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.
3/8″ Natural Pea Gravel
Decorative and functional landscaping gravel. Small, naturally rounded stones create an aesthetic appeal when used for pathways, plant beds and garden borders. Also great for water features, rock gardens, dog runs and playground surfacing.
Mason Sand
A fine, clean sand for construction and masonry. Use it under pavers or turf, mix it into mortar or soil, or spread it across your lawn to smooth out bumps and low spots in your lawn.
#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.
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.

Why Vidal Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Vidal has a city population of 12,790 and sits within a larger metro region of 7.9+ million people. That steady growth—about 0.40% annually—means demand for home improvement and small-scale construction projects is gradual and sustained rather than explosive. In a place with 204 sunny days per year and 49.77 inches of annual rainfall, homeowners need a range of reliable bulk materials: everything from drainage-ready base soils and well-graded aggregates to moisture-retaining topsoils and UV-resistant mulches. These conditions favor projects that balance water management with durability, so choosing quality sand, gravel, dirt, and stone affects longevity, erosion control, and plant health in equal measure. Vidal’s combination of frequent sun, substantial rainfall, and hardiness zone 9a creates specific performance needs for materials: good drainage to handle heavy rains, stable bases to resist washout, and products that hold up under strong sunlight without breaking down quickly. That means homeowners should consider material gradation, compaction properties, and regional coloration and texture when planning work. Hello Gravel helps by matching buyers with local suppliers and haulers who understand these local conditions, offering calculators and expert guidance so homeowners can pick the right quantities and types for long-lasting results.Popular Projects in Vidal This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Vidal Gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in Vidal.
Start with the project's purpose: load-bearing areas need more compactable material, while decorative areas can prioritize color and texture. Consider drainage, maintenance, and appearance, then pick from gravel, sand, dirt, stone as a group rather than a single product. Use sample swatches or our online aggregate quiz and contact our team if you need help matching a material to your site and budget.
Minimum orders are 3 tons. Standard delivery is 2+ business days, and next-day delivery is available for orders placed before noon CST for an additional fee. Availability can vary by zip code, so check your area or contact our team to confirm scheduling.
Calculate cubic yards first: multiply area (square feet) by depth (in inches) and divide by 324. Then convert cubic yards to tons using a material-specific multiplier (typical range is about 1.2 to 1.6 tons per cubic yard depending on the material and moisture). Use our online material calculator or call us for a precise conversion and a safety margin.
Order only the depth you need, choose locally sourced materials, consolidate deliveries with neighbors or other projects, and shop off-peak when possible. Reusing onsite soil or existing rock and using smaller accent quantities of premium stone can also stretch your budget. We offer clear pricing and may have free delivery in many areas, which helps reduce total cost.
Clear a path for the dump truck and mark the preferred drop zone with flagging or stakes so the driver can see it from the street. Move vehicles and fragile items, secure pets, and mark underground utilities or sprinkler heads. If you want tailgate spreading, request it at checkout so the driver can plan, but they will assess safety on arrival.
Drivers may be able to perform tailgate spreading at their discretion, and you should request this service at checkout. Spreading depends on site conditions, truck access, and safety, so it is not guaranteed. Plan to have tools or a contractor available if you need precise grading or finished work.
The 'rule of three' is a design guideline that suggests grouping elements in threes for visual balance; for materials that means using a primary material with one or two complementary textures or colors. For example, pick a main aggregate for large areas and add two accent materials for borders or focal spots. This approach helps you choose quantities and plan where different materials will be most effective.
Materials vary regionally, so products in Vidal reflect local geology and the desert climate. Choose materials that handle heat, resist fading, and provide the drainage or compaction you need—dry climates often require attention to dust control and stabilization. Ask our team about local performance and we can suggest materials commonly used in West California projects.
Natural materials can vary in color, texture, and size because of regional sourcing and seasonal differences. We recommend ordering a small sample or a smaller initial quantity if color and texture are critical, and note color preferences in your order notes. If the material isn't what you expected, contact customer service promptly so we can help resolve the issue.
Contact our team as soon as possible; changes are easiest to accommodate before an order is dispatched or processed by the supplier. We will do our best to help, but modifications depend on supplier and trucking schedules and cannot be guaranteed. For fastest service, call or text the numbers provided at checkout.
Yes. In hot, dry months schedule deliveries for early morning to avoid extreme heat and dust, and expect different compaction behavior than in cooler months. Planting and projects that rely on moisture may need timing adjustments, and some materials compact differently when wet or dry. We can advise on timing based on the local climate and your project goals.
Contractors typically order larger, consistent-spec loads and may coordinate regular deliveries and specific product specs, while homeowners often order smaller loads and value guidance on quantities and material choice. Both should confirm access for dump trucks and communicate any special delivery instructions at checkout. Our platform supports both needs with tools, calculators, and salesperson guidance.
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.
