Decomposed Granite
Known for its natural look, this compact, durable material drains well and holds up in high-traffic areas.

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

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 Porterville Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Porterville has a city population of 70,534 and sits within a West California metro area of 2.5+ million residents. With a steady growth rate of 0.40% annually, demand for home improvement, hardscaping, and small-scale construction projects is rising modestly. The local climate — about 228 sunny days per year, an annual rainfall of 34.25 inches, and a hardiness zone of 8b — supports year-round landscaping but also creates site-specific challenges: sun-baked soils, occasional heavy downpours, and irrigation-driven erosion. These conditions make durable, well-draining aggregates a priority for driveways, pathways, drainage trenches, and base layers. Homeowners value gravel that performs reliably in Porterville's climate, matches local geology, and arrives in the right quantity to avoid project delays and extra hauling costs.Popular Projects in Porterville This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Porterville gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in Porterville.
Expect a wide range depending on material and service: material-only prices for common gravel often run about $25 to $60 per ton in the Porterville area, while delivered costs typically fall between $40 and $100 per ton. If you want tailgate spreading, budget an additional $8 to $25 per cubic yard depending on site difficulty; this service is offered at the driver’s discretion. These are estimates—get a specific quote through Hello Gravel for delivery date, exact product, and any spreading fees.
For driveways, angular crushed rock (3/4" to 1") is usually best because it locks together and resists migration on slopes. Decomposed granite (DG) and compactable blends perform well in dry climates for patios and pathways but can produce dust unless stabilized; pea gravel is attractive for patios but can move and is harder to compact for driving surfaces. Consider local soil and slope: ask our team about mixes with fines or stabilizers if you need more compaction or dust control.
Porterville’s hot, relatively dry Mediterranean climate means less vegetation but more dust and surface loss of fine particles over time. Expect to rake and top up high-traffic areas every 1–3 years, and plan for extra compaction or a stabilizer if you want a firmer surface. Heavy winter storms are infrequent but can wash out loose material, so check drainage and edging before installation.
Use this quick guide: 1 cubic yard covers about 162 sq ft at 2" depth, 108 sq ft at 3" depth, and 81 sq ft at 4" depth. Because gravel density varies, 1 cubic yard is roughly 1.2–1.4 tons in our region; that works out to about 130 sq ft per ton at 2", 86 sq ft per ton at 3", and 65 sq ft per ton at 4". For best results, measure your area, choose desired depth, and use Hello Gravel’s calculator or request a quote so we can account for material type and local densities.
Hello Gravel partners with local West California suppliers and haulers that deliver bulk gravel to Porterville and surrounding areas—check your zip code on our site to see available suppliers. If you need installation or dedicated spreading beyond tailgate service, request that when you order so we can connect you with contractors or local vendors who offer installation. We recommend getting quotes that include delivery, spreading, and any compaction or edging work.
Regulations vary: some City of Porterville and county rules cover driveway connections, drainage, and work in the public right-of-way, and HOAs may have rules about surface type and appearance. Before installing, contact Porterville Planning or your HOA to confirm any setback, drainage, or material restrictions. If your project affects stormwater or driveway approach, you may need a permit or inspected work.
Provide your exact delivery address and preferred delivery date, specify the gravel type and size (for example 3/4" crushed rock or decomposed granite), state desired delivery location on the property, and note any access issues like low overhead lines, narrow gates, or steep grades. Mention if you want tailgate spreading requested at checkout, but remember spreading is at the driver’s discretion. Also confirm minimum order (Hello Gravel minimum is 3 tons) and any next-day delivery cutoff if you need fast service.
Hello Gravel uses local suppliers, so texture, color, and minor composition will reflect West California geology and local pits near Porterville. This means samples and photos may not be an exact match, and fines or color can vary seasonally. You can add color or texture preferences in Order Notes, and we’ll do our best to match them while noting natural variation.
Standard delivery typically takes 2 or more business days; next-day delivery is available for orders placed before noon CST for an extra fee, subject to local supplier availability. Deliveries are made by contracted dump truck fleets (often tri-axle) and drivers will assess spreading requests on arrival. Confirm access, ideal staging location, and any permits ahead of time to avoid delays.
Install a good base and edge restraint, grade for drainage away from structures, and compact properly—these steps reduce shifting and washouts in Porterville’s climate. Use angular crushed stone for driveways to improve interlock, consider a stabilizer or polymer binder to reduce dust on patios, and plan to top up high-traffic areas every few years. If you have steep slopes or unusual drainage, consult local pros or request installation help through Hello Gravel.
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.
