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.

Why Bethel Island Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Bethel Island, home to 1,734 residents, sits within a steadily evolving West California metro of 2.7+ million. With a conservative growth rate of 0.40% annually, development in the area tends to be steady and incremental rather than explosive. The local climate—about 228 sunny days a year and roughly 34.25 inches of annual rainfall—combined with a hardiness zone of 8b creates a mix of sunny, occasionally wet conditions. Homeowners here often tackle projects that require reliable, low-maintenance materials: reinforcing driveways, improving yard drainage, building pathways, and controlling shoreline or bank erosion. For those jobs, quality gravel is a go-to choice because it balances durability, permeability, and cost-effectiveness while reflecting the unique local geology.Popular Projects in Bethel Island This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Bethel Island gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in Bethel Island.
Delivery costs vary by supplier, distance, and access. Many customers see free or low-cost delivery on the mainland, but island deliveries to Bethel Island can include an extra access or ferry-style surcharge; a common range is roughly $50 to $150, though fees vary by route and truck size. Hello Gravel shows any available delivery fees during checkout for your zip code, and we recommend checking that total before confirming your order.
Hello Gravel partners with a network of local suppliers and haulers across West California and can connect you with those that service Bethel Island. Availability depends on your zip code and stock; enter your address on our site to see live supplier options and product types (crushed stone, pea gravel, DG, river rock) that can be delivered to your property. If you prefer specific quarries, our team can help identify local sources and confirm delivery access.
One cubic yard of gravel covers 324 square feet at 1 inch depth, and 1 cubic yard of crushed stone is roughly 1.4 tons. That means you need about 0.0043 tons per square foot per inch of depth (or about 0.43 tons for 100 sq ft at 1 inch). Keep in mind Hello Gravel's minimum order is 3 tons, so small projects may require ordering more than the calculated need.
For low-lying, flood-prone lots choose larger, angular crushed stone (like 3/4" crushed rock) for a stable base and open-graded rock or river rock for drainage layers. Avoid fine material that can wash away; pea gravel and decomposed granite tend to shift or erode more during flooding unless locked in with stabilization systems. Combine rock with geotextile fabric, good edge restraints, and positive grading to keep material in place and promote drainage.
Permit and engineering requirements depend on the project scope and local flood zone status; Bethel Island falls under Contra Costa County jurisdiction for building and permits. Simple resurfacing or small private driveways often do not need engineered plans, but larger or new driveway work in regulated flood zones, drainage swales, or near public right-of-way may require permits or engineered bases. Check with Contra Costa County Building and Planning before starting work to confirm any site-specific requirements.
Salt and brackish water do not damage stone itself but can accelerate corrosion of metal edging, stake anchors, and fasteners. Use stainless, hot-dipped galvanized, or plastic composite edging and specify corrosion-resistant hardware for coastal or brackish sites. Also expect faster breakdown of untreated wooden components and consider choosing materials and coatings designed for marine or delta environments.
Inspect and re-grade gravel surfaces after heavy rains or tidal flooding; many homeowners top-dress and recompact high-use areas once a year and do a fuller refresh every 2 to 3 years depending on traffic. Keep drainage channels and edges clear of silt and vegetation, and reapply material to low spots or ruts as soon as they form to prevent bigger repairs. Routine light regrading and occasional compaction extend the life of a gravel surface in this climate.
Yes, contractors commonly charge separately for hauling, spreading and compaction, geotextile fabric, edge restraints, grading, and permit facilitation. Expect additional line items for compaction equipment, geotextile (recommended in soft or wet soils), and durable edging to hold material in place; island access or difficult driveways may add labor or mobilization fees. Ask contractors for an itemized quote so you can compare material and installation costs clearly.
Gravel usually has a lower upfront material and installation cost than asphalt or concrete, and it is easier and cheaper to repair after flooding or settling. However, gravel requires ongoing maintenance (regrading, topping, compaction) that can add costs over time, while asphalt and concrete need higher upfront investment and can be more vulnerable to water undermining without engineered bases. For flood-prone Bethel Island sites, gravel can be a practical, flexible choice if paired with good drainage; for a low-maintenance paved surface you may need engineered base and more costly construction.
For drainage swales and areas that must move water, use larger open-graded rock or river rock to allow flow while resisting washout. For pathways and patios, stabilized decomposed granite or compacted crushed stone with edging and geotextile can provide a firm surface, but avoid loose pea gravel in areas prone to standing water. Always combine surface choices with good grading and sub-surface drainage to reduce flood-related damage.

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.
