Why Folsom Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Folsom, with a city population of 75,594, sits within the growing Sacramento-Roseville metro area of 2.5+ million and is seeing steady development driven by a 1.00% annual growth rate. Its Mediterranean climate (USDA hardiness zone 8b) brings hot, dry summers and mild, wet winters, with about 225 sunny days per year and average rainfall around 34.40 inches. Those weather patterns, combined with suburban expansion and residential renovation, create demand for reliable aggregates. Homeowners in Folsom look for quality gravel to improve drainage, stabilize driveways, prevent erosion on sloped lots, and create low-maintenance hardscapes that stand up to seasonal rains and long dry spells. Gravel is especially practical in Folsom’s mix of clay and loamy soils because it promotes drainage, reduces surface runoff during the region’s 34.40-inch rainy season, and resists dust in the 225 sunny-day summers. For patios, pathways, driveways, and french drains, angular crushed gravel and well-graded mixes perform well here. Hello Gravel connects Folsom homeowners to local suppliers and professional haulers, offering transparent pricing, scheduled dump-truck delivery, and a minimum order of 3 tons so you get the right material, locally sourced, and delivered when you need it.Popular Projects in Folsom This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Folsom gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in Folsom.
Prices vary by material, delivery distance, and supplier, but a 10-yard load delivered to Folsom typically ranges from about $700 to $1,200. Decorative gravels and specialty mixes are toward the higher end, while crushed base rock is toward the lower end. Request a quote through Hello Gravel for an exact price and delivery window.
In the Sacramento-Roseville area one ton of bulk gravel commonly ranges from about $35 to $100 depending on type. Basic crushed rock is usually $35 to $60 per ton while decorative or colored gravels can be $60 to $100 per ton. Remember Hello Gravel has a minimum order of 3 tons for delivery.
For the best price, order bulk material (tons) delivered by dump truck rather than buying bags. Choose a locally sourced base rock or crush rather than decorative stone, order at least the 3-ton minimum, and schedule delivery for a weekday when haulers are more available. Use Hello Gravel's calculator and compare material options to balance cost and performance.
A 50 lb bag of gravel contains roughly 0.5 cubic feet of material. At a 2-inch depth that covers about 3 square feet; at a 1-inch depth it covers about 6 square feet. For most landscaping beds in Folsom you'll save money by ordering bulk if you need more than a few bags.
A standard tri-axle dump truck (about 10 to 12 cubic yards) delivered to Folsom typically costs in the $700 to $1,300 range, depending on material type and haul distance. Exact pricing depends on supplier, truck availability, and any access challenges at your site. Get a live quote from Hello Gravel for a precise delivered price.
No, 2 inches is generally too thin for a residential driveway. For light-use driveways 3 to 4 inches of compacted gravel is typical, and for heavier vehicle traffic 4 to 6 inches is recommended along with a well-prepared base and proper drainage. Folsom's seasonal rain and occasional heavy loads make a thicker compacted section advisable to minimize rutting.
For a 100 ft long driveway at a typical single-car width of 10 ft: • 3-inch depth: volume = 100 x 10 x 0.25 ft = 250 cu ft = 9.3 yd3, which is about 13 tons. • 4-inch depth: volume = 100 x 10 x 0.333 ft = 333 cu ft = 12.3 yd3, about 17 tons. These use an approximate conversion of 1 cubic yard = 1.4 tons; adjust if you choose a denser or lighter material.
You can install small gravel projects yourself if you have basic tools, time, and ability to move and spread material. Hire a contractor if you need grading, compaction, drainage work, or a larger delivery (remember heavy lifting and machine use). For delivery and optional tailgate spreading request, order through Hello Gravel and note that driver spreading is at their discretion.
Costs vary by site prep, material, and labor. For a small 20 ft long by 10 ft wide driveway (about 200 sq ft) expect material needs of roughly 2 to 4 tons and material-only costs often between $150 and $400; full installation with grading, base prep, and compaction typically runs from about $500 to $1,800. Ask Hello Gravel for material pricing and get local contractor estimates for installation to get an accurate total.
It depends on the truck. One cubic yard of gravel weighs roughly 2,500 to 3,000 pounds, so many half-ton pickups cannot safely carry that weight; 3/4-ton or 1-ton trucks are more likely to handle a full cubic yard. Always check your truck's payload rating before loading and consider using Hello Gravel delivery for larger orders.
Because Hello Gravel sources materials regionally, color and texture reflect local geology and can vary from online photos. Photos are representative; expect natural variation in shade, size, and mix. If color is important, add notes at checkout and ask customer service for local supplier details before ordering.
Standard delivery is 2 or more business days from order processing, and next-day delivery is available for orders placed before noon CST for an extra fee. Delivery timing also depends on supplier and truck availability in the Folsom area. Choose your preferred date in the checkout calendar and contact Hello Gravel if you need an expedited option.
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.
