Materials Available for Delivery
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.
Drain Rock
A larger 1 ½” crushed gravel that allows for water flow and drainage, preventing accumulation and pooling when properly installed. Perfect for french drains and other drainage applications, around utility lines, septic systems, sump pump basins and drainage pits.
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
Crushed Concrete
Recycled concrete aggregate for construction & landscaping. Often used for road base and sub-base applications, as fill material, and for erosion control. Typically 1 ½” down to fines.
1 1/2″ Crushed Gravel
Larger 1 ½” gravel perfect for french drains, drainage ditches, catch basins, and erosion control. Also used in base layers for road projects in areas with poor soil conditions, as backfill material, and for ground cover applications where smaller stones may wash away.

Why Tulare Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Tulare homeowners live in a community with a city population of 69,237 and a steady growth rate of 0.40% annually, a pattern that generally supports consistent demand for residential and light commercial construction rather than sudden booms. That gradual expansion means ongoing needs for repairs, yard upgrades, driveway work, and small additions—projects that all rely on dependable bulk materials. Local climate and geography—204 sunny days per year, annual rainfall of 49.77 inches, and USDA hardiness zone 9a—create a mix of sun exposure and significant wet-season activity. In practice this calls for materials that manage both drainage and durability: well-graded aggregates for runoff control, soils that balance water retention with permeability, and mulches or top layers that tolerate long sun exposure. Across a broader metro area of 7.9+ million, sourcing locally reduces variation in color and texture and helps projects finish on schedule with predictable performance.Popular Projects in Tulare This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Tulare Gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in Tulare.
Pick a material based on the function you need (load-bearing, drainage, or aesthetics), the expected traffic, and your budget. In Tulare, consider materials that handle seasonal wet-dry cycles and local soil types; use our material calculator or contact our sales team for guidance. Order notes can include color or texture preferences, and we can connect you with local suppliers who know regional options.
Tulare has hot, dry summers and wetter winters, plus clay-influenced soils that can hold moisture and shrink-swell. Choose materials that promote drainage for wet months and resist dust and rutting in dry months; compaction and proper base preparation help performance year-round. Regional sourcing means color and texture will reflect local geology, so expect natural variation.
Bulk materials are commonly used for driveways, walkways, patios, grading, drainage improvements, garden beds, erosion control, and site fill for construction. Homeowners and contractors use similar materials for both small landscaping jobs and large site work; size and gradation will differ by application. Describe your project when ordering so suppliers can suggest the right product and quantity.
Measure the area (length x width) and desired depth, then convert to cubic yards (area x depth in feet / 27) to get the volume you need. As a rule of thumb, 1 cubic yard of loose aggregate typically weighs about 1.2 to 1.6 tons depending on material, so check weight conversions for accurate ton-based orders. Use our online calculator or contact our team with your dimensions for a quick estimate.
Deliveries use professional dump trucks (typically tri-axle) with a 3-ton minimum order and standard lead time of 2+ business days. Next-day delivery is available for orders placed before noon CST for an extra fee, and tailgate spreading may be offered at the driver’s discretion but is not guaranteed. Plan for an accessible drop zone and review access constraints when you place the order to avoid delays.
Sometimes. Check with the City of Tulare, your HOA, or local public works for rules on street parking, encroachment permits, dust control, or restrictions on visible surfacing materials. Large deliveries that block streets, require heavy equipment, or alter drainage may need permits, so confirm local requirements before scheduling delivery.
Driveway width, overhead wires, steep grades, narrow lanes, and weight-restricted streets can limit truck access and influence where drivers can dump material. Provide clear photos and notes at checkout, and be prepared to identify an alternative drop location or staging area. If access is tight, consider hiring local labor to move material from the drop point to the final spot.
Plan heavy grading, base work, and compaction for the dry months to avoid working in wet, unstable conditions; late spring through early fall is often best in Tulare. Avoid scheduling major surface work during the rainy season when possible, and account for high summer temperatures when mixing or placing some materials. Book deliveries ahead of peak season to secure preferred dates.
Proper grading, drainage paths, and using permeable materials where appropriate reduce ponding and erosion during winter rains. For slopes or areas prone to runoff, choose materials and installation methods that stabilize the soil and direct water to approved drains. Check local stormwater and erosion-control rules when planning projects near waterways or steep grades.
No exact match should be expected because Hello Gravel sources materials regionally, so color, texture, and size can vary with local geology. Photos are representative; you can note color preferences in your order and contact customer service with questions before ordering. If the material looks substantially different than expected, contact our support team to discuss options.
Pricing depends on the material type, quantity, delivery distance, access difficulty, and whether additional services (like expedited delivery) are requested. Hello Gravel provides upfront quotes during checkout so you can review total costs before confirming. For large or contractor projects, contact our sales team for volume guidance and scheduling help.
Contact our team as soon as possible; changes are easier to accommodate before the order is dispatched and while your supplier is still scheduling. We will do our best to help, but modifications or cancellations may be limited once processing or dispatch begins, and fees could apply. Check your order confirmation for specific instructions and timing.
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.

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.
