Decomposed Granite
Known for its natural look, this compact, durable material drains well and holds up in high-traffic areas. Made from crushed and weathered granite down to a mix of fine gravel and sand—best for patios, paths, driveways, and landscape projects. Can range in color from light brown and tan to reddish and gray, depending on the natural stone color in the region.
Walkway Gravel
A smaller ⅜” crushed stone that is great for paths, patios, and garden walkways. Comfortable under foot thanks to its smaller size, and creates a beautiful garden-like atmosphere.
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!

Why Buellton Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Buellton, West California, California, has a city population of 5,750 and sits within a metro area of 2.5+ million residents. The community is growing modestly at 0.33% annually and benefits from a favorable climate — about 228/year sunny days, 34.25 inches of annual rainfall, and a USDA hardiness zone of 8b. That mix of steady growth, sun, and seasonal rain drives demand for home projects like driveways, drainage upgrades, pathways, and erosion control that depend on dependable aggregates. Homeowners in Buellton typically seek gravel to improve drainage, stabilize local soils, and reduce maintenance in a climate that alternates sunny spells and wet seasons. Gravel performs particularly well in Buellton because its permeability helps shed 34.25 inches of annual rainfall while standing up to the area’s 228/year sunny days. Local gravel blends reflect regional geology, offering mixes that lock together for stable drives or remain open-graded for French drains and planting areas. Hello Gravel connects Buellton homeowners with vetted local suppliers and professional haulers, handling ordering, scheduling, and delivery (minimum order 3 tons; standard delivery 2+ business days; next-day options for eligible orders). We simplify material selection, provide transparent pricing, and coordinate regional deliveries so you get the right gravel for your Buellton project on a schedule that works for you.Popular Projects in Buellton This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Buellton gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in Buellton.
A tri-axle dump truck typically carries about 10-12 tons of gravel, but final delivered cost depends on the material type, haul distance, and any required site services. Hello Gravel requires a 3-ton minimum and shows transparent per-ton pricing at checkout; for an exact delivered price to Buellton, request a quote on our site or contact our team so we can factor material, delivery distance, and any added services.
Hello Gravel has a 3-ton minimum order. Standard delivery is usually 2+ business days, while next-day delivery is available for orders placed before noon CST for an extra fee; individual local suppliers may have different minimums or lead times, so check the quote details at checkout.
Assuming a single-car driveway 20 feet long by 10 feet wide (200 sq ft): you would need about 1.23 cubic yards (roughly 1.7 tons) at 2 inches, 1.85 cubic yards (about 2.6 tons) at 3 inches, and 2.47 cubic yards (about 3.5 tons) at 4 inches. Material density and compaction vary, so round up and add 10% for waste and settling when ordering.
For driveways, crushed rock or base rock (commonly 3/4" to 1") topped with a 3/8" minus or compactable stone gives good stability and drainage in Buellton's dry Mediterranean climate. For landscaping, pea gravel, decomposed granite, and decorative crushed stone are popular; choose finer, rounded materials for walking areas and larger, angular rock for erosion control or drive lanes. Regional sourcing means color and texture will vary, so request samples or order a small test load if color matters.
Best practice is to clear vegetation, grade and compact the native soil, then install a compacted base of crushed rock (often 3-6 inches) and a geotextile fabric if the soil is soft or has drainage issues. In Buellton areas with silty or clay soils, a proper base and fabric prevent sinking and weed growth; simply laying gravel on native soil can lead to rutting and excessive maintenance.
Costs vary with site prep, excavation, base depth, and material choice; expect material-plus-installation estimates typically in the low single digits to mid single digits per square foot for light prep, rising if extensive grading, drainage work, or curb modifications are required. Get at least two local quotes — contractors will price based on access, existing grade, and the amount of base material needed.
Recycled options such as crushed concrete or reclaimed asphalt are often available from regional suppliers and can be 10-30% cheaper than new quarried stone depending on local supply and quality. Reclaimed materials can perform well for base layers and paths, but check for contaminants, consistency, and appearance before choosing them for decorative uses.
Rules vary: some HOAs have strict aesthetic rules about loose gravel, color, or edging, and city or county agencies may require permits if a new driveway changes drainage, curb cuts, or impervious surface. Before you order, check Buellton city planning, Santa Barbara County code, and any HOA covenants to confirm rules and whether a permit or design review is required.
Gravel is heavy and trucking is the main delivery cost, so longer hauls from distant quarries or yards usually increase per-ton or flat delivery fees. Suppliers typically source regionally within Santa Barbara and neighboring counties, but if your material must travel farther, expect higher delivery charges; ask your Hello Gravel quote to show delivery distance and fees.
Using a typical loose gravel density of about 1.4 tons per cubic yard: one cubic yard covers roughly 161 sq ft at 2 inches, 108 sq ft at 3 inches, and 81 sq ft at 4 inches. One ton (about 0.71 cubic yards) therefore covers about 115 sq ft at 2 inches, 77 sq ft at 3 inches, and 58 sq ft at 4 inches; adjust for your material's density and add 10% for waste and compaction.
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.
