#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.
Road Base

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 Rhodes Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Rhodes is a small community with a city population of 1,470 and sits within a larger metro area of 2.5+ million that is growing at about 1.20% annually. That steady growth usually produces predictable, ongoing demand for home improvement and light construction projects—driveways, patios, yard grading, garden installs, and property maintenance—rather than sudden booms. Rhodes’s climate and geography, with 228 sunny days per year, 34.25 inches of annual rainfall, and a hardiness zone of 8b, require materials that balance sun exposure with regular precipitation. Quality bulk materials—gravel, sand, dirt, mulch, and stone—play different roles: improving drainage, creating stable bases, preventing erosion, and supporting plant health. Because regional sourcing affects texture and color, picking appropriate aggregates helps projects perform well and blend with local aesthetics.Popular Projects in Rhodes This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Rhodes Gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in Rhodes.
Homeowners and contractors in Rhodes commonly request a mix of gravel, sand, dirt, and stone for driveway repairs, garden beds, grading, and drainage work. Demand shifts by season and project type, so suppliers in West Michigan tend to offer a range of sizes and blends to suit load-bearing, drainage, and aesthetic needs. If you are unsure which group suits your project, use our material calculator or contact our sales team for guidance.
Choose materials based on function: durability and compaction for driveways, fine grades for leveling patios, and permeable mixes for drainage. Consider local freeze-thaw conditions and whether you need a stable base versus a decorative surface. If you need help, our aggregate quiz and sales team can recommend options that balance performance, appearance, and budget.
Freeze-thaw cycles in Michigan can cause settling and frost heave if the wrong material or poor drainage is used. Select materials and installation methods that promote drainage, proper base compaction, and frost-resistant layering to reduce movement. Contractors often add a compacted base layer and ensure slopes direct water away from structures to minimize freeze-thaw damage.
Common residential projects in Rhodes include small raised beds (1-3 cubic yards), walkways and patios (3-8 cubic yards), and driveways or larger resurfacing jobs (6-30+ cubic yards depending on length). Because weight varies by material, a cubic yard can range in weight; use our online material calculator or request a quote with your dimensions to get an accurate ton and yard estimate. Our team can also help convert between cubic yards and tons for the specific material you choose.
Spring and early summer are the busiest seasons for landscaping, top dressing, and driveway repairs, which can increase lead times for delivery. Late fall sees demand for grading and winter prep, while winter months may have limited availability due to frozen ground and local restrictions. Plan ahead and book delivery dates early during peak seasons to secure materials.
Hello Gravel typically requires a 3-ton minimum order and delivers with dump trucks (often tri-axle). Standard delivery generally takes 2+ 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 drivers may offer tailgate spreading at their discretion but this is not guaranteed.
Delivery fees and zone availability depend on supplier location and distance from Rhodes; in many areas free delivery may be offered, but remote or longer-haul deliveries can carry additional charges. Enter your zip code on our site to see live pricing and any applicable delivery fees for your address. If you have a tight access point or special drop location, mention it in Order Notes so the hauler can prepare.
Small residential deliveries typically do not require a permit, but large projects, curb cuts, encroaching on public right-of-way, or heavy truck access on township roads may require local approval. Check with Crawford County and your township for road weight limits, right-of-way rules, or driveway permit requirements before scheduling a large delivery. If you are unsure, contact our team and we can advise on common local considerations.
Local contractors generally start with a well-draining subgrade, add a compacted base layer, and finish with the chosen surface material compacted to the appropriate density. Maintain a slight slope away from structures and install edge restraints for surfaces like patios and driveways to prevent spreading. For best results, use a mechanical plate compactor or roller and consult a pro for sites with poor soil or drainage issues.
Natural materials vary by region, so color and texture may differ from photos; this reflects local geology and supplier sourcing. Contact our customer service as soon as possible if you need to change an order—changes are easiest before processing or dispatch—and we will do our best to accommodate requests. For concerns after delivery, report issues promptly so we can work toward a satisfactory resolution 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.
