Why Redwood Valley Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Redwood Valley, West California, California, has a city population of 4,840 and a steady growth rate of 0.50% annually. Nestled within the Ukiah, CA Micropolitan Area, the community sees 220 sunny days per year, an annual rainfall of 40.00 inches, and sits in hardiness zone 9b. That combination of wet winters and warm, dry summers, along with measured local development, creates steady demand for durable, well-draining aggregates. Homeowners and contractors often turn to gravel for long-lasting driveways, erosion control on sloped lots, base material under patios and sheds, and pathways that stand up to seasonal runoff. Because local soils and topography vary across the valley, selecting the right gravel size and angularity helps stabilize surfaces, improve drainage, and reduce maintenance over time while preserving the region’s natural character. Given Redwood Valley’s annual rainfall of 40.00 inches and 220 sunny days per year, angular crushed gravel and properly graded mixes perform especially well: they shed water, interlock under compaction, and resist displacement during storm events. Gravel also complements drought-tolerant plantings common in hardiness zone 9b and keeps outdoor spaces usable throughout the year. Hello Gravel connects homeowners with locally sourced gravel, transparent pricing, and scheduled delivery from professional haulers, plus tools like a material calculator and local guidance to help you choose the right gradation for driveways, French drains, and garden paths before scheduling delivery.Popular Projects in Redwood Valley This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Redwood Valley gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in Redwood Valley.
Hello Gravel connects you with local suppliers and contracted dump truck haulers serving Redwood Valley (Mendocino County). Deliveries are typically by tri-axle dump truck with a minimum order of 3 tons; standard delivery is 2+ business days and next-day delivery is available for orders placed before noon CST for an extra fee. Drivers may be able to do tailgate spreading at their discretion, and regional sourcing means material color and texture can vary by supplier.
Local gravel prices in rural Northern California commonly range from about $20 to $60 per ton delivered depending on material type (river rock, crushed rock, decomposed granite), availability, and distance from the quarry. Delivery fees vary with road access, truck distance, and minimums; Hello Gravel provides transparent, location-specific quotes so you can see material and delivery costs before you order. Seasonal demand and volume ordered (larger orders lower per-ton cost) also affect final pricing.
For Redwood Valley's hot, dry summers and occasional heavy winter rains, angular crushed rock (for example 3/4" minus or 3/4"-1" crushed stone) is usually best because it locks together and resists rutting on slopes. Decomposed granite (DG) gives a compact, natural look and is fine for low-traffic drives but can wash or rut on steep, rainy grades unless stabilized. River rock looks attractive but rolls under load and is not recommended for driveways where vehicle traction and compaction are important.
A common approach is a layered base: 4-6 inches of compacted road base or crushed rock for light residential use, with a 2-3 inch wearing course of crushed stone or DG on top. For heavier loads or steeper driveways, increase base thickness to 6-8 inches and compact each 2-3 inch lift with proper compaction equipment. Proper drainage, edging, and occasional replenishment after winter rains are equally important to prevent washouts and keep the surface stable.
Permit and HOA rules vary: some Mendocino County road and planning standards and local homeowners associations may have rules about driveway surfacing, driveway setbacks, or stormwater control. Before you install, check Mendocino County Planning and Building or your HOA for any driveway, grading, or drainage requirements and whether a permit or engineered plan is needed. If in doubt, contact Hello Gravel or the county to help you confirm local rules before ordering materials.
Hot, dry summers make surfaces dusty and can loosen fines, while episodic winter rains can wash fines and cause rutting or erosion on unprotected slopes. Expect to regrade, top up material, and recompact periodically—usually yearly or every few years depending on use—and use weed control and a geotextile fabric where weeds or washouts are a problem. Proper base preparation and drainage are the best ways to extend a gravel surface's useful life in this climate.
Use angular, well-graded crushed rock for the driving surface and larger washed rock or riprap at the toe of slopes and in drainage swales to slow water and prevent scour. Combine rock with geotextile fabric, contouring or terracing, and proper surface drains or ditches to channel runoff away from the driveway. For steep or highly erodible sites, consult a local contractor or civil engineer for erosion control measures before buying material.
Measure length and width in feet and desired depth in inches, then calculate: cubic yards = (length x width x depth in inches) / 324. Multiply cubic yards by a typical pack density of about 1.3 to 1.5 tons per cubic yard (use 1.4 for a conservative estimate), and round up to account for compaction and waste. Example: a 20 ft x 20 ft driveway at 4 in depth: (20 x 20 x 4)/324 = 4.94 yd3 x 1.4 = about 6.9 tons; note Hello Gravel has a 3-ton minimum order.
Gravel is typically the lowest upfront cost and is easy to maintain and repair, but it requires periodic replenishment and can be vulnerable to erosion on steep or rainy sites. Asphalt offers a smoother, more durable surface for driveways at mid-range cost but needs periodic sealing and can soften in extreme heat; concrete is highest upfront cost and longest-lasting but is more expensive to repair and may reflect runoff to adjacent areas. For hilly, drainage-sensitive Redwood Valley lots, gravel with proper drainage or asphalt with engineered subbase are common practical choices—get local quotes to compare lifecycle costs.
Yes, recycled materials such as crushed concrete or reclaimed asphalt base are often available from regional suppliers and can be an economical and environmentally friendly option for road base or driveway subbase. Quality varies, so verify particle size, compaction properties, and any contaminants with the supplier before purchase. Hello Gravel can help source and compare recycled and virgin aggregate options from local suppliers to match your performance needs and budget.
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.
