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.
Road Base

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.

Why Etna Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Etna is a small but growing community of 1,610 residents located in a region that sees steady expansion and practical landscaping needs. With a growth rate of 0.80% annually and a nearby metro area of 2.7+ million, homeowners are updating driveways, building durable paths, and improving yard drainage as properties evolve. Etna's climate—228/year sunny days and 34.25 inches of rain—combined with USDA hardiness zone 8b means outdoor projects must balance sun exposure and periodic heavy rainfall. That mix drives demand for reliable, low-maintenance aggregates: gravel provides long-lasting surface stability, reduces muddy patches after storms, and complements drought-tolerant planting schemes that thrive in this climate. Gravel is well suited to Etna's conditions because it sheds water quickly, resists rutting under intermittent wet spells, and holds up under frequent sun. Homeowners commonly use it for driveways, walkways, French drains, and as a base for pavers. Hello Gravel connects Etna residents with local suppliers and scheduled dump-truck delivery so you can source gravel that reflects local geology and arrive when you need it. We make ordering simple, help match the right gravel to site conditions, and coordinate delivery timing to fit your project schedule.Popular Projects in Etna This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Etna gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in Etna.
Final cost varies by material type, supplier, and distance from local quarries. Hello Gravel requires a minimum order of 3 tons and typically delivers by tri-axle dump truck (full loads often range 10-14 tons depending on local truck limits), and a full truckload usually has a lower per-ton price than small loads. For an exact delivered price to Etna, enter your zip code on our site or request a quote so we can show current local supplier pricing and delivery fees.
Pricing is set by local suppliers and depends on the gravel type (pea gravel, crushed stone, etc.), so per-ton and per-cubic-yard rates fluctuate regionally. We commonly price by the ton and many suppliers offer lower per-ton rates for larger orders; contact our team or get an online quote to see any available bulk discounts for Etna deliveries. Remember that 1 cubic yard is about 0.7-0.8 tons depending on material density, so quotes will note units clearly.
For a simple example: a 20-foot long by 10-foot wide driveway at 3 inches deep requires about 1.85 cubic yards, roughly 2.5-2.8 tons. Because Hello Gravel has a 3-ton minimum, you would order 3 tons for that size, which will give a little extra material for compaction and grading. Hello Gravel manages delivery but not guaranteed installation; tailgate spreading may be available at the driver’s discretion, and professional spreading/compaction costs vary by contractor—contact local installers for firm labor estimates.
In Etna’s Northern California climate, 2 inches is generally too thin for a long-term driveway, especially where moisture and freeze-thaw or vehicle traffic are factors. We recommend 3 inches for light-use driveways and 4-6 inches with a compacted base for heavier vehicles or poorer subsoil. Also consider a compacted road base or crushed rock underlayer for better drainage and longevity.
Yes—gravel can be dumped directly onto dirt if the delivery area is accessible and the surface is prepared to accept material. Hello Gravel schedules delivery by contracted dump trucks and drivers may perform tailgate spreading at their discretion if requested at checkout, but spreading and compaction are not guaranteed services. For spreading and compaction, we recommend hiring a local contractor or renting a plate compactor to ensure a proper finished surface.
A full truckload is usually the most cost-effective option on a per-ton basis because hauling costs are spread over more material, but that depends on your exact quantity needs and site access. Hello Gravel’s minimum order is 3 tons, and we do provide smaller loads above that minimum; pricing and whether per-ton or per-cubic-yard pricing is cheaper will depend on the supplier quote for your Etna zip code. If you only need a small amount, ask for a small-load quote and compare the per-ton cost to a larger order to decide.
Yes, many Etna-area suppliers offer lower-cost alternatives such as recycled crushed concrete, road base, and screened fill, which can be suitable for driveways and sub-bases. These materials may be cheaper but can have different drainage or aesthetics compared to virgin crushed stone, so check suitability for your project. Ask for product descriptions and photos when requesting a quote so you know what you are ordering.
Avoid pea gravel for driveways in Etna if you need a stable surface for vehicles, because rounded pea stone can shift and rut under traffic. For driveways, we recommend 3/4" crushed rock, crushed stone with fines, or compacted road base to provide stability and drainage. Pea gravel is great for decorative paths, borders, and play areas where a softer, rounded look is desired but not for heavy vehicle traffic.
Coverage depends on material density, but a good rule of thumb is: 1 cubic yard covers about 324 sq ft at 1", 162 sq ft at 2", and 108 sq ft at 3". Since gravel typically weighs about 1.4 tons per cubic yard, 1 ton will cover roughly 231 sq ft at 1", 115 sq ft at 2", and 77 sq ft at 3". Use these numbers for estimates but adjust for the specific material and compaction when ordering for an Etna project.
Hello Gravel provides scheduled delivery and online or phone quotes that reflect local supplier pricing, and you can choose a delivery date at checkout. We do not routinely provide on-site installation as a standard service; drivers may do tailgate spreading at their discretion but spreading and compaction are not guaranteed. For on-site estimates and full installation, we can help connect you with local contractors or you can request a separate installation quote from a local professional.
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.
