3/8″ Crushed Stone
(#89 Stone) A smaller crushed stone perfect for walkways and more decorative applications. Pathways will come to life with garden-like aesthetics and be comfortable under foot. Also suitable for various groundcover applications, as an underlayment for patio paver and turf projects, for playground surfacing and for filling gaps between larger stones.
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.
Compost
Premium compost packed with organic nutrients—perfect for revitalizing tired soil and supporting strong, healthy plant growth. Ideal for mixing into garden beds, raised beds, and landscapes needing a natural boost.
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.
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.

Why Ida County Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Ida County has a population of 6,872, and its steady 2.50% annual growth points to rising demand for housing updates, new builds, and outdoor projects. As more homeowners invest in yards and property improvements, bulk materials—gravel, sand, dirt, mulch, and stone—become central to durable driveways, proper drainage, planting beds, and hardscape foundations. The local climate helps explain which materials perform best: with 228 sunny days per year and an average annual rainfall of 33.50 inches, projects must balance water management with UV and weather exposure. Hardiness zone 8b also shapes plant choices and the need for quality topsoil and amendments. In practice, consistent regional sourcing and correctly specified aggregate sizes reduce long-term maintenance and protect investments, helping projects withstand seasonal wetness and sunny, drying periods common here. Local soils and seasonal weather patterns create specific performance requirements for bulk materials. Periods of higher moisture mean homeowners should prioritize materials and mixes that support drainage and resist erosion, while sunny stretches argue for UV-stable mulches and coverings. These local conditions affect compaction, settling, and longevity—factors to consider when ordering quantities and scheduling delivery. Hello Gravel helps by connecting you to nearby suppliers whose materials reflect regional geology, offering calculators and scheduling tools so you can choose the right blends, set delivery timing around the weather, and reduce reorders and callbacks.Popular Projects in Ida County This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Ida County Gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in Ida County.
Hello Gravel offers free delivery in many areas, but availability depends on your zip code and order size. We require a minimum order of 3 tons, and some deliveries may incur a fee for long distances or special handling. Check your zip code at checkout to see if free delivery applies or contact our team for a quote.
We serve most areas across Ida County; check your zip code to confirm availability. Common zip codes we serve in the county include 51006, 51431, 51025, 51458, 51020, 51461, 51448, 51018, 51053, 51019, 51460, 51016, 50535, 51441, 51061, 51004, 51439, 51466, 51034, and 51049. Enter your zip at checkout or contact us if your location is near a county border and you’re unsure.
Start by thinking about function: drainage, load, and appearance. For areas with vehicle traffic choose a compactable base material, while decorative beds and patios can use finer top layers; gravel, sand, dirt, stone all perform differently for drainage and compaction. Use our material quiz and calculator or call our team to match a material to your local soil and climate conditions in Ida County.
Measure the length and width of the area and decide on the depth you need, then use our online calculator to convert volume to tons for the specific material. Typical depths to consider are 2-3 inches for decorative top layers and 4-8 inches for base or driveway layers, but exact needs vary by project and material density. If you’re unsure, send photos or measurements to our team and we’ll help estimate.
Deliveries are made by contracted dump trucks (typically tri-axle) and drivers will place material where it is safe and accessible. Tailgate spreading may be available at the driver’s discretion but is not guaranteed; obstacles, soft ground, or low overhead lines can limit placement. Add special delivery instructions at checkout and contact us if your site has tight access or sensitive landscaping.
Because we source materials regionally, texture and coloration can vary across local suppliers, so the material you receive may differ from photos. Natural variation is normal for gravel, sand, dirt, stone, and other aggregates. If color or texture is important, note preferences in your order and contact our team for guidance before ordering.
Standard delivery is typically 2+ business days from order placement, and next-day delivery may be available for orders placed before noon CST for an extra fee. You can choose your preferred delivery date during checkout, and we’ll confirm the scheduled window. Keep in mind weather, supplier availability, and local road conditions can affect timing.
Ida County’s seasonal weather and local soil conditions can affect material performance and delivery access, especially during wet springs or winter freeze. Plan ahead for seasonal demand, expect some variation in material appearance and compaction, and allow extra time for delivery or spreading during busy months. Our team can advise on suitable materials and timing based on local conditions.
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.
