Brown Shredded Mulch
Shredded bark and wood from trees like oak, hickory, and maple, used for landscaping and gardening applications. Provides moisture retention in your soil, weed suppression, temperature regulation for plants, and the gradual addition of organic matter as it decomposes slowly over time. Adds a beautiful, finished look to your home’s exterior.
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.
Road Base
(Class 5 | ABC | Crusher Run) A mixture of crushed limestone or granite, gravel, and sand, ranging from 1 ½” in size down to fines (small particles). 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.
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.
Fill Dirt
Versatile, lower-grade soil commonly used for volume and elevation changes in various construction and landscaping projects. Great for leveling or grading ground, backfilling pools and filling ditches, and evening out low points or depressions on your property.

Why Harbor City Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Harbor City has a population of 22,570 and sits within a larger metro region of 7.9+ million people. A steady growth rate of 0.40% annually points to consistent demand for home upkeep, renovation, and incremental new construction rather than a rapid building boom. The local climate — an average of 204 sunny days per year and annual rainfall of 49.77 inches, with USDA hardiness zone 9a — creates a need for materials that balance drainage, durability, and moisture retention. Homeowners and contractors in Harbor City are often focused on projects like grading and drainage, erosion control, soil improvement, and creating stable outdoor surfaces, so access to reliable bulk supplies across gravel, dirt, sand, mulch, and stone matters for long-term performance. Harbor City's mix of strong sunshine and substantial rainfall creates specific performance requirements: heavy rains increase runoff and settling, while sun and seasonal cycles affect surface wear and organic breakdown. These local conditions make compaction, drainage capacity, and regional sourcing important factors when selecting materials; well-graded fills, erosion-resistant surfacing, and plant-friendly soils behave differently here than in drier or colder zones. Hello Gravel helps homeowners navigate those tradeoffs by connecting them to local suppliers and haulers, offering clear pricing and scheduling, and providing practical guidance so material choices reflect Harbor City's climate and infrastructure needs.Popular Projects in Harbor City This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Harbor City Gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in Harbor City.
Homeowners and contractors in Harbor City commonly choose materials that offer good drainage, durability, and low maintenance from the group of gravel, sand, dirt, stone. Coastal conditions and local availability favor materials that resist washout and compact well for a stable surface. Consider traffic load, desired look, and the need for edging or a base layer when selecting materials.
Hello Gravel requires a minimum order of 3 tons and uses dump trucks for delivery. Standard delivery typically takes 2+ business days, while a next-day option is available for orders placed before noon CST for an additional fee. Delivery fees vary by supplier and distance; many orders qualify for free delivery but fees may apply in some areas.
Harbor City's coastal climate brings higher humidity, occasional marine salts, and periodic heavy rain events, all of which can affect settling, corrosion of edging, and vegetation growth. Choose materials and installation methods that promote drainage and resist washout, and plan for compaction and proper grading. Regional sourcing means color and texture will reflect local geology, so expect natural variation.
Late spring and early fall generally offer the most predictable weather for deliveries and installations in Harbor City, with fewer heavy rains and moderate temperatures. Winter can bring more rain that may delay spreading or compaction, while mid-summer heat can complicate handling of some materials. When scheduling, select a preferred delivery date at checkout and allow buffer days for weather-related changes.
Next-day delivery is often available through Hello Gravel when orders are placed before the cutoff (noon CST), subject to supplier and truck availability and an extra fee. Same-day delivery is less common because we rely on local suppliers and contracted trucking schedules, but check zip code availability or contact our team for urgent requests. We coordinate with local haulers to give the best possible timing for each order.
Contractors focus on drainage, slope, expected foot and vehicle traffic, and local water-use rules when recommending low-maintenance options from the gravel, sand, dirt, stone group. They also consider weed control measures, edging, and whether a fabric or base course is needed to limit migration and settling. Long-term maintenance needs and aesthetic goals help determine the right material mix.
Yes, local city codes and HOA rules can limit color, stone size, visible surface materials, and requirements for permeable surfaces or stormwater controls. Before ordering materials, check your HOA guidelines and local permitting requirements for driveways, parking pads, and front-yard landscaping. If in doubt, contact Hello Gravel or your local planning department to confirm compliance.
Material-only costs for common aggregates typically vary based on type, quality, and distance from suppliers; delivered material prices commonly range broadly from modest to higher-end per ton depending on the product. Final project cost also depends on site prep, grading, compaction, and any spreading services you request. For a more precise estimate for your project, use Hello Gravel's material calculator or contact our team with project dimensions and site details.
Start by defining the project type, expected traffic, and desired appearance, then choose a material from the gravel, sand, dirt, stone group that matches those needs and local climate considerations. Measure length, width, and desired depth, then use a cubic-yard formula or Hello Gravel's material calculator to convert to tons; keep in mind our 3-ton minimum and regional density differences. If you need help, contact our sales team with project dimensions and we can recommend quantities and materials.
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.
