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.
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!
Black Shredded Mulch
Rich black shredded hardwood mulch made from oak, hickory, and maple. Holds in moisture, blocks weeds, and gives your garden beds a bold look that makes green plants and colorful flowers stand out.
#57 Crushed Stone
Multi-use crushed stone for home & landscape projects. Ranging from ¾” to 1” in size, #57 stone is a versatile product used for concrete production, drainage applications, driveways, parking lots, and as base material under slabs and footings. Large enough to provide drainage but small enough to lock together when applied and create a stable base and a relatively smooth surface.

Why Altaville Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Altaville is a compact community with a city population of 1,554. That modest size, combined with the West California metro area's steady growth rate of 0.40% annually, points to measured, ongoing demand for home improvement and small-scale construction rather than a construction boom—meaning homeowners often undertake incremental landscaping, hardscaping, and repair projects. With about 204 sunny days/year and annual rainfall of 49.77 inches in the region and placement in USDA hardiness zone 9a, local projects need materials that balance sun exposure, seasonal moisture, and year-round plant viability. Homeowners in Altaville are therefore choosing a mix of durable base materials, drainage-friendly aggregates, and weather-resistant top layers to protect yards and driveways while supporting plantings suited to the 9a zone. Quality bulk supplies matter here because they improve longevity, reduce maintenance, and help control erosion and water flow on modestly sloped lots common in the area.Popular Projects in Altaville This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Altaville Gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in Altaville.
Measure the area (length x width) and decide the depth in inches, then convert to cubic yards by multiplying length x width x depth (in feet) and dividing by 27. Different materials pack and weigh differently, so use Hello Gravel’s material calculator or contact our team for a tons estimate and always add 5-10% for waste and settlement.
Truck capacities vary by local hauler, but bulk deliveries are commonly quoted in tons and truckloads can vary based on vehicle type and material density. Hello Gravel’s listings show tons and our minimum order is 3 tons; contact us if you need help estimating how many truckloads your project will require.
For establishing a new lawn or planting beds, 2 inches is usually too thin; most new lawn projects do best with 4 to 6 inches of good growing mix. Two inches can work for overseeding or improving existing soil in small areas, but deeper material gives roots room to grow and improves moisture retention.
The 70/30 guideline is a simple mix example: about 70% base soil or screened dirt blended with 30% compost or organic amendment to improve fertility and structure. It’s a starting point that you can adjust based on plant needs, soil tests, and local conditions in Altaville.
Costs depend on local availability, but basic bulk fill dirt or native screened soil is often among the least expensive options, while decorative stone and specialty sands tend to cost more. Regional sourcing affects price, so check Hello Gravel’s local listings to compare gravel, sand, dirt, stone, and recycled options.
The rule of 3 is a design principle that groups elements in threes for a balanced, natural look; apply it to plantings, hardscape features, or materials by repeating textures, colors, or sizes in sets of three. Using three complementary materials like gravel, stone, and mulch can also create visual interest while keeping the design cohesive.
Decide based on function: drainage and base layers favor sand or crushed stone, planting needs require good dirt or amended topsoil, and walkways or aesthetics may call for decorative gravel or stone. Consider load-bearing needs, local climate (including wet-season runoff in Altaville), budget, and appearance, and use Hello Gravel’s product descriptions and team advice to narrow your choice.
Service depends on your zip code, so check availability on the site or contact our team; standard delivery takes 2+ business days and next-day delivery is available for orders placed before noon CST for an extra fee. Deliveries are made by local contracted dump truck fleets, our minimum order is 3 tons, and drivers may offer tailgate spreading at their discretion but it is not guaranteed.
Contact Hello Gravel as soon as possible; changes are easier before an order is dispatched and we will do our best to accommodate requests. Final changes depend on supplier and hauler status, so earlier notice gives the best chance to modify quantities, delivery date, or drop location.
Clear the delivery area of vehicles, low-hanging branches, and obstacles, and mark the preferred drop spot with flags or cones so the driver can see it from the road. Be aware of driveway weight limits, narrow rural roads, and seasonal conditions in Altaville; if access is tight, tell our team during ordering so we can advise on vehicle type and drop options.
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.
Hassle Free! Our goal is to make the buying process for gravel and other aggregates as easy and seamless as possible.

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.

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!
