Why Big Sur Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Big Sur has a population of 1,020, and with a growth rate of 0.40% annually that growth is steady but modest—meaning homeowner demand is often for renovation, resilience, and incremental new builds rather than rapid subdivision-style expansion. The region sees 204 sunny days per year and receives 49.77 inches of rain annually, and sits in USDA hardiness zone 9a; together these conditions create a dual challenge of wet winters and long dry stretches. For homeowners that translates into a need for reliable drainage solutions, materials that resist seasonal wet-dry cycles, and supplies that support low-maintenance, climate-appropriate landscaping. Whether you are ordering gravel for drainage, sand and dirt for grading, mulch for moisture retention, or stone for terracing, quality bulk materials matter because they control erosion, manage water, and reduce long-term maintenance in this environment.Popular Projects in Big Sur This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Big Sur Gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in Big Sur.
Start with the function you need: drainage, traction, or appearance. In Big Sur's coastal and steep terrain, choose materials that drain well and resist erosion; consider mixes of gravel, sand, dirt, and stone depending on slope and use. If unsure, use our material calculator or contact our team for a recommendation based on your project and site conditions.
Pricing depends on material type, quantity, distance from the supplier, and site accessibility. Remote or steep Big Sur locations can increase hauling time and fuel charges, and added services like next-day delivery or tailgate spreading may add fees. We show transparent pricing at checkout and our team can provide a quote for large or commercial orders.
Materials are generally available year-round, but availability can vary due to local supply, seasonal demand, and weather impacts. Heavy rains or storm damage along coastal routes can delay deliveries, so plan ahead during winter and high-rain seasons. Check your zip code on our site to confirm local availability and lead times.
Allow extra lead time for deliveries to Big Sur because of limited access and weather-related delays. Book materials as soon as your start date is known and consider ordering a few days earlier than needed; choose next-day delivery if your order is placed before noon CST and you need it fast. For larger jobs, schedule multiple deliveries or staging to match your construction or landscaping phases.
Prioritize erosion control and drainage when working on slopes and near the coast; coarser, well-draining aggregates and proper grading help prevent washouts. Access for dump trucks and safe drop zones matters—narrow, steep driveways may require smaller trucks or multiple smaller deliveries. Consult our team so we can match suppliers and haulers that service challenging sites.
Tailgate spreading may be possible but is always at the driver's discretion based on safety and site conditions. You can request spreading at checkout, but there are no guarantees; if spreading is essential, plan for a separate local contractor to complete it. Drivers will assess access and slope on arrival and advise on safe unloading.
Use our online material calculator to estimate tons based on area, depth, and compaction needs, or contact our sales team for help. For Big Sur projects with slopes or terraces, account for extra material to cover compaction and settling. We recommend ordering a small overage (commonly 5-10%) for waste, grading, and unexpected needs.
Hello Gravel has a minimum order of 3 tons and typically delivers via tri-axle dump trucks operated by contracted haulers. Standard delivery takes 2+ business days, with next-day delivery available for orders placed before noon CST for an added fee. Delivery windows depend on local road conditions and supplier schedules, so confirm access and drop zone instructions at checkout.
Salt air and high moisture can accelerate weathering of some materials and influence plant establishment, so choose materials and mixes designed for coastal exposure. Drainage and erosion control are more important in coastal climates; proper base preparation and runoff management increase longevity. Expect natural color and texture variations because materials are regionally sourced.
Contractors can order larger volumes, schedule recurrent deliveries, and work with our sales team for project planning and pricing. Bulk pricing and coordinated logistics are available depending on quantity and frequency; provide project timelines and access details so we can match the right supplier and hauler. For commercial projects, confirm any local permits or staging restrictions before delivery.
Because we source regionally, texture and coloration can vary from photos; this is a natural characteristic of aggregates. If you're concerned, request sample photos or ask suppliers about local variations prior to ordering, and contact customer service promptly if the material significantly differs from your expectations. We will work to resolve the issue in line with our policies.
Permit requirements vary by property and project type—driveway upgrades, major grading, or commercial staging may require county permits or road-use approvals. Check with Monterey County or your local jurisdiction for rules that affect deliveries, truck access, and material storage on-site. If you expect road closures or large staging areas, let our team know early so we can coordinate with suppliers and haulers.

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.
Hassle Free! Our goal is to make the buying process for gravel and other aggregates as easy and seamless as possible. Enter your zip code on our site, select how much material you need (see below FAQ’s to determine order size), select the date and time frame you would like your material delivered at Checkout, and place your order with any major credit card. 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. On delivery day, a dump truck will arrive to dump the materials at your specified location. We request that you have someone available to accept the delivery so that we can make sure to dump it in the correct location. That’s it!
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.
