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 Pollock Pines Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Pollock Pines has a population of 7,320 and sits within a broader West California metro area of 2.5+ million residents. With an annual growth rate of 0.40%, demand for home improvements and site work is steady as homeowners update driveways, patios, and drainage systems. The local climate—about 225 sunny days annually and roughly 34.80 inches of rain per year—combined with foothill terrain in hardiness zone 8b, means properties face both sun exposure and periodic heavy precipitation. That mix increases the need for reliable aggregates: homeowners look for quality gravel to manage runoff, stabilize slopes, prevent erosion, and create durable drive surfaces that stand up to local soils and seasonal storms.Popular Projects in Pollock Pines This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Pollock Pines gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in Pollock Pines.
For Pollock Pines (Sierra Nevada foothills) choose angular crushed stone (3/4" to 1") for driveway bases because it compacts well and gives traction. Decomposed granite (DG) works well for paths and patios but can rut on vehicle traffic unless stabilized. Avoid loose round river rock on steep driveways because it rolls; consider geotextile, edging, and a compacted base for slopes.
Occasional snow and freeze-thaw cycles can cause frost heave, washouts, and surface movement if drainage and base are insufficient. A properly compacted base, good drainage, and angular aggregate reduce problems; expect to regrade and top up high-use areas seasonally. Plan for positive drainage away from structures to limit freeze-related damage.
Approximate amounts per 100 sq ft: 2" depth = about 0.9 tons, 4" = about 1.7 tons, 6" = about 2.6 tons. These are estimates using typical gravel density; steep, uneven ground or heavy traffic increase quantities needed, so round up and account for compaction. Hello Gravel has a 3-ton minimum order in many areas, so consider ordering extra for future maintenance.
Requirements vary by location, parcel zoning, and HOA rules. Some El Dorado County parcels or local HOAs have standards for driveway surfacing, drainage, and curb cuts, so check county planning and your HOA before ordering. If your property is on a steep or environmentally sensitive lot you may need extra approvals.
Gravel is typically the lowest initial cost but requires periodic maintenance like grading and topping every 3-7 years. Asphalt and concrete have higher upfront costs but tend to require less frequent full replacement; asphalt may need resurfacing over 10-20 years and concrete longer. For rural, snowy, or steep sites in Pollock Pines gravel can be more flexible and cheaper to repair, but expect higher upkeep in winter conditions.
Fees vary by supplier, access, and distance. Hello Gravel often offers transparent pricing and many areas have free delivery or a flat delivery fee, but remote or tight-access jobs can add a truck-access or tipping charge; local tipping fees commonly fall in the low hundreds of dollars for difficult drops. Contact Hello Gravel with your zip code for an exact quote and note the 3-ton minimum in many locations.
Use a compacted base and install a quality weed barrier fabric before placing gravel to limit weeds. Apply a top layer of larger decorative rock or stabilized gravel, use edging to keep material contained, and consider occasional herbicide spot-treatments or a binder/dust palliative for dust control. Regular maintenance like raking, topping up, and keeping vegetation trimmed will reduce dust and weed issues.
Yes—noncombustible, permeable crushed gravel can be a good surfacing material for defensible space because it reduces fine combustible mulch and helps drainage. Keep required clearance distances around structures per CAL FIRE and El Dorado County rules, maintain vegetation, and avoid placing combustible landscape features near the house. For steep sites consider erosion control measures like terraces, swales, or check dams to manage runoff.
On steep slopes choose angular, interlocking crushed material and install geotextile fabric, solid edging, and aggressive compaction to resist movement. Consider terracing, retaining walls, or step-down sections to reduce runout, and add drainage features to prevent washouts. For slopes over about 15% consult a contractor—professional stabilization and erosion control are often needed.
Hello Gravel connects you with local suppliers and haulers that service Pollock Pines; minimums often start at 3 tons through our platform. Some local quarries or suppliers may set higher minimums for remote drops—5 to 10 tons is not uncommon for long haul or tight-access jobs. Enter your zip code on the Hello Gravel site or request a quote to see suppliers, pricing, and minimums for your address.
Tailgate spreading may be available at the driver's discretion and can be requested at checkout, but it is not guaranteed. The driver will assess site conditions and safety on arrival before deciding whether to spread. If spreading is critical, discuss options with Hello Gravel customer service before delivery.
Clear the drop area of vehicles, low-hanging branches, and obstacles and mark the exact drop spot with stakes or cones. Confirm truck access, overhead clearance, and ground firmness; let Hello Gravel know about narrow drives, gates, or steep approaches. If you need a specific spread or edging, note it in order notes and request tailgate spreading, but expect the driver to assess safety on arrival.
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.
