Why Cairo Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Cairo is a small but active community with a population of 1,260, and its steady growth rate of 0.40% annually points to ongoing, incremental demand for home improvements and modest new construction rather than a building boom. That steady expansion means homeowners and local contractors are more often tackling renovation projects, driveway and yard upgrades, and small-scale site work — all of which rely on reliable bulk materials. With 228/year sunny days and 33.90 inches of rain annually in a hardiness zone of 8b, the climate supports a long working season but also calls for materials that handle both wet periods and extended sun exposure. In practice that means choosing aggregates, soils, and mulches that drain well, resist washout, and maintain stability under repeated moisture and drying cycles; selecting quality sand, gravel, dirt, and stone helps ensure driveways, grading, and landscape beds perform over time. Regional sourcing also matters: local geology shapes color, texture, and how materials compact or shed water.Popular Projects in Cairo This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Cairo Gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in Cairo.
Start with the project's purpose: weight-bearing surfaces need a stable base while planting areas need nutrient-rich material. Consider drainage, desired appearance, and maintenance—materials like gravel, sand, dirt, stone offer different drainage and compaction properties. Use our material calculator or contact our team for guidance based on your project size and local conditions.
For West Missouri's seasonal freeze-thaw and heavy rains, well-draining, angular aggregates generally perform better because they shed water and resist frost heave. Fine materials and loose dirt can hold water and may require extra preparation such as proper grading, base layers, or geotextile fabric. Regional sourcing means local mixes may vary, so ask about local performance when ordering.
Costs vary by material type, site access, and haul distance; a common ballpark range is roughly $25 to $75 per cubic yard or $15 to $60 per ton for many aggregate and landscaping materials. Hello Gravel has a minimum order of 3 tons and provides transparent quotes based on zip code, so request a quote for an accurate price for your address. Prices can change seasonally and by supplier, so get a written estimate before ordering.
Standard delivery requires 2+ business days, and next-day delivery is available for orders placed before noon CST for an extra fee. For weekend projects, order as early as possible—especially in busy spring and fall seasons—since supplier and truck availability can be limited. We recommend scheduling deliveries at least several days ahead to secure your preferred delivery day.
Many local suppliers deliver to rural and unincorporated areas, but deliveries can be subject to road width, gate clearance, low-hanging wires, and county weight limits. Deliveries are typically made by tri-axle dump trucks; if access is tight or roads are weight-restricted, we may need to coordinate alternate drop points or smaller trucks. Always describe access and any restrictions at checkout and contact our team with questions.
Measure the area in square feet and decide on the desired depth, then use the formula: area (ft2) x depth (in) / 324 = cubic yards. Convert cubic yards to tons using a rough factor (many aggregates fall between about 1.2 and 1.6 tons per cubic yard) or use Hello Gravel's online calculator for a quick estimate. Round up slightly to allow for compaction, grading, and waste, and contact our team for help with complex layouts.
Yes—clay soils and low-lying lots can hold water and increase the risk of erosion and frost heave, so improvements like regrading, adding a compacted granular base, installing French drains or catch basins, and using geotextile fabric are common. Raising grades or using a permeable top layer can also improve long-term performance. For significant drainage or structural concerns, consult a local contractor or engineer before ordering materials.
Local rules can vary: driveway replacements that change a roadside approach or affect a county right-of-way may require permits or culvert work approvals from the City of Cairo or Benton County. Large or heavy deliveries on rural roads could also be subject to local weight restrictions or require coordination with road authorities. Check with local permitting offices before work starts and let our team know if permits are required so we can coordinate delivery timing.
In general, well-graded, angular aggregates provide long-term stability and lower maintenance for driveways and base layers, while finer materials are better for leveling and planting but may need more upkeep. Materials that drain well reduce freeze-thaw damage and standing water issues, lowering long-term maintenance needs. Consider the end use: load-bearing areas prioritize strength, landscape beds prioritize soil quality, and drainage features prioritize permeability.
Natural materials vary by region, so color and texture may differ from photos; add notes at checkout if you have specific appearance preferences. For order changes, contact our team as soon as possible—modifications are easier before processing and dispatch, but not all changes can be guaranteed. If there are issues on delivery, contact customer service promptly so we can work to resolve them according to 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.
