Why Lodi Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Lodi, California (city population 67,624) sits inside the Stockton metro area (metro area population 2.3+ million) and is experiencing steady residential and light‑commercial demand as it grows at 2.00% annually. With 230 sunny days annually and 34.00 inches of annual rainfall in hardiness zone 8b, homeowners here can work year‑round but still need materials that handle both dry heat and seasonal downpours. That combination drives demand for dependable aggregates to manage runoff, stabilize clay‑prone soils, and create durable driveways, patios, and pathways. Gravel is a practical choice for many Lodi projects because it improves drainage, reduces erosion, and provides a stable base for pavers and compacted surfaces. In Lodi’s climate, angular crushed and washed gravel performs well: it encourages infiltration during rain events, resists migration under sun and foot traffic, and blends with local soil textures. Gravel is commonly used for permeable driveways, French drains, garden paths, and slope stabilization in suburban lots. Hello Gravel connects homeowners to vetted local suppliers, coordinates professional dump‑truck delivery, and helps calculate quantities and scheduling so materials arrive when your project needs them—typically with standard delivery in 2+ business days and a next‑day option available for early orders.Popular Projects in Lodi This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Lodi gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in Lodi.
Prices vary by material and supplier, but expect a typical delivered range of about $45 to $75 per ton in the Lodi area. Finer or decorative gravels cost more, recycled materials are often cheaper, and delivery or spreading fees can add to the final price.
Buying in bulk and having it delivered is usually the most economical option for Lodi homeowners. Consider recycled crushed concrete or crusher-run material for a lower price, and compare suppliers through Hello Gravel to get transparent pricing and delivery included.
A 50 lb bag of gravel covers roughly 3 square feet at a 2-inch depth. Coverage changes with depth, gravel type, and settling, so bags are best for small touch-ups rather than whole-driveway projects.
One cubic yard of gravel covers about 162 square feet at a 2-inch depth. That equals roughly 1.35 tons, but actual weight and coverage vary by stone type and compaction.
Cost per truckload depends on load size, material, and distance; a standard tri-axle load commonly carries about 10 to 12 tons. To estimate cost, multiply your local per-ton price by the truck's tonnage and add any delivery or spreading fees quoted by the supplier.
Use length x width x depth to calculate volume, then convert to tons. For example, a 100 ft by 12 ft driveway at 3 inches depth needs about 15 tons; at 2 inches it would be about 10 tons. Always round up and account for compaction, plus note Hello Gravel's 3-ton minimum order.
Cost depends on width, depth, and material. For example, a 20 ft by 100 ft driveway at 3 inches depth needs about 25 tons; at $50 per ton that is about $1,250 for material alone, with delivery and spreading extra. Get a custom quote through Hello Gravel for precise pricing.
Two inches is usually too thin for a driveway that sees regular vehicle traffic; it can work for walkways or decorative top dressing. For driveways we recommend 3 to 4 inches of compacted gravel and a properly prepared base to handle traffic and Lodi's seasonal rains.
Recycled crushed concrete or crusher-run material is often a cheaper, durable alternative to natural gravel in the Lodi area. For garden beds or decorative uses, decomposed granite or mulch may be less expensive but serve different purposes than gravel.
If 1 ton covers about 120 square feet at 2 inches depth, a 10-ton tri-axle load would cover roughly 1,200 square feet at that depth. To convert to linear feet for a driveway, divide that area by your driveway width (for example, a 10-ton load covers about 120 linear feet of a 10 ft-wide driveway at 2 inches).
A 10x10 area (100 ft^2) at 2 inches depth requires about 0.6 cubic yards or roughly 0.85 tons of gravel. Hello Gravel's minimum order is 3 tons, so small projects like this are often more economical using bags from a local retailer or combining orders.
Capacity depends on side height, but a 7x14 trailer typically holds about 2 to 4 cubic yards of loose material. Check your trailer bed depth and the trailer's load rating; weight limits often restrict how much gravel you can safely haul.
A standard full-size pickup bed can usually carry about 1 cubic yard of loose gravel when not heaped, though weight may approach the vehicle's payload limit. Always check your truck's payload rating and local road rules before hauling gravel to avoid overloading.
A well-installed gravel driveway or path can last 10 to 20 years or more with regular maintenance like regrading and occasional top-ups. Local factors in Lodi such as vehicle traffic, irrigation, and winter storms influence how often you need to add material; expect to top up thinner surfaces every 1 to 5 years.
Recycled crushed concrete and crusher-run (a mix of fines and stone) are typically the most budget-friendly materials in the Lodi market. Availability and regional sourcing affect price, so check local suppliers through Hello Gravel to compare 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.
