Materials Available for Delivery
Red Shredded Mulch
Red shredded bark and wood from hardwoods like oak, hickory, and maple. Good for gardening and landscaping. Helps hold moisture, block weeds, and adds a bold, red pop to your outdoors.
Walkway Gravel
A smaller ⅜” crushed stone that is great for paths, patios, and garden walkways. Comfortable under foot thanks to its smaller size, and creates a beautiful garden-like atmosphere.
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.
#57 Crushed Stone
Multi-use crushed stone for home & landscape projects. Ranging from ¾” to 1” in size, #57 stone is a versatile product used for concrete production, drainage applications, driveways, parking lots, and as base material under slabs and footings. Large enough to provide drainage but small enough to lock together when applied and create a stable base and a relatively smooth surface.
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.

Why Solvang Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Solvang is a community of 7,602 residents where modest, steady growth (0.40% annually) translates into incremental demand for home improvements, property maintenance, and small-scale construction. That steady expansion means homeowners are more likely to invest in durable outdoor projects over time rather than sudden booms. The local climate — 204 sunny days per year and 49.77 inches of annual rainfall, within USDA hardiness zone 9a — creates a dual need: materials that handle both extended sun exposure and significant wet-season runoff. That combination influences choices across base layers, top dressing, and erosion control; residents need bulk supplies that balance drainage, moisture retention, and UV resistance. For projects from grading and pathways to planting beds and slope stabilization, high-quality, locally sourced aggregates and soils reduce repeat work and extend the life of finished surfaces. Solvang's mix of long sunny stretches and substantial rainfall produces practical challenges: materials must compact predictably, drain appropriately, and resist weathering during wet winters and hot, sunny summers. Local soil types and modest slopes can accelerate settling or washout if particle size and permeability are mismatched to the site. For homeowners, the takeaway is to prioritize performance characteristics—drainage, stability, compaction, and durability—over appearance alone. Hello Gravel helps by connecting you with local suppliers who understand these conditions, offering tools to estimate quantities and delivery windows so you can choose the right blends and timing for lasting results.Popular Projects in Solvang This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Solvang Gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in Solvang.
Choose materials based on use, drainage, and look. For vehicle areas pick harder, compactable materials; for walking paths choose smoother, small-sized aggregates. Consider local climate and slope—materials that drain well and resist washout are better in Solvang's coastal Mediterranean conditions. If you need help, use our material quiz or contact the team for recommendations.
Prioritize materials that handle seasonal rain and local soil types, with good drainage and resistance to erosion. Consider longevity and maintenance for exposed areas, and choose colors and textures that match local architecture and landscapes. Remember regional sourcing means appearance and gradation may vary by supplier.
Late spring through early fall is typically easiest because conditions are drier, which helps compaction and installation. Solvang has wet winters, so avoid major installation during or immediately after heavy rain when possible. You can order year-round, but plan the delivery date around forecast and site access.
Yes—most local suppliers and haulers deliver to residential addresses and small sites, provided there is safe truck access and space to offload. Narrow roads, low-hanging wires, steep driveways, or tight turns can affect whether a truck can complete the delivery and may change pricing or require a different drop location. Provide clear site notes at checkout and our team will coordinate with the hauler.
Costs vary by material type, quantity, distance from the supplier, and site access, so we can’t give a single price. Expect freight and hauling to be meaningful parts of the total cost for small orders, while larger orders reduce per-ton delivery cost. Use our online quote tool or request a custom estimate to see current pricing for your zip code.
Typical options include standard drop-off from a dump truck, optional tailgate spreading at the driver’s discretion, and next-day delivery when available. Our standard lead time is 2+ business days, with a next-day option for orders placed before noon CST for an extra fee. Always note any requested spreading or special instructions at checkout; drivers will assess safety and feasibility on arrival.
Measure the length, width, and desired depth of the area to calculate cubic yards, then convert to tons using the material-specific conversion in our calculator. Hello Gravel’s material calculator and team can help with conversions and recommend a small overage (usually 5-10%) to account for compaction and grading. Contact us with measurements or photos for a more precise quote.
Consider intended use (walking, driving, drainage), expected foot or vehicle traffic, slope and erosion risk, maintenance needs, and aesthetic preferences. Think about how the material compacts, its drainage characteristics, and how it will interact with existing irrigation or plantings. Budget and local availability also influence the best choice for your project.
Yes, some projects require permits or HOA approval depending on scope, visibility, and site changes. Check Solvang city regulations and your HOA rules before starting work—permitting can affect material choices and installation methods. When in doubt, contact local building authorities or your HOA and let our team know if permits are required so we can help schedule accordingly.
Prices are influenced by local geology and supplier availability, so Solvang prices may be similar to nearby coastal and central California areas but can differ from inland or northern parts of West California. Transport distance, local demand, and material rarity are common price drivers. The best way to compare is to request a quote for your zip code and specific material needs.
Provide clear site access instructions, ideal drop location, any obstacles (gates, low branches, narrow roads), and whether you need tailgate spreading requested at checkout. Confirm the delivery date and keep a phone number for the driver or dispatch. If access is limited, consider an alternate nearby drop point and mention it in order notes to avoid delays or failed deliveries.
As of today, we require 2 business days for delivery.

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.
