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.
3/4″ Crushed Stone
A reliable, clean ¾” crushed granite or limestone with many applications. Great for gravel driveways, concrete mixes, landscaping applications, and backfilling retaining walls or around foundations.
3/8″ Natural Pea Gravel
Decorative and functional landscaping gravel. Small, naturally rounded stones create an aesthetic appeal when used for pathways, plant beds and garden borders. Also great for water features, rock gardens, dog runs and playground surfacing.

Why Salida Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Salida has a city population of 13,840 and is experiencing steady, modest expansion with a growth rate of 0.40% annually. That kind of gradual growth typically translates into consistent, predictable demand for home improvement and small-scale construction projects rather than sudden booms—think driveway repairs, garden remodels, and incremental home additions. With 204 sunny days per year and annual rainfall of 49.77 inches in hardiness zone 9a, local projects need materials that balance sun exposure and substantial wet-season runoff. Homeowners and contractors in Salida are increasingly focused on low-maintenance, climate-resilient outdoor spaces, stormwater-conscious grading, and durable surface solutions. That combination makes access to quality bulk materials—gravel, sand, dirt, mulch, and specialty aggregates—important for getting drainage right, preventing erosion, and building long-lasting driveways, patios, and planting beds that suit local conditions.Popular Projects in Salida This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Salida Gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in Salida.
For driveways, yards, and landscaping in Salida consider a range of materials—gravel, sand, dirt, stone—that suit load, drainage, and appearance needs. Choose a denser, well-compacted mix for driveways and heavier-use areas, and lighter, decorative mixes for garden beds and paths. Think about color and texture that match local style and ask suppliers about regional variations.
Pick materials based on the function: look for mixes that allow water to drain in wet periods and resist washing out on slopes. Coarser, angular material usually offers better interlock and durability, while finer material helps with leveling and weed control. If erosion is a concern, combine proper grading, edging, and vegetation with the right aggregate choice.
Estimate volume in cubic yards or tons by measuring length, width, and depth of the area and using a simple calculator; Hello Gravel’s material calculator can help. Typical depths are 3-6 inches for beds and paths and 4-8 inches for driveways, but contractor preferences may vary. Always order 5-10% extra to account for compaction, grading, and leftover waste.
Schedule major deliveries and installations in late spring through early fall to avoid winter rains and muddy conditions that slow work and delivery access. Salida has hot summers and occasional heavy rains in cooler months, so avoid scheduling tight timelines during storm season. Book deliveries at least a few days ahead and consider the 2+ business day standard or next-day option if available.
Yes, local suppliers and contracted trucking companies typically deliver to both residential neighborhoods and rural properties around Salida. Delivery access needs to be confirmed—drivers use dump trucks and may need sufficient turnaround space and safe drop zones. Provide clear delivery notes about gates, driveways, overhead wires, and preferred drop locations when you order.
Expect delivery by professional dump truck fleets (often tri-axle trucks) with a typical lead time of 2+ business days; next-day delivery can be available for orders placed before noon CST for an extra fee. Hello Gravel sets a minimum order of about 3 tons, and many areas have free delivery options. Drivers may offer tailgate spreading at their discretion; request it at checkout but do not expect guarantees.
Materials reflect regional sourcing, so texture, particle shape, and color can vary based on local geology. In Salida’s climate, choose materials that stand up to hot, dry summers and handle occasional heavy rains without excessive erosion. Ask suppliers about local performance and consider sealing or stabilization methods for high-traffic areas.
Permit requirements vary by project size and location, so check with the City of Salida or Stanislaus County planning and building departments for rules on driveways, large fill, and drainage changes. Simple residential landscaping projects often do not need permits, but larger excavations, changes to drainage, or curb cuts may. It is a good idea to confirm local regulations before ordering materials.
Many homeowners can handle small projects like garden beds, pathways, and minor leveling as DIY with proper preparation and basic tools. For driveways, major grading, retaining walls, or projects that affect drainage or require compaction, hiring a contractor is often safer and more efficient. Consider your comfort with earthwork, available time, and whether you can get proper compaction and grading for long-term performance.
Maintenance costs vary by material and use: decorative surfaces may need occasional top-ups every few years, while high-traffic surfaces can require more frequent replenishment or regrading. Budget for periodic topping, weed control, and regrading after heavy rains or settling; costs are driven by material price, access, and whether you hire labor. Ask local suppliers and contractors for regional maintenance estimates for planning.
Provide clear delivery notes about gate codes, driveway width, overhead lines, desired drop location, and any sensitive landscaping you want protected. Prepare the site by clearing obstacles, marking the drop area, and ensuring trucks can access and turn around safely. If you need spreading or placement help, request tailgate spreading at checkout and be prepared that drivers will assess safety and feasibility on arrival.
Delivery cost depends on material type, order size, distance from local suppliers, and site access; many areas offer free delivery for standard orders while remote drops or expedited service may incur fees. Hello Gravel provides transparent pricing at checkout and offers next-day delivery for qualifying orders with an added fee.

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.
