Materials Available for Delivery
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.
1 1/2″ Crushed Gravel
Larger 1 ½” gravel perfect for french drains, drainage ditches, catch basins, and erosion control. Also used in base layers for road projects in areas with poor soil conditions, as backfill material, and for ground cover applications where smaller stones may wash away.
3/8″ Natural Pea Gravel
Decorative and functional landscaping gravel. Small, naturally rounded stones create an aesthetic appeal when used for pathways, plant beds and garden borders. Also great for water features, rock gardens, dog runs and playground surfacing.
Red Shredded Mulch
Red shredded bark and wood from hardwoods like oak, hickory, and maple. Good for gardening and landscaping. Helps hold moisture, block weeds, and adds a bold, red pop to your outdoors.
Driveway Gravel
A ¾”-1” clean, crushed stone ideal for rejuvenating worn down gravel driveways, or for installing a fresh new driveway on your property. Aesthetically pleasing and functional!

Why Idyllwild-Pine Cove Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Idyllwild-Pine Cove serves a close-knit community of 12,790 residents within a broader metro region of 7.9+ million. With a steady growth rate of 0.40% annually, local construction and landscaping demand is consistent rather than explosive—meaning homeowners can expect continual need for repairs, upgrades, and modest new builds rather than sudden booms. The local climate combines 204 sunny days per year with 49.77 inches of annual rainfall, so material choices must balance sun exposure and moisture management. That mix drives demand for durable base materials, well-draining aggregates, moisture-retaining soils and mulches, and erosion-control products. Homeowners are leaning toward low-maintenance yards, durable access roads, and outdoor living upgrades, all of which depend on reliable bulk supplies delivered on schedule and matched to local geology and weather conditions. Local soil types and the seasonal pattern of sun and rain create clear performance requirements for bulk materials. Heavy seasonal rainfall increases the risk of erosion and standing water, so properly graded fill, reliable drainage aggregates, and stable backfill are important. At the same time, 204 sunny days per year increase UV exposure and evaporation, which affects mulch longevity and planting success in hardiness zone 9a. For homeowners, this means ordering materials that account for compaction, drainage, and moisture retention rather than buying the cheapest option. Hello Gravel helps by connecting you to local suppliers who understand regional geology, offering quantity calculators and delivery scheduling so you get the right material, in the right amount, when you need it.Popular Projects in Idyllwild-Pine Cove This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Idyllwild-Pine Cove Gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in Idyllwild-Pine Cove.
Mountain climate and elevation in Idyllwild-Pine Cove mean cooler temperatures, occasional snowfall, and steeper slopes, all of which affect material performance. Choose materials that drain well and resist erosion, and prefer aggregates that compact and lock together on slopes. Expect local color and texture differences due to regional sourcing, and ask our team if you need a specific look or performance characteristic.
Yes—narrow roads, sharp turns, steep driveways, and local weight limits are common in mountain communities and can affect truck access. Provide clear access notes and photos at checkout so we can match the right truck and crew, and be prepared for additional fees or smaller trucks if standard dump trucks cannot reach your site. Drivers will assess access on arrival and follow local regulations.
Plan deliveries outside of heavy rain or snow when possible to avoid muddy conditions and compaction issues; spring through early fall is often easiest for hauling and installation. Allow extra lead time during peak landscaping season and wildfire or storm-prone periods. If weather forces a change, contact our team as soon as possible to reschedule.
Freeze-thaw and snow can cause movement, frost heave, and surface degradation if materials do not drain or settle properly. Use well-draining aggregates and proper base preparation to reduce frost-related issues, and expect some settling over time that may require topping up. Regular maintenance like regrading or adding material can extend longevity.
You may need local permits or HOA approval for driveways, retaining walls, or visible landscaping changes—rules vary by neighborhood and property. Check with the county planning office and your HOA before ordering, and add any permit or design notes to your order so we can help coordinate timing. Our team can also advise on common local requirements but cannot obtain permits for you.
Contractors often use a mix of larger stone for energy dissipation, well-graded aggregates for drainage, and soil or mulch with vegetation to stabilize slopes. Geotextile fabrics combined with appropriate aggregates can improve performance on steep grades. Material choice depends on slope, runoff patterns, and aesthetic goals, so discuss your site conditions with our sales team.
Our minimum order is 3 tons, and standard delivery is 2+ business days; next-day delivery is available for orders placed before noon CST for an additional fee. Final delivery fees vary based on distance, access difficulty, and any required special equipment for steep or narrow sites. Provide access details at checkout so we can give an accurate delivery plan and cost estimate.
Many local suppliers and haulers offer tailgate dumping as the standard delivery method, and some can arrange additional placement services using skid steers or loaders for an extra charge. You can request placement or spreading in the order notes, but drivers will assess safety and feasibility on arrival and cannot guarantee extra services. If heavy equipment is needed, coordinate ahead so the right crew and permits are arranged.
Measure the area (length x width) and decide on the required depth to calculate volume, then convert to cubic yards or tons using our material calculator or by contacting our team. Different materials compact differently, so allow a little extra for settling and waste—typically plan 5-10% over the calculated amount. Use our online calculator or call for help with conversions and recommendations.
DIY projects save on labor but can require equipment rental, extra time, and skill for work on steep or restricted-access sites, which may increase risk and hidden cost. Hiring a contractor brings expertise, faster completion, and access to equipment for difficult placements, but you pay for labor and management. For complex or steep projects, contractors often provide better long-term value and safety, while simple projects like small pathways may be cost-effective for experienced DIYers.
No—natural materials reflect local geology, so color, texture, and particle size will vary by supplier and region. We encourage customers to note color preferences in the order notes and to request samples if a specific appearance is important. If your material looks substantially different than expected, contact customer service and we will work to address the issue following our policies.
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.
