Materials Available for Delivery
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.
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.
Drain Rock
A larger 1 ½” crushed gravel that allows for water flow and drainage, preventing accumulation and pooling when properly installed. Perfect for french drains and other drainage applications, around utility lines, septic systems, sump pump basins and drainage pits.
Topsoil
High-grade soil enriched with organic matter. Perfect for landscaping, lawn establishment and repair, and for improving existing soil.
Fulfillment:
Should never be fulfilled with material that does not include an organic component, though organic components should be small.
2-10% organic is ideal

Rip Rap (Erosion Control Rock) for Shoreline or other projects. Fast local delivery.
Brown Shredded Mulch
Shredded bark and wood from trees like oak, hickory, and maple, used for landscaping and gardening applications.

Why Portage Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Portage has a population of 12,180, and steady growth of 1.20% annually points to consistent, ongoing demand for home improvement and small-scale construction rather than sudden, large projects. That steady expansion usually fuels regular needs—driveway repairs, yard upgrades, foundation grading, and new landscaping—so homeowners should plan for periodic deliveries of bulk materials instead of one-time large purchases. Portage’s climate, with 228 sunny days per year and 34.25 inches of annual rainfall in hardiness zone 8b, supports a long outdoor working season but demands materials that balance drainage and durability. In this environment, aggregates, soils, and mulches need to resist erosion during wet spells and withstand prolonged sun exposure. Quality local bulk supplies—gravel, sand, dirt, mulch, and stone—help homeowners build longer-lasting paths, plant beds, and drainage solutions that match the city’s weather and growth patterns.Popular Projects in Portage This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Portage Gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in Portage.
Choose materials that drain well and compact for stability in Portage's freeze-thaw climate. Regional materials like locally sourced gravel, sand, dirt, and stone come in different textures; angular, well-graded mixes tend to lock together and resist displacement, while coarser materials improve drainage. Consider the project's use (walking, parking, vehicle traffic) and ask our team for guidance based on local suppliers.
Prioritize permeability and proper gradation: mixes that include a range of sizes shed water while still compacting for stability. For slopes or erosion-prone areas, use heavier, larger pieces near the toe and finer materials upslope to reduce washout. Combining good grading with simple site fixes like diversion swales or geotextile underlayment improves long-term performance.
We support a wide range of projects including driveways, parking pads, base material for patios or pavers, landscape beds, topsoil and fill for grading, and backfill around foundations. Our deliveries also work for small contractor jobs, erosion control, and snow storage areas. You can order online, pick a delivery date, and add notes about placement or access.
Use a simple volume method: area in square feet times depth in inches times 0.033 gives cubic yards, and 1 cubic yard typically equals about 1.2 to 1.6 tons depending on material. Hello Gravel's material calculator on the site can convert area and depth into tons and cubic yards for common projects. Always order a little extra for compaction, grading waste, and settling.
The best window is late spring through early fall when the ground is thawed and drier, allowing for proper compaction and grading. Avoid major earthwork during deep freeze or when soils are saturated in early spring, as freeze-thaw cycles and mud make consistent results harder to achieve. If you must work in shoulder seasons, plan for extra time and possible rework.
Materials are regionally sourced, so availability and price reflect local geology and seasonal supply. Common aggregates are usually available in West Wisconsin, but rare or specialty mixes can cost more and take longer to deliver. Distance from the supplier, demand, and seasonality (spring construction rush or winter access) all influence final cost and lead time.
Hello Gravel requires a minimum order of 3 tons and typically delivers by tri-axle dump truck. Standard delivery is scheduled for 2+ business days, with a next-day option for orders placed before noon CST for an additional fee. Drivers will place material from the truck; tailgate spreading may be possible by request but is at the driver's discretion and not guaranteed.
Some local suppliers or independent contractors offer placement and spreading as an add-on, but Hello Gravel deliveries are generally drop-off by dump truck. You can request tailgate spreading at checkout and the driver will assess safety and access on arrival; this service is not guaranteed. For guaranteed placement or fine grading, arrange a contractor or separate placement service and include that in your budget.
Consider local soil type, slope, drainage patterns, and winter snowfall when picking a material. Heavy clay or poorly drained spots may need more permeable base material and better drainage, while areas that get plowed need materials that resist rutting and displacement. Also check for underground utilities, wetlands, and any site-specific frost heave risk before ordering.
Check with the City of Portage and Columbia County building or public works departments for rules on driveway changes, curb cuts, stormwater, and importing fill. Local ordinances, neighborhood covenants, or state wetland rules can affect what you can place and where. If in doubt, contact local authorities before ordering to avoid rework or fines.
Start by calculating the quantity you need in tons using area and depth, then get a material quote and add delivery and any placement or spreading costs. Delivery fees vary by distance and job size, and many orders in our network include free delivery depending on supplier relationships. Use Hello Gravel's online quote tool or call our team to get an itemized estimate before you commit.
Pros balance an adequate structural base, good drainage, and material toughness: invest in a stable base and proper grading to reduce long-term maintenance rather than skimp on material. For high-traffic areas they favor mixes that compact well and resist displacement, while landscaped areas may prioritize appearance and plant health. Discuss anticipated use and maintenance expectations with suppliers or contractors so you get a solution that fits your budget and performance needs.
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.

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.
