Why Rancho Murieta Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Rancho Murieta is a growing community of 120,000 residents on the edge of the West California metro, which serves a metro population of 2.4+ million and is expanding at about 2.50% annually. The area's temperate, Mediterranean-like climate (hardiness zone 8b) brings 228 sunny days per year and about 34.00 inches of rain annually, creating ideal conditions for year-round landscaping and construction but also seasonal runoff and erosion concerns. Homeowners and local contractors increasingly need reliable aggregates for driveway bases, drainage swales, pathways, and patio foundations. Quality gravel helps manage water, resists sun-driven breakdown, and provides a stable, low-maintenance surface—so selecting the right texture, angularity, and gradation matters for long-lasting results.Popular Projects in Rancho Murieta This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Rancho Murieta gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in Rancho Murieta.
Prices in Rancho Murieta vary by type and season, but typical ranges are: crushed rock $30-60 per ton (about $40-80 per cubic yard), river rock $60-120 per ton ($80-160 per cubic yard), and decomposed granite $25-65 per ton ($35-90 per cubic yard). Local sourcing, delivery distance, and seasonal demand can move prices up or down, so get a quote for exact pricing.
Hello Gravel has a 3-ton minimum order and standard delivery is 2+ business days; many local deliveries are free or included in the quote, but rural or hard-to-access Rancho Murieta locations can add fees. Expect delivery fees from $0 to $200 in some cases, and next-day delivery is available for orders placed before noon CST for an extra charge.
For Rancho Murieta, 3/4" to 1" crushed rock (with some fines for compaction) is a good all-around driveway surface because it compacts well and sheds water. Decomposed granite can work for low-traffic drives but may need stabilizer for heavy use, while larger river rock is better for drainage areas rather than main driving surfaces.
For a durable residential driveway, plan on 6-8 inches of compacted base (crushed rock or road base) plus 3-4 inches of surface gravel. Patios typically need 2-4 inches of compacted base and a settled surface layer, while horse paddocks benefit from 6-8 inches of base with geotextile fabric and good drainage. Always remove vegetation, grade, install fabric if needed, and compact in 2-3 inch lifts for best results.
We don’t list specific contractors, but local landscapers and driveway installers in Rancho Murieta and Sacramento County can handle excavation, base prep, and spreading. Typical installation costs run roughly $3-8 per square foot for basic spreading and $5-12 per square foot for full-install jobs with excavation, geotextile, and compaction; get multiple local quotes and ask for references.
Rancho Murieta has HOA rules and community covenants that often govern driveway materials and appearance, so check your neighborhood CC&Rs before work. County permits are usually not required for resurfacing in place, but if you change driveway footprint or disturb protected areas or drainage zones, contact Sacramento County planning to confirm.
Expect regular maintenance: light regrading every 1-3 years and topping up of surface gravel every 2-5 years depending on traffic. Material costs for topping up are usually $30-60 per ton, while regrading or professional maintenance can run a few hundred dollars to over $1,000 depending on driveway size and extent of work.
Gravel is often the most cost-effective for rural Rancho Murieta lots because it drains well and is cheaper to install than asphalt, but it requires more ongoing maintenance. Asphalt gives a smoother, lower-maintenance surface for driveways with higher traffic and is more dust-free, while decomposed granite is attractive and low-profile but less durable under heavy vehicular use unless stabilized.
Common decorative options locally include pea gravel (3/8"), river rock, crushed granite, lava rock, and colored crushed stone; colors often reflect local geology so tones range from tan and rust to gray. Choose size by use: small pea gravel for walkways, crushed stone for edges and driveways, and river rock for accents and drainage; request samples or a small trial delivery to confirm color and texture.
Use this quick formula: (Area in sq ft × depth in inches) ÷ 324 = cubic yards needed, then multiply cubic yards by about 1.4 to estimate tons. Hello Gravel provides an online material calculator and can estimate quantities and arrange delivery to Rancho Murieta; our team can also confirm final amounts when you enter your address and project details.

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.
