Gravel: Engineered For Newcastle Drainage • Choose Your Gravel Delivery Date
Decomposed Granite
Known for its natural look, this compact, durable material drains well and holds up in high-traffic areas. Made from crushed and weathered granite down to a mix of fine gravel and sand—best for patios, paths, driveways, and landscape projects. Can range in color from light brown and tan to reddish and gray, depending on the natural stone color in the region.
Walkway Gravel
A smaller ⅜” crushed stone that is great for paths, patios, and garden walkways. Comfortable under foot thanks to its smaller size, and creates a beautiful garden-like atmosphere.
Road Base
(Class 5 | ABC | Crusher Run) A mixture of crushed limestone or granite, gravel, and sand, ranging from 1 ½” in size down to fines (small particles). Commonly used for constructing roads, driveway bases, parking lots, and other paved and unpaved surfaces. Intended to be compacted, hence the inclusion of fines within the material to provide support and be resistant to erosion and shifting.
Driveway Gravel
A ¾”-1” clean, crushed stone ideal for rejuvenating worn down gravel driveways, or for installing a fresh new driveway on your property. Aesthetically pleasing and functional!

Why Newcastle Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Newcastle has a city population of 6,270 and sits within a broader metro area of 2.5+ million, a market showing steady, measured expansion. With growth at 0.70% annually and a climate in hardiness zone 8b—about 228 sunny days each year and 34.25 inches of annual rainfall—local homeowners face both sunny, drought-prone stretches and periodic wet seasons that affect yards and driveways. That combination makes reliable aggregates important: gravel helps with drainage, reduces erosion on slopes, and provides a durable surface for driveways and pathways. As construction demand follows incremental growth, homeowners and small contractors prioritize well-graded, locally sourced materials that stand up to seasonal shifts and save on long-term maintenance.Popular Projects in Newcastle This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Newcastle gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in Newcastle.
Prices vary by gravel type and supplier, but expect ballpark delivery + material costs in the range of $30 to $80 per ton (roughly $40 to $120 per cubic yard) for common gravels in the Newcastle area. Final price depends on material (pea gravel, crushed rock, river rock), delivery distance within Placer County, and any truck access or spreading requests. Check your zip code at checkout or contact our team for an exact quote and availability.
Hello Gravel connects you with local Placer County suppliers and haulers that commonly stock crushed rock, decomposed granite, pea gravel, and river rock suited to West California geology. Exact supplier names and inventory depend on your zip code and delivery date; that information appears during checkout once we match your order. If you need a specific material or color, add details in Order Notes or call our team for help.
For Newcastle's Mediterranean climate (wet winters, dry summers), crushed rock and decomposed granite perform well for driveways and paths because they compact and shed water. Pea gravel and river rock are attractive for drainage features and decorative uses but can shift in heavy winter runoff unless stabilized or edged. Choose material based on use: structural needs call for crushed stone, while decorative areas can use pea or river rock with proper containment.
Newcastle sits in Placer County foothills where soils can vary from sandy loam to heavier clay pockets, so drainage performance is site-specific. Clayey soils hold water and increase washout risk, so a graded subbase, proper slope, and drainage swales or culverts are often needed for stable gravel driveways. We recommend a site assessment and at least a compacted base layer under the topping gravel to improve long-term stability.
Typical residential guidance: driveways - 4 to 6 inches of compacted top gravel over a 6-8 inch compacted base; pathways - 2 to 4 inches over a compacted base; patios - 3 to 4 inches over a stable base. One cubic yard of gravel weighs about 1.4 tons (varies by type), so use the formula: cubic yards = area (sq ft) x depth (in inches) / 324. For example, a 1,000 sq ft driveway at 4 inches requires about 12.3 cubic yards, roughly 17 tons.
Permit and HOA rules vary by neighborhood in Placer County and by HOA. Many rural or residential lots allow gravel driveways without a building permit, but steep driveways, drainage changes, or work in county right-of-way can trigger permit or encroachment requirements. Always check with Placer County Planning and your HOA before ordering materials to avoid costly changes.
Newcastle has wet winters and dry summers, so most washout and erosion happen during winter storms. Protect gravel areas with good grading, edge restraints, and drainage features (swales, culverts) and plan seasonal maintenance such as raking, topping up, and checking for low spots after winter. Regular maintenance and addressing drainage early will reduce long-term repair needs.
Installed costs depend on site prep, access, and size; expect a wide range roughly $3 to $10 per square foot for professional work in the Newcastle area, including base preparation and material placement. Complex sites with erosion control, grading, or retaining walls will be at the higher end; get 2-3 local quotes and ask suppliers on Hello Gravel to include delivery and spreading options in estimates. We can connect you with local contractors or haulers to get a more precise price.
Yes—geotextile fabric under the base helps separate native soil from aggregate and reduces mixing and settling, especially on clayey ground common in foothills. Gravel stabilizers, polymer binders, or interlocking grid systems can reduce shifting and tracking for decorative or high-traffic areas, but availability and suitability vary by material and slope. Ask our team about local supplier options and whether a stabilizer fits your budget and project goals.
Decorative gravels (colored pea gravel, polished river rock) are typically available in West California markets that serve Newcastle, but they are usually pricier than basic structural crushed stone due to sourcing and handling. Structural gravels used for driveways and subbase are widely available locally and tend to be more economical. If you need a specific color or type, note it at checkout—we will check local inventory and include any price difference in your quote.
As of today, we require 2 business days for delivery.

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.
