Calpella has a population of 609 and sits within a steadily growing region—the metro area has a population of 2.5+ million and is expanding at about 0.38% annually. Local climate and geography shape how homes are built and landscaped: Calpella averages 228 sunny days per year, receives 34.25 inches of rain annually, and falls in hardiness zone 8b. Those conditions create steady demand for reliable aggregate materials that handle seasonal runoff, reduce erosion, and minimize maintenance under strong sun. Homeowners in Calpella look for materials that balance drainage, durability, and appearance, so quality gravel that reflects local geology is often chosen for driveways, pathways, and drainage projects.Popular Projects in Calpella This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Calpella gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in Calpella.
Retail prices in the Calpella/Mendocino County area vary by material and supplier, but expect ranges: pea gravel $40-80 per ton, 3/4" crushed rock $30-70 per ton, and decomposed granite $35-75 per ton. Prices fluctuate with local supply, seasonal demand, and delivery distance, so use these ranges as estimates and request a quote for current local pricing.
Delivery is free in many areas but rural deliveries near Calpella may incur a fee, typically $50-150 depending on distance and truck size. Tailgate spreading is optional and performed at the driver's discretion; if a supplier offers it, expect an additional $75-250 depending on job size and access.
For Calpella's Mediterranean climate and common local soils, a compacted base of 3/4" crushed rock (crusher run) is a good choice: 4-6" compacted for a 1-car driveway and 6-8" compacted for a 2-car driveway, with a 1-2" wearing layer of smaller crushed stone or DG. Consider geotextile fabric over soft soil and edge restraints to prevent spreading; consult a local contractor if you have very weak or clay-heavy soils.
For crushed rock (approx. 1.4 tons per cubic yard), expect about 0.86 tons at 2", 1.30 tons at 3", and 1.73 tons at 4" per 100 sq ft. For pea gravel (approx. 1.5 tons per cubic yard), expect about 0.93 tons at 2", 1.39 tons at 3", and 1.85 tons at 4" per 100 sq ft. These are estimates—order an extra 5-10% for compaction and waste, and note our minimum order is 3 tons.
Hello Gravel connects you with trusted local suppliers and haulers serving the Calpella area; exact yards vary by zip code. Typical lead times are 2+ business days for standard delivery, with many suppliers able to deliver within 3-7 days depending on stock and season; request a local quote to see supplier names and exact availability.
Gravel can reduce surface erosion by protecting soil and improving surface drainage when sized and installed correctly, such as using larger rock at slope toes, terraces, or check dams. On steep or highly erodible slopes common around Calpella, combine gravel with erosion control fabric, retaining features, or plantings, and consult an engineer for significant hillside work.
Gravel driveways perform well in Calpella but require regular upkeep: expect light grading after wet winters and low-intensity maintenance yearly, with top-ups of 1-2" every 2-5 years depending on traffic. Heavier use or poor subgrade may need more frequent repairs; routine weed control and regrading after storms will extend the driveway life.
Gravel has the lowest upfront cost but higher ongoing maintenance, typically costing roughly $1-3 per sq ft installed in rural California, while asphalt is mid-range ($3-6 per sq ft) and concrete is highest ($6-12 per sq ft). Over the long term, asphalt and concrete usually require less frequent topping and grading, but exact lifecycle costs depend on site conditions, traffic, and local contractor rates.
Common sizes include 3/8" for pathways and topping, 1/2" and 3/4" for general-purpose crushed rock, 3/4" minus (crusher run) for base layers, and 1-2" rock for drainage or slope protection. For Calpella, use crusher run for driveway bases, 3/4" or 1/2" for surfaced driveways and pathways, and larger 1-2" rock for drainage swales or toe-of-slope work.
Requirements vary: many rural properties in Mendocino County do not require a permit for resurfacing a driveway, but changes to impervious surface, drainage, or driveway access may trigger county review. Always check Mendocino County planning and any HOA rules before installing gravel in Calpella, and keep erosion-control measures on hand to meet common permit or HOA concerns.
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.
