Why Fresno Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Fresno (city population 510,651; metro area population 2.5+ million) sits in California's Central Valley at a moment of steady growth. A 0.40% annual growth rate points to steady, incremental demand for housing updates, yard renovations, and small-scale infill construction rather than a rapid building boom. Combined with a Mediterranean climate—228 sunny days per year and 34.25 inches of annual rainfall in USDA hardiness zone 8b—homeowners need materials that handle both long, hot dry stretches and episodic wet seasons. That means choosing bulk supplies that support water-wise landscaping, reliable drainage, and durable outdoor surfaces. From topsoil and mulch for planting beds to sand and gravel for pathways and drainage trenches, quality, locally sourced aggregates help projects last longer and perform better in Fresno’s mix of sun and seasonal rain. Local climate and weather patterns shape material performance and project planning. With 228 sunny days and warm growing conditions in hardiness zone 8b, UV exposure and drought stress influence choices for surfacing, mulches, and groundcovers; 34.25 inches of rain annually means occasional heavy flows that demand attention to grading and drainage. Homeowners should prioritize materials that offer stability, appropriate particle size for compaction and permeability, and compatibility with irrigation plans. Hello Gravel simplifies this process by linking Fresno homeowners to local suppliers, providing clear quantity calculators, and scheduling deliveries so you get the right material, in the right amount, when your project is ready to start.Popular Projects in Fresno This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Fresno Gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in Fresno.
Start with the project purpose: drainage, walking surface, decorative cover, or base material. Consider local climate—Fresno has hot, dry summers and wetter winters—so pick a material that resists washout and meets your appearance and maintenance needs. Use our material calculator and quiz for volume and type guidance, and contact our team for recommendations based on your site and budget.
Pricing depends on material weight and volume, local supplier rates, haul distance, and site access. Remember our minimum order is 3 tons and next-day delivery has an additional fee; hidden costs can include access fees or longer carry distances on site. Request a detailed quote so you can compare line items and schedule deliveries to match your project timeline.
Fresno’s hot, dry summers can cause color fading and dust, while winter rains increase erosion and drainage needs. Choose materials that handle seasonal moisture changes and provide proper drainage for slopes or driveways. For planting areas consider mixes that help retain moisture; for driveways pick more stable, well-draining aggregates.
Check your zip code on our site to confirm service availability in Fresno. Standard delivery is 2+ business days and next-day delivery is available for orders placed before noon CST for an extra fee. Deliveries are made by contracted dump trucks (typically tri-axle); you will get scheduling info but exact arrival times are not guaranteed.
Some projects—like new driveways, major grading, retaining walls, or large visible landscape changes—may require city permits or HOA approval. Check the City of Fresno ordinances and your HOA rules before ordering so you can avoid rework or removal. When in doubt, contact local building or planning departments for specific permit requirements.
Calculate cubic yards using (length ft x width ft x depth ft) / 27, then convert to tons with our online calculator since different materials have different densities. For typical use, our site calculator and customer service can help translate your measurements into our minimum-order tons and suggest a small overage for compaction and settling. Ordering slightly more than calculated is common to account for waste and uneven surfaces.
Clear the dump area of cars, low branches, and obstacles, and mark any underground utilities or sprinkler lines to avoid damage. Confirm there's a safe truck route and adequate turning/parking space; limited access or long carry distances can add fees. If you want tailgate spreading, request it at checkout but note drivers decide on arrival based on safety and equipment.
Materials are regionally sourced, so color, texture, and sizing reflect local geology and natural variation. Photos are illustrative; natural stone and aggregates will vary seasonally and by quarry. You can note color preferences at checkout, and contact customer service if the material differs significantly from your expectations.
Drivers may offer tailgate spreading at their discretion, but this is not guaranteed and depends on site safety, truck positioning, and local restrictions. Request the service during checkout so the driver is aware, and plan for possible refusal if conditions are unsafe. For consistent spreading results, consider hiring local labor or equipment suited for spreading and grading.
Compare durability, drainage, maintenance, and look: choose materials that handle vehicle loads for driveways, provide firm footing for walkways, and support plant health in garden beds. Budget and upkeep matter—some materials require periodic topping or raking while others are low maintenance. Use our material quiz or talk to our team to match the right family of materials (gravel, sand, dirt, stone) to your specific use.
Contact our customer service as soon as possible—changes are easiest before the order is processed or dispatched. We will do our best to accommodate modifications but some changes may not be possible if local suppliers or trucks are already scheduled. Check your order confirmation for contact details and timing guidelines.
Contact customer service promptly with photos and details so we can review the delivery with the supplier and driver. We will work to resolve issues in line with our policies, which may include arranging a replacement or discussing next steps. Refer to our refund and issue resolution information for specifics on how claims are handled.
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.
Hassle Free! Our goal is to make the buying process for gravel and other aggregates as easy and seamless as possible. Enter your zip code on our site, select how much material you need (see below FAQ’s to determine order size), select the date and time frame you would like your material delivered at Checkout, and place your order with any major credit card. After the order is placed our in-house support team will contact you to confirm the details. We will send additional confirmations on the day before and the day of delivery.

No, because we are a national supplier, we utilize our existing network of suppliers across the country. Therefore, the materials will likely be delivered from a contracted trucking company.
We specialize in making the aggregate buying process as easy and seamless as possible by managing the process from end to end. We have a network of suppliers that we source the materials from where we have negotiated rates. However, we do charge a markup and because of this you may be able to find the materials cheaper on your own. But if you want a hassle free experience, then we are for you!
