Materials Available for Delivery
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.
Red Shredded Mulch
Red shredded bark and wood from hardwoods like oak, hickory, and maple. Good for gardening and landscaping. Helps hold moisture, block weeds, and adds a bold, red pop to your outdoors.
Topsoil
High-grade soil enriched with organic matter. Perfect for landscaping, lawn establishment and repair, and for improving existing soil.
Fulfillment:
Should never be fulfilled with material that does not include an organic component, though organic components should be small.
2-10% organic is ideal
#57 Crushed Stone
Multi-use crushed stone for home & landscape projects. Ranging from ¾” to 1” in size, #57 stone is a versatile product used for concrete production, drainage applications, driveways, parking lots, and as base material under slabs and footings. Large enough to provide drainage but small enough to lock together when applied and create a stable base and a relatively smooth surface.
Fill Dirt
Versatile, lower-grade soil commonly used for volume and elevation changes in various construction and landscaping projects. Great for leveling or grading ground, backfilling pools and filling ditches, and evening out low points or depressions on your property.

Why Penn Valley Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Penn Valley is a small but active community with a city population of 8,700, sitting inside a larger regional market of 7.9+ million residents. A steady growth rate of 0.40% annually means construction and landscaping activity is gradual but consistent—homeowners are more often renovating yards, adding low-maintenance hardscapes, and addressing drainage or erosion issues than rushing large-scale new subdivisions. With about 204 sunny days per year and 49.77 inches of annual rainfall in hardiness zone 9a, material choices must balance sun exposure and significant wet-season events. That combination raises demand for durable base materials, well-draining aggregates, moisture-retaining soil amendments, and erosion-control supplies. For homeowners, that means selecting quality bulk materials—gravel, sand, dirt, mulch, and stone—that perform through sun, rain, and seasonal shifts, while also matching local color and texture through regional sourcing.Popular Projects in Penn Valley This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Penn Valley Gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in Penn Valley.
Choose materials based on the function of the area: load-bearing surfaces need durable base and topping, while planting beds and paths prioritize drainage and appearance. In Penn Valley's hilly, Mediterranean climate, consider the whole system (base, drainage, surface) rather than a single product; gravel, sand, dirt, stone and mixes are all used depending on the need. Use our material calculator or contact the sales team to match material characteristics to your project.
On slopes prioritize materials and methods that promote drainage and stabilization, such as angular aggregates, engineered mixes, erosion fabric, and plants. Combining materials with proper grading, retaining features, and diversion channels reduces washout in heavy rains common in the wet season. Talk to local suppliers about regionally appropriate mixes that reflect Penn Valley geology and climate.
Late spring through early fall is generally the best window for grading, paving, and landscaping because soils are drier and permit faster installation. Winter and early spring can be wetter and may delay work or require added erosion control. Always plan for at least two business days lead time for standard delivery or request next-day service when timing is critical.
Yes, many suppliers and haulers deliver to rural Penn Valley locations, but delivery depends on road access, turnaround space, and weight limits. Narrow, steep, or soft driveways may restrict truck access or require offloading in a staging area. Send photos and detailed access notes at checkout so haulers can confirm serviceability before dispatch.
Hello Gravel typically requires a 3 ton minimum and uses dump trucks (often tri-axle) for delivery. Standard delivery is 2+ business days, and next-day delivery is available for orders placed before noon CST for an additional fee; tailgate spreading can be requested but is performed at the driver's discretion. You will receive a delivery confirmation with timing and driver instructions once the order is scheduled.
Costs depend on the material group, quantity, haul distance, site access, and any extra services such as spreading or disposal. Instead of generic per-ton figures, get a quote through Hello Gravel for transparent pricing that accounts for local sourcing and regional haulers. Factor in installation labor, compaction, and possible permit or erosion-control costs when estimating your total project budget.
Some projects that involve large fills, significant grading, or changes to drainage may require permits from Nevada County or local agencies. Regulations vary by scope and location, so check with the county building or planning department before ordering large volumes. If you have questions, contact our team and we can help you gather details to share with local authorities.
Durability depends on how the material is used: compacted bases resist rutting and reduce maintenance for driveways, while looser surfaces may need periodic topping and weed control. In Penn Valley's climate, good drainage and proper installation reduce winter washout and long-term upkeep across gravel, sand, dirt, stone and blends. Choose materials based on traffic, desired look, and willingness to perform periodic maintenance.
Yes, many local contractors in the West California metro area regularly handle large aggregate deliveries and full installation jobs. Hello Gravel coordinates with local suppliers and professional haulers to support contractor schedules and staging needs, but it helps to confirm crew availability and site logistics in advance. For large or phased jobs, provide detailed access notes and a delivery window when you book.
Provide the project address and zip code (Penn Valley 95946), desired material group (gravel, sand, dirt, stone), estimated volume, preferred delivery date, and clear photos or notes about access and staging. Indicate any special instructions such as spreading requests or restricted delivery hours so haulers can assess feasibility. Use our online material calculator or contact the sales team for help refining quantities and scheduling.

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. We have a network of suppliers that we source the materials from where we have negotiated rates.
