Why Mount Shasta Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Mount Shasta is a community of 5,980 people set against rugged, variable terrain. With a steady growth rate of 0.70% annually and a climate that includes 228 sunny days and 34.25 inches of rain each year, homeowners here balance dry summers and wet seasons when planning outdoor projects. That mix of sun, rain, and mountain geography increases demand for durable, well-draining materials for driveways, erosion control, pathways, and foundations. Gravel is a common choice because it manages surface water, resists rutting on slopes, and pairs well with local soils in USDA hardiness zone 8b. Whether repairing a driveway after winter wear, building a raised planting bed, or improving yard drainage, homeowners want consistent sizing, clean material, and reliable delivery—making proper sourcing essential.Popular Projects in Mount Shasta This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Mount Shasta gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in Mount Shasta.
Typical delivered gravel in Mount Shasta ranges from about $30 to $70 per ton depending on type (pea gravel, crushed, decomposed granite) and local availability. Many Hello Gravel orders qualify for free delivery, but remote or steep properties around Mount Shasta may incur delivery charges of roughly $50 to $200 depending on distance and truck size; exact pricing is shown at checkout.
For Mount Shasta's freeze-thaw conditions, angular crushed rock (3/4" minus or 3/4" crushed) and well-graded crushed gravel perform best because they interlock and resist shifting. Pea gravel drains well but tends to migrate and can rut under freeze-thaw; decomposed granite compacts nicely for paths but may need stabilizer or additives on steep or heavily frozen slopes.
Hello Gravel matches you with local Siskiyou County and nearby Northern California suppliers (including Redding/Yreka-area sources) to reduce haul distance. Typical supplier delivery radiuses are 30 to 60 miles from the quarry or yard; for exact supplier options and delivery radius for your zip code, check availability on the site or contact our team.
Use this quick rule: a 3" depth requires about 0.013 tons per square foot and a 6" depth about 0.026 tons per square foot (based on common gravel density). For example, a 12' x 100' driveway (1,200 sq ft) needs roughly 16 tons at 3" and about 31 tons at 6".
Permit and HOA requirements vary: if your driveway connects to a county road, alters drainage, or requires grading work, Siskiyou County Public Works may require a permit or encroachment approval. Check with Siskiyou County and any HOA before ordering materials; Hello Gravel can help with quantities and delivery but cannot determine permit outcomes.
A strong subbase of angular crushed rock (class II road base or 3/4" minus) compacted in layers, plus a non-woven geotextile fabric for separation, is recommended to limit washouts and frost heave. On steep terrain, add geogrid, thicker base lifts, properly sized drainage (culverts, swales), and edge restraints to keep gravel in place during snowmelt and heavy runoff.
Expect regular light maintenance (grading and filling ruts) once or twice a year after winter, with partial replenishing every 2 to 5 years depending on traffic and slope. High-traffic driveways or those exposed to heavy freeze-thaw cycles may need resurfacing or added top dressing more frequently.
Material-only, gravel is typically the lowest-cost option (roughly $30 to $70 per ton), and installed gravel driveways usually cost far less upfront than asphalt, concrete, or pavers. Asphalt and concrete have higher upfront installation costs and different long-term maintenance needs; for a specific comparison on your Mount Shasta property, get local installed quotes that include grading and drainage work.
Yes. Winter snow, road closures, and seasonal quarry schedules can limit availability and delay deliveries around Mount Shasta, especially for specialty colors or screened materials. Order early for spring/summer projects and check delivery windows during heavy winter months; Hello Gravel will show delivery options and any expected delays at checkout.
Hello Gravel's minimum order nationwide is 3 tons, which suits small yard projects. Common truckloads to Mount Shasta include small dump loads of about 6 to 8 tons and tri-axle end dumps of about 10 to 14 tons, with per-truck pricing shown in checkout depending on material and distance.
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.
