Why Harder-Tennyson Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Harder-Tennyson is home to 700,000 residents and is experiencing steady expansion, growing at 2.50% annually. With 228 sunny days a year, an annual rainfall of 33.20 inches, and placement in USDA hardiness zone 8b, the local climate supports extensive landscaping and ongoing construction. That steady population growth and favorable weather are driving demand for durable aggregates—driveways, drainage improvements, retaining-base stone, and low-maintenance landscape beds all require reliable materials. Homeowners here often look for gravel that balances drainage, stability, and low upkeep: angular crushed stone for compacting driveways, pea gravel for patios and walkways, and coarser drainage rock for erosion control. Selecting the right size and rock type helps projects withstand periodic heavy rain and long sun exposure, reducing maintenance and extending lifespan.Popular Projects in Harder-Tennyson This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Harder-Tennyson gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in Harder-Tennyson.
Prices vary by supplier and exact gravel type, but pea gravel in the Harder-Tennyson area typically runs about $30 to $80 per cubic yard (roughly $40 to $90 per ton). A common tri-axle dump truck holds about 10 to 12 cubic yards, so material cost for a full truck load often falls in the $300 to $960 range before delivery and fees. Check your zip code on Hello Gravel for exact pricing and available delivery options.
One cubic yard equals 27 cubic feet, so coverage depends on depth. At a 3-inch depth 1 cubic yard covers about 108 sq ft, at 2 inches about 162 sq ft, and at 4 inches about 81 sq ft. Remember local factors in Harder-Tennyson like settling and slope can change how much you actually need.
Avoid pea gravel where you need stable, compacted surfaces—steep driveways, high-traffic walkways, or areas requiring wheelchair access—because it can shift and migrate. It also performs poorly where you need a load-bearing base or where local grading and drainage concentrate water, since the rounded shape can move under stress. For those situations consider crushed stone or compactable base materials instead.
Ten cubic yards of pea gravel typically costs between $300 and $800 for the material, depending on grade and supplier, with final price affected by delivery distance and any fees. In many areas Hello Gravel offers free delivery, but it depends on your zip code and schedule; check checkout for the exact total. Large orders may qualify for better per-yard pricing—request a quote for precise numbers.
Gravel density varies, but a good rule of thumb for pea gravel in Harder-Tennyson is about 1.3 to 1.5 tons per cubic yard. Use 1.4 tons per cubic yard for quick estimates when converting between tons and yards. Keep this in mind when ordering since Hello Gravel has a 3-ton minimum for deliveries.
Deliveries are made by contracted dump trucks (typically tri-axle) and standard delivery takes at least 2 business days, with next-day delivery available for orders placed before noon CST for an extra fee. You can add placement notes at checkout, and drivers may offer tailgate spreading at their discretion if site conditions allow, but spreading is not guaranteed. Make sure the drop area is accessible and free of overhead obstructions; the driver will assess safe placement on arrival.
Measure the area in square feet and decide on the desired depth in inches, then use the formula: cubic yards = (square feet x depth in inches) / 324. For example, a 500 sq ft area at 2 inches deep needs about (500 x 2) / 324 = 3.09 cubic yards. Use Hello Gravel’s material calculator or contact our team for help converting to tons and accounting for compaction or slope.
Yes—many cities and HOAs in California have rules about front-yard rock landscaping, driveway surfacing, and runoff or drainage control. Before ordering for a front yard or driveway project in Harder-Tennyson, check your city permit requirements and any HOA covenants to avoid fines or required removal. If in doubt, contact Hello Gravel or your local building department for guidance.
For a durable gravel driveway, plan on a compacted base of 4 to 6 inches of crushed rock or crushed stone, topped with 2 to 3 inches of finish gravel such as larger crushed stone or pea gravel. In areas with clay soils or poor drainage common in parts of California, add geotextile fabric to limit mixing and improve stability. For contractor-grade jobs in Harder-Tennyson, consider hiring a pro to grade and compact each layer with a plate compactor or roller.
Gravel is a natural product and Hello Gravel sources materials regionally, so color, texture, and stone size can vary based on local geology in the Harder-Tennyson area. Photos are representative but not exact; if color or texture is important, note your preference at checkout and contact our team for photos or supplier details before ordering. If the material looks significantly different from what you expected, contact customer service to discuss options.
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.
