Why Aptos Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Aptos is home to 21,808 residents and sits within a broader metro region of 7.9+ million people. With a steady growth rate of 0.40% annually, local construction and landscaping demand tends to be consistent rather than boom-driven — homeowners and small contractors planning upgrades, repairs, and incremental new builds can expect predictable needs for materials over time. The combination of 204 sunny days per year and 49.77 inches of annual rainfall, along with a USDA hardiness zone of 9a, creates a climate that requires versatile supplies: materials must handle strong sun exposure and periods of heavy moisture. For homeowners that means sourcing durable aggregates, water-retentive soils, quality mulches, and erosion-control products that support plant establishment and protect slopes and hardscapes. Regional sourcing matters here: locally produced materials reflect the geology and perform more predictably in local soils and weather than out-of-area mixes.Popular Projects in Aptos This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Aptos Gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in Aptos.
Costs vary by material, load size, and distance, but a single dump truck load in the Aptos area is commonly in the low hundreds to several hundred dollars range. Delivery fees, minimum order sizes (we require 3 tons), and any special handling or short-notice requests can raise the price. For an exact estimate, check your zip code and get a quote so you know the total delivered price before you order.
For most yard projects you will want a wheelbarrow, shovel, rake, gloves, and a tamper or plate compactor for stone or gravel areas. Landscape fabric and edging help separate materials and keep clean lines, and a garden hose or sprinkler is handy for settling and washing down fines. If you plan to spread material, consider renting extra equipment or requesting tailgate spreading at checkout, understanding drivers perform it at their discretion.
Buying in bulk is usually cheaper per ton or cubic yard than buying many bags because you cut out packaging and handling costs. Factor in delivery, storage space, and any spreading or compaction labor when comparing prices. For most medium and large projects in Aptos, bulk ordering is more cost-effective if you can use the material before it degrades or becomes contaminated.
The least expensive option is often to reuse the material on-site for grading, fill, or berms so you avoid hauling and disposal fees. If reuse is not possible, donating or offering excess material to neighbors or local community projects can reduce costs. When you must haul it away, compare local landfill and transfer station fees and check if a bulk delivery service can take back small amounts at lower rates.
There is no universal "3-hour" rule for all materials; waiting depends on the task and material. For spreading and compacting, allow crews to place and compact material right away; for planting, let soil settle for a day or two after delivery and grading, and water lightly before planting to check compaction. If you are seeding, follow seed-specific guidance—some seeds need surface contact and immediate watering, while others benefit from a short settling period.
Lower-cost options tend to be basic aggregates and organic mulches sourced locally, like common gravel, sand, and chipped mulch, because they are abundant and easy to deliver. True cost depends on availability, delivery distance, and longevity—cheaper materials up front can require more maintenance later. Consider long-term needs like drainage, weed control, and durability when choosing the least expensive overall solution.
With $1,000 you can typically cover material for several modest improvements, such as a 100–300 sq ft gravel pathway, mulch for a few garden beds, or enough fill to raise low spots and improve drainage. Exact coverage varies by material type and depth, so use a material calculator or ask our team for a project estimate. Combining DIY labor with bulk materials stretches your budget further than buying bagged products.
Choose coarser, free-draining materials for drainage features and erosion control where water needs to move through quickly, and finer, more compactable materials where you need stability or a smooth walking surface. Consider slope, existing soil, plantings, and local rainy-season runoff when selecting materials. If you are unsure, get a quick recommendation from our team—provide project type, dimensions, and photos to help match material performance to your goals.
Standard delivery typically takes 2+ business days, with next-day delivery available for orders placed before noon CST for an additional fee; check availability for your zip code. Deliveries are made by contracted dump truck fleets (usually tri-axle trucks), so you should confirm access, overhead clearance, and preferred drop location when ordering. Drivers may be able to perform tailgate spreading at their discretion, but this is not guaranteed, and regional sourcing means color and texture may vary from photos.
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.
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.

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. However, we do charge a markup and because of this you may be able to find the materials cheaper on your own. But if you want a hassle free experience, then we are for you!
