Frequently Asked Questions - Calistoga gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in Calistoga.
Delivery costs in Calistoga vary by supplier, distance from the local quarry, and the amount ordered. Hello Gravel requires a 3-ton minimum and offers standard delivery in 2+ business days; many customers in the area see delivery included or a modest fee for short hauls, while longer rural deliveries can add a surcharge. The best way to get an exact price is to enter your zip code on Hello Gravel or request a quote so we can pair you with local suppliers and show delivered pricing.
For Calistoga's hot, dry Mediterranean climate, crushed angular rock (like 3/4" crushed stone or crush-and-run) is a strong choice for driveways because it compacts and resists shifting. For walkways, decomposed granite or stabilised crushed fines provide a firm, low-dust surface while pea gravel is comfortable underfoot but can migrate on slopes. Regional sourcing means material color and texture will reflect local geology, so ask for photos or samples when ordering.
A quick rule for gravel is: tons = area (sq ft) x depth (in inches) / 240. For example, a 600 sq ft driveway at a 3-inch top layer needs about 7.5 tons (600 x 3 / 240). If you plan a 6-8 inch base for proper support, include that depth in the calculation to find total tons required.
Installation costs vary with site access, base requirements, and local labor rates; simple material-only jobs can be relatively inexpensive while full installs with base, compaction, and grading cost more. In Calistoga, expect the total installed price to vary widely depending on scope; get multiple local quotes that include base rock, compaction, and hauling so you can compare. Hello Gravel can provide delivered material costs and help you coordinate with contractors for installation pricing.
Crushed, angular gravel is generally better for erosion control because the jagged particles lock together and resist movement on slopes. Pea gravel is rounder, tends to roll downhill, and usually requires additional measures like edging, geotextile fabric, or vegetation to stay in place. For steep or erosion-prone slopes in Calistoga, combine an angular base, geotextile, and proper drainage to get the best results.
Hello Gravel works with local suppliers and haulers that serve Calistoga and can show which vendors deliver to your zip code and their delivered price. Delivery fees depend on distance, load size, and access; many customers receive standard delivery in 2+ business days and some areas qualify for free delivery, but remote drops can incur additional charges. Enter your address on Hello Gravel or contact our team for a tailored list of suppliers and exact delivery fees.
In Calistoga's dry climate, gravel surfaces generally need periodic regrading, occasional top-ups, and weed control; dust and small-scale migration are common in the first few years. With proper base, compaction, and occasional refreshes every few years, a gravel driveway can last 10-20 years as a functional surface. Regular sweeping, adding fresh material to low spots, and keeping runoff from washing material away will extend lifespan.
Gravel is naturally permeable and can help manage stormwater, but effectiveness depends on the base and local soil conditions; a compacted fine base or poor subsoil will limit infiltration. For many Calistoga sites, adding a well-graded base, geotextile, and edge drains or catch basins improves performance and prevents washouts during heavy rains. If existing soils are clayey or you have concentrated runoff, plan for additional drainage work to protect the gravel surface.
Gravel is typically the lowest-cost option up front and is naturally permeable, which helps with drought-conscious landscaping and some stormwater requirements. Pavers and concrete cost more to install but can be longer lasting and require less frequent material top-ups; they may also need permits or considerations for stormwater depending on local rules. Consider gravel for lower cost and flexibility, and request quotes for all options to compare lifecycle costs in your specific Calistoga location.
Adding a proper crushed-stone base, geotextile fabric, and compaction increases material and labor costs but dramatically improves longevity and performance. Expect base materials and compaction to add a meaningful portion of the total job cost—often a few hundred to a few thousand dollars depending on area and depth—because of the extra tons of rock and equipment time required. For Calistoga properties where limits on maintenance and erosion are important, investing in a solid base up front usually saves money over the life of the installation.
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.
