Frequently Asked Questions - Foresthill gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in Foresthill.
Prices vary by material and supplier, but as a ballpark expect common gravels in the Foresthill area to run about $40 to $80 per ton delivered. Ten cubic yards is roughly 13 to 14 tons, so that load would typically cost in the range of about $520 to $1,120, including delivery in many cases. For an accurate price and availability in Foresthill (zip code check recommended), get a personalized quote through our site.
Delivery for a dump truck load usually follows the per-ton price plus any optional spreading fee. Drivers may offer tailgate spreading at their discretion and some suppliers charge an extra fee for spreading or for more precise placement; costs vary, so ask for a line-item quote. Contact Hello Gravel to confirm if spreading is available for your address and to get the exact delivered-and-spread price.
Rounded river gravel is often cheaper where it is locally abundant, while crushed stone tends to cost more because it is processed. For a driveway, crushed stone or crusher-run mixes usually perform better because they lock together and compact, giving better stability on Foresthill's hilly and rain-prone terrain. Choose crushed material for vehicle areas and rounded gravel for decorative borders or drainage features.
A 20×20 driveway is 400 square feet. For 2 inches of coverage you would need about 3.5 tons; for a more durable driveway use 3 to 4 inches (about 5.2 to 7 tons). Using the earlier price range ($40–$80 per ton), expect material-only costs roughly $200–$560 for the amount needed at 3 to 4 inches, plus delivery and any spreading fees.
Two inches is usually too thin for a driveway in Foresthill; it works for footpaths or temporary surfaces but not for regular vehicle traffic. For passenger cars on a compacted base, aim for 3 to 4 inches of finished gravel; for heavier trucks or poor subgrade, 4 to 6 inches plus a compacted base layer is better. Also prepare a stable base and grade for proper drainage given Foresthill's seasonal rain.
A practical rule: 1 ton of typical gravel is roughly 0.7 cubic yards and will cover about 110 to 120 square feet at 2 inches depth. At 3 inches depth expect about 70 to 80 square feet per ton, and at 4 inches about 55 to 60 square feet per ton. Use these numbers to calculate quantities, then round up and remember Hello Gravel's minimum order is 3 tons.
Locally available pit run or base gravel tends to be the cheapest option because it is minimally processed. While economical, these mixes may contain fines and larger particles that can rut or migrate if not properly graded and compacted, so they are best used with a compacted subbase or underlayment for driveways. If you want a low-cost driveway that holds up, ask for a crusher-run or road-base mix and plan on proper compaction.
Cheaper alternatives to decorative gravel include compacted crusher-run, reclaimed asphalt, or a simple graded dirt base; these can lower material costs but may need more maintenance. Paving options like asphalt or concrete cost more up-front but can reduce long-term maintenance; decomposed granite is another mid-cost option with a smoother finish. Compare lifecycle costs and consider Foresthill's drainage and slope before choosing; Hello Gravel can help estimate material and delivery costs for each option.
Yes, our network of local suppliers delivers to Foresthill, CA, but availability depends on your zip code and local supplier schedules. Typical minimum order is 3 tons; standard delivery lead time is 2+ business days, and next-day delivery may be available for orders placed before noon CST for an extra fee. Delivery is by dump trucks (usually tri-axle); drivers may provide tailgate spreading at their discretion, but ask at checkout if you need spreading or special placement.
Yes, there are stabilized gravel products and polymer-bound mixes that bind the aggregate and reduce displacement, giving a firmer surface that behaves more like a semi-rigid pavement. These mixes can be a good choice on slopes or where erosion is a concern in Foresthill, but they cost more and may require professional installation and specific maintenance. If you want a very durable, low-maintenance driveway, discuss stabilized options with our team so we can match suppliers and provide pricing.
Provide a clear delivery address, best access route, and any gate codes or narrow-road warnings for Foresthill's hilly streets. Tell us your desired finished depth, whether you want tailgate spreading requested at checkout, and any placement notes (avoid driveway aprons, near trees, etc.). Confirm the minimum order (3 tons) and expected lead time, and ask for a written quote that lists material, delivery, and any spreading fees.
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.
The minimum order size is 3 tons.
