Why Big Creek Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Big Creek is a small but connected community with a city population of 222 that sits within a larger metro serving 7.9+ million people. A steady growth rate of 0.40% annually points to measured, ongoing demand for home improvements rather than a construction boom — homeowners are more likely to pursue incremental landscaping, drainage upgrades, and small-scale hardscaping projects. Local climate and geography — roughly 204 sunny days per year, 49.77 inches of annual rainfall, and USDA hardiness zone 9a — create mixed needs: yards must cope with intense sun and substantial wet seasons, manage runoff, and support climate-appropriate plantings. That mix makes quality bulk materials important across projects; locally sourced aggregates, engineered soils, and organic ground covers help ensure surfaces drain, plantings establish, and outdoor living spaces remain low-maintenance and durable.Popular Projects in Big Creek This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Big Creek Gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in Big Creek.
Costs vary by material, quantity, and distance from local suppliers, but delivered bulk materials in rural California areas often range from about $30 to $100 per ton. Larger orders usually lower the per-ton price and minimum orders are typically 3 tons. Shipping factors like access difficulty, truck type, and next-day service fees can increase the final cost.
Pick a material based on load, drainage, and maintenance needs: choose options that compact well for vehicle loads, allow water to drain, and suit your desired look. Because materials are regionally sourced, expect texture and color variation; use our material quiz or contact our sales team for recommendations based on local conditions. Consider a base layer and a top layer to balance stability and appearance for paths and driveways.
Aim for drier months when ground is firm to make spreading and compaction easier and to avoid delays from muddy access. In West California, avoid major winter storms and plan projects in spring through fall when possible. If you need work during wet months, allow extra time for delivery and ask the driver to assess site conditions before unloading.
If your site has poor drainage or clay soils, choose materials that promote runoff and resist sitting water; adding a drainage layer or geotextile can help. For sloped areas, use heavier, angular materials that resist movement and pair them with erosion control methods. Test a small area if unsure, and consult our team for guidance tailored to your site.
Regulations vary by city and county, so check local building and zoning offices before starting major grading, large-scale landscaping, or work in public right-of-way areas. Small backyard deliveries usually do not require permits, but driveways, retaining walls, and significant soil moving may. When in doubt, contact local authorities or ask our team for general guidance before you order.
Deliveries are typically made by dump trucks (often tri-axle), though single-axle and larger super-dump trucks are sometimes used depending on order size and supplier. Provide a flat, stable turnaround or sufficient space for a 40- to 60-foot truck to maneuver, and watch for low branches, gates, or narrow roads that could restrict access. Let us know site constraints at checkout so we can match the right hauler and avoid delivery issues.
Drivers may offer tailgate spreading at their discretion, but this service is not guaranteed and depends on safety, site access, and local rules. You can request spreading at checkout, but plan for the possibility that the driver will only dump material and not perform spreading. For consistent spreading results, consider hiring a local contractor or renting small equipment.
Use heavier, angular aggregates and combine them with erosion-control measures like geotextile fabric, retaining features, and vegetation to stabilize slopes. Proper drainage—such as swales or drain rock—reduces runoff force and prolongs material performance. For steep or sensitive slopes, consult professionals and consider staged installations to minimize disturbance.
Use our online material calculator for a quick estimate and take measurements of length, width, and depth to input accurate numbers; minimum orders are around 3 tons. If you are unsure which material fits your project, use the aggregate quiz or contact our sales team by phone or text for tailored guidance based on local conditions and project goals.
As of today, we require 2 business days for delivery.

The material will be delivered via dump truck. If your order is under 20 tons, then it will likely be just one dump truck load. If your order is more than 20 tons, it will be more than one dump truck load.

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.

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!
