Decomposed Granite
Known for its natural look, this compact, durable material drains well and holds up in high-traffic areas.

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

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 Butte Valley Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Butte Valley is a growing community of 250,000 residents sitting within a metro area of 750,000. With an annual growth rate of 1.20% and a climate that averages 210 sunny days and 35.00 inches of rain each year, homeowners here face both sun-driven drought conditions and seasonal downpours that demand smart site drainage and durable surfaces. That steady growth is driving construction and landscaping activity—from new driveways and patio installs to yard regrading and stormwater improvements—so residents increasingly seek reliable, quality aggregates. Gravel is a go-to material for many of these projects because it handles water flow, reduces erosion, and provides a stable base where native soils can be variable across Butte Valley’s USDA Hardiness Zone 7a landscape.Popular Projects in Butte Valley This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Butte Valley gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in Butte Valley.
Typical retail price ranges for common gravel in Butte Valley are about $30 to $60 per ton for crushed stone and $40 to $80 per ton for pea gravel, depending on size and color. Delivered prices often run higher, typically $45 to $100 per ton in West California metro areas, because of hauling distance and supplier rates. Hello Gravel has a 3-ton minimum and can show exact delivered pricing for your zip code at checkout.
For driveways in Butte Valley, 3/4" crushed stone or crushed gravel with fines provides a stable, compactable surface. For paths and patios, pea gravel or decomposed stone (1/4" to 3/8") offers a comfortable walking surface but may need edging. For drainage and French drains, use clean crushed rock or 3/4" minus stone and washed gravel to keep water moving and avoid clogged fines.
A good rule: 1 cubic yard of gravel weighs about 1.4 tons. For a 1-car driveway (12 x 20 ft): at 3" you need ~2.2 cubic yards (~3.1 tons), at 4" ~2.9 cubic yards (~4.1 tons. For a 2-car driveway (20 x 20 ft): at 3" ~3.7 cubic yards (~5.2 tons), at 4" ~4.9 cubic yards (~6.9 tons. A 100 sq ft patio at 3" needs ~0.93 cubic yards (~1.3 tons) and at 4" ~1.23 cubic yards (~1.7 tons.
Yes. Butte Valley and surrounding West California areas commonly have clay pockets and variable soils that hold water, plus sloped terrain in foothill zones that increases erosion risk. These conditions can cause rutting, settling, or washout if you skip proper subgrade prep and drainage planning. Addressing slope, adding a compacted base, and using geotextile fabric will improve long-term performance.
Permit requirements vary by city and county; some projects like new driveway apron work, changes to access, or significant impervious-area increases can trigger permits or public-works review. Check with Butte County planning, your city public works department, and any HOA before work begins. If in doubt, contact local authorities or Hello Gravel's customer team for guidance on common local rules.
Common stabilization solutions in the region include geotextile fabric underlay, gravel grids or cells, polymer or resin stabilizers, and compacted crusher-run base layers. Local landscaping and paving contractors in Butte Valley typically offer installation for these systems, and many materials suppliers carry gravel grids and fabric. Hello Gravel can deliver bulk material; for installation and grid supply you may want to ask local contractors for quotes.
In Butte Valley's climate, a properly installed gravel surface can last 5 to 20 years depending on traffic and maintenance. Expect light annual upkeep like raking, regrading, and topping up with a thin layer every 2 to 5 years, and heavier regrades or replenishment every 5 to 10 years for driveways. Regular drainage checks and prompt repair of ruts or washouts extend life and reduce long-term costs.
Gravel is usually the lowest upfront cost and is quick to install, but it can shift, create dust, and needs more routine maintenance than asphalt or pavers. Asphalt is more durable and low-maintenance for driveways but costs significantly more and may require permits or installation contractors. Decomposed granite gives a natural look similar to gravel but binds differently and may need stabilizers; pavers offer the longest life and easiest maintenance but come with the highest material and labor cost.
Yes. There are regional suppliers and contractors serving Butte Valley, and Hello Gravel’s network can connect you to local suppliers and dump-truck delivery options. Minimum orders typically start at 3 tons and deliveries are usually by tri-axle dump truck; ask about spreading at checkout since tailgate spreading is at the driver's discretion. Availability and color/texture vary regionally, so check product photos and delivery notes for local material characteristics.
Late spring through early fall is generally best for gravel work in Butte Valley, when soils are drier and compaction is easier. Avoid installing during heavy rain or immediately before the wet season to reduce the risk of washout and poor compaction. Also be aware that extreme summer heat can affect some stabilizers or binders, so follow product guidance and schedule work for milder days when possible.
Hello Gravel typically requires a 3-ton minimum order and offers standard delivery in 2+ business days, with a next-day option for orders placed before noon CST for an extra fee. Deliveries are performed by local contracted truck fleets, and drivers may offer tailgate spreading at their discretion if you request it at checkout. For exact pricing, delivery windows, and material photos for your zip code, use the Hello Gravel checkout or contact our team.
As of today, we require 2 business days for delivery.

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.
