Why El Dorado Hills Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
El Dorado Hills, with a population of 48,250, is experiencing steady, manageable expansion—the 0.40% annual growth rate points to consistent homeowner investment in renovations, outdoor living upgrades, and selective infill rather than rapid new development. That demand is amplified by a broader metro population of 7.9+ million supporting services and trade capacity. Local climate and geography—about 204 sunny days per year, roughly 49.77 inches of annual rainfall, and USDA hardiness zone 9a—create a mixed challenge: materials must tolerate strong sun and dry summers while handling concentrated seasonal rains. For homeowners, this means leaning toward quality bulk supplies across the board—soil blends and topsoil for planting beds, well-graded aggregates for drainage and driveways, mulch for moisture retention, and stable base materials for hardscapes—to ensure durability, reduce maintenance, and prevent washouts or settling over time.Popular Projects in El Dorado Hills This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - El Dorado Hills Gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in El Dorado Hills.
Costs vary by material, quantity, and supplier, but expect to budget by the ton or cubic yard for gravel, sand, dirt, and stone. Regional pricing in El Dorado Hills may be higher than flatter regions because of local geology and hauling distances; use our online quote tool or request a local estimate to see current per-ton or per-yard pricing. Always include delivery fees and any spreading or access charges when planning your budget.
For slopes you generally want materials that resist erosion and allow drainage, such as angular crushed stone mixes or coarse aggregate blends. Stabilizing layers like coarse base material combined with top dressing can improve longevity for paths and driveways. Consider combining materials and edge restraints, and consult our material calculator to estimate quantities for slope projects.
El Dorado Hills has a Mediterranean climate with wet winters and dry summers, so choose materials that drain well and resist washing in heavy rains, such as coarse mixes or well-graded aggregates. Organic materials and fine sands can shift with seasonal moisture, so they may need compaction, edging, or periodic replenishing. Factor freeze–thaw is limited in this area, but winter storms can still move loose material on slopes or unconfined areas.
Standard delivery typically requires 2 or more business days, while next-day delivery may be available for orders placed before noon CST for an additional fee. Many suppliers have a minimum order around 3 tons, so small DIY jobs may need to plan for that minimum. Delivery is usually by dump truck; confirm vehicle type and access requirements when ordering.
Permitting depends on the scope of work and local rules; simple deliveries and resurfacing usually do not need a permit, but substantial grading, retaining walls, or changes to drainage may. Check with El Dorado Hills or El Dorado County planning and public works before starting projects that alter slopes, drainage, or public right-of-way. If in doubt, call local permitting offices to verify requirements.
Late spring through early fall is often ideal for deliveries and installations because ground is drier and crews can compact and finish surfaces more easily. Winter months bring more rain, which can delay installations and increase the risk of erosion for loose materials. Plan ahead for peak season weekends and request delivery dates in advance to secure your slot.
Clayey or compacted soils common in some local areas can hold water, so materials that promote infiltration and stable drainage—such as coarse aggregates or layered systems with base and surface materials—work better. Adding a permeable base or using materials that encourage runoff away from structures will reduce standing water and erosion. A simple site assessment can help determine whether subgrade work, grading, or geotextile fabric is needed.
Many haulers offer optional services like tailgate spreading, wheelbarrow or trailer offloads, and basic cleanup at the driver's discretion, but these are not guaranteed and may incur extra fees. For tasks like thorough spreading, compaction, or hauling away old material, you may need to hire local contractors. Request any additional services at checkout and confirm expectations with the delivery team.
Commercial-grade materials are usually more consistent and engineered for heavy use, so they cost more upfront but often last longer for driveways, drainage bases, and high-traffic areas. Consumer-grade or landscape mixes are more affordable and suitable for decorative beds, small pathways, and light-duty applications. Match the material grade to the intended use to balance cost and performance.
Deliveries to steep or narrow driveways are possible but depend on site access and truck maneuverability; drivers may not be able to back into tight spaces and may need to offload in the street or use additional equipment. Some sites require smaller trucks, longer hoses, or manual spreading, which can add fees. Provide clear access details and photos when ordering so the supplier can advise on logistics and any extra charges.
Start by identifying the project's goal—drainage, erosion control, load-bearing, or aesthetics—and pick materials that match those needs, such as coarse aggregates for drainage or finer mixes for leveling. Use our material calculator and quiz to estimate quantities and get recommendations based on local conditions. If you are unsure, contact our team with project details and photos for tailored guidance.
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.
