Why Shingle Springs Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Shingle Springs has a city population of 27,960 and sits inside a fast-growing region with a metro area population of 2.7+ million and a steady 3.02% annual growth rate. In hardiness zone 8b with 228 sunny days a year and 34.25 inches of annual rainfall, local homeowners are upgrading yards, driveways, and drainage as new construction and renovations respond to demand. That combination of sun, seasonal rain, and expanding development drives a need for dependable aggregates: materials that control erosion, improve drainage, and create low-maintenance surfaces. Homeowners choose quality gravel to protect slopes, stabilize paths and driveways, and complement drought-tolerant landscaping while keeping projects affordable and long-lasting.Popular Projects in Shingle Springs This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Shingle Springs gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in Shingle Springs.
The Sierra Nevada foothills around Shingle Springs, including tributaries of the American River and nearby streams in El Dorado County, were historic placer-gold areas. That history means some river cobble and gravel in the region can contain trace gold, but most material sold for landscaping has been processed and sorted by suppliers and is not sold as active gold-bearing dirt.
Gold in this area is most often found in quartz veins and in rounded river cobbles that concentrated in old stream beds. Those same quartz-rich cobbles and cobble mixes are frequently sold as decorative river rock or gravel, but suppliers usually market them for appearance and drainage rather than for gold content.
Yes. Removing rocks, gravel, or gold from public lands can require permits and may be prohibited in state parks, national forest areas, and some county lands, and selling material as 'gold-bearing' can trigger additional regulatory concerns. When buying or selling gravel, ask suppliers for the material origin and any permitting documentation; Hello Gravel sources from permitted, local suppliers and can help confirm legality.
For driveways in Shingle Springs' foothill climate, a compactable crushed rock base (3/4" minus or 3/4"-1" crushed stone) gives the best load-bearing and drainage performance, topped with 1-2" of decorative gravel if desired. Pea gravel and river rock drain well and look good, but they do not compact well for heavy-traffic driveways; decomposed granite is a good option for pathways and low-traffic drives with proper base preparation.
Hello Gravel has a minimum order of 3 tons and standard delivery is generally 2+ business days, with next-day delivery available for orders placed before noon CST for an extra fee. Delivery fees vary by supplier and distance; many areas offer free delivery but confirm pricing in checkout or get a quote for exact fees.
Many local suppliers serving the West California area do offer screened and washed gravel products, and some partner contractors provide installation, grading, and compaction. Service offerings vary by supplier, so request screened/washed material and installation options at checkout or ask our team to include local installers in your quote.
Prices vary by material and sourcing, but a typical range for bulk landscape gravel in this region is roughly $20 to $60 per ton, or about $30 to $80 per cubic yard delivered depending on type, screening, and washing. For exact pricing for your project, use Hello Gravel's checkout or request a quote since local geology, supplier inventory, and truck access affect cost.
Measure the area in feet, multiply length x width x desired depth (in feet) to get cubic feet, then divide by 27 to get cubic yards; most crushed rock in our region weighs about 1.3 to 1.5 tons per cubic yard. As a rule of thumb, order a little extra (5-10%) to allow for compaction and grading, and remember Hello Gravel minimums apply (3 tons).
Drivers may be able to perform tailgate spreading at their discretion, but this is not guaranteed and depends on site access and safety. Request spreading at checkout, keep the drop zone clear and accessible for a tri-axle dump truck, and be prepared to do or hire finishing work if the driver cannot spread.
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.

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!
