Why Livermore Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Livermore is a growing city of 83,990 residents located in West California, positioned within a metro area of 2.7+ million people. With a steady growth rate of 1.00% annually, homeowners and small contractors here are frequently renovating yards, replacing driveways, and preparing sites for new landscaping. The local climate—Hardiness Zone 8b with roughly 228 sunny days and 34.25 inches of rain each year—supports outdoor projects year-round but also creates specific needs: good drainage, sun-resistant surfaces, and materials that handle both dry summers and wet winters. That combination of steady construction demand and varied seasonal conditions is why many Livermore homeowners look for quality aggregates like gravel to manage runoff, stabilize paths, and create low-maintenance outdoor spaces. Gravel works particularly well in Livermore because its open texture sheds water, reduces erosion on slopes, and stands up to prolonged sun exposure without breaking down like organic mulches. For patios, driveways, drainage trenches, and erosion control, locally sourced gravel reflects the region's geology and performs reliably across seasons. Hello Gravel connects you to vetted local suppliers and haulers so you get material matched to local soils and climate, clear pricing, and scheduled delivery — simplifying the process of getting the right gravel to your property.Popular Projects in Livermore This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Livermore gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in Livermore.
A full tri-axle dump truck in the Bay Area usually carries about 10-12 cubic yards (roughly 14-16 tons, depending on material density). Delivered pricing to Livermore varies with material type and distance; a rough delivered range is $400 to $1,200 for a full load. Hello Gravel has a minimum order of 3 tons and will provide an itemized quote for your zip code and delivery window—use our site or call for an exact price.
Volume depends on depth: 2 inches = about 6.17 cubic yards (≈8.6 tons), 3 inches = about 9.26 cubic yards (≈13.0 tons), 4 inches = about 12.35 cubic yards (≈17.3 tons). Multiply cubic yards by about 1.4 to estimate tons; these are approximate because local gravel density varies. Delivery cost depends on your location and the material; request a Hello Gravel quote for an exact delivered price for the quantity you need.
A 20x20 driveway is 400 sq ft. For a typical build (about 4-6 inches compacted base plus a 1-2 inch surface) expect material+delivery costs to commonly fall between $300 and $1,200 depending on gravel type and quantities, and professional installation/labor to range from roughly $500 to $2,000 depending on site prep and contractor rates. Total installed costs typically range from about $800 to $3,200; get local contractor estimates and a Hello Gravel material quote for a precise number.
Two inches is not sufficient for a driveway. For Livermore's climate and typical vehicle loads, aim for a compacted base of 4-6 inches of crushed gravel or road base and a 1-2 inch surface layer of 3/4" crushed stone or 3/8" crushed rock for a smoother finish. Proper compaction and subgrade preparation are key to avoid rutting and migration.
For small projects under about 3 tons, renting a trailer or picking up a couple cubic yards can be cheapest because of Hello Gravel's 3-ton minimum. For larger jobs, bulk truck delivery is usually the most efficient and cost-effective due to labor and fuel savings. Prices vary by material and distance; use Hello Gravel to compare local supplier rates and delivery fees for your zip code.
Natural river gravel is sometimes less expensive up front, but crushed stone typically costs a bit more. Crushed stone compacts and locks together better, giving superior drainage and durability for driveways, so it often delivers better long-term value despite the slightly higher initial cost. For driveways where stability matters, most contractors in Livermore recommend crushed material.
Yes. Options include polymer binders, resin-bound gravel, gravel grids (plastic cellular pavers), and permeable pavers; these improve durability and reduce migration and dust. Costs vary widely: expect an added premium from about $1 to $8+ per sq ft depending on product and installation complexity, so get contractor quotes and material samples for a local estimate.
With proper installation and routine maintenance, a gravel driveway in Livermore can last 10 to 25 years as an overall surface. You should plan to regrade and add a light top-up (1/2" to 1") every 3 to 7 years, with heavier replenishment every 8 to 15 years depending on traffic and drainage. Regular maintenance after winter rains and periodic compaction extend lifespan.
Common downsides are dust during dry summers, migration of loose rock into landscaping or gutters, weed growth, and periodic washouts during heavy rains. Maintenance includes annual raking/regrading, occasional compaction, weed control, and topping up material every few years; budget for these recurring costs when comparing to paved options. Good edging and drainage reduce maintenance needs.
A 7x14 dump trailer typically holds about 3 to 4 cubic yards of gravel, but it is usually limited by the trailer and tow vehicle's weight capacity rather than volume. Renting a trailer can be cost-effective for small DIY jobs under about 3 tons or when you need short runs; for larger quantities (over Hello Gravel's 3-ton minimum) bulk delivery is usually faster, safer, and more economical. Also consider unloading labor, local parking or street permit rules, and your tow vehicle limits when deciding.
Calculate volume by multiplying area (sq ft) by depth (in inches) and dividing by 324 (cubic yards) — for example, 1,000 sq ft at 3" depth = about 9.26 cubic yards. Convert cubic yards to tons by multiplying by about 1.4 to estimate weight; regional density varies so this is approximate. Hello Gravel's online calculator and local suppliers will produce a precise quote and can recommend the right product and delivery size for your Livermore zip code.
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.
