Why Felton Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Felton has a population of 6,630, and its steady growth rate of 0.40% annually points to consistent, manageable construction and landscaping demand rather than a sudden development surge. Homeowners here are more likely to take on targeted projects—yard refreshes, drainage upgrades, pathway repairs, and small additions—than mass new builds. The local climate, with 204 sunny days per year and annual rainfall of 49.77 inches in USDA hardiness zone 9a, means materials must balance wet-season durability with long dry spells: think durable base materials for grading and drainage, well-graded fill for foundations, and organic mulches that retain moisture. These conditions make reliable, regionally sourced aggregates, soils, and mulches especially important to prevent erosion, manage runoff, and support plantings suited to a mild coastal-influenced climate. Local trends toward water-wise landscaping, slope stabilization, and low-maintenance hardscaping increase the need for clear guidance on quantities and material performance. Professional-grade delivery logistics and straightforward material calculators help homeowners avoid over- or under-ordering, while locally sourced materials reflect the geology and soil behavior unique to the area. For many projects, choosing the right mix of sand, gravel, dirt, and organic material is the difference between a long-lasting installation and one that needs frequent repairs.Popular Projects in Felton This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Felton Gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in Felton.
Choose a material based on drainage needs, traffic, slope and desired look rather than one single product. In Felton’s mild, wet winters, materials that drain well and compact into a stable surface are often preferred; combine a solid base with a top layer that matches your aesthetic. Talk with suppliers about local options—regional sourcing means texture and color will vary—and consider a reinforced base or edging on slopes for long-term stability.
Prioritize materials and construction methods that improve drainage and resist erosion, such as well-graded aggregates, layered base assemblies, and geotextile fabric where appropriate. Use steeper cross-slope or drainage swales to move water away, and consider retaining walls or terraces for steeper banks. Your supplier or contractor can recommend locally proven approaches that match Felton soils and rainfall patterns.
Measure the length, width and depth of the area to get cubic yards, then convert to tons using a common conversion range (many aggregates weigh about 1.2 to 1.5 tons per cubic yard depending on type). Use Hello Gravel’s material calculator or call our team to help; always add 5-10% extra for waste, compaction and grading. Remember our minimum order is 3 tons, so factor that into small projects.
Yes. Hello Gravel connects you with local suppliers and contracted trucking fleets that serve Felton and the surrounding West California area—enter your zip code at checkout to confirm availability. Deliveries are regionally sourced, so materials will reflect local geology and supply.
Standard delivery typically takes 2 or more business days with no extra fee, and next-day delivery is available for orders placed before noon CST for an additional fee. Materials arrive by dump truck (often tri-axle) and you can select your preferred delivery date at checkout. Tailgate spreading may be offered at the driver’s discretion but is not guaranteed.
Drivers may be able to perform tailgate spreading at their discretion; request it at checkout and the driver will assess safety and access on arrival. Because spreading depends on site conditions, truck size and local rules, we recommend planning for a small crew or equipment if precise placement or finished grading is required. For narrow or hard-to-reach sites, discuss delivery placement options with our team beforehand.
Plan major deliveries and installations for the drier spring and summer months when ground conditions are easier to work with and compaction is more effective. Felton has mild but wet winters, so avoid scheduling base construction or final surfacing right before or during rainy periods. For small or time-sensitive jobs, you can often deliver year-round—check weather forecasts and site drainage first.
Local building permits or HOA approvals depend on the scope of the work: simple material deliveries usually do not require permits, but new driveways, changes to drainage, retaining walls or significant grading may. Check with the City of Felton or Santa Cruz County building department and your HOA before starting work to confirm requirements. If you need help, our team can point you to local resources.
Compare materials on four main factors: upfront cost, expected lifespan under local conditions, routine maintenance needs and how well they handle drainage on sloped sites. Factor in installation complexity and local availability, since regional sourcing affects price and appearance. Use sample deliveries and our calculators to evaluate trade-offs, and call our team for guidance tailored to Felton projects.
Costs vary a lot depending on material type, site preparation, drainage work and whether you hire labor for installation; material-only costs for a small project can range from a few hundred to a few thousand dollars. Get a quote that includes delivery, base material, and any necessary hauling or spreading so you can compare apples to apples. For a precise estimate, upload project details on our site or contact our sales team for local supplier pricing.

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.
