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.

Why Pleasant Hill Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Pleasant Hill, home to 31,050 residents and part of a broader West California metro area of 2.7+ million, is growing steadily at about 0.75% annually. With a temperate outlook — 228 sunny days per year, 34.25 inches of annual rainfall, and hardiness zone 8b — homeowners here tackle outdoor projects year-round. That steady growth and active residential development create consistent demand for reliable aggregates for driveways, drainage upgrades, garden beds, and foundation backfill. Homeowners and contractors look for materials that handle both summer sun and seasonal rains, stabilize slopes, and match neighborhood aesthetics; clear guidance on size, compaction, and drainage helps avoid overbuying and ensures long-term performance. Gravel is especially well-suited to Pleasant Hill’s climate: well-graded, angular mixes promote permeability to handle 34.25 inches of rain while resisting rutting in sun-exposed areas. For pathways, driveways, and base layers, choosing the right particle size and gradation improves drainage and reduces maintenance. Hello Gravel connects you with local suppliers who source materials that reflect the area’s geology, offers transparent pricing and scheduled dump-truck delivery, and helps you pick the right quantity and size so projects stay on schedule and perform for years.Popular Projects in Pleasant Hill This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Pleasant Hill gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in Pleasant Hill.
Delivered decorative or driveway gravel in Pleasant Hill typically ranges widely depending on type and distance; expect roughly $50 to $120 per ton delivered as a ballpark. Installation costs (grading, crushed rock base, compaction, labor) can add several hundred to several thousand dollars for a residential driveway. Hello Gravel lists clear delivered pricing and a 3-ton minimum, and our team can provide itemized quotes for material plus optional services.
Common local choices include decomposed granite (compact, natural look for paths and patios), crushed rock or crushed stone (angular, good for driveways and base layers), and pea gravel (smooth, decorative for walkways and play areas). Local suppliers reflect Bay Area geology so color and texture vary; pick crushed rock for structural work and DG or pea gravel for decorative, low-traffic areas. Ask suppliers for photos of local stock to match your design.
Small repairs or replacing existing material on a driveway usually do not need a building permit, but front-yard landscaping and changes to driveway width or paving can trigger city or county rules. Many HOAs have design standards that may restrict exposed gravel in front yards or require specific edging and rock sizes, so check your HOA guidelines. For certainty, contact Pleasant Hill Planning or your HOA before ordering materials.
Pleasant Hill has hot, dry summers and wetter winters, which means gravel holds up well for drainage in the dry months but can shift, settle, and migrate during winter rains. Expect some settling during the first rainy season; plan for light top-up and regrading after winter. Good drainage design, edging, and a compacted crushed-rock base reduce erosion and maintenance needs.
A useful quick formula: tons = square feet x depth (in inches) x 0.0043; for example a 1,000 sq ft driveway at 3" depth needs about 13 tons. Typical guidance: walkways 2" to 3", driveway topping 3" to 4" over a compacted 4" to 6" crushed-rock base, and drainage trenches or French drains often 6" to 12" depending on design. Remember Hello Gravel's minimum order is 3 tons and rounding up helps account for settling and compaction.
Gravel can work well on moderate slopes if you use proper base prep, edging, and erosion controls like terraces or rock steps; on steep slopes you may need retaining walls or larger riprap. Install geotextile fabric under the base, use a compacted crushed-rock subbase, and add edging or bender board to keep material in place. For seasonal heavy rains, consider swales, check dams, or planted groundcover to slow runoff before it reaches gravel areas.
Gravel is the lowest-cost material up front and is permeable so it reduces runoff, but it requires more frequent maintenance and may not be allowed by some HOAs. Asphalt is more durable and lower-maintenance for vehicle traffic but is impervious and increases stormwater runoff. Permeable pavers provide a durable, low-runoff solution with a higher installed cost; choose based on budget, maintenance tolerance, and local runoff or HOA requirements.
Yes, most local suppliers and Hello Gravel partners can provide crushed rock base and geotextile fabric as separate line items or bundled with gravel delivery. Crushed rock base is commonly used under driveways to stabilize and improve drainage, and fabric helps separate base from native soil to reduce sinking. Ask for these items when you quote or order; availability and fees vary by supplier.
Hello Gravel works with a network of local suppliers and contracted haulers that deliver across Pleasant Hill and Contra Costa County, with a typical minimum order of 3 tons. Delivery is usually by tri-axle dump truck; standard delivery is 2+ business days while next-day may be available for orders placed before noon CST for an extra fee. Delivery fees vary by distance and site access, and tailgate spreading may be offered at the driver's discretion.
For fire-wise yards in Pleasant Hill, choose non-combustible materials like 3/4" crushed rock or larger decorative rock within the defensible space around structures, and avoid combustible mulches near the house. Drought-tolerant designs pair gravel mulch with native, low-water plants and drip irrigation; use smaller decomposed granite or fine crushed rock for paths where a compacted finish is desired. Always confirm local fire department recommendations and HOA rules for defensible-space requirements.
Measure carefully and use the tons formula (sq ft x depth" x 0.0043) to avoid underordering; round up to cover settling and compaction. Provide clear delivery instructions, note access constraints or overhead lines, request tailgate spreading at checkout if desired, and contact Hello Gravel customer service promptly for any changes. Inspect the load at delivery for material type and quantity and keep photos and order notes if you need post-delivery support.
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.
