Why Mad River Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Mad River homeowners live in a small, close-knit community — the city population of 280 — within a larger, active region that supports a metro area population of 7.9+ million. That modest 0.40% annual growth rate points to steady, incremental demand for remodeling, lot maintenance, and small-scale new construction rather than a building boom; homeowners can expect reliable, ongoing needs for repairs, landscaping upgrades, and incremental site work. With 204 sunny days per year and a relatively high annual rainfall of 49.77 inches in hardiness zone 9a, local projects need materials that balance wet-weather performance with sun and heat exposure. Quality bulk materials — gravel, sand, dirt, mulch, and stone — matter here because they determine drainage, erosion control, soil health, and long-term durability for patios, driveways, garden beds, and retaining structures.Popular Projects in Mad River This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Mad River Gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in Mad River.
Customers in Mad River commonly order bulk gravel, sand, dirt, and stone for a wide range of jobs. These materials are used as base layers, top surfacing, backfill, and for drainage or erosion control, so pick a product based on the function you need rather than appearance alone.
Choose materials based on use: durability and load-bearing for driveways, smooth finish for patios, and permeability for drainage or erosion control. Consider project depth, expected traffic, and local climate when deciding, and use our aggregate quiz or contact our sales team for tailored guidance.
Mad River is a rural area, so delivery availability depends on local suppliers and road access. Deliveries are made by dump truck and may be restricted by narrow roads, steep driveways, or weight limits; we recommend checking your zip code for availability and noting access limitations in the Order Notes.
Mad River's seasonal rains and wet ground mean scheduling work during drier months when possible and choosing materials that handle moisture and runoff. Avoid placing or finishing materials on saturated soil, and allow extra drying time after heavy rains before compaction or surfacing.
Standard delivery typically requires at least 2 business days, with a next-day option for orders placed before noon CST for an extra fee. Same-day delivery may be available rarely depending on local supplier and truck routing, but remote Mad River addresses often need longer lead times, so check availability when you order.
Hello Gravel requires a minimum order of 3 tons, and deliveries are made by contracted dump trucks (typically tri-axle). Larger projects may require multiple truckloads, and some rural sites may need offloading assistance or smaller trucks if access is limited.
Estimate volume first (length x width x depth) and convert cubic feet to cubic yards (divide by 27), then factor in compaction (usually 10-30% extra). For quick planning, use our online material calculator or request help from our sales team with project dimensions for a tailored quantity estimate.
Permit and road-use rules vary by county in West California, so check with Trinity County or local authorities before large deliveries, especially for driveway work or if trucks will use narrow or private roads. Also be aware of environmentally sensitive areas and setbacks near waterways that may require permits.
Some local suppliers and contracted haulers may offer services like tailgate spreading, light spreading at the driver's discretion, hauling off excess material, or recommending contractors for compaction. These services vary by supplier and are not guaranteed, so request them at checkout and confirm availability in advance.
Mad River's rural terrain can include slopes, rocky patches, and organic or clay-rich soils that affect drainage and compaction. Choose materials with appropriate grain size and angularity for slope stability and drainage, and plan for additional grading, geotextile, or compaction where soil is soft or uneven.
Delivered cost depends on material type and quantity, distance from the supplier, truck access difficulty, and any extra services like expedited delivery or spreading. Use our online quote tool to see transparent pricing for your zip code and contact our team if you need a detailed estimate for larger jobs.
Due to regional sourcing, material texture and color can vary; if the material differs from expectations or you need to change an order, contact our support team as soon as possible. We'll do our best to accommodate changes before dispatch and help resolve issues according to our policies.
As of today, we require 2 business days for delivery.

The material will be delivered via dump truck. If your order is under 20 tons, then it will likely be just one dump truck load. If your order is more than 20 tons, it will be more than one dump truck load.

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.
Hassle Free! Our goal is to make the buying process for gravel and other aggregates as easy and seamless as possible. Enter your zip code on our site, select how much material you need (see below FAQ’s to determine order size), select the date and time frame you would like your material delivered at Checkout, and place your order with any major credit card. After the order is placed our in-house support team will contact you to confirm the details. We will send additional confirmations on the day before and the day of delivery. On delivery day, a dump truck will arrive to dump the materials at your specified location. We request that you have someone available to accept the delivery so that we can make sure to dump it in the correct location. That’s it!
No, because we are a national supplier, we utilize our existing network of suppliers across the country. Therefore, the materials will likely be delivered from a contracted trucking company.
We specialize in making the aggregate buying process as easy and seamless as possible by managing the process from end to end. We have a network of suppliers that we source the materials from where we have negotiated rates. However, we do charge a markup and because of this you may be able to find the materials cheaper on your own. But if you want a hassle free experience, then we are for you!
