Materials Available for Delivery
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.
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.
#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.
Fill Dirt
Versatile, lower-grade soil commonly used for volume and elevation changes in various construction and landscaping projects. Great for leveling or grading ground, backfilling pools and filling ditches, and evening out low points or depressions on your property.
Mason Sand
A fine, clean sand for construction and masonry. Use it under pavers or turf, mix it into mortar or soil, or spread it across your lawn to smooth out bumps and low spots in your lawn.
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.

Why Riceville Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Riceville’s population of 1,610 and its place within a broader metro area of 2.5+ million suggest a small, connected community where steady residential upkeep and selective new builds drive material demand. A growth rate of 0.40% annually points to measured, sustained expansion rather than a rapid boom; that translates into ongoing needs for home-level projects—driveway repairs, yard grading, garden beds, and small additions—rather than large subdivisions. Local climate and geography shape material choices: about 228/year sunny days and 34.25 inches of annual rainfall create alternating dry and wet cycles that make drainage, erosion control, and soil quality primary concerns. A hardiness zone of 8b means milder winters and longer growing seasons, which affects topsoil, mulch, and planting mixes. For homeowners, reliable, locally sourced bulk materials—gravel, sand, dirt, mulch, and blended aggregates—help projects finish faster, perform better in local conditions, and reduce the chance of costly rework.Popular Projects in Riceville This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Riceville Gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in Riceville.
Choose materials based on use, look, and drainage needs. For long-lasting surfaces pick materials that compact well and shed water, while for decorative beds choose materials that match your preferred color and texture. Consider the local climate and soil when deciding between options like gravel, sand, dirt, stone. If unsure, use our material quiz or contact our team for guidance.
Riceville experiences seasonal freeze-thaw cycles, so pick materials and installation methods that allow for good drainage and movement. Materials that lock together or are placed over a stable base reduce frost heave and shifting. Factor in winter salt and spring runoff when selecting material and edge restraints for beds, paths, and driveways.
Spring through early fall is the easiest time for delivery and installation because ground and access are typically clear. Winter deliveries are possible but can be delayed by weather and may require extra site prep to avoid tracking or damage. Order early for peak season weekends and request next-day delivery before noon CST if you need faster timing.
Hello Gravel typically requires a 3-ton minimum per order and offers standard delivery in 2+ business days with a next-day option for orders placed before noon CST. Deliveries come by dump truck; drivers may offer tailgate spreading at their discretion but it is not guaranteed. We work with local haulers in the West Iowa area to provide scheduled delivery windows and clear communication.
Soil in the Riceville region can range from loam to clay and may hold water in low spots, so good base preparation and drainage are important for all projects. On slopes or uneven terrain you may need retaining features and materials that resist erosion. Test a small area or consult a local contractor if you suspect poor soil or drainage issues before ordering large quantities.
Many local suppliers and contractors can coordinate installation along with material supply, but offerings vary by supplier and contractor. Hello Gravel connects you with local haulers and suppliers, and you can request installation or referrals when available. Confirm scope, timing, and pricing directly with the contractor before scheduling delivery.
Measure the area (length, width, and desired depth), convert depth to feet, and use a material calculator to convert cubic feet to tons. Our website includes a calculator and guidance for common projects like driveways, patios, and garden beds. When in doubt, add a small overage (5-10%) to account for compaction, grading, and waste.
Small towns like Riceville may have local ordinances, setback requirements, or HOA rules that affect driveways, fences, and visible landscaping materials. Check with the city or your HOA before purchasing and scheduling delivery to avoid rework. If you need help, contact our team and we can point you toward local resources.
Homeowners often order modest quantities for landscaping and small driveway projects and prefer clear pricing and scheduled delivery dates. Contractors generally order larger volumes, may schedule repeat deliveries, and value reliable lead times and local sourcing. Both groups appreciate regional materials that reflect local geology and timely communication about delivery windows.
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.
Hassle Free! Our goal is to make the buying process for gravel and other aggregates as easy and seamless as possible. Enter your zip code on our site, select how much material you need (see below FAQ’s to determine order size), select the date and time frame you would like your material delivered at Checkout, and place your order with any major credit card. After the order is placed our in-house support team will contact you to confirm the details. We will send additional confirmations on the day before and the day of delivery. On delivery day, a dump truck will arrive to dump the materials at your specified location. We request that you have someone available to accept the delivery so that we can make sure to dump it in the correct location. That’s it!
No, because we are a national supplier, we utilize our existing network of suppliers across the country. Therefore, the materials will likely be delivered from a contracted trucking company.
We specialize in making the aggregate buying process as easy and seamless as possible by managing the process from end to end. We have a network of suppliers that we source the materials from where we have negotiated rates.
