Red Shredded Mulch
Red shredded bark and wood from hardwoods like oak, hickory, and maple. Good for gardening and landscaping. Helps hold moisture, block weeds, and adds a bold, red pop to your outdoors.
1 1/2″ Crushed Gravel
Larger 1 ½” gravel perfect for french drains, drainage ditches, catch basins, and erosion control. Also used in base layers for road projects in areas with poor soil conditions, as backfill material, and for ground cover applications where smaller stones may wash away.
Fill Dirt
Versatile, lower-grade soil commonly used for volume and elevation changes in various construction and landscaping projects. Great for leveling or grading ground, backfilling pools and filling ditches, and evening out low points or depressions on your property.
Decomposed Granite
Known for its natural look, this compact, durable material drains well and holds up in high-traffic areas. Made from crushed and weathered granite down to a mix of fine gravel and sand—best for patios, paths, driveways, and landscape projects. Can range in color from light brown and tan to reddish and gray, depending on the natural stone color in the region.
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.
Driveway Gravel
A ¾”-1” clean, crushed stone ideal for rejuvenating worn down gravel driveways, or for installing a fresh new driveway on your property. Aesthetically pleasing and functional!

Why Placer County Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Placer County has a population of 410,000 and sits within a larger metro area of 2.3+ million — a growth environment that drives steady demand for home improvement and local infrastructure work. A 2.50% annual growth rate means more remodeling, new landscaping, and property upgrades as homeowners and builders respond to rising housing and infrastructure needs. The region’s climate — 228 sunny days and 33.20 inches of annual rainfall in USDA hardiness zone 8b — creates a mix of opportunities and constraints: plenty of sunlight favors drought-tolerant plantings and solar-friendly hardscapes, while seasonal rains make drainage, erosion control, and stable base materials important for driveways, paths, and planting beds. For homeowners, that translates into practical needs for a range of bulk materials — from topsoil and mulch to sand, gravel, and engineered base — chosen for durability, drainage, and local appearance.Popular Projects in Placer County This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Placer County Gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in Placer County.
Costs vary by material type, quantity, distance from supplier, and driveway or site access. Hello Gravel shows transparent pricing in checkout and provides instant quotes for your zip code; additional fees may apply for long drives or difficult access. For a reliable estimate, get a quote on the site or call our team with project details.
Choose materials based on function: stable, well-draining mixes for driveways and compacted base layers for patios, and lighter surfacing for decorative beds. Because Placer County has wet winters and dry summers, pick materials that shed water and resist erosion; local suppliers source aggregates that reflect regional geology. Use our material quiz or contact sales to match gravel, sand, dirt, stone mixes to your specific project.
Spring through early fall is generally best for deliveries and installation because conditions are drier and more predictable. Deliveries are available year-round, but winter rains can make sites muddy, slow compaction, and create access issues. Plan ahead and schedule deliveries for dry windows when possible to avoid delays.
Permit requirements depend on your city, unincorporated county rules, and any HOA restrictions; small landscaping deliveries often do not need permits, while large fills, grading, or new driveways may. Check with your local planning or building department before ordering, and let us know if permits or special access are required so we can coordinate with the hauler. If you need help identifying the right office, contact our team with your zip code.
Hello Gravel lists a minimum order of 3 tons and standard delivery requires 2+ business days. Next-day delivery is available for orders placed before noon CST for an additional fee, and many areas qualify for free delivery. Exact minimums, fees, and lead times can vary by supplier and zip code, so confirm during checkout.
Performance depends on the material and local soil: compact, coarser materials improve stability and drainage on slopes, while finer materials may retain water and worsen erosion on steep grades. Placer County includes valley and foothill soils, so regional sourcing affects texture and drainage characteristics. Discuss slope, drainage, and erosion needs with our team so you get materials suited to your site conditions.
Many local suppliers and haulers serve rural and unincorporated areas, but access constraints such as narrow roads, weight limits, and long driveways can affect delivery. Enter your zip code at checkout or contact us to verify serviceability and any additional fees or offload options. Providing delivery notes and clear directions ahead of time helps ensure a smooth drop-off.
Contractors typically calculate area times depth to get cubic yards, then convert to tons using the material's weight per cubic yard and add 5-10% for compaction and waste. A common formula is (length x width x depth in feet) / 27 = cubic yards, then multiply by tons per cubic yard for your material. Use Hello Gravel's calculator or contact our sales team with project dimensions for a fast, tailored estimate.
Clear a stable access path for the truck, mark the preferred drop area, and remove low-hanging branches or obstacles that could block the truck or dump. Confirm any neighborhood or county restrictions, and request tailgate spreading at checkout if you want the driver to consider it, keeping in mind it’s at their discretion. Good site prep reduces delays and additional fees.
Natural materials vary by region, so color and texture may differ from photos; if you have concerns, contact customer service promptly and include photos when possible. Order changes are easiest to accommodate before the load is dispatched, and we will work with local suppliers to address issues per our policies. For full details, check our order and refund guidance or call our team.
As of today, we require 2 business days for delivery.

The material will be delivered via dump truck. If your order is under 20 tons, then it will likely be just one dump truck load. If your order is more than 20 tons, it will be more than one dump truck load.

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. On delivery day, a dump truck will arrive to dump the materials at your specified location. We request that you have someone available to accept the delivery so that we can make sure to dump it in the correct location. That’s it!
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!
