Why Olivehurst Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Olivehurst has a city population of 29,460 and sits within a growing regional market (metro area population of 2.5+ million) that is steadily expanding at a growth rate of 1.25% annually. That local momentum, combined with a temperate climate—228 sunny days per year and an annual rainfall of 34.25 inches in hardiness zone 8b—keeps demand steady for residential and small-scale commercial construction and landscaping. Homeowners here often need reliable aggregates for driveways, drainage, and drought-tolerant landscaping projects. Gravel is a go-to material because it is low-maintenance, promotes drainage where soils compact under seasonal irrigation and storm events, and complements the sunny, warm conditions common in Olivehurst. For Olivehurst’s conditions, gravel performs well against seasonal rainfall and the region’s soil types by improving surface drainage and reducing erosion on slopes and pathways. Locally sourced gravel reflects regional geology, so color and texture may vary, but the functional benefits remain consistent: permeability, durability, and easy maintenance under frequent sun exposure. Hello Gravel connects Olivehurst homeowners with trusted local suppliers and professional haulers, offering clear pricing, scheduled delivery, and ordering tools so you can pick the right gravel for patios, French drains, driveways, or xeriscaping without the usual legwork.Popular Projects in Olivehurst This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Olivehurst gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in Olivehurst.
Delivered price in Olivehurst varies by type and supplier, but a typical range is roughly $40 to $80 per cubic yard for common gravel types. Depth, delivery distance, and whether you need spreading will affect the final price; Hello Gravel provides local quotes based on your zip code and a 3-ton minimum order.
The most budget-friendly choice for a driveway in the Olivehurst area is usually crusher run or bank-run gravel, which contains fines that compact well. It provides a stable, low-cost surface, but regional availability and appearance will vary due to local geology.
Prices per ton in the West California region commonly range from about $20 to $60, depending on rock type and quantity. Heavier or decorative stones cost more, so request a specific per-ton quote for the exact material you need through Hello Gravel.
Decomposed granite (DG) is available from landscape suppliers around Sacramento and in the Olivehurst area; Hello Gravel can connect you with local suppliers who stock DG. You can also check local garden centers and landscape supply yards in Sacramento, but ordering through Hello Gravel lets you schedule delivery and compare options.
Cost depends on truck size, material, and distance; a common tri-axle dump truck in our network carries about 10 to 12 cubic yards (roughly 12 to 15 tons). For Olivehurst deliveries, final pricing is provided in your Hello Gravel quote and can vary widely, so get a delivery quote for an accurate price.
No, 2 inches is not sufficient for a driveway where vehicles will travel or park. In Olivehurst's clay-influenced soils and seasonal rains, homeowners should plan on 4 to 6 inches of compacted gravel over a properly prepared base, and heavier vehicle use may require 6 to 8 inches for durability.
Costs depend on driveway width and depth, but as an example a 20 ft by 10 ft driveway at 4 inches deep needs about 2.5 cubic yards of gravel. At local delivered prices this could run from roughly $100 to $400 for materials and delivery; contact Hello Gravel for an exact quote based on your dimensions and material choice.
A typical tri-axle load of about 10 cubic yards will cover roughly 270 square feet at 2 inches deep, 180 square feet at 3 inches, or about 135 square feet at 4 inches. Coverage varies with truck size and compaction, so confirm the truck capacity in your Hello Gravel delivery estimate.
Gravel that contains fines and compacts tightly—commonly called crusher run or road base—will lock together and form a firm, almost hard surface when properly compacted. It is not actual concrete; for a truly solid, paved surface consider concrete or stabilized gravel products that include binders or polymer stabilizers.
One ton of gravel is roughly 0.7 to 0.8 cubic yards depending on the stone, which covers about 60 to 65 square feet at 4 inches deep and about 120 to 130 square feet at 2 inches. Exact coverage depends on the specific material density, so use Hello Gravel's calculator or ask for a supplier estimate for your material.
It depends on the use: larger decorative rock is good for accents, drainage, and low-maintenance areas, while gravel (smaller, crushed stone) compacts better and is preferred for driveways, paths, and base layers. Consider appearance, drainage needs, and traffic load—your Hello Gravel rep can recommend materials that suit Olivehurst's soil and climate.
A gravel surface can last many years with periodic maintenance like regrading and topping up loose stone every few years; heavy-traffic areas will move and settle faster. Olivehurst's seasonal rains and clay soils can cause some wash and rutting, so good base preparation and occasional refreshes will extend life and performance.
A common design guideline is a 70/30 split of hardscape to softscape—meaning about 70% paved or gravel surfaces and 30% planting—used to balance low-maintenance areas with greenery. In Olivehurst, using gravel for most walking and parking areas while keeping planting pockets helps reduce water needs and fits the local Mediterranean climate.
Yes, weeds can still sprout through decomposed granite, especially after winter rains in the Olivehurst area. Preventive steps include installing weed barrier fabric, applying a pre-emergent herbicide before installation, compacting the DG well, and occasional maintenance to remove seedlings.
Poured concrete typically costs significantly more per square foot than a gravel driveway; basic concrete in the Sacramento region often runs higher because of material and labor. Gravel driveways are usually the lower-cost option and easier to maintain, but exact price comparisons depend on driveway size, finish, and site prep—request quotes for both options through local suppliers or Hello Gravel.
