Why Lake California Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Lake California is a small but growing community of 3,503 people located in Central-Alameda, California. With a regional metro area exceeding 2.3+ million and a steady Growth Rate of 2.50% annually, demand for residential and light commercial work is consistent — homeowners are updating yards, adding hardscape features, and contractors are responding with new driveways and drainage projects. The local climate (Hardiness Zone 8b, 228 sunny days annually, and Annual Rainfall of 33.20 inches) encourages outdoor living but also creates specific material needs: durable base materials for patios and driveways, well-graded aggregates for drainage and erosion control, and screened soils or mulches that support drought-tolerant plantings. In this market, quality bulk supplies — gravel, sand, dirt, mulch, and stone — matter because they determine longevity, drainage performance, and maintenance requirements for the types of projects Lake California homeowners are prioritizing.Popular Projects in Lake California This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Lake California Gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in Lake California.
Start with the job: think about drainage, load-bearing needs, appearance, and maintenance. For general guidance, consider the group gravel, sand, dirt, stone together and pick materials that match the use (e.g., drainage vs. walkways vs. fill). Regional sourcing means color and texture vary in Lake California, so ask for local photos or samples and use our material quiz or sales team for recommendations.
Materials are sold by volume (cubic yards) or by weight (tons); most homeowners plan in cubic yards because it matches the space you need to fill. One cubic yard equals 27 cubic feet, and weight varies by material — roughly 1.0 to 1.5 tons per cubic yard for many aggregates. Use our online calculator or ask our team when weight matters for delivery or compaction.
A 7 ft by 14 ft bed at 2 inches deep equals about 0.6 cubic yards (98 sq ft x 0.1667 ft = ~16.3 cu ft, divided by 27). It is wise to order 10-15% extra for settling and waste, but remember our minimums may make small bulk orders less practical. If you need less than a cubic yard, consider bagged material or combine orders with a neighbor.
Bulk delivery is usually cheaper per cubic yard for larger projects, but our minimum order and truck size can make bagged material a better fit for small jobs. For areas under one cubic yard or where access is tight, bags may be easier to handle and store. Run the math by converting the project volume to bags (see bag conversion) and compare total price including delivery and handling.
A standard pickup may carry roughly 1 to 2 cubic yards depending on bed size and legal load limits, so very small loads can be transported that way. Hello Gravel typically delivers with dump trucks (most commonly tri-axle) and a single truckload is often around 10 to 14 cubic yards depending on the truck and material. Check access and unloading space before ordering and ask us for truck size options if you need a smaller drop.
A 40-lb bag commonly holds about 1.5 to 2 cubic feet, so one cubic yard (27 cubic feet) is approximately 14 to 18 bags. For medium to large projects bulk delivery is usually less expensive per cubic yard, but factor in minimum orders, delivery fees, and how you will handle spreading. Compare the total cost and convenience when deciding between bags and bulk.
Standard delivery typically takes 2+ business days, with a next-day option available for orders placed before noon CST for an additional fee. Delivery cost depends on material type, amount, and distance from the local supplier, so price shows at checkout or you can request a quote. We work with local haulers, so shipping windows and pricing reflect local conditions and availability.
Drivers may be able to provide tailgate spreading at their discretion; you can request it at checkout but the driver will assess safety and feasibility on arrival. This service is not guaranteed, and for full installation or grading you should hire a local landscaper or contractor. We can help connect you with pros in the area if you need installation assistance.
Adding new material over existing material is common, but effectiveness depends on the condition of the old layer and your long-term goals; sometimes removal or a thin renovation is better. Removal services are not guaranteed through every delivery and are often handled by local contractors or suppliers, so contact our team for referrals and to discuss options before scheduling. If you do add material, plan for the extra volume from covering an uneven surface.
Yes — spring and fall are usually the busiest seasons for landscaping materials, so order early to secure delivery slots and preferred materials. Wet or cold weather can affect hauling, delivery placement, and material performance, so plan around local weather forecasts. Check for seasonal pricing or promotions, and contact our team for timing advice specific to Lake California.
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.
