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.
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.
3/8″ Crushed Stone
(#89 Stone) A smaller crushed stone perfect for walkways and more decorative applications. Pathways will come to life with garden-like aesthetics and be comfortable under foot. Also suitable for various groundcover applications, as an underlayment for patio paver and turf projects, for playground surfacing and for filling gaps between larger stones.
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.
Compost
Premium compost packed with organic nutrients—perfect for revitalizing tired soil and supporting strong, healthy plant growth. Ideal for mixing into garden beds, raised beds, and landscapes needing a natural boost.
Decomposed Granite
Known for its natural look, this compact, durable material drains well and holds up in high-traffic areas. Made from crushed and weathered granite down to a mix of fine gravel and sand—best for patios, paths, driveways, and landscape projects. Can range in color from light brown and tan to reddish and gray, depending on the natural stone color in the region.

Why Capitol Hill Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Capitol Hill is a neighborhood of 35,000 residents situated inside a larger metro region of 2.4+ million people. Its steady growth rate of 0.69% annually means demand for home improvement and landscaping work is consistent: homeowners and local contractors are more often tackling incremental upgrades, yard renovations, and maintenance projects than one-off building booms. The area's climate (Hardiness Zone 8b, 228/year sunny days, and 33.90 inches of annual rainfall) creates a need for materials that handle both wet winters and sun-exposed summers. That translates into a preference for well-draining base materials, stable subgrades, moisture-retentive planting mixes, and durable surfacing aggregates. Across Capitol Hill, reliable, locally sourced bulk supplies—dirt, sand, mulch, gravel, and stone—matter because they influence drainage, compaction, plant success, and long-term maintenance needs.Popular Projects in Capitol Hill This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Capitol Hill Gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in Capitol Hill.
It depends on how you use the driveway, the look you want, and drainage needs. For load-bearing areas choose a denser, angular aggregate for stability; for permeable surfaces pick materials that allow water to drain through. Consider maintenance, curb appeal, and local climate when comparing gravel, sand, dirt, and stone, and use our material calculator or contact our team for help sizing the right option.
Materials that promote good drainage and resist washout tend to perform best in Capitol Hill's wet climate. Coarser, crushed aggregates provide stability and drainage, while fine materials can compact and rut when saturated. Regional sourcing means texture and color vary, so plan for proper base preparation and drainage regardless of whether you choose gravel, sand, dirt, or stone.
Start with the project's use: foot traffic, vehicles, or just decorative. Match material durability, finish, and drainage needs to that use—choose stable, angular material for driveways, well-graded bedding for pavers, and decorative stone where appearance is the priority. Consider maintenance, local climate, and any neighborhood rules, and use our size guide or consult our team for tailored recommendations.
Bulk materials are usually sold by the ton or cubic yard; common practice is to estimate volume (length x width x depth) and convert to tons using a conversion for the material type. Depth depends on application (for example, 2-4 inches for a walkway surface, 4-8 inches for a driveway base). Use our online calculator for Capitol Hill projects or contact our team with project dimensions for an estimate.
Yes, most local suppliers and contracted haulers deliver to residential addresses in Capitol Hill, but deliveries depend on site access and local rules. Deliveries use dump trucks (typically tri-axle) and require a clear route for safe unloading. Provide accurate delivery notes, check for parking or access restrictions, and contact our team if you have special staging needs.
Capitol Hill's narrow streets, restricted parking, and pedestrian-heavy blocks can create delivery challenges. You may need resident permit parking, temporary parking permits, or coordination for truck access; stair or alley drops can limit where material is dumped. We recommend checking local regulations, noting access details in your order, and contacting our team early so we can coordinate with the hauler.
Delivery cost varies by material type, order size, distance from the supplier, and delivery speed. Hello Gravel shows transparent pricing and a 3-ton minimum; many areas offer free delivery while next-day delivery or special staging can add fees. For an accurate number, enter your zip code on our site or request a quote for your specific Capitol Hill address.
Prices vary by material: finer, locally common materials are often less expensive per ton, while specialty decorative stone or imported materials cost more. Also factor in installation effort—more spreadable materials may increase labor time, and larger stones may need special handling. Compare cost per ton and per cubic yard and include delivery, spreading, and prep work when budgeting.
Gravel-style materials generally provide better drainage and load-bearing capacity, making them good for driveways and drainage trenches. Sand is useful for leveling, bedding pavers, and filling joints but can compact and hold water in some situations. Often projects use both types: a gravel base for drainage and sand or fine bedding for finishing surfaces.
Drier months—late spring through early fall—are usually the easiest time to install and compact materials because conditions are less wet. That said, deliveries and installs can be scheduled year-round; just expect slower ground drying and potentially more staging challenges during the rainy season. Book early to secure preferred dates and to allow time for any required permits or site prep.
Drivers may be able to perform tailgate spreading at their discretion, but this service is not guaranteed and depends on safety and the hauler's equipment. Prepare a clear drop zone, protect nearby surfaces, and have tools (rakes, wheelbarrows) ready if you plan to move material after delivery. Note your spreading request at checkout so the driver and hauler can plan accordingly.
Because materials are regionally sourced, texture and color can vary from photos; expect natural variation in gravel, sand, dirt, and stone. Contact our customer service as soon as possible to request order changes—it's easier to modify before materials are dispatched. If there is an issue on delivery, reach out promptly so we can work to resolve it in line with our policies.
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.
