Why King City Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
King City is a growing community of 15,470 residents in West California, expanding at about 1.00% annually.

Frequently Asked Questions - King City gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in King City.
Local suppliers serving King City typically offer three main categories: crushed stone (angular rock good for driveways and base layers), rounded gravel and pea gravel (smooth, decorative for pathways and patios), and fines like crusher run or decomposed granite (compactable material used for base and walking surfaces). Regional geology may change color and texture, so expect variations in appearance. Ask for photos or local product names when you order to confirm what will be delivered.
Yes, gravel is a common, cost-effective driveway surface in King City’s mild Mediterranean climate. With proper base preparation, compaction, and periodic replenishment, a gravel driveway can be durable and easy to maintain. Consider heavier, angular crushed stone for vehicle areas and plan for occasional grading and top-ups.
For a 20 ft by 50 ft driveway at 3 inches deep you need roughly 9.3 cubic yards, which is about 14 tons of gravel depending on the material. Local prices vary, but expect a wide delivered range; using Hello Gravel, check price per ton and remember our minimum order is 3 tons and delivery usually takes 2+ business days. Get a quote in your zip code to see exact pricing and delivery options for King City.
You can lay gravel directly on soil for light-use paths, but for driveways or heavy use you should prep the subgrade by removing topsoil, compacting, and adding a base layer of crushed rock or road base. Installing a geotextile fabric helps prevent mixing of soil and gravel and reduces weed growth. Proper preparation increases longevity, especially if King City soils are soft or hold moisture in low spots.
Angular crushed stone or washed rock (commonly 3/4" minus, 1-1/2" clear stone, or similar sizes) is best for drainage because it resists compaction and allows water to pass. Washed rock reduces fines that can clog pipes and soil interfaces, making it preferable for French drains and dry creek beds. Ask your Hello Gravel order rep for the right size based on your drain design.
Both are needed: sand is the fine aggregate and gravel (coarse aggregate) provides strength to a concrete mix. For typical concrete slabs and footings used in King City, mixes combine both sand and gravel in specific proportions, so you should use a ready-mix supplier or follow a tested mix design. If ordering aggregates from Hello Gravel, confirm intended use so we can recommend the right material and gradation.
Locally sourced crusher fines or road base tend to be the cheapest per ton because they come from common crushing operations and compact well. These materials work well for pathways, sub-bases, and utility areas but are less decorative than pea gravel or washed river rock. If appearance matters, expect to pay a premium for rounded or decorative varieties.
With proper installation and routine maintenance like raking, occasional regrading, and adding new material every few years, a gravel driveway in King City can last 10 to 25 years before major renewal is needed. The region’s mild winters reduce freeze-thaw damage, but erosion and rutting after heavy rains can still occur in low spots. Plan periodic top-ups and keep drainage functioning to extend life.
Yes. King City’s local geology and climate influence color, texture, and how materials compact or drain, so material names and appearance may differ from photos. Consider sun exposure, slope, and seasonal runoff when choosing particle size and fines content. Tell our team your address so we can match you with nearby suppliers whose products perform well in the area.
Gravel is typically much cheaper upfront than concrete because material and installation costs are lower and you avoid formwork and labor associated with concrete. However, concrete needs less frequent replenishment and can be more durable long-term, so compare initial budget versus maintenance expectations. For short-term savings or flexible areas, gravel is common; for heavy use and low maintenance, concrete may be worth the extra investment.
Hello Gravel serves customers nationwide with regional suppliers; check your King City zip code on our site to confirm availability. Our minimum order is 3 tons, deliveries are usually via tri-axle dump trucks, standard delivery takes 2+ business days, and next-day options may be available for an extra fee if ordered by the cutoff. Add delivery notes for access, preferred drop area, or tailgate spreading requests, but remember spreading is at the driver's discretion.
Lay a permeable geotextile fabric under the gravel to suppress weeds while allowing drainage, and use an edging material to contain the stone and prevent spreading. Choose a size and shape (pea gravel or angular stone) appropriate for the area; smaller rounded gravel moves more under foot, while angular crushed stone interlocks and stays put better. Regular maintenance like brushing and topping up small amounts yearly keeps the area neat.
As of today, we require 2 business days for delivery.
