Why Castroville Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Castroville is a community with a population of 11,320, positioned within a broader region that serves a metro area population of 7.9+ million. A steady growth rate of 0.40% annually means construction and landscaping demand tends to be measured and ongoing rather than boom-driven—home improvement, yard upgrades, and incremental infill projects are common. With 204 sunny days per year and 49.77 inches of annual rainfall in USDA hardiness zone 9a, local projects need materials that perform well under both strong sun and substantial seasonal moisture. Homeowners and contractors in Castroville are increasingly focused on durable surface bases, reliable drainage solutions, erosion control, and low-maintenance landscape builds. That combination of climate and steady growth makes access to quality bulk materials—gravel, sand, dirt, mulch, and stone—important for lasting outdoor spaces and infrastructure repairs.Popular Projects in Castroville This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Castroville Gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in Castroville.
Start by matching the material to the project performance you need: stability for driveways, good drainage for pathways, and fine texture for planting beds. Consider local conditions in Castroville (coastal climate, sandy or clay soils) and pick from gravel, sand, dirt, stone depending on compaction, drainage, and appearance. Use our aggregate quiz or contact our team for recommendations based on project size and use.
Estimate volume in cubic yards (length x width x depth in feet ÷ 27) and then convert to tons using the material density; densities vary by type, so a single conversion can differ. Hello Gravel offers a material calculator to simplify this and provides guidance when you enter your project dimensions. If you prefer, send project dimensions to our team and we can help check your quantity.
Castroville’s coastal location means occasional fog, salt exposure, and sandy soils that affect drainage and settling. Choose materials that handle local drainage needs and resist salt or erosion when used near the coast, and allow for compaction if your soil is loose. If you have concerns, our team can advise on materials that suit the area’s climate and typical soil conditions.
We deliver via local contracted dump truck fleets, usually tri-axle trucks, with a minimum order of 3 tons. Standard delivery typically takes 2+ business days, and next-day delivery is available for orders placed before noon CST for an additional fee; tailgate spreading may be offered at the driver’s discretion. You can choose your preferred delivery date at checkout and we’ll confirm scheduling after you order.
Clear a safe access path and designate a drop zone that’s level and firm enough for a loaded truck; measure overhead clearance and mark property lines to avoid surprises. Protect paved surfaces with plywood if weight is a concern and move vehicles or obstacles from the delivery area. Communicate any special instructions in the order notes so the driver knows where to place the material.
Yes. Castroville sees most rain in winter, which can make work areas muddy and harder to grade or compact; spring through fall is generally better for delivery and installation. Plan ahead during wet months, allow extra time for scheduling, and consider how wet weather might affect material performance and access. If timing is tight, ask about next-day delivery options but expect additional fees and limited availability.
Our materials are suitable for a wide range of projects including driveways, walkways, patios, drainage swales, backfill, grading, and garden beds. Both homeowners and contractors use these materials for landscaping and small to medium construction jobs in Castroville. If you’re unsure which material is best for your project, our team can suggest options based on intended use and local conditions.
Prices vary by material, quantity, delivery distance, and seasonal demand; regional sourcing in Castroville and nearby areas affects cost. For an accurate price, enter your zip code on our site to check availability and get a quote, or contact our sales team for a personalized estimate. We show transparent pricing up front and will confirm any delivery fees before processing your order.
Because materials are sourced locally, texture, color, and particle size can reflect Castroville’s regional geology and may vary from photos. We aim for consistent quality from trusted suppliers, but natural variation is normal; you can note preferences in the order notes and we’ll pass them along. If the delivered material differs significantly from expectations, contact customer service and we’ll work to resolve it.
Contact our team as soon as possible if you need to change or cancel an order; it’s easier to accommodate requests before materials are dispatched. Once an order is in process with a supplier or truck, changes may be limited and could incur fees. We’ll do our best to help and will explain any options when you call or message our support team.
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.
Hassle Free! Our goal is to make the buying process for gravel and other aggregates as easy and seamless as possible.
