3/8″ Crushed Stone
(#89 Stone) A smaller crushed stone perfect for walkways and more decorative applications. Pathways will come to life with garden-like aesthetics and be comfortable under foot. Also suitable for various groundcover applications, as an underlayment for patio paver and turf projects, for playground surfacing and for filling gaps between larger stones.
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.
Black Shredded Mulch
Rich black shredded hardwood mulch made from oak, hickory, and maple. Holds in moisture, blocks weeds, and gives your garden beds a bold look that makes green plants and colorful flowers stand out.

Why Elwood Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Elwood is a community-sized market with a city population of 10,000 that is showing steady, manageable growth at about 0.40% annually. That modest expansion means construction and landscaping demand tends to be steady rather than boom-driven: homeowners are upgrading yards, refreshing driveways, and completing incremental projects rather than large-scale infill. At the same time, the broader metro population of 2.3+ million supports a healthy supply chain of local suppliers and haulers. With an average of 228 sunny days and 33.50 inches of annual rainfall in a USDA hardiness zone of 8b, material choices must balance drainage, durability, and aesthetics. For homeowners that means choosing bulk materials—gravel, sand, topsoil, mulch, and crushed stone—based on function (drainage, load-bearing, planting beds) and appearance, while accounting for regional color and texture variations common with locally sourced aggregates. Local climate and soil behavior shape how materials perform over time: repeated wet–dry cycles and strong sun exposure affect settling, compaction, and surface color, while local soil types influence how much base material is needed for proper grading and plant health. For homeowners, this means planning orders with attention to drainage, compaction needs, and seasonal timing rather than picking a product on appearance alone. Hello Gravel helps by connecting you with local suppliers familiar with these conditions, offering quantity calculators and delivery scheduling so you can pick the right combination of materials and timing for Elwood projects without guesswork.Popular Projects in Elwood This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Elwood Gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in Elwood.
For driveways and landscaping in Elwood homeowners and contractors commonly use a mix of gravel, sand, dirt, stone for base layers, drainage, and finishing surfaces. Choose materials based on needed drainage, load-bearing capacity, and appearance rather than name alone. If you are unsure, use our aggregate quiz or contact our sales team for guidance on which combination works best for your project.
Freeze-thaw cycles in the Elwood area can cause settling and frost heave if materials are not installed with proper drainage and compaction. Plan for a deeper, well-compacted base and consider geotextile fabric or improved drainage to reduce movement. Regular maintenance in spring and fall—raking, topping off low spots, and checking drains—helps prolong performance.
Our platform requires a minimum order of 3 tons, and many local suppliers deliver within these minimums. Standard delivery is usually 2+ business days, and next-day delivery is an option for orders placed before noon CST for an additional fee. Delivery fees and free-delivery promotions vary by supplier and distance, so check your ZIP code on our site for exact details.
Start by matching material function to the project: prioritize load-bearing and drainage for driveways, a stable base for patios, and nutrient-rich top material for garden beds. Consider local conditions like wet soils and freeze-thaw cycles, plus the finished look you want. Use our material calculator and speak with our team to compare options that meet both performance and budget needs.
A quick rule is to multiply area (in square feet) by depth (in feet) and divide by 27 to get cubic yards. Typical examples: a small 10'×10' patio base at 3" deep needs about 1 cubic yard; a single-car driveway 12'×40' at 4" deep is about 6 cubic yards; a two-car driveway 20'×40' at 4" deep is about 10 cubic yards. Add about 10% for waste and compaction, and contact us if you want us to calculate your exact needs.
Contractors expect a clean, well-graded material delivered to the site and a properly prepared subgrade before spreading. Typical requirements include compacting in lifts with a plate compactor or roller, controlling moisture for compaction, and using geotextile fabric where needed for stability. Always confirm material gradation and delivery notes with your contractor before ordering to match their specs.
Confirm that the delivery truck can reach your drop location—consider driveway width, overhead wires, turning radius, and street parking regulations. Protect lawns, pavers, and finished surfaces by providing a stable drop zone or requesting the driver leave material at the nearest safe point. You can request tailgate spreading at checkout, but drivers will decide on arrival whether it is safe to perform.
Spring through early fall is the most predictable season for deliveries and installations in Elwood, avoiding the wettest and coldest months that cause delays or poor compaction. Summer is busiest, so schedule in advance; late spring and early fall often balance good weather with better availability. Always check the short-term forecast before your delivery and allow extra time during freeze-thaw periods.
Permit and HOA requirements vary by project and neighborhood in Elwood, so check with the Town of Huntington building department and your HOA before ordering. Driveway changes, significant grading, and some drainage or runoff work often require permits or approvals. Hello Gravel coordinates delivery but does not obtain permits, so secure any required approvals before scheduling.
Materials in Elwood reflect regional sourcing, so texture, color, and price can vary compared with neighboring towns based on local geology and haul distance. Pricing depends on the material type, availability, truck access, and delivery distance; getting an instant quote on our site is the fastest way to see local rates. If cost is a concern, compare material types and delivery windows, and contact our team for help finding the best local option.
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.
