Why Sultana Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Sultana is a small, growing community with a city population of 1,062, located inside a larger metro area of 2.7+ million. The region is expanding at a growth rate of 0.70% annually and enjoys a sunny, temperate climate—about 228 sunny days per year and annual rainfall of 34.25 inches, placing it in USDA hardiness zone 8b. Those conditions drive steady demand for home landscaping, drainage upgrades, and low‑maintenance driveway materials. Homeowners here favor durable, well‑draining aggregates that hold up under intense sun and manage seasonal rains; gravel is often chosen for its affordability, permeability, and ease of installation. Because local geology varies across West California, selecting the right size and grade of gravel matters for long‑term performance and curb appeal.Popular Projects in Sultana This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Sultana gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in Sultana.
Expect material costs to vary by type: common crushed base often runs about $30-$80 per ton, while specialty decorative gravels can be $60-$120 per ton. A cubic yard is roughly 1.4 tons, so multiply by 1.4 for yd3 pricing. Hello Gravel often includes free delivery in many areas, but where delivery is charged expect a local flat fee (commonly $10-$50) or per-ton delivery for long hauls; tailgate spreading is optional and typically ranges from about $5-$20 per ton or a small flat fee depending on job size. Prices are estimates—get a site-specific quote to lock in numbers.
For driveways in Sultana's hot, dry conditions, crushed rock (3/4" to 1" crushed stone or Class II road base) is a top choice because it compacts well and resists rutting. Stabilized decomposed granite (DG) can give a natural look and bind fairly well if properly installed, but it needs edging and occasional maintenance. Pea gravel looks nice but shifts easily and is not recommended for main drive lanes or high-traffic areas.
Use this method: cubic yards = (square feet x depth in inches) / 324. Then convert to tons by multiplying cubic yards by about 1.4 (1 cu yd of typical gravels ≈ 1.4 tons). Example: a 500 sq ft patio at 3" depth = (500 x 3)/324 ≈ 4.6 cu yd, which is about 6.4 tons. Remember Hello Gravel's minimum order is 3 tons, so small jobs may hit that minimum.
Sultana is small and many residential gravel driveways do not require a city permit, but local rules can vary. Check Tulare County planning and public works for any driveway, grading, or stormwater requirements and confirm with your HOA if you have one for restrictions on color, material type, or drainage. When in doubt, request guidance from your HOA or the county before ordering materials.
Sultana sits on Central Valley terrain where soils are often finer-textured (clay or clay-loam) and relatively flat, which can hold water and lead to poor surface drainage. That makes subgrade preparation important: remove soft organic material, install geotextile where needed, add a compacted crushed-rock base, and create a slight crown for runoff. Proper base layers and compaction reduce settling and improve long-term drainage performance.
Crushed rock: durable, compacts well, great for driveways and high-traffic areas but looks more industrial. Decomposed granite (DG): offers a natural, warm look and can bind when compacted; good for paths and patios but may need occasional topping and edging in Sultana's climate. Pea gravel: attractive and comfortable underfoot, but it shifts and compacts poorly, so it is best for low-traffic decorative areas rather than driveways.
For a high-traffic driveway plan on about 6" to 9" total depth: 4" to 6" of compacted crushed rock base (Class II or 3/4" minus) topped by 2" to 3" of wearing gravel. Install geotextile fabric over poorly draining subgrades, compact each lift, and add edging to hold material in place. Proper compaction and drainage slope are more important in Sultana than extra depth alone because of local soil conditions.
Expect light maintenance like raking and spot regrading every 6-12 months and a more thorough regrade or top-up every 1-3 years depending on traffic. Topping up commonly uses 0.5 to 1.5 tons per 1,000 sq ft per year; material-plus-delivery for topping is often in the roughly $30-$80 per ton range depending on type. Weed control (pre-emergent and spot removal) and occasional compaction can add small annual costs; get a local quote for labor and spreading if you want professionals to handle maintenance.

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.
