Why Mecca Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Mecca has a population of 14,220. With a steady growth rate of 0.40% annually, construction and landscaping demand here is consistent rather than explosive—homeowners and small contractors are likely to plan incremental upgrades, maintenance, and backyard projects instead of large-scale redevelopment. The local climate—about 204 sunny days per year and 49.77 inches of annual rainfall in a USDA hardiness zone 9a—creates a mix of material needs: durable, UV-resistant surface materials for exposed areas; well-graded aggregates and sand for reliable drainage after heavy rains; and soil blends and mulches that help retain moisture for drought-tolerant plantings. Trends toward outdoor living, low-water landscaping, and smart drainage solutions mean buyers need a range of products—gravels, soils, sands, mulches, and stone—sourced to match local geology and weather patterns.Popular Projects in Mecca This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Mecca Gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in Mecca.
Homeowners and contractors in Mecca typically choose from a mix of gravel, sand, dirt, and stone depending on the application. Permeable aggregates are popular for driveways and paths, while coarser mixes are used for drainage and base layers. Color, texture, and local availability will influence the final choice, so consider samples or small test areas before committing.
Mecca's hot, arid climate increases dust, accelerates drying and can make fine materials more prone to wind erosion. Choose denser, well-graded materials for driveways and high-traffic areas, and consider surface finishes or stabilizers to reduce dust. Also plan installation for cooler times of day or seasons to improve compaction and worker comfort.
Hello Gravel has a minimum order of 3 tons and standard delivery typically requires 2+ business days from order. Next-day delivery is sometimes available for orders placed before noon CST for an additional fee. Delivery fees and timing depend on local supplier availability and your zip code, so check your zip or request a quote at checkout.
Materials are delivered by contracted dump trucks (usually tri-axle) and drivers will place material where accessible and safe to do so. Tailgate spreading may be available at the driver's discretion if requested at checkout, but it is not guaranteed. If you have tight access, overhead wires, or a soft staging area, note that in your order so the dispatch team can plan.
Yes. Avoid peak midday heat in summer for heavy installation work; spring, fall, and mild winter days are often better for compaction and curing. Also plan around occasional seasonal storms: although rainfall is low, intense downpours can affect grading and drainage. Schedule deliveries and installations when ground conditions are stable to reduce rework.
Permits and restrictions vary by project type and location within Riverside County. Basic landscaping often does not require a permit, but grading, driveways, adding impermeable surfaces, or structures may trigger local requirements. Check Riverside County and local planning rules or consult your contractor before starting work.
Contractors measure the area (length x width) and desired depth to calculate cubic yards, then convert to tons using the material's density. A good rule is to calculate volume first, then use a material-specific conversion or Hello Gravel's material calculator to get tons and add 5-10% for waste and compaction. When in doubt, request help from our sales team with your project dimensions and preferred material.
Because Mecca is dry with occasional intense rain, designing for proper slope and drainage is important to avoid pooling and erosion. Use permeable aggregates or design drainage swales and compacted base layers where needed, and avoid blocking natural flow paths. For sloped sites consider terracing, edging, and erosion control measures to keep material in place during storms.
Homeowners often ask how much to order, where the material will be placed, how color and texture may vary, and whether drivers will spread material. They also want to know about minimums, delivery timing, and payment methods. We recommend measuring your area, using the material calculator, adding access notes at checkout, and contacting our team for any special requests.
Common issues include narrow roads, low-hanging power lines, unpaved or soft approaches that can bog down trucks, and municipal weight or road restrictions. Tri-axle dump trucks are typical, so ensure there is enough turning room and a firm staging area. Communicate any access limitations in your order notes and our dispatch team will coordinate with the hauler to plan a safe delivery.
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.

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.
