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.
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.
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.
Brown Shredded Mulch
Shredded bark and wood from trees like oak, hickory, and maple, used for landscaping and gardening applications. Provides moisture retention in your soil, weed suppression, temperature regulation for plants, and the gradual addition of organic matter as it decomposes slowly over time. Adds a beautiful, finished look to your home’s exterior.

Why Thompson Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Thompson is a small but steadily evolving community with a city population of 670 and ties to a broader metro area of 2.5+ million. A growth rate of 0.40% annually suggests measured, sustainable development rather than boom conditions — that means steady, predictable demand for maintenance, repair, and incremental construction projects like driveway upkeep, patio additions, and foundation grading. Thompson’s climate—about 228 sunny days per year and 34.25 inches of annual rainfall in a hardiness zone of 8b—creates an environment where good drainage, erosion control, and seasonally resilient landscaping matter. Homeowners here benefit from a range of bulk materials: topsoil and mulches support extended planting seasons, angular aggregates stabilize paths and driveways under occasional wet spells, and sand and stone mixes improve drainage in areas prone to runoff. In short, local conditions favor versatile, quality materials that address both year-round planting and occasional moisture-management needs.Popular Projects in Thompson This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Thompson Gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in Thompson.
Delivery cost varies by material, distance from the supplier, truck type, and order size. Hello Gravel has a minimum order of 3 tons and works with local suppliers to provide transparent quotes; contact us or use the online checkout to get a city-specific estimate for materials such as gravel, sand, dirt, stone. Additional fees may apply for next-day delivery, tight access, or offloading services.
Hello Gravel connects you with trusted local suppliers and contracted haulers who serve Thompson and nearby West Iowa communities. We do not list individual carriers on the city page; instead, enter your zip code or request a quote and we will match you with suppliers that can deliver to your address and confirm their delivery policies and service radius.
Freeze-thaw cycles, spring thaw, and summer storms in West Iowa affect compaction, drainage, and long-term stability. For sloped or drainage-sensitive areas choose coarser, well-draining mixes and design drainage paths; for areas exposed to frost consider materials and installation practices that reduce settling and frost heave. If you are unsure, our team can recommend options based on local conditions.
Late spring through early fall is usually easiest for deliveries and installation to avoid frozen ground and muddy conditions from spring thaw. Winter deliveries are possible but can be more difficult and sometimes incur extra charges, while early spring may be affected by local road weight restrictions. Schedule as early as possible and check our checkout calendar for available dates.
You should check local city or county rules before starting major driveway or grading work, especially for curb cuts, new drainage connections, or work affecting a public right-of-way. Also verify any HOA rules, culvert or county road permits, and driveway weight restrictions. If you need guidance, call our team and we can point you toward common local considerations.
Measure the length and width of the area in feet and multiply by the depth in feet to find cubic feet, then divide by 27 to convert to cubic yards (area x depth / 27). For example, a 12 ft by 20 ft driveway at 4 inches (0.33 ft) deep is about 3 cubic yards. Use our material calculator or contact our team for help converting cubic yards to tons and choosing an appropriate depth for your project.
For rural deliveries expect longer driveways, narrower lanes, low-hanging wires, and potential field turns; in-town sites often have tighter curb and parking constraints. Mark the desired drop zone clearly, remove obstacles, and let us know about low overhead or narrow access before scheduling. Truck drivers will assess final placement on arrival; if you need tailgate spreading request it at checkout but understand it is at the driver's discretion.
Materials that are coarser and more angular typically shed water faster and resist erosion better on slopes, while finer materials retain moisture and can wash out more easily. Combining appropriately graded material with good slope shaping, vegetation, or erosion control fabrics improves performance. For ditch stabilization or drainage trenches, select a material and installation method suited to the slope and expected flow rate.
Hello Gravel has a standard minimum order of 3 tons; seasonal restrictions such as spring road weight limits or winter access issues can affect delivery options and pricing. Some areas offer free or reduced delivery at certain times, while expedited or next-day service usually carries an extra fee. The best way to see any specials or restrictions for your address is to enter your zip code or contact our team for a quote.
Common issues include settling, washouts, and frost heave which often result from inadequate compaction, poor base preparation, or insufficient drainage. Avoid problems by preparing a stable base, using proper material depth, ensuring positive drainage away from structures, and compacting materials as recommended. If you want, our team can advise on material selection and installation tips tailored to your project and local conditions.
Drivers may be able to perform tailgate spreading at their discretion; you should request this service at checkout and understand there are no guarantees. Plan a clear, accessible drop zone and communicate any site limitations ahead of time so the driver can assess safety and feasibility upon arrival. If spreading is not possible, the driver will place material in a single or multiple piles for you or a contractor to finish.
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.

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!
