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.
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.
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.
Decomposed Granite
Known for its natural look, this compact, durable material drains well and holds up in high-traffic areas. Made from crushed and weathered granite down to a mix of fine gravel and sand—best for patios, paths, driveways, and landscape projects. Can range in color from light brown and tan to reddish and gray, depending on the natural stone color in the region.
1 1/2″ Crushed Gravel
Larger 1 ½” gravel perfect for french drains, drainage ditches, catch basins, and erosion control. Also used in base layers for road projects in areas with poor soil conditions, as backfill material, and for ground cover applications where smaller stones may wash away.

Why Saint Charles Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Saint Charles is a stable, growing community of 129,586 residents sitting within a larger metro of 2.6+ million people. With a steady growth rate of 0.40% annually, construction and landscaping demand here is consistent rather than boom-driven — that means ongoing home improvement, infill development, and incremental yard upgrades are common. The local climate and geography—228 sunny days per year, 34.25 inches of annual rainfall, and a hardiness zone of 8b—push homeowners toward materials that manage both moisture and sun exposure. Practically, that translates into choices like permeable base layers for paths and driveways, durable topsoil and soil amendments for healthy plant establishment, and UV-stable mulches that reduce evaporation. Because projects range from small backyard refreshes to larger foundation and grading jobs, having access to bulk quantities of gravel, dirt, sand, mulch, and stone matters: it ensures consistent performance, reduces multiple delivery trips, and keeps timelines predictable for both DIYers and contractors.Popular Projects in Saint Charles This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Saint Charles Gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in Saint Charles.
Choose materials based on expected traffic, drainage needs, and local freeze-thaw conditions. For most homeowners, a compactable base with a well-draining surface works best; consider materials that lock together and shed water when possible. Because materials are regionally sourced, options like gravel, sand, dirt, stone will vary in texture and performance, so use our material calculator and consult our team if you need help matching strength and appearance.
In Saint Charles' climate plan for wet springs and winter freeze-thaw by using materials and construction that promote drainage and resist movement. Proper grading, a compacted base, edge restraints, and good surface drainage will reduce frost heave and pooling. Consider geotextile fabric on soft soils and choose aggregates with good permeability rather than fine, clay-rich fills.
Spring through early fall is usually the easiest time for installation because the ground is not frozen and weather delays are less likely. Deliveries are possible year-round, but ordering in late fall or winter can encounter frozen ground, higher demand, or limited haul access. Standard delivery generally requires 2+ business days, and next-day delivery is available for orders placed before noon CST for an extra fee.
Yes, our network includes local suppliers that deliver across Saint Charles and surrounding zip codes, but availability depends on the exact address and truck access. Deliveries are made by contracted dump trucks (typically tri-axle) and require a clear drop zone, adequate driveway access, and safe turning room. Check your zip code on our site, note any access constraints in Order Notes, and expect a minimum order of 3 tons.
Typical lead time for standard delivery is 2+ business days after ordering; next-day delivery is possible for orders placed before noon CST with an additional fee. Exact timing depends on supplier schedules, weather, and volume of local demand, so confirm your preferred date at checkout. We will notify you with delivery details once your order is scheduled.
Measure the area in feet, multiply length x width x depth (in feet), then divide by 27 to get cubic yards; multiply cubic yards by about 1.3 to estimate tons for most aggregates, but actual weight varies by material. Factor in extra material for compaction and slope (10-15% overage is common) and remember our minimum order is 3 tons. Use our online calculator or contact our team for a tailored estimate and quote.
On slopes use retaining features, terraces, or edge restraints and choose angular, interlocking materials that resist movement; add erosion control like mulch blankets, vegetation, or geotextile fabric where needed. For flood-prone lots prioritize materials that drain quickly and avoid fine, silty fills that retain water; check local floodplain regulations and consider professional grading and drainage solutions. We can help you select materials that improve stability while meeting local conditions.
Yes, many homeowners associations and municipalities have requirements for driveway materials, front-yard coverage, curb cuts, and stormwater management. Saint Charles may have specific rules about impervious surfaces, driveway widths, or permits for drive reconstruction, so check with your HOA and the city before ordering. If you need help, our team can remind you to verify local codes prior to purchase.
Material costs depend on the type of project, depth of materials needed, and distance from the supplier; driveways require more base material and compaction, patios need a stable base plus finish layer, and landscape beds need less depth but may require higher-quality finish material. Prices are quoted per ton or cubic yard and vary regionally, so request a local quote for an accurate comparison. We offer transparent pricing and can run examples for typical project sizes to help with budgeting.
Clear the drop area of vehicles, yard debris, and obstacles and mark the preferred dump location with flags or stakes so drivers can see it on arrival. Ensure overhead wires and low branches are out of the way and communicate any tight turns or access issues in Order Notes. If you need spreading, request tailgate spreading at checkout but know drivers will perform it at their discretion and it is not guaranteed.
Because materials are sourced locally, color, grain size, and texture reflect local geology and will vary from photos and samples. You can add color or texture preferences in Order Notes and our suppliers will try to accommodate them when possible, but exact matches are not guaranteed. If you have concerns after delivery contact customer service and refer to our policies for issue resolution.
As of today, we require 2 business days for delivery.

The material will be delivered via dump truck. If your order is under 20 tons, then it will likely be just one dump truck load. If your order is more than 20 tons, it will be more than one dump truck load.

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.
