Why Hollister Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Hollister's population of 58,770 and its placement within a broader metro of 7.9+ million mean steady, predictable demand for residential and small commercial projects. A growth rate of 0.40% annually suggests incremental development rather than a building boom, so many projects are renovations, infill, and outdoor upgrades rather than large-scale new subdivisions. Local climate—204 sunny days per year and 49.77 inches of annual rainfall, in USDA hardiness zone 9a—creates a dual challenge: materials must handle both heavy seasonal moisture and extended sun exposure. That influences choices across the board, including aggregates, soils, mulches, and sand, because durability, drainage performance, and UV stability all affect longevity. For Hollister homeowners, sourcing quality bulk materials matters: the right products reduce maintenance, limit erosion, and support durable outdoor spaces and foundations.Popular Projects in Hollister This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Hollister Gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in Hollister.
In Hollister, common choices include gravel, sand, dirt, and stone for driveways, walkways, and landscaping. Homeowners often pick materials based on load, drainage, appearance, and maintenance needs: low-maintenance, permeable options for yards and more compactable mixes for driveways. Contractors will factor compaction and base depth when recommending a product.
Hollister’s climate favors materials that resist sun fading and won’t break down under heat while still handling winter rain. Permeable aggregates and proper drainage help prevent erosion during occasional storms, and lighter-colored materials can reduce heat absorption. Regular maintenance like regrading or topping up loose materials is common after seasonal weather.
Local soils and slope affect compaction, runoff, and stability; clay soils hold water and may need better drainage, while sandy soils drain well but shift more. For sloped sites, choose angular, interlocking aggregates and consider geotextile, terraces, or edging to control movement. An on-site assessment helps identify prep work like grading or underlayment that improves long-term performance.
Late spring through early fall (roughly May through October) is often best to avoid winter rains and reduce weather delays. Because winters are mild, many projects can be done year-round, but avoid the hottest days for work that relies on compaction or adhesives. Plan ahead for permit timelines and contractor availability during peak seasons.
Hello Gravel requires a minimum order of 3 tons and offers standard delivery in 2+ business days, with next-day delivery available for orders placed before noon CST for an extra fee. Delivery fees vary by distance, site access, and truck type; many areas include free delivery as part of the quote. Request a quote to see exact pricing and available delivery windows for your address.
Dump trucks typically need a clear, level approach, sufficient turning room, and at least standard overhead clearance; tight driveways or narrow streets may require smaller trucks or a designated offload point. Obstructions such as low branches, parked cars, or steep grades can add fees or affect where material is dropped. Tailgate spreading is available at the driver’s discretion and should be requested at checkout.
Yes, local building departments and HOAs can have rules about driveway materials, impermeable surface limits, curb cuts, and visible finishes. Check with the City of Hollister and any HOA before ordering or installing materials to confirm permit requirements, setback rules, and approved material lists. Getting approvals early helps avoid rework and permit-related delays.
Measure the area you’re covering and decide on the desired finished depth, then use a material calculator or contact our team for help to convert area and depth into tons or cubic yards. Allow extra for compaction, waste, and uneven ground—ordering a buffer of 5–10% is common. If you’re unsure, request a quote and expert assistance to avoid underordering.
Proper base preparation, drainage, compaction, and edge restraints are critical for lasting results across materials. Installers should account for traffic load, depth of base, subgrade stabilization, and use of geotextiles where needed. Discuss project-specific specs with your contractor and confirm any special delivery or staging needs before the truck arrives.
Many local customers choose options that reduce water use and runoff, such as permeable aggregates, mulch alternatives, and locally sourced materials that reflect the region’s geology. Drought-tolerant landscaping combined with efficient irrigation or no-irrigation designs helps meet California water goals. Ask suppliers about recycled or reclaimed materials if sustainability is a priority.
Because Hello Gravel sources regionally, coloration and texture can vary based on local geology, so photos are representative rather than exact. You can add color or texture preferences in the Order Notes, and we recommend ordering a small test load if the exact look is important. Contact customer service with concerns and they can often provide local supplier information or samples.
Contact Hello Gravel as soon as possible—changes are easiest before the order is processed or dispatched and we will do our best to accommodate requests. If there is an issue at delivery, document it and contact customer service so we can work toward a satisfactory resolution. Review our refund policy for details on eligible scenarios.
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.
