Garden Soil
Premium garden soil enriched with organic matter—essential for vigorous, healthy plant growth. Ideal for filling gardens, building raised beds, and enhancing tired or compacted soil. Fulfillment 20-40% organic is ideal
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.
Decomposed Granite
Known for its natural look, this compact, durable material drains well and holds up in high-traffic areas. Made from crushed and weathered granite down to a mix of fine gravel and sand—best for patios, paths, driveways, and landscape projects. Can range in color from light brown and tan to reddish and gray, depending on the natural stone color in the region.
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.
River Rock
Naturally rounded, decorative stone for landscaping, garden beds, and water features. Typically 1-2” in size, with options for larger sizes upon request. Comes in a variety of colors that vary based on location and natural stone availability, so please be sure to specify if you have color preferences.

Why Shasta Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Shasta (city population 1,044) is a small but steadily growing community—expanding at about 0.40% annually—so construction and landscaping demand tends to be measured and practical rather than boom-driven. The local climate averages 204 sunny days per year with annual rainfall of 49.77 inches and falls in USDA hardiness zone 9a, a combination that creates the need for materials that handle both sun exposure and substantial seasonal moisture. Homeowners in Shasta are increasingly focused on water-wise planting, durable hardscapes, and erosion-resistant yards, which drives demand for a range of bulk materials: topsoil and mulch for planting, well-graded aggregates and sand for drainage and base layers, and engineered fills for grading and erosion control. In this environment, sourcing quality, regionally matched materials and reliable delivery helps ensure projects last through both wet and dry seasons.Popular Projects in Shasta This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Shasta Gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in Shasta.
Homeowners and contractors in Shasta typically use bulk materials like gravel, sand, dirt, and stone for projects such as driveways, pathways, drainage, and garden beds. Each material group serves different roles—some provide drainage, others form a stable base or top layer—so choose based on the function you need rather than appearance alone.
Shasta's seasonal rains, temperature swings, and local geology influence how materials perform: wetter seasons increase erosion and compaction needs, while dry summers and wildfire risk affect surface choices. Because Hello Gravel sources regionally, expect natural variation in texture and color and select materials and installation techniques that suit local drainage and slope conditions.
Start by defining function: load-bearing areas need a stable, compactable base while decorative surfaces prioritize appearance and weed control. Consider drainage, expected traffic, and maintenance—use coarser, well-draining mixes for runoff and finer material for smooth walking surfaces—and use our material calculator or contact our team for guidance.
We deliver materials for a wide range of residential and contractor projects including driveways, pathways, patios, drainage improvements, landscape beds, erosion control, and site grading. Orders start at a minimum quantity, and our network connects you with local suppliers and professional dump truck fleets to handle most standard jobs.
Hello Gravel requires a minimum order of 3 tons and offers standard delivery in 2+ business days, with a next-day option for orders placed before noon CST for an extra fee. Deliveries use contracted dump trucks (typically tri-axle), so check access, overhead clearances, and load zones before ordering; tailgate spreading may be available at the driver's discretion but is not guaranteed.
Permits, HOA rules, and municipal restrictions vary by neighborhood and project size—small deliveries and typical landscaping rarely require permits, but larger driveways, curb cuts, or blocking public right-of-way may. Check with the City of Shasta, your county, and your HOA before ordering, and contact our team if you need help understanding what to expect.
For wildfire-prone areas, favor non-combustible surfacing and buffer zones using materials such as gravel, sand, dirt, and stone around structures, and keep combustible mulches and vegetation at safe distances. Combine material selection with defensible-space practices (pruning, spacing, and maintenance) and consult your local fire marshal for code-specific guidance.
Use Hello Gravel's material calculator or the aggregate quiz to estimate tons based on area and depth; as a rule of thumb, ordering a little extra accounts for compaction and settling. If you need to modify an order, contact our team as soon as possible—changes are easier before the supplier or truck is dispatched, and we'll do our best to accommodate requests.
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. 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!
