Why Tuolumne Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Tuolumne has a city population of 3,230 and lies within a metro area of 2.3+ million, a region growing at about 1.80% annually. With 228 sunny days per year, 33.00 inches of annual rainfall, and a hardiness zone of 8b, homeowners here balance dry summer conditions with a significant rainy season. That climate mix drives demand for reliable aggregates: durable driveways that resist rutting, well-draining beds for landscaping, and erosion-control materials for sloped properties. Local construction and renovation projects—from setting pavers to rebuilding access roads—require consistent, regionally sourced gravel that stands up to seasonal shifts and local soils. Gravel is a practical choice for Tuolumne yards because it improves drainage after the 33.00 inches of annual rain while standing up to UV exposure during 228 sunny days per year. Crushed and washed gravels help reduce mud on driveways, stabilize pathways, and protect slopes from erosion in a zone 8b climate. Hello Gravel connects homeowners to vetted local suppliers and professional haulers, offering clear pricing, scheduled delivery, and flexible options like next-day delivery when available. We handle coordination so you get the right gravel, delivered by dump truck to your site with regional materials that reflect Tuolumne's geology.Popular Projects in Tuolumne This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Tuolumne gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in Tuolumne.
In Tuolumne, common gravel types like crushed rock, pea gravel, and decomposed granite typically range from about $30 to $70 per ton, or roughly $40 to $95 per cubic yard. Prices vary by material type, seasonal demand, and local quarry distances; request a local quote through Hello Gravel for a precise price.
Hello Gravel requires a 3-ton minimum order and uses local dump-truck delivery (often tri-axle). Standard delivery is 2+ business days, with next-day available for orders placed before noon CST (confirm cutoff relative to Pacific time); delivery fees depend on distance, but many areas have free delivery—your checkout will show exact charges.
For sloped, fire-prone properties in Tuolumne, use angular crushed rock (3/4" to 1") or decomposed granite mixed with polymer stabilizer for good compaction and runoff control. These materials are noncombustible, shed water well when installed with proper slope and edging, and compact to reduce loose-fuel buildup; always maintain defensible-space guidelines from local fire authorities.
Measure the area (length x width) and decide on depth in inches, then convert to cubic yards by multiplying area (ft2) by depth (ft) and dividing by 27. Multiply cubic yards by about 1.3 to 1.5 tons per cubic yard (1.4 t/yd3 is a common rule of thumb). For example, a 10 ft x 50 ft driveway at 4 inches deep is 10x50x(4/12)/27 = 0.62 yd3, or ~0.9 tons; round up and add 5-10% for compaction and waste.
Permitting and HOA rules vary across Tuolumne County and private communities; some rural parcels allow gravel without permits, while others or HOAs may require design review or specific materials. Check Tuolumne County Planning Department and your HOA documents before installation to confirm setbacks, drainage, and material restrictions.
With routine maintenance—occasional grading, adding fresh gravel every 3-7 years, and attention after heavy storms—a well-built gravel driveway in Tuolumne can last 10+ years for light use. Dry summers increase dust and raveling, so expect more frequent top-ups and consider dust suppressants or polymer stabilizers to reduce upkeep.
For heavy-vehicle access, use a 3/4" to 1-1/2" crushed rock wearing surface over a compacted aggregate base of 6 to 10 inches (class II base or similar). Lay geotextile fabric on soft soils, compact each layer, and provide good subgrade drainage to avoid rutting under repeated heavy loads.
Tuolumne and the Sierra foothills have local quarries and pit sources for common materials like crushed rock and decomposed granite, but availability varies by material and season. Wet winter weather can limit quarry operations and increase demand in spring and summer, so order early for large projects to secure locally sourced material and avoid longer-haul deliveries.
Gravel is the least expensive upfront and allows water infiltration, which helps reduce runoff, but it requires more maintenance and periodic resurfacing. Asphalt is cheaper than concrete and more durable than gravel for heavy use, but it reduces infiltration and may need resurfacing every 10-20 years. Concrete is the most durable and lowest maintenance long-term but has higher initial cost and creates the most surface runoff; choose based on budget, desired lifespan, and drainage priorities.
Control dust by compacting the surface, using polymer-stabilized mixes, applying magnesium chloride or approved dust suppressants, and watering during initial settling if needed. Prevent erosion by grading for positive drainage, installing edging or curbing, using geotextile fabric under the base, and adding check dams or swales on slopes to slow runoff.
For small projects, order a bit more than your calculation to allow for compaction and waste—5-10% extra for paths, up to 15% for irregular areas. Choose smaller bags or mixes if you need under 3 tons, or check Hello Gravel for local supplier options and delivery minimums; add delivery notes for tight access or preferred drop location.
As of today, we require 2 business days for delivery.

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.
