Materials Available for Delivery
Crushed Concrete
Recycled concrete aggregate for construction & landscaping. Often used for road base and sub-base applications, as fill material, and for erosion control. Typically 1 ½” down to fines.
Road Base
(Class 5 | ABC | Crusher Run) A mixture of crushed limestone or granite, gravel, and sand, ranging from 1 ½” in size down to fines (small particles). Commonly used for constructing roads, driveway bases, parking lots, and other paved and unpaved surfaces. Intended to be compacted, hence the inclusion of fines within the material to provide support and be resistant to erosion and shifting.
Black Shredded Mulch
Rich black shredded hardwood mulch made from oak, hickory, and maple. Holds in moisture, blocks weeds, and gives your garden beds a bold look that makes green plants and colorful flowers stand out.
#57 Crushed Stone
Multi-use crushed stone for home & landscape projects. Ranging from ¾” to 1” in size, #57 stone is a versatile product used for concrete production, drainage applications, driveways, parking lots, and as base material under slabs and footings. Large enough to provide drainage but small enough to lock together when applied and create a stable base and a relatively smooth surface.
Garden Soil
Premium garden soil enriched with organic matter—essential for vigorous, healthy plant growth. Ideal for filling gardens, building raised beds, and enhancing tired or compacted soil. Fulfillment 20-40% organic is ideal

Why Ducor Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Ducor is a small, steadily growing community (city population: 870) where modest demand for home improvement and small-scale construction projects reflects a measured expansion (growth rate: 0.40% annually). That steady growth means more homeowners investing in durable outdoor spaces, low-maintenance yards, and practical infrastructure upgrades rather than rapid new development. The local climate—about 204 sunny days per year and annual rainfall of 49.77 inches in a hardiness zone 9a—creates a mix of needs: materials must stand up to prolonged sun exposure while also managing occasional heavy rains. For Ducor homeowners, that translates into a preference for reliable bulk supplies—soil amendments for plant health, aggregates for drainage and stabilizing walkways, topsoil for raised beds, and mulches that reduce evaporation. Choosing the right bulk materials improves longevity and reduces maintenance, so sourcing quality, locally matched aggregates and soils matters more here than simply buying the cheapest option.Popular Projects in Ducor This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Ducor Gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in Ducor.
Start by matching the material to the job: think about drainage, load-bearing needs, appearance, and maintenance. For most jobs you can choose among gravel, sand, dirt, stone to control drainage, create stable bases, or topdress beds; regional sourcing means texture and color will reflect local geology. If you are unsure, use our material calculator or contact the sales team for guidance on which mix and amount suit your project.
Buy locally sourced materials and order only what you need to avoid waste; Hello Gravel lists transparent prices so you can compare options quickly. Consider reclaimed or recycled aggregates and mixing coarser base materials with a finer finish material to cut costs while keeping function. Remember our minimum order is 3 tons, so plan quantities to make the most of each delivery.
Clear a path and mark the preferred drop zone so a tri-axle dump truck has safe access and room to maneuver. Remove cars and obstacles, flag buried utilities if you plan a deep spread, and note any overhead wires or tight turns on your property. If you want tailgate spreading, request it at checkout and the driver will assess whether it can be done safely; there are no guarantees.
The rule of 3 is a design guideline that groups elements in threes to create visual balance and interest. For materials, choose up to three complementary textures or colors from gravel, sand, dirt, stone to create contrast between hardscape, pathways, and planting areas. Keep proportions simple—one dominant material, one secondary, and one accent—to make installation and future maintenance easier.
You may find low-cost or free materials through local construction surplus, municipality cushion programs, community reclamation sites, or neighbor giveaways. Suppliers sometimes have off-spec or leftover loads at reduced prices—ask your Hello Gravel representative about options in your area. We can also recommend mixes that achieve the look you want while staying within budget.
A common 70/30 guideline suggests using roughly 70% base soil with 30% amendments to improve structure and drainage, but exact ratios depend on your soil and plants. For beds where drainage matters, blending in materials like gravel, sand, dirt, stone can help adjust porosity and compaction. Test a small area or consult our team for recommended blends for Ducor's local soils and climate.
The '3-hour' idea is a time-management approach—break work into manageable blocks so you can install material, shape beds, and tidy up without rushing. For deliveries, schedule them for a time when you or your contractor can use a 2-3 hour window to handle the drop, move material, or approve spreading. Avoid hottest midday hours in summer and communicate arrival windows so you're ready when the hauler shows up.
Small garden beds or pathways often start around 3 tons (our minimum order) while a driveway base or larger patio can require 10 to 30 tons depending on depth and area. Use our material calculator for a precise estimate based on square footage and desired depth, and contact sales if you need help converting cubic yards to tons for gravel, sand, dirt, stone mixes. Planning ahead prevents overordering and saves on return or disposal hassles.
Standard delivery is scheduled for 2+ business days after ordering, and next-day delivery may be available for orders placed before noon CST for an extra fee. You can pick your preferred delivery date in checkout and we will confirm with the local supplier and contracted hauler. Keep in mind delivery windows are estimates; we coordinate closely with drivers but do not guarantee exact arrival times.
Drivers may perform tailgate spreading at their discretion; request the service at checkout, and the driver will assess safety and feasibility upon arrival. Deliveries are made by contracted dump-truck fleets (typically tri-axle) and regional sourcing means color and texture can vary from photos. If you need a specific spread pattern, mark the area clearly and be available to guide the driver; we do not guarantee spreading or a white-glove finish.
Materials reflect the geology and climate of West California, so color, grain size, and consistency can vary from images or other regions. These regional differences rarely affect performance and can actually help materials perform better in local soils and weather. If appearance is critical, add visual preferences in Order Notes or ask for photos before delivery to set expectations.
As of today, we require 2 business days for delivery.

The material will be delivered via dump truck. If your order is under 20 tons, then it will likely be just one dump truck load. If your order is more than 20 tons, it will be more than one dump truck load.

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.

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.
