Why Citrus Heights Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Citrus Heights, with a population of 75,613, sits in the broader Sacramento-Roseville region that supports a 2.5+ million regional market and is experiencing steady growth of 1.00% annually. That steady expansion translates into ongoing demand for residential and small-scale commercial projects—everything from driveway repairs and backyard upgrades to new landscaping and accessory structures. In Citrus Heights’s Mediterranean climate (228/year sunny days and 34.25 inches of annual rainfall, hardiness zone 8b), homeowners need materials that perform through hot, dry summers and wetter winters. Quality bulk supplies—gravel, dirt, sand, mulch, and stone—matter here because they affect drainage, erosion control, plant health, and the longevity of paved surfaces. Sourcing locally appropriate materials helps ensure color, texture, and performance match local soils and weather patterns. Local climate and seasonal weather create practical requirements: materials must handle alternating dry and wet conditions, resist UV and weathering, and support proper drainage during rain events. Those conditions influence choices like well-graded bases for driveways, soils and mulches that retain moisture while preventing compaction, and aggregates that allow infiltration to reduce runoff. For homeowners, that means selecting materials with the right gradation and durability rather than choosing solely on color or price. Hello Gravel helps by connecting you to regional suppliers, offering material calculators and guidance, and coordinating delivery so you can pick the right products for Citrus Heights conditions.Popular Projects in Citrus Heights This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Citrus Heights Gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in Citrus Heights.
Prices depend on material type, quantity, distance from local suppliers, and site access. Job-specific needs like spreading, permit requirements, and next-day delivery options also affect cost. Hello Gravel shows transparent pricing at checkout and recommends requesting a quote for an accurate cost estimate.
Hello Gravel connects you with trusted local suppliers and haulers that serve the Citrus Heights and Sacramento-Roseville area. Availability varies by zip code, so enter your address to see nearby suppliers and regional material options. Regional sourcing means texture and color may vary from online photos.
Hot, dry summers and wet winters mean you should consider drainage, dust control, and heat tolerance when choosing materials. Permeable aggregates help manage winter runoff and reduce erosion, while darker, fine materials can dry and compact in summer. Local suppliers can advise on which materials perform best in the area's climate.
Spring and fall are often easiest for deliveries and installation because weather is milder and the ground is workable. Citrus Heights has relatively mild winters, but avoid scheduling large installs during heavy rain windows to reduce mud and erosion issues. Plan ahead—standard delivery requires 2+ business days and next-day service is available for orders placed before noon CST for an extra fee.
You may need city permits or HOA approval for driveway changes, new hardscaping, or large grading projects. Rules vary by neighborhood and HOA, so check Citrus Heights municipal codes and your HOA guidelines before ordering materials. Getting approvals ahead of time avoids delays and extra costs.
Calculate the area (length x width), decide the desired depth, and convert to cubic yards (area x depth in feet ÷ 27). Because tons and cubic yards vary by material and regional density, use Hello Gravel's material calculator or contact support with project dimensions for a tailored estimate. Always order a little extra for compaction, grading, and waste.
Hello Gravel typically requires a 3-ton minimum and offers standard delivery in 2+ business days, with a next-day option for qualifying orders. Expect access restrictions for narrow streets, low overhead wires, gated entries, steep driveways, and residential parking rules; these can lead to extra fees or alternative drop locations. Provide delivery notes and photos at checkout to help haulers plan.
Low-maintenance, well-draining materials can reduce long-term upkeep and appeal to buyers in the Sacramento-Roseville market. Materials that match local style and solve practical problems like drainage and weed control tend to add more value than purely decorative options. Consider lifecycle costs—watering, edging, and periodic replenishment—when selecting materials.
DIY can save on labor for small projects if you have basic tools and time, but contractors bring expertise for grading, compaction, drainage, and permits on larger or more technical jobs. Compare material-only costs from Hello Gravel with contractor quotes that include installation to choose the most cost-effective option for your needs. For complex slopes, drainage solutions, or HOA-regulated work, contractors are often the safer choice.
Use a layered approach: stable base material, geotextile fabric where needed, and coarser aggregates at the surface to slow runoff and resist washout. Terracing, retaining elements, and proper grading to direct water away from structures also help control erosion. For steeper sites, consult a professional to design the right combination of materials and drainage features.
Material delivery typically takes 2+ business days for standard service, with next-day delivery available for orders placed before noon CST for an extra fee. Installation time varies widely by project size and whether you hire a contractor; small DIY jobs may be done in a day, while larger landscaping or driveway projects can take several days to weeks. Coordinate delivery timing with your installer and allow extra time for permits, site prep, and weather delays.
Contact Hello Gravel as soon as possible—changes are easiest before your order is dispatched and we will do our best to accommodate requests. If there is a delivery problem, notify customer service promptly so we can work with the supplier and hauler to resolve it. Review our refund policy for details on eligible situations and next steps.
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.
