Why San Miguel Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
San Miguel is a small city of 4,390 residents that is seeing steady, measured development. The local metro area counts 12,500 people overall, and the region grows about 1.02% annually. With 228 sunny days per year, a plant hardiness zone of 8b, and annual rainfall of 34.25 inches, San Miguel's climate supports active outdoor projects year-round while still requiring good drainage and erosion control. That modest, consistent growth drives a steady need for basic construction and landscaping materials — driveway upgrades, patio bases, garden beds, and drainage improvements — and homeowners look for reliable aggregates that perform well in sun-exposed, moderately wet conditions.Popular Projects in San Miguel This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - San Miguel gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in San Miguel.
Typical retail prices for bulk gravel in the West California region are roughly $35 to $80 per ton, depending on type (pea, crushed, or decomposed granite) and local supply. Delivery fees vary by distance and truck size; many orders in nearby areas qualify for free delivery, while others may see $40 to $150 added. Hello Gravel has a 3-ton minimum order and offers standard delivery in 2+ business days, with a next-day option for eligible orders placed before noon CST.
Common local options are crushed rock (angular 3/4" to 1"), pea gravel (small rounded stones about 1/8" to 3/8"), and decomposed granite (DG, fine, compactable). Crushed rock is best for driveways and drainage because it locks together; pea gravel is popular for decorative areas and play spaces but can shift; DG is great for pathways and patios where a firm, compact surface is wanted. Regional suppliers often carry local color variations, so expect hues reflecting West California geology.
San Miguel's warm, dry summers and occasional winter rains mean you should prioritize drainage and stability. Use angular crushed stone or DG with proper base and edging to reduce migration and washout; pea gravel can get dusty and move in hot, dry weather. Plan for periodic regrading after heavy rains and add a weed barrier or landscape fabric to limit weed growth during wetter months.
Hello Gravel connects you with several local West California suppliers and haulers that serve San Miguel and surrounding San Luis Obispo County. Minimums commonly start at 3 tons (Hello Gravel minimum), though some local quarries or landscapers may require 3 to 5 tons for delivery by dump truck. Check availability by entering your zip code on the site or contact our team for specific supplier options and scheduling.
Rules vary by HOA and county; San Miguel itself is a small community (population 4,390) and many design standards are set by neighborhood HOAs or San Luis Obispo County planning. Common restrictions include limits on stone color/size, requirements for edging or permeable surfaces, and prohibitions on loose rock in certain front-yard or historic areas. Always check your HOA guidelines and contact county planning before installing a new gravel surface.
A typical 1-car driveway (about 10 ft by 20 ft) at 4" depth needs roughly 2.5 cubic yards, or about 3.5 tons of gravel; at 6" depth expect about 5.2 tons. A 2-car driveway (about 20 ft by 20 ft) at 4" depth needs roughly 5 cubic yards, or about 7 tons; at 6" depth expect about 10.4 tons. Add about 10% extra for compaction, grading, and waste when ordering.
Gravel surfaces in West California typically last many years but need periodic upkeep: regrading to fill low spots after rains, topping up lost material every 3 to 7 years depending on traffic, and occasional edging repair. Drought reduces weed pressure but wind and small storms can cause dust and migration, so plan on spot repairs and adding fines or stabilizers if you want a firmer surface. Proper base preparation and drainage will reduce maintenance needs significantly.
Gravel is usually the most cost-effective and permeable option, easy to install and simple to top up, but it moves and requires more maintenance. Decomposed granite compacts into a firmer, lower-profile surface that is better for walkways and low-traffic driveways but can rut under heavy loads. Pavers are the most durable and low-maintenance long term but come with higher upfront cost and less natural permeability unless you choose permeable pavers; pick based on budget, desired look, and maintenance tolerance.
Measure your area and use a material calculator to convert to tons or cubic yards, and include a 10% buffer for waste and compaction. Choose a delivery date on checkout, note any access limitations or overhead wires in the Order Notes, and request tailgate spreading at checkout if you want the driver to consider it (drivers decide on arrival). If you have questions about material color or sizing, add preferences in the Order Notes and contact Hello Gravel sales for guidance before ordering.
As of today, we require 2 business days for delivery.

The material will be delivered via dump truck. If your order is under 20 tons, then it will likely be just one dump truck load. If your order is more than 20 tons, it will be more than one dump truck load.

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.

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.
