Gravel: Sun-Friendly Drainage And Stability • Next-Day Gravel Delivery In Red Bluff
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 Red Bluff Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Red Bluff, with a city population of 23,610 and located in a metro area of 2.7+ million, is a small but growing community experiencing steady development. With a growth rate of 1.00% annually, ongoing residential and light commercial projects create steady demand for reliable aggregates. The local climate—228 sunny days per year and 34.25 inches of annual rainfall in hardiness zone 8b—means homeowners need materials that handle both sun exposure and periodic wet spells. That combination drives demand for gravel that provides durable surfaces, effective drainage, and low maintenance for driveways, walkways, patios, and erosion control around foundations and garden beds. Gravel works well in Red Bluff because it sheds water quickly, resists compaction from sun-driven drying and occasional rains, and blends with regional soils and plantings. For typical local projects, well-graded, angular gravel improves traction and drainage while minimizing washout during storms. Hello Gravel connects Red Bluff homeowners with local suppliers that reflect the area’s geology, offers transparent pricing, and schedules delivery on a timeline that fits your project — standard delivery in 2 business days with next-day options available for orders placed before noon CST. We handle coordination with local haulers so you get the right gravel, when you need it.Popular Projects in Red Bluff This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Red Bluff gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in Red Bluff.
Prices vary by type and supplier, but expect common bulk gravel in the Red Bluff area to range roughly from $30 to $80 per ton (about $40 to $100 per cubic yard) delivered. Finer decorative gravels, specialty colors, or small delivery runs raise the price; recycled materials are often cheaper. Contact our team or check your zip code for supplier-specific quotes and delivery fees.
Yes — Tehama County and nearby cities like Redding and Chico have quarries and landscape supply yards that serve Red Bluff. Most suppliers use dump trucks for delivery and offer optional tailgate spreading at the driver's discretion; request spreading at checkout but note drivers assess safety on arrival. Hello Gravel connects you with local suppliers and manages delivery scheduling for you.
For driveways, compactable mixes like crusher run or 3/4" minus crushed stone give a firm surface and resist rutting in hot, dry conditions. Decomposed granite is good for pathways and low-traffic areas, while larger river rock or riprap works better for erosion control on channels and drains. In Red Bluff's dry climate, choose materials that compact and interlock, and plan for dust control and edging to keep material in place.
Using a typical gravel density of about 1.4 tons per cubic yard, 1,000 sq ft requires approximately: 2" = ~9 tons, 3" = ~13 tons, 4" = ~17 tons. These are estimates that assume uniform depth and a compactable material; local stone density and settlement can change totals, so allow a 5-10% overage when ordering. Use our material calculator or contact us for a more exact estimate for your chosen product.
Permitting and HOA rules can vary by address. City of Red Bluff and Tehama County may have rules about driveway changes, curb cuts, stormwater runoff and setbacks, and many HOAs have restrictions on materials and colors. Check with Red Bluff Planning/Building Departments and your HOA before ordering, and keep permit or design requirements in mind when selecting material.
For slopes, use angular crushed stone with fines (for example 3/4" minus or crusher run) so the particles lock together and resist movement. Combine the gravel with a geotextile fabric, edge restraint, and proper drainage or terraces; for very steep or high-flow areas use larger rock or riprap. Good site prep and drainage are as important as stone size for preventing washout.
Installation costs depend on site prep and materials, but a rough breakdown is: materials 40-60% of the total, grading and base prep 15-30%, compaction and equipment 10-20%, and labor/trimming 10-20%. For a 1,000 sq ft driveway, total installed costs commonly range widely based on site conditions; request local contractor estimates and remember Hello Gravel can deliver the material while local contractors handle installation.
Well-installed crusher-run or compacted gravel driveways can last 10-20 years with periodic maintenance, while decorative top dressings typically need refreshes every 3-7 years. Expect to regrade low spots, add new stone to thin areas, control weeds, and manage dust in hot, dry months. Good edge restraints, drainage upkeep, and occasional rolling/compaction extend lifespan and reduce the need for frequent top-up.
Gravel is the lowest upfront cost and offers great drainage but requires more ongoing maintenance. Asphalt gives a smooth, durable surface that lasts longer with less frequent maintenance but is less permeable and costs more initially. Permeable pavers cost the most to install but provide excellent stormwater control and low long-term maintenance; choose based on your budget, drainage priorities, and desired upkeep level.
Recycled crusher run and recycled aggregates are often available regionally from concrete and asphalt recyclers and are commonly cheaper than virgin stone — typically 10-30% less depending on supply. Recycled material can vary in consistency and color, while virgin gravel is usually more uniform. We can source either option through local suppliers; note that availability and pricing fluctuate with local markets and demand.
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.
