Why Maxwell Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Maxwell is a small but growing community with a city population of 1,456 located inside a larger metro area of 2.4+ million people. The region's steady growth (2.90% annually), 228 sunny days annually, and 35.92 inches of annual rainfall create a mix of landscaping needs: homeowners want hard-wearing surfaces that manage occasional heavy rain while standing up to long, sunny seasons. Gravel is a go-to aggregate for Maxwell projects because it improves drainage, reduces erosion on slopes, and creates durable driveways and paths that require low maintenance. For both DIYers and contractors, choosing the right size and compaction method matters—homeowners order quality aggregates to avoid washout, minimize weed growth, and get a dependable finished surface that suits local soil conditions and ongoing development in the metro area.Popular Projects in Maxwell This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Maxwell gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in Maxwell.
Prices vary by material, supplier, and delivery distance, but expect a typical range rather than an exact number. Rural Maxwell customers should check Hello Gravel for live quotes by zip code since hauling from nearby quarries or suppliers in Colusa County can affect price.
Calculate volume first: length x width x depth (in feet) divided by 27 gives cubic yards, then multiply by about 1.4 tons per cubic yard. For example, a 100 ft long, 12 ft wide driveway at 3 inches deep is about 11.1 cubic yards or roughly 15.5 tons; order 10-15% extra for compaction and waste and note Hello Gravel minimum orders start at 3 tons.
Well construction usually uses a filter pack of clean, rounded pea gravel or fine crushed rock (commonly around 3/8" to 1/2") to prevent fine sand from entering the well. Always follow your licensed well driller's recommendation because local aquifer conditions around Maxwell determine the proper pack size.
Cost depends on per-ton material price plus delivery and any truck access charges; Hello Gravel provides upfront quotes when you enter your zip code. Because Maxwell is a small town, deliveries from farther quarries can add hauling fees, so request a detailed quote and delivery window at checkout.
Most tri-axle dump trucks used by Hello Gravel carry about 10 to 16 tons of gravel per load, depending on local axle limits and the material's weight. If you need more than that, order in multiple loads or ask for a larger truck when you request a quote.
Because Hello Gravel sources materials regionally, color and texture can vary with local geology, so your gravel may not match photos exactly. You can add color preferences in Order Notes and ask suppliers for a sample or photo of the specific material before delivery.
Drivers may be able to perform tailgate spreading at their discretion and you should request it at checkout. There are no guarantees: the driver will assess safety, access, and the volume on arrival and may decline if conditions are unsuitable.
A 50 lb bag of gravel is roughly 0.5 cubic feet, so it will cover about 6 square feet at a 1-inch depth or about 3 square feet at a 2-inch depth. For larger jobs in Maxwell, bulk delivery by the ton is usually more economical than many bags.
Gravel driveways need periodic maintenance like regrading and adding fresh material, can cause tracking of stones into the house, and can be noisy or tricky to clear in wet or icy conditions. Maxwell's local climate and traffic levels will affect how often you need upkeep, so plan for occasional top-ups and maintenance.
Maxwell's small population (about 1,456) means lower local demand for bulk materials, but nearby agricultural and construction activity can spike demand seasonally. That regional demand and distance from quarries influence lead times and pricing, so check Hello Gravel for current inventory and delivery estimates.
Well depth depends on local geology and the depth of the aquifer rather than the gravel itself, so depths vary widely across California. Gravel is used as a filter pack around a well screen; talk to a licensed well driller in Colusa County to determine proper well depth and the correct gravel pack specification for Maxwell conditions.
Measure the area, decide on depth (commonly 1-3 inches for paths, 2-4 inches for driveways), then compute cubic yards: (length x width x depth in feet) / 27 and multiply by about 1.4 tons per cubic yard. For example, a 50 ft long, 3 ft wide path at 2 inches deep is about 0.9 cubic yards or roughly 1.3 tons; order a bit extra for compaction and waste.
Use Hello Gravel to compare local suppliers and get live quotes; many materials are sourced from nearby quarries in Colusa County or neighboring regions. Ask for photos or samples and compare per-ton pricing plus delivery to find the best balance of cost and look for your Maxwell project.
Minimum orders are 3 tons and standard delivery takes 2+ business days, with next-day delivery available for orders placed before noon CST for an extra fee. You can pay with major credit cards, PayPal, or Apple Pay, choose your delivery date at checkout, and add delivery notes like preferred drop location or spreading requests.
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.

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.
