Why Crescent City Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Crescent City has a population of 16,167 and sits in a compact coastal metro area of 27,000 people with a measured growth rate of 0.20% annually. The local climate—about 74.00 inches of annual rainfall, roughly 150 sunny days per year, and USDA hardiness zone 9b—creates consistently moist soils and periodic storm runoff that drive demand for stable, well-draining surface materials. Homeowners and small contractors here frequently need aggregates to manage drainage, stabilize driveways, control erosion on slopes, and create durable pathways that stand up to wet seasons. Because coastal soils can be silty or clay-rich and heavy rain events can cause washouts, buyers prioritize gravel that offers good permeability, resists compaction, and matches local color and texture for a natural look.Popular Projects in Crescent City This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Crescent City gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in Crescent City.
Delivered prices change with market and supplier and can vary by size, color, and delivery distance. Hello Gravel provides live delivered pricing during checkout for Crescent City; request an online quote for exact rates and note that prices are shown per ton or per cubic yard, with roughly 1 cubic yard ≈ 1.4 tons for typical gravel.
For Crescent City's frequent rain, a compacted crushed-rock base (3/4" to 1-1/2" minus) with a 3/8" to 3/4" crushed surface works best because it drains well and locks together when compacted. Use a 4-6" compacted base for light residential use and 6-8" for heavier loads, and consider a coarser surface if you want better traction in wet conditions.
Most private-property gravel driveways in Crescent City do not require a building permit, but local rules apply if you alter the street apron, curb, or drainage or are in a protected coastal zone. Check with Crescent City Public Works and Del Norte County planning before work, especially for curb cuts, stormwater controls, or projects near wetlands or public right-of-way.
In Crescent City's wet coastal climate a layered approach works best: compacted crushed-rock base under a compacted surface gravel, and a geotextile fabric between soil and rock to limit mixing and weeds. Sand is generally a poor sole base in rainy areas because it can wash out; use sand only as a bedding layer for pavers, not as a structural base for driveways.
To estimate: multiply area (sq ft) by depth (ft) and divide by 27 to get cubic yards. For a 20x40 ft area (800 sq ft): 2" depth ≈ 5 cubic yards (≈ 7 tons), 3" depth ≈ 7.5 cubic yards (≈ 10.5 tons). Many suppliers, including Hello Gravel, will provide exact estimates in checkout or by request.
Hello Gravel's minimum order is 3 tons and deliveries are typically made by tri-axle dump truck. Standard access needs include a stable approach, about 12-14 ft of turning width and roughly 14 ft vertical clearance; tight access, long carry-ins, or restricted streets may incur additional fees, and drivers decide safe placement on arrival.
Yes, local contractors commonly provide grading, base installation, compaction, edging, and final spreading and compaction of gravel. Quotes typically list scope (excavation, base rock, surface material), material quantities, compaction and drainage work, and labor; get multiple quotes and ask for references and proof of insurance.
For Crescent City's rainy conditions crushed gravel is usually the better choice because it drains and locks together when compacted, resisting washout and puddling. Sand can be used under pavers as a bedding layer but is more prone to shifting and erosion on exposed paths and patios unless stabilized or contained by edging.
Local suppliers near Crescent City typically offer pea gravel, river rock, crushed stone (3/8" to 3/4"), and decomposed granite in colors that reflect regional geology, such as darker coastal rock and muted browns and tans. Hello Gravel can arrange delivery of these decorative options to Crescent City; add color or photo preferences in Order Notes when checking out.

This involves pulling the truck forward as material is being dumped to make it easier for you to distribute material after delivery.
