravel customer service promptly and provide photos and a clear description of the issue so we can assess and work toward a resolution. We will coordinate with the local supplier and hauler to address problems, and you can review our refund policy if needed. Acting quickly gives the best chance of a satisfactory outcome.
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.
