3/8″ Natural Pea Gravel
Decorative and functional landscaping gravel. Small, naturally rounded stones create an aesthetic appeal when used for pathways, plant beds and garden borders. Also great for water features, rock gardens, dog runs and playground surfacing.
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.
Brown Shredded Mulch
Shredded bark and wood from trees like oak, hickory, and maple, used for landscaping and gardening applications. Provides moisture retention in your soil, weed suppression, temperature regulation for plants, and the gradual addition of organic matter as it decomposes slowly over time. Adds a beautiful, finished look to your home’s exterior.

Why Ceres Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Ceres has a city population of 41,490 and sits within a broader regional market that includes a metro area population of 7.9+ million. A growth rate of 0.40% annually signals steady, incremental expansion—not a construction boom, but enough consistent demand to keep residential renovations, yard upgrades, and small-scale additions common year to year. With 204 sunny days per year, 49.77 inches of annual rainfall, and a USDA hardiness zone of 9a, local projects must balance sun exposure and substantial seasonal rainfall. Homeowners and contractors benefit from bulk materials that offer both drainage and durability: mixes that manage runoff during wet months, resilient surfacing for long sun exposure, and planting substrates matched to local hardiness. Using locally sourced gravel, dirt, sand, mulch, and stone helps projects perform as expected in Ceres’s specific climate and soil context.Popular Projects in Ceres This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Ceres Gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in Ceres.
Choose a material based on traffic, drainage, and appearance rather than a single "best" option. For most driveway projects in Ceres, durable, well-draining options that compact well are common choices; consider materials that handle vehicle weight and shed water during winter rains. Regional sourcing means color and texture can vary, so request local photos or samples when possible.
Pick materials that resist breakdown from sun and heat and that drain well during rainy periods. Look for aggregates and soils with good compaction and erosion resistance, and consider surface treatments or a permeable design to reduce washout during storms.
Measure the area in square feet and decide on the depth you need in inches, then convert to cubic yards: (area x depth) / 324. Use Hello Gravel's material calculator or contact our team for help converting cubic yards to tons and confirming coverage for different materials; remember our minimum order is 3 tons.
Price depends on material type, quantity, delivery distance, site access, and whether you need next-day service or additional services like spreading. Hello Gravel shows transparent pricing and offers quotes for your zip code so you can compare options before ordering.
Yes, suppliers and contracted haulers typically deliver to residential neighborhoods in Ceres, CA, but delivery depends on truck access, street width, and local restrictions. Add delivery notes at checkout and our team will confirm access and the best drop location with your driver.
Spring through early fall is often ideal for landscaping and driveway work due to drier conditions and easier site access. Avoid scheduling heavy deliveries during or immediately after heavy rains when ground can be soft and truck access may be limited; our standard delivery window is 2+ business days with a next-day option available.
Same-week delivery is often possible depending on supplier stock and truck availability; next-day delivery is available for orders placed before noon CST for an additional fee. Check your zip code on our site or contact our team to see current availability and scheduling options.
Yes, city regulations and HOA rules can influence allowed materials, colors, and surface treatments. Before you order, check with your HOA or city planning department for any restrictions, and include permit considerations in your project timeline.
Compare materials by drainage performance, tendency to compact or migrate, dust and weed control needs, and long-term appearance. Combine proper base preparation, weed barrier fabric where appropriate, and sufficient depth to reduce maintenance across different material types like gravel, sand, dirt, stone.
Labor costs vary widely based on project scope, site prep, removal of existing material, grading, compaction, and edging requirements. Get multiple local estimates and factor in permit costs, disposal fees, and any special equipment needed for accurate budgeting.
Make sure driveways and access routes can support a loaded dump truck, clear overhead obstructions, and mark preferred drop spots in the notes. Drivers typically use tri-axle trucks and may offer tailgate spreading at their discretion, but spreading is not guaranteed.
Contact Hello Gravel as soon as possible to request changes; modifications are easiest before the order is processed or dispatched. We will do our best to accommodate changes, but some adjustments may not be possible once a truck is scheduled.
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. Enter your zip code on our site, select how much material you need (see below FAQ’s to determine order size), select the date and time frame you would like your material delivered at Checkout, and place your order with any major credit card. After the order is placed our in-house support team will contact you to confirm the details. We will send additional confirmations on the day before and the day of delivery.

No, because we are a national supplier, we utilize our existing network of suppliers across the country. Therefore, the materials will likely be delivered from a contracted trucking company.
We specialize in making the aggregate buying process as easy and seamless as possible by managing the process from end to end. We have a network of suppliers that we source the materials from where we have negotiated rates.
