Materials Available for Delivery
Mason Sand
A fine, clean sand for construction and masonry. Use it under pavers or turf, mix it into mortar or soil, or spread it across your lawn to smooth out bumps and low spots in your lawn.
#57 Crushed Stone
Multi-use crushed stone for home & landscape projects. Ranging from ¾” to 1” in size, #57 stone is a versatile product used for concrete production, drainage applications, driveways, parking lots, and as base material under slabs and footings. Large enough to provide drainage but small enough to lock together when applied and create a stable base and a relatively smooth surface.
Decomposed Granite
Known for its natural look, this compact, durable material drains well and holds up in high-traffic areas. Made from crushed and weathered granite down to a mix of fine gravel and sand—best for patios, paths, driveways, and landscape projects. Can range in color from light brown and tan to reddish and gray, depending on the natural stone color in the region.
Drain Rock
A larger 1 ½” crushed gravel that allows for water flow and drainage, preventing accumulation and pooling when properly installed. Perfect for french drains and other drainage applications, around utility lines, septic systems, sump pump basins and drainage pits.
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.

Why Fortuna Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Fortuna's city population of 11,630 and a measured growth rate of 0.40% annually point to steady, ongoing demand for home improvement and modest construction projects rather than a rapid building boom. That steady expansion means homeowners often focus on maintenance, incremental upgrades, and yard projects that improve durability and curb appeal. With an annual rainfall of 49.77 inches paired with 204/year sunny days and a USDA hardiness zone of 9a, local projects need materials that balance water management and plant health. Aggregates, soils, mulches, and sands are chosen not just for appearance but for their performance in wet seasons and under long stretch of sun. In this environment, quality bulk materials matter for drainage, erosion control, stable pathways, and healthy planting beds; picking the right combination affects long-term maintenance and project success.Popular Projects in Fortuna This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Fortuna Gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in Fortuna.
Homeowners in Fortuna often choose from a mix of gravel, sand, dirt, stone depending on the project goal—drainage, stability, or curb appeal. Choice depends on expected traffic, whether you need a compactable base or a decorative top layer, and local availability which affects color and texture. Use our material calculator and quiz to narrow options and contact our team for recommendations based on your site.
Fortuna has mild summers and wet winters, so drainage and erosion resistance are priorities when picking materials. Permeable aggregates help shed rainwater while fine dirt or sand can compact and hold moisture, so consider the slope, existing soil, and plant needs. Regional sourcing means materials will reflect local geology, so expect natural variation in color and texture.
Measure the length, width, and depth of the area to get cubic yards, then convert to tons using the material-specific density; allow 5-10% extra for compaction and waste. Contractors will also ask about access, finished elevation, and compaction requirements which affect quantity. If you prefer, use Hello Gravel’s calculator or contact our team with your dimensions for a quick estimate.
Common projects include driveways, patios, garden beds, drainage swales, and base layers for sheds or pavers. Small landscaping jobs often start at the 3-ton minimum, yard-scale projects typically need 3–6 tons, residential driveways commonly require 10–30 tons, and larger contractor jobs can be 50+ tons. Exact needs depend on depth, material type, and site conditions, so calculate before ordering.
Standard delivery is typically 2+ business days, and next-day delivery is available for orders placed before noon CST for an additional fee. Materials are delivered by local dump trucks (usually tri-axle) and you can choose your preferred delivery date at checkout. Delivery timing depends on supplier availability and local schedules, so confirm during booking.
Delivery cost depends on tonnage, distance from the supplier, access difficulty, and any special instructions like tight access or offloading by hand. Hello Gravel has a 3-ton minimum; many areas offer free delivery for typical residential orders, while more remote or difficult drops may incur an extra fee. For an accurate price, enter your zip code and delivery details at checkout or contact our team.
Drivers may be able to perform tailgate spreading at their discretion, and you should request this service at checkout so the driver knows your preference. The driver will assess safety and feasibility upon arrival, but spreading is not guaranteed and depends on site access and load size. If spreading is essential, plan for a separate landscaping crew or rental equipment.
Clear a drop zone with good access, remove vehicles and obstructions, and mark the preferred dump area with flags or cones so the driver can see it. Protect nearby landscaping, driveways, and structures with plywood if needed, and confirm there is adequate room for a tri-axle dump truck to turn and offload. Also check local permit requirements if you plan to store large amounts of material on the street or public right-of-way.
Natural materials reflect local geology, so color, texture, and size can vary from photos; this is normal with regionally sourced aggregates like gravel, sand, dirt, stone. If you have concerns, contact Hello Gravel customer service promptly with photos and delivery details so we can work with the supplier to resolve the issue. See our refund and issue-resolution guidance for next steps.
Contact our team as soon as possible—changes are easiest before the order is processed and dispatched. We will do our best to accommodate modifications but ability to change or cancel depends on supplier schedules and whether trucks are already assigned. If you need to adjust delivery details, notify us right away for the best outcome.
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.
