Gravel: Built For Healdsburg Drainage Needs • Fast Local Gravel Delivery And Support
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.
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.

Why Healdsburg Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Healdsburg, with a population of 15,210 and sitting inside a metro that supports 2.3+ million people, is seeing steady demand for home and landscape upgrades as it grows at 2.50% annually. The local climate — 228/year sunny days, about 34.00 inches of annual rainfall, and USDA hardiness zone 8b — encourages outdoor living spaces, low-water gardens, and durable hardscapes. That combination of growth and climate means homeowners increasingly need reliable aggregates for drainage, pathways, driveways, and erosion control. Quality gravel is a go-to material because it balances permeability, durability, and low maintenance in both wet seasons and long sunny stretches, making it practical for both DIY projects and contractor jobs. Gravel performs well in Healdsburg’s mix of sun and seasonal rain: its porosity helps manage the 34.00 inches of annual rainfall while its thermal stability suits frequent sunny conditions. Gravel also complements drought-tolerant planting common in zone 8b landscapes and reduces runoff on sloped lots. Hello Gravel connects you with local suppliers and professional haulers to provide regionally sourced gravel that reflects local geology. Order online, choose a delivery window, and get materials delivered by dump truck on a scheduled date — we require 2+ business days for standard delivery, with a next-day option available if ordered before noon CST.Popular Projects in Healdsburg This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Healdsburg gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in Healdsburg.
Prices vary by type and size, but expect a rough range of $30 to $70 per ton for common gravels in Healdsburg, with decorative or specialty gravels on the higher end. Hello Gravel has a 3-ton minimum and often includes free standard delivery in many areas; delivery fees can apply for next-day service or difficult access. Final price depends on material type, quantity, truck access, and any local hauling fees.
Hello Gravel connects you with trusted local suppliers and haulers in Sonoma County and nearby quarries that service Healdsburg. Rather than listing specific companies here, we recommend checking availability and exact material photos by entering your zip code on our site or calling our team to see the local options we can deliver to your address.
For Healdsburg's dry summers and wet winters, good choices include crushed rock (3/4" minus) for driveways, decomposed granite (DG) for pathways, and pea gravel for drainage and decorative uses. Use compactable crush-run or rock fines as a base where freeze-thaw or mud is a concern, and choose lighter-colored or angular rock where runoff and erosion control are priorities.
Rules vary by neighborhood, so check with the City of Healdsburg Public Works and your HOA before starting work. Permits are commonly required for driveway curb cuts, changes to right-of-way, or if grading, drainage, or stormwater measures are involved; Sonoma County planning may have additional rules for rural parcels.
For driveways, install a compacted base of 4 to 6 inches of crush-run or compactable aggregate, topped with 2 to 3 inches of surface gravel for a total of about 6 to 8 inches. Walkways typically need 2 to 3 inches of finished gravel over a compacted base; RV pads should have a compacted base of 4 to 6 inches with a 3 to 4 inch surface of larger, angular gravel to handle heavier loads.
Use cubic yards = (area in sq ft * depth in ft) / 27, and convert to tons using about 1.4 tons per cubic yard (material varies). For 100 sq ft: 2" depth ≈ 0.62 yd3 (≈0.86 tons), 3" ≈ 0.93 yd3 (≈1.30 tons), 4" ≈ 1.23 yd3 (≈1.73 tons). For 1,000 sq ft multiply those tonnages by 10 (2" ≈ 8.6 tons, 3" ≈ 13.0 tons, 4" ≈ 17.3 tons).
Expect to regrade and spot-fill gravel driveways every 1 to 3 years, depending on traffic and local winter rains; a light replenishment of 1/2" to 1" per year is common. Annual material cost for a typical 1,000 sq ft driveway might run $100 to $600 depending on the gravel type and local delivery, with occasional higher costs for larger repairs or new base material.
Gravel offers better natural drainage, lower upfront cost, and easier repairs, which suits Healdsburg's wet winters and hilly terrain, but it requires more routine maintenance. Asphalt is more durable and low-maintenance long term but costs more and reduces permeability; pavers are the most aesthetic and durable option for patios and driveways but come with the highest material and installation cost.
Yes, Hello Gravel can source clean, non-combustible rock sizes commonly recommended for defensible space, such as 1/4" to 1" clean gravel or larger crushed rock. Check CalFire and Sonoma County fire codes for specific defensible-space and fuel modification requirements, and note that local officials may specify rock size, depth, and placement around structures.
Hello Gravel deliveries use dump trucks (typically tri-axle) and require clear access, sufficient turning radius, and safe ground to support the truck; our minimum order is 3 tons. Narrow rural roads, low branches, weight-restricted driveways or private bridges, and gated entries can require smaller trucks or transfers and may incur extra fees; request site notes at checkout and an access assessment if you are unsure.
Drivers may be able to perform tailgate spreading at their discretion; you can request this service at checkout, but there are no guarantees it will be possible or included. For precise grading, compaction, or larger landscaping jobs we recommend hiring a local contractor; Hello Gravel can coordinate delivery timing to fit your installer schedule.
As of today, we require 2 business days for delivery.

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.
