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.
Road Base

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 Sutter Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Sutter has a city population of 3,120 and sits within a metro area population of 2.5+ million, with steady growth—its growth rate is 0.40% annually. The local climate includes 228 sunny days per year and an annual rainfall of 35.60 inches, and the region is in hardiness zone 8b. That mix of sun and seasonal rain drives consistent demand for durable outdoor materials: homeowners here tackle driveway repairs, garden paths, French drains, and low-maintenance landscaping that must stand up to sun exposure and occasional heavy showers. As development continues at a measured pace, quality aggregates are sought to prevent erosion, improve drainage, and provide long-lasting surfaces that reduce future maintenance in Sutter's climate.Popular Projects in Sutter This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Sutter gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in Sutter.
Prices vary by material and season, but expect delivered bulk gravel in the Sutter area to typically range from about $35 to $90 per ton depending on type (base gravel on the low end, decorative stone on the high end). Minimum orders are usually 3 tons; delivery fees and availability vary by supplier and load size. For an exact price and any bulk discounts, check your zip code on Hello Gravel or request a quote.
For driveways, crushed rock or crushed stone (3/4" minus or similar) is the most recommended because it compacts well and resists washout. Decomposed granite works well for pedestrian paths and compacted patios but needs good edging and drainage where winter rains occur. Pea gravel and river rock are popular for decorative areas and drainage but are not ideal as a primary driving surface unless stabilized; they can migrate and roll during heavy rain.
Use area x depth to calculate, then convert to cubic yards and tons (1 cubic yard ~1.3 tons). Example estimates: a typical 2-car driveway (20' x 40' = 800 sq ft) needs about 6.4 tons at 2", 9.6 tons at 3", and 12.8 tons at 4". A larger 3-car drive (30' x 50' = 1,500 sq ft) needs about 12.0 tons at 2", 18.1 tons at 3", and 24.1 tons at 4". Always round up and add 5-10% for compaction and slope.
Labor and preparation costs vary with site conditions. For basic spreading and light grading expect roughly $2 to $6 per sq ft installed (surface material only); for full prep including excavation, geotextile, base rock, and compaction expect $6 to $12 per sq ft. Contractors sometimes charge $10 to $25 per ton for delivery plus spreading when billed per ton. Get local estimates because hillside, drainage work, or heavy grading raise costs.
Gravel can perform well on clay or loam if the subgrade is prepared properly. Best practice is to remove organic material, install geotextile fabric to limit mixing, grade and crown the surface for runoff, and lay a compacted 3-6" base of crushed rock or class II base before the surface layer. Add edge restraints, install swales or French drains where water concentrates, and avoid laying thin gravel directly on weak, wet clay to reduce rutting and washout.
In Sutter's climate expect light-traffic driveways to need regrading or a light top-up every 1-3 years, with higher-traffic or poorly drained areas needing attention more often after winter rains. Typical top-ups are 1-2 inches of new gravel; material cost locally often runs in the $35 to $90 per ton range, and DIY spreading is the cheapest option. Professional regrading/spreading jobs commonly cost a few hundred dollars for small driveways and more for larger areas depending on access and equipment.
Gravel has the lowest upfront cost and is permeable and easy to repair, while asphalt and concrete have higher initial costs but require less frequent surface-level maintenance. Ballpark installed costs: gravel $1 to $5 per sq ft, asphalt $3 to $7 per sq ft, and concrete $4 to $10 per sq ft depending on prep and thickness. With regular maintenance gravel driveways can last 10-20 years, asphalt 15-25 years with sealcoating, and concrete 25-40 years; choose based on budget, maintenance willingness, and desired look.

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.
