Why Folsom Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Folsom, with a city population of 75,594 and part of a metro area of 2.5+ million, is experiencing steady growth at about 1.00% annually—a pace that fuels consistent demand for home improvement and small-scale construction projects rather than a sudden building boom. In this Mediterranean-climate community, with 228 sunny days and about 34.25 inches of annual rainfall, homeowners and contractors balance long, dry summers with seasonal rains. Those conditions make choices about bulk materials more consequential: drainage rock and well-graded base materials reduce erosion during episodic storms, amended soils and mulch conserve moisture in summer, and sand or engineered fills help with grading and compaction for patios and driveways. The region’s hardiness zone (8b) supports a wide range of plantings, so materials that support planting beds and irrigation lines are in demand. Overall, the combination of measured population growth, steady housing activity, and local climate means reliable access to quality bulk supplies is essential for durable, low-maintenance outdoor projects.Popular Projects in Folsom This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Folsom Gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in Folsom.
Homeowners and contractors in Folsom commonly order bulk quantities of gravel, sand, dirt, stone and similar aggregates for driveways, paths, grading, patios, backfill, and erosion control. Local projects tend to favor materials that balance drainage and appearance because of the region's landscaping styles. Keep in mind that materials are regionally sourced so texture and color may vary.
Folsom’s Mediterranean climate—hot, dry summers and wetter winters—means materials must handle wet-dry cycles and seasonal runoff. Materials that drain well reduce erosion and pooling during winter rains, while components that compact reliably resist washout. Consider grading and drainage design along with material choice to improve long-term performance.
For better drainage, use coarser, free-draining aggregates combined with proper slope and grading. For erosion-prone slopes, combine aggregate with erosion-control measures like geotextile fabric, edging, retaining walls, or vegetation. Match the material size and placement to the site's slope, water flow, and access needs rather than picking by appearance alone.
Measure the area (length x width) and decide on the required depth in inches, then convert to cubic yards; densities vary so tons-to-yards differs by material. Hello Gravel’s online material calculator can estimate quantities, and our sales team can help refine the amount. Note our minimum order is 3 tons and regional density differences may change the final tonnage.
Bulk aggregates work well for driveways, walkways, base layers for pavers, yard regrading, garden beds, and erosion control on slopes near foothills and lake areas. Depths and construction methods differ by use—base layers for driveways are deeper than decorative paths—so plan depth, compaction, and drainage accordingly. Smaller landscaping accents and planting mixes are also common homeowner uses.
Standard delivery is 2+ business days, with a next-day option available for orders placed before noon CST for an additional fee. Materials are delivered by contracted dump trucks (typically tri-axle) and regional sourcing means availability can vary by supplier. We provide a delivery date during checkout and will confirm before dispatch.
Ensure the delivery site has truck access, clear overhead obstacles, and firm ground for heavy vehicles; narrow lanes, steep driveways, and soft lawns can prevent safe dumping. Specify desired drop location in the order notes and mark utilities or delicate areas to avoid. Tailgate spreading may be requested at checkout but is at the driver's discretion and not guaranteed.
Yes; spring through fall is generally the best window for most outdoor projects, while winter brings higher rain risk that can delay deliveries or make sites muddy. High demand in spring and early summer can push lead times up, so plan and reserve materials early. Hot summer days can affect work pacing and handling for some materials.
Possibly—some Folsom neighborhoods and HOAs have rules about visible surfacing, colors, or permeable materials, and certain grading or drainage changes may require city permits. Check with the City of Folsom planning department and your HOA before ordering to ensure compliance. When in doubt, get written approval or consult a contractor familiar with local rules.
Choose a contractor for large volumes, complicated grading, compacting, drainage design, or when permits are required; they have equipment and experience with local site conditions. DIY can work for small, straightforward jobs under the minimum order size or when you have help and the right tools. For either option, accurate quantity estimates and clear delivery instructions will reduce waste and rework.
Material size, compaction, and drainage directly affect how often you need to refill, regrade, or remove weeds. Well-chosen, well-installed aggregates with proper edging and drainage require less maintenance and resist displacement during storms. Plan for occasional top-ups and incorporate edging or stabilizers if low maintenance is a priority.
Natural variation in color and texture is common because materials are sourced locally, so compare delivered material to the description rather than expecting an exact image match. If there is a problem, contact Hello Gravel customer service promptly with photos and details so we can work with the supplier and hauler to resolve the issue per our support process. Keep delivery notes and the ticket number handy when reporting issues.
As of today, we require 2 business days for delivery.

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