Gravel For Quincy: Erosion Control & Drainage • Fast Gravel Delivery From Local Suppliers
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.
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 Quincy Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Quincy, with a city population of 4,820 and located within a metro area of 2.5+ million residents, sits in hardiness zone 8b and sees 228 sunny days annually with about 34.25 inches of rain each year. That combination of sun and moderate rainfall, along with a steady 0.40% annual growth rate, creates consistent demand for durable, low-maintenance landscape and site materials. Homeowners here commonly need aggregates for driveways, walkways, drainage trenches, and erosion control on sloped yards. Gravel provides a cost-effective, permeable surface that reduces puddling after rain, holds up under sun exposure, and complements both xeriscape and traditional planting beds—making it a go-to choice for local projects where reliable performance matters.Popular Projects in Quincy This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Quincy gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in Quincy.
Costs vary by material, quantity, and distance from local suppliers. In Quincy and surrounding Plumas County, expect delivered gravel prices to range widely; for an accurate number, use our online quote tool or contact our team. Remember Hello Gravel has a 3-ton minimum and we arrange delivery with local haulers, so your final price will include material, delivery, and any fees for next-day service.
Needed quantity depends on desired depth. For example, for a 1,000 sq ft area: 2 inches of gravel requires about 5 cubic yards, 3 inches about 7.5 cubic yards, and 4 inches about 10 cubic yards. Use our material calculator for precise results and add a small overage for compaction and grading.
Material prices per ton depend on the gravel type and local availability. In rural Northern California markets like Quincy, costs can vary; the best approach is to request a quote through Hello Gravel because we show local supplier rates and any delivery fees. Keep in mind our minimum order is 3 tons, which often affects per-ton pricing on small jobs.
Order at least the 3-ton minimum to avoid small-order surcharges and choose standard delivery (2+ business days) when you can. Consolidating your needs into a single delivery and checking our online quotes for local supplier pricing helps reduce costs. Also consider coarser, locally sourced materials which can be cheaper than specialty decorative gravels.
Cost depends on width, depth, gravel type, and grading needs. For a 20 ft long driveway that is 10 ft wide, at 3 inches deep you would need roughly 1.9 cubic yards; final price will depend on material selection and delivery. Get a tailored quote from Hello Gravel with your exact dimensions and any site-access notes for an accurate estimate.
Two inches is generally too thin for a driveway that will see vehicle traffic, especially in Quincy where seasonal freeze and thaw can cause movement. We recommend 3 to 4 inches compacted over a well-graded base for light vehicle use, and more for heavier loads. If you are building a new driveway, consider adding a compacted subbase for better long-term stability.
A 10x10 area is 100 sq ft. At 2 inches depth you will need about 0.6 cubic yards, at 3 inches about 0.9 cubic yards, and at 4 inches about 1.2 cubic yards. Because our minimum order is 3 tons, most small jobs will require a larger delivery or combining orders with neighbors.
Crushed stone or angular gravel (for example 3/4 inch) is commonly recommended because it locks together and compacts well for drive surfaces. Local materials in Quincy may include mixed rock types; check photos and descriptions on our site and add color preferences in the Order Notes. For steeper drives, consider a smaller aggregate for better traction and compaction.
Putting gravel directly over grass is not recommended because the grass will die, decompose, and allow weeds to push up through the gravel. For best results remove topsoil and grass, install a geotextile fabric if desired for weed control, and add a compacted base before placing gravel. On small projects you may be able to save time by killing and removing sod first, but prepared base work improves longevity in local seasonal conditions.
Coverage depends on the truck size and depth of material. A typical tri-axle dump truck delivers around 10 to 14 tons (roughly 6 to 9 cubic yards) which at 3 inches depth will cover approximately 200 to 300 sq ft. Tell us your dimensions and preferred depth and we will estimate how many truckloads you need when you request a quote.
Locally sourced road base or reclaimed crushed material is often less expensive than decorative washed gravel or river rock. Using larger, native crushed stone as a base with a thinner top layer of decorative gravel can reduce cost while keeping the look you want. Ask our team about local supplier options and cost-effective mixes available near Quincy.
A pickup load is typically much smaller than a dump truck delivery and often less cost-effective once delivery fees are included. Hello Gravel coordinates standard dump truck deliveries (minimum 3 tons), which tend to be the most efficient option for most projects in Quincy. If you only need a very small amount, contact our team to discuss local pickup or small-load options when available.
As of today, we require 2 business days for delivery.

The material will be delivered via dump truck. If your order is under 20 tons, then it will likely be just one dump truck load. If your order is more than 20 tons, it will be more than one dump truck load.

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.
