Drain Rock
A larger 1 ½” crushed gravel that allows for water flow and drainage, preventing accumulation and pooling when properly installed. Perfect for french drains and other drainage applications, around utility lines, septic systems, sump pump basins and drainage pits.
Brown Shredded Mulch
Shredded bark and wood from trees like oak, hickory, and maple, used for landscaping and gardening applications. Provides moisture retention in your soil, weed suppression, temperature regulation for plants, and the gradual addition of organic matter as it decomposes slowly over time. Adds a beautiful, finished look to your home’s exterior.
Mason Sand
A fine, clean sand for construction and masonry. Use it under pavers or turf, mix it into mortar or soil, or spread it across your lawn to smooth out bumps and low spots in your lawn.
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.
Red Shredded Mulch
Red shredded bark and wood from hardwoods like oak, hickory, and maple. Good for gardening and landscaping. Helps hold moisture, block weeds, and adds a bold, red pop to your outdoors.

Why Richvale Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Richvale has a population of 352, and with a modest growth rate of 0.40% annually this community is seeing steady, manageable demand for home improvements and targeted construction rather than rapid expansion. That steady pace means many projects are homeowner-led renovations, drainage fixes, and small-scale hardscape or garden upgrades that need reliable bulk materials in the right quantities. Local climate and geography—about 204 sunny days per year combined with 49.77 inches of annual rainfall and placement in USDA hardiness zone 9a—produce both sun-driven drying and seasonal wet periods. Those conditions favor materials and mixes that balance drainage and moisture retention, resist erosion during heavy rains, and hold up under regular sun exposure. For homeowners in Richvale, quality bulk supplies such as topsoil, sand, gravel, and mulch directly influence how durable and low-maintenance finished landscapes and outdoor projects will be.Popular Projects in Richvale This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Richvale Gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in Richvale.
Start by thinking about function: drainage, load-bearing, appearance, and budget. Choose materials based on performance rather than name—consider gravel, sand, dirt, stone as a group for drainage, base, or top dressing applications—and match the material size and depth to the project. If you are unsure, use our material quiz or contact the Hello Gravel team for a recommendation based on local conditions.
Common projects include driveways and access roads, patios and walkways, erosion control and berms, grading and backfill, and garden or raised-bed work. These projects often use a combination of materials such as gravel, sand, dirt, stone depending on the application and local soil conditions. Contractors and DIYers alike order bulk materials when doing larger landscaping or site-prep jobs.
Measure the length, width, and desired depth, then use the simple formula: cubic yards = (area in square feet x depth in inches) / 324. As a rough weight guide, 1 cubic yard typically equals about 1.2 to 1.6 tons depending on the material; allow extra for compaction and waste. Use Hello Gravel's material calculator or contact our team for a quick estimate tailored to your project.
Richvale has hot summers, mild winters, and some flood risk, so choose materials that support drainage and resist washout for low-lying or flood-prone areas. Schedule major deliveries and earthwork for the drier months when possible to avoid compaction and access issues after storms. For seasonal work, plan extra time for inspections, permitting, and drying or settling of fills.
Small landscaping deliveries are often allowed without special permits, but larger fills, significant grading, or changes to drainage can require permits or inspections from Butte County or local agencies. Check with Butte County planning, public works, or your city office before ordering large volumes and mention permit needs to our team so we can note the delivery. When in doubt, call local authorities to confirm requirements for your specific project.
Standard delivery is typically 2+ business days from order, with a next-day option available for orders placed before noon CST for an additional fee. Minimum order size is 3 tons and deliveries are made by contracted dump trucks (usually tri-axle), with regional suppliers providing materials that reflect local geology. You can choose your preferred delivery date at checkout and will receive confirmation once the hauler is scheduled.
Delivery cost depends on distance from the supplier, load size, and local haul rates; some customers qualify for free delivery while others pay a modest fee. Because Richvale is a smaller community, pricing can vary more with distance—check availability and exact pricing by entering your zip code on our site. For an accurate total, request a quote during checkout or contact our sales team.
Drivers may be able to perform tailgate spreading at their discretion, and you can request this service at checkout. The driver will assess safety and site conditions upon arrival; however, spreading is not guaranteed and depends on access, slope, and local regulations. If you need guaranteed spreading, consider booking a local contractor in addition to the delivery.
Ensure a clear and level drop zone with adequate width and height for a dump truck, remove low-hanging branches and vehicles, and mark the exact intended drop location. Protect nearby landscaping, fences, and utilities, and confirm any access restrictions or gate codes with our team before delivery. If ground conditions are soft or flooded, plan for temporary stabilization or reschedule to avoid getting trucks stuck.
Because we source regionally, texture and color can vary, so some difference from photos is normal for gravel, sand, dirt, stone and other aggregates. If you have concerns about quality, quantity, or the delivery itself, contact Hello Gravel customer service promptly so we can work with the supplier and hauler to resolve the issue. See our policies for refund or claim procedures and keep photos and delivery notes handy to speed resolution.
Professional contractors add allowances for compaction, subgrade irregularities, and waste—common practices include increasing calculated volume by 5% to 15% depending on the job. They start with cubic-yard calculations, then convert to tons if pricing is by weight and confirm with a supplier familiar with local material densities. If you're working with a contractor or DIYing, use our calculator and discuss anticipated compaction with our sales team for an accurate order size.
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.
Hassle Free! Our goal is to make the buying process for gravel and other aggregates as easy and seamless as possible. Enter your zip code on our site, select how much material you need (see below FAQ’s to determine order size), select the date and time frame you would like your material delivered at Checkout, and place your order with any major credit card. After the order is placed our in-house support team will contact you to confirm the details. We will send additional confirmations on the day before and the day of delivery. On delivery day, a dump truck will arrive to dump the materials at your specified location. We request that you have someone available to accept the delivery so that we can make sure to dump it in the correct location. That’s it!
No, because we are a national supplier, we utilize our existing network of suppliers across the country. Therefore, the materials will likely be delivered from a contracted trucking company.
We specialize in making the aggregate buying process as easy and seamless as possible by managing the process from end to end. We have a network of suppliers that we source the materials from where we have negotiated rates. However, we do charge a markup and because of this you may be able to find the materials cheaper on your own. But if you want a hassle free experience, then we are for you!
