Materials Available for Delivery
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.
3/4″ Crushed Stone
A reliable, clean ¾” crushed granite or limestone with many applications. Great for gravel driveways, concrete mixes, landscaping applications, and backfilling retaining walls or around foundations.
Walkway Gravel
A smaller ⅜” crushed stone that is great for paths, patios, and garden walkways. Comfortable under foot thanks to its smaller size, and creates a beautiful garden-like atmosphere.
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!
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.

Why Squaw Valley Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Squaw Valley is a small but active community of 3,010 residents where steady, measured growth of 0.40% annually shapes local building and landscaping demand. That kind of growth typically means more targeted renovations and incremental home-improvement projects rather than rapid subdivision-scale construction; homeowners are more often repairing, upgrading, or adapting outdoor spaces. With 204 sunny days per year, 49.77 inches of annual rainfall, and a USDA hardiness zone of 9a, local projects need materials that handle both sun and substantial seasonal moisture. That combination drives demand for reliable bulk supplies—gravel, sand, dirt, mulch, and stone—that help with drainage, erosion control, plant health, and durable surfacing. For Squaw Valley homeowners, quality and consistency matter: properly chosen aggregates reduce maintenance, improve water management, and help landscapes thrive in local conditions. Local soils, seasonal rains, and frequent sun create specific performance expectations for any bulk material you use. Materials must resist washout during heavy rains and still allow for root growth and infiltration during dry spells; compaction, particle size, and organic content will all affect longevity and function. That means homeowners should prioritize local sourcing and guidance so materials reflect regional geology and weather patterns. Hello Gravel connects you with local suppliers and haulers who understand these factors, helping you choose materials, calculate quantities, and schedule delivery to match your project timeline and site conditions. Working with local expertise reduces surprises and helps projects hold up to Squaw Valley’s mixed sun-and-rain climate.Popular Projects in Squaw Valley This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Squaw Valley Gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in Squaw Valley.
Squaw Valley's mountain climate brings snow, icy roads, and occasional road closures that can delay deliveries and make spreading difficult. Best windows for large outdoor work are late spring through early fall; winter deliveries are possible but may require extra coordination, equipment, or permits. Expect longer lead times and check local road conditions before scheduling delivery.
Choose materials that drain well, compact reliably, and resist frost heave; in practice that means using well-graded, angular aggregates and appropriate base layers rather than fine, water-retaining mixes. Consider the whole system—base, surface, and drainage—when picking from gravel, sand, dirt, and stone so the surface sheds water and freezes less often. Local sourcing will affect texture and color, so ask for samples if appearance matters.
Yes. Steep, narrow, or switchback roads often have weight restrictions, limited turnaround space, and load limits that affect truck routing and offload location. Some deliveries may need smaller trucks, permits, or a designated staging area off the main road, so provide photos and detailed access notes at checkout. Our team will review access and coordinate with local haulers to determine the safest delivery approach.
Pricing varies with material type, distance, hauling difficulty, and seasonal demand; mountain deliveries commonly cost more than lowland areas. As a rough ballpark, delivered costs often fall within a broad range (for example, several tens to low hundreds of dollars per ton or cubic yard), but exact pricing depends on your zip code, material choice, and site access. Use our online quote tool or contact our team for an accurate delivered price for your Squaw Valley address.
You may. Placer County, Tahoe-area agencies, and local homeowners associations can require permits, erosion control plans, or temporary protections for larger grading or driveway replacement projects. Check with your local planning or public works office before you order, and tell us about any permit conditions so we can help coordinate delivery timing and documentation.
Contractors typically bill separately for materials and installation; material-only purchases cover the delivered aggregates, while installation includes labor, equipment, hauling, grading, compaction, and disposal. Installation pricing depends on project complexity, slope, access, and cleanup needs and can be several times the material cost for labor-intensive jobs. Ask contractors for itemized quotes so you can compare material-only delivery from Hello Gravel with full-install bids.
Hello Gravel partners with local suppliers and contracted haulers that serve Squaw Valley and nearby mountain communities; availability varies with zip code and season. Use our website to check your zip code, get quotes, and see the materials available in your area, or contact our team for help finding options that suit your project and local conditions.
Measure the area (length x width) and multiply by the desired depth to get cubic feet, then divide by 27 to convert to cubic yards. For practical ordering, account for compaction and waste by adding 5–15% extra depending on the material and site conditions, and convert cubic yards to tons if needed using a material density estimate. If you prefer not to calculate, use our online material calculator or contact our team with project dimensions for help.
Snow and steep slopes increase the need for reliable drainage, erosion control, and freeze-resistant layering; water that collects and freezes is the main cause of surface damage. Plan for positive drainage, subdrains or French drains where needed, geotextile fabric on steep fills, and a stable base layer before placing surface materials like gravel, sand, dirt, and stone. Discuss slope, snowmelt patterns, and runoff with your contractor or our team to choose materials and details that reduce long-term maintenance.
Standard delivery is typically 2+ business days, with next-day options available for qualifying orders, but remote or difficult-access locations often require extra lead time. In winter, during road restrictions, or when specialized trucks are needed, plan for several extra days to a week for scheduling. Provide full access information at checkout so we can arrange the appropriate truck and timing for your site.
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.
