Materials Available for Delivery
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.
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.
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.
#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.
Driveway Gravel
A ¾”-1” clean, crushed stone ideal for rejuvenating worn down gravel driveways, or for installing a fresh new driveway on your property. Aesthetically pleasing and functional!

Why Frontenac Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Frontenac has a city population of 35 and is part of a broader metro area of 2.3+ million residents. That small local population combined with a modest growth rate of 0.40% annually means construction demand tends to be steady and incremental—more renovation, maintenance, and targeted new builds than large-scale booms. With 228 sunny days per year and annual rainfall of 33.90 inches in a hardiness zone of 8b, homeowners here need materials that balance good drainage with heat and sun exposure resilience. For example, stable base materials and well-graded soils help manage runoff during heavier rains, while mulches and organic topsoils support plants that thrive in a longer growing season. Across typical projects—driveways, patios, garden beds, and grading—quality bulk supplies like gravel, sand, dirt, mulch, and stone matter because they directly affect longevity, drainage, and landscape health in Frontenac’s climate.Popular Projects in Frontenac This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Frontenac Gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in Frontenac.
In Frontenac, projects commonly use a range of bulk materials such as gravel, sand, dirt, stone for base layers, top dressing, and drainage features. Choice depends on the project: stable, well-graded mixes for driveways and crushed stone or sand for drainage, and finer materials or dirt for planting beds. Regional sourcing means color and texture may vary from photos, so ask for local descriptions or samples before ordering.
Choose materials based on function: load-bearing surfaces need compactable, angular aggregates while planting and topsoil areas need finer, organic-rich dirt. Consider appearance, drainage needs, and maintenance when selecting materials, and use Hello Gravel's material quiz or contact our team for guidance. Always factor in local climate, slope, and intended use to pick the most durable option.
Frontenac's seasonal freeze-thaw cycles can cause movement, settling, and frost heave in poorly drained or loosely compacted materials. Use well-draining mixes, proper compaction, and a stable base to reduce movement, and avoid lightweight, uncompacted fills in frost-prone areas. For slopes, combine good drainage with erosion control measures to protect materials over time.
Permits and HOA rules vary by neighborhood and St. Louis County jurisdiction, so check with the City of Frontenac, St. Louis County, and your HOA before starting work. Common issues include driveway width, curb cuts, surface type, and stormwater rules. If in doubt, contact local building or zoning offices and ask your HOA for design guidelines before ordering materials.
Spring through early fall is generally the easiest time for deliveries and installation in Frontenac because ground is accessible and weather is milder. Avoid scheduling major earthwork during heavy freeze-thaw periods or when the ground is saturated after heavy rain. If you need winter delivery, plan for potential delays and discuss handling with your supplier and contractor.
Hello Gravel works with local suppliers and typically uses dump trucks (often tri-axle) for site deliveries; minimum orders are commonly around 3 tons. Standard delivery is usually 2+ business days, with next-day options for orders placed before noon CST for an extra fee. Provide clear drop-off instructions, check access and overhead obstacles, and request tailgate spreading at checkout if desired; drivers perform spreading at their discretion.
Measure the length, width, and depth of the area in feet, convert to cubic yards (length x width x depth in feet divided by 27), and then use Hello Gravel's material calculator or ask our team to convert to tons for your chosen material. Remember to account for compaction and slope by adding 5-15% extra material, and confirm recommended depths for base and surface layers with your contractor. If you prefer, send project dimensions to our team for a quick estimate.
For hilly yards, prioritize well-graded, free-draining mixes and proper grading to move water away from structures. Combine drainage materials with geotextile fabric, retaining features, or terracing to control erosion and stabilize slopes. Planting vegetation and using layered materials that promote infiltration will also reduce runoff and long-term erosion risk.
Maintenance and lifecycle costs vary: some materials need periodic top-ups and regrading, while properly compacted base layers can last many years with minimal upkeep. Consider initial installation cost, how often you will need to replenish or repair the surface, and winter maintenance needs such as snow removal. For a clear comparison, get contractor estimates that include installation quality and expected maintenance intervals for each material type.
Many local contractors provide installation, grading, and compaction services in addition to material delivery, but services and pricing vary by company and project scope. Ask your supplier or Hello Gravel for recommended local contractors and request written quotes that list labor, equipment, and compaction requirements. For budgets, get multiple bids and confirm that contractors understand the specific materials you plan to use.
Due to regional sourcing, color, texture, and consistency can vary; if a delivery differs from expectations contact Hello Gravel customer service promptly and provide photos and order details. For order changes, contact us as soon as possible—changes are easier before dispatch but may not always be possible once a truck is en route. We will work to resolve issues and can refer you to local suppliers or steps in our policies for next actions.
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.
