Known for its natural look, this compact, durable material drains well and holds up in high-traffic areas.

Walkway Gravel
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 Forestville Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Forestville, with a population of 4,420, sits in a temperate pocket of West California that combines steady growth (0.40% annually) with outdoor-friendly weather—about 228 sunny days per year and 34.25 inches of annual rainfall in hardiness zone 8b. That mix of sun and seasonal rain drives demand for durable, well-draining landscaping materials: homeowners replace worn lawns with low-maintenance yards, upgrade driveways, and add drainage solutions around foundations and garden beds. Gravel is often chosen because it manages runoff, resists rutting under wet conditions, and complements the region’s mix of suburban and semi-rural properties. Whether you are refreshing a pathway, stabilizing a slope, or surfacing a driveway, local aggregates answer both aesthetic and performance needs in Forestville’s climate and growth pattern.Popular Projects in Forestville This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Forestville gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in Forestville.
Expect price ranges rather than exact quotes: 3/4" crushed rock typically runs about $35 to $70 per ton ($45 to $95 per cubic yard), pea gravel about $40 to $85 per ton ($50 to $110 per cubic yard), and decomposed granite about $30 to $65 per ton ($40 to $85 per cubic yard). Prices vary with local quarry supply, color/grade, seasonal demand, and delivery distance; call Hello Gravel for a firm local quote and note we have a 3-ton minimum order.
Hello Gravel connects you to vetted local suppliers, landscapers, and hauling contractors across West California who deliver bulk gravel and often recommend installers. For installation, look for local landscape contractors or driveway specialists in Sonoma County; contact our team for supplier options and contractor referrals for Forestville projects.
Forestville’s dry summers and wet winters increase dust in summer and potential erosion in winter, so choose angular crushed rock or stabilized decomposed granite to reduce movement and dust. Regular maintenance—periodic raking, topping up, and ensuring proper drainage—helps control weeds and washout after rain or heavy runoff.
Yes, some driveway alterations and significant grading in Forestville may trigger Sonoma County permits or stormwater controls through the Permit and Resource Management Department (PRMD). Check with PRMD or your local planning office before major driveway work, and design driveways to minimize runoff with proper grading, drainage features, and permeable surfacing where required.
For sloped driveways, start with a stable base of 1 to 1.5" crushed rock for load-bearing, then top with 3/4" crushed rock or angular gravel to lock in place; larger 1.5" minus rock helps on steep, high-erosion spots. Combine gravel with geotextile fabric, drainage swales, or retaining features and consider polymeric stabilizers or cellular confinement for severe slopes in Forestville’s rainfall-prone winter season.
Measure area (length x width) and desired depth in inches, then convert to cubic yards: (length ft x width ft x depth in) / 324 = cubic yards. Multiply cubic yards by about 1.4 to get tons (typical density for crushed gravel); for example, a 20 ft by 10 ft patio at 2" depth needs (20 x 10 x 2)/324 = 1.23 yd3, roughly 1.7 tons. Remember Hello Gravel minimums (3 tons) and round up for compaction and spillage.
Decorative gravels like river rock and colored crushed stone generally cost more due to selection and processing, often running on the higher end of local price ranges; structural materials (base rock, crusher fines) are usually cheaper and stocked in larger quantities. Availability depends on nearby quarries in West California, so seasonal demand and regional sourcing affect both cost and lead time—ask Hello Gravel for current local inventory and pricing.
Forestville properties often have narrow rural roads, tight driveways, and weight or county restrictions, so provide clear access notes when ordering—include gate widths, overhead lines, steep grades, and preferred drop location. Drivers use tri-axle dump trucks; if access is limited, consider staging areas on public roads (with permits if needed) or request that contractors move material with smaller equipment after delivery.
Tailgate spreading may be available at the driver’s discretion and should be requested at checkout, but Hello Gravel does not guarantee spreading services. Drivers will assess safety and access upon arrival; for precise spreading or compacting on sloped Forestville sites, plan for a contractor to finish grading and compacting.
Polymeric stabilizers and resin binders, cellular confinement grids, and proper geotextile underlayments are effective in reducing washout and dust on Forestville slopes. Choose a product rated for local climate and traffic, and consult local suppliers or contractors for application best practices to ensure compatibility with regional materials and drainage conditions.
Yes. Summer demand, wildfire-related road closures, and wet winter conditions can all impact quarry operations, truck access, and delivery lead times to Forestville. Standard Hello Gravel delivery is 2+ business days with next-day options (if ordered before noon CST), but expect longer lead times during high-demand or restricted-access periods—check availability when you order.
Use inorganic gravels like crushed rock or decomposed granite for areas within defensible space instead of mulches; keep a clear, compacted gravel zone 3 to 5 feet from foundations to reduce fuel for fire. Maintain the area by removing leaves and debris, and follow Sonoma County defensible space guidelines when planning gravel landscaping near structures.
As of today, we require 2 business days for delivery.
