Why Salton City Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Salton City is a small but active community with a city population of 842 and connections to a regional market that includes a metro area population of 2.5+ million. With an annual growth rate of 0.80% annually and a climate that averages 228 sunny days per year and 34.25 inches of annual rainfall in a hardiness zone of 8b, homeowners here balance sunny, dry stretches with episodes of significant rain. That mix drives steady demand for durable, well-draining materials for driveways, pathways, erosion control, and landscape projects. Local homeowners and contractors often look for reliable aggregates that stand up to sun exposure, manage storm runoff, and minimize maintenance over time, which is why quality gravel is a frequent choice for residential projects in the area. Gravel works well in Salton City because it improves drainage on soils affected by episodic rains and resists breakdown under high sun exposure. Properly sized gravel provides quick surface runoff, reduces erosion on slopes, and creates low-maintenance walkways and driveways that suit local conditions. Hello Gravel connects Salton City homeowners with local suppliers and professional haulers so you get regionally sourced gravel matched to local geology, transparent pricing, and scheduled delivery. Orders start at a 3-ton minimum and are delivered by dump truck; standard delivery requires 2+ business days, with next-day options available for orders placed before noon CST.Popular Projects in Salton City This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Salton City gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in Salton City.
A typical tri-axle dump truck load in Salton City will usually carry about 10 to 14 cubic yards (roughly 10 to 18 tons depending on the material). Because prices vary with material type and local supply, expect a delivered range of about $300 to $900 for a single truck load, with remote delivery or specialty stone costing more. Hello Gravel requires a 3-ton minimum and will show exact pricing and delivery fees when you enter your zip code.
One ton of gravel generally covers about 100 to 115 sq ft at a 2-inch depth (about 110 sq ft is a good rule of thumb). Coverage changes with stone size and compaction: for 3 inches plan on about 70 to 80 sq ft per ton. Use our material calculator or contact our team for a precise estimate based on the gravel you choose.
Price for 10 tons depends on the aggregate type and delivery distance; a local bulk rate often falls between $40 and $80 per ton in the Salton City area, so 10 tons could be roughly $400 to $800 before any delivery fees. Hello Gravel shows an exact total when you pick material and enter delivery details, and remember our minimum order is 3 tons.
For a 1,000 sq ft area at 2 inches depth you will need about 9 tons of gravel (roughly 8.5 to 9.5 tons depending on stone density). At local Salton City rates of about $40 to $80 per ton, expect material costs of roughly $360 to $720 plus any delivery fees; final pricing appears at checkout when you select a supplier.
Two inches is usually too thin for a driveway that will see vehicle traffic; it can work as a top dressing over a well-compacted base for light use. For most residential driveways in Salton City we recommend 3 to 4 inches of compacted gravel over a proper base for durability and to resist washout during rare heavy rains.
A 10x10 area (100 sq ft) at 2 inches depth needs about 1 ton of gravel, and at 3 inches needs about 1.5 tons. Because materials vary, round up slightly and account for settling when ordering in Salton City.
The most economical option is buying locally sourced common crushed gravel or crusher-run in bulk and having it delivered by truck, which reduces per-ton costs compared with bagged product. Ordering the minimum 3-ton bulk delivery through Hello Gravel and choosing a nearby supplier typically yields the best price, though remote delivery charges can increase costs in the Salton City area.
A 20x20 driveway is 400 sq ft. At 3 inches depth you would need about 10 to 12 tons; at $40 to $80 per ton, material cost would be roughly $400 to $960, plus delivery. Final cost depends on gravel type, compaction, and any grading or base prep required.
A 7x14 dump trailer typically holds about 5 to 7 cubic yards of loose gravel depending on the trailer height and how full it is. In tons that usually translates to roughly 7 to 10 tons for common gravel, but exact capacity depends on the material density and trailer specs.
Gravel itself does not 'expire' but a gravel driveway or surface will need maintenance; expect 10 to 15 years of service with periodic regrading and spot add-back, depending on traffic and drainage. Salton City’s hot desert climate and occasional heavy rains can cause settling and washouts, so seasonal checks and occasional top-ups keep surfaces performing longer.
If you mean covering 1,000 sq ft around a house with a 2-inch layer of gravel, plan for about 9 tons. If you want deeper coverage for pathways or beds (3 to 4 inches), plan for 13 to 18 tons. Local factors like edging, slopes, and proximity to the Salton Sea (salt exposure) can change recommended material and depth.
A typical tri-axle dump truck load of about 10 to 14 cubic yards will cover roughly 1,200 to 1,600 sq ft at 2 inches depth, depending on how many cubic yards you receive and stone density. Exact coverage varies by material and compaction, so check the cubic yard amount when you order.
Locally sourced crusher-run or base rock is usually the most cost-effective option for driveways because it compacts well and uses locally available materials. Pea gravel and decorative stones tend to cost more and may shift under traffic, so for budget-friendly durability choose a compactable crushed aggregate and proper base preparation.
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.
