Materials Available for Delivery
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.
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″ 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.
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.
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.

Why San Gabriel Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
San Gabriel is a community of 54,133 residents experiencing steady, measured expansion at a growth rate of 0.40% annually. That modest growth tends to create consistent demand for home improvement and smaller-scale construction projects—yard remodels, driveway repairs, patio updates, and accessory buildings—rather than a sudden construction boom. The local climate combines about 204 sunny days per year with substantial precipitation (49.77 inches annually) and sits in USDA hardiness zone 9a; that combination means materials need to perform under both prolonged sun exposure and significant wet-season runoff. For homeowners, this drives interest in durable, low-maintenance solutions that balance drainage, erosion control, and plant health. Reliable bulk supplies—well-graded aggregates, blended soils, mulch, and drainage mixes—matter here because they form the foundation for stable pathways, resilient planting beds, and long-lasting hardscape elements suited to San Gabriel’s conditions.Popular Projects in San Gabriel This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - San Gabriel Gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in San Gabriel.
Costs vary by material, volume, and distance, but bulk materials often run in the broad range of about $30 to $120 per cubic yard in the San Gabriel area. Delivery fees, minimum order requirements (typically 3 tons), and road access can add to the final price, so get a quote for your zip code and project size.
Choose materials based on use and drainage needs: for heavy-traffic driveways pick well-draining, compactable mixes; for patios and walkways choose a stable base material and a comfortable surface finish. Consider local-sourced options like gravel, sand, dirt, stone together with edging and proper base preparation to suit San Gabriel's warm, dry summers.
Hot, dry weather can increase dust, cause settling, and speed color fading in natural materials, and can reduce vegetation that helps hold material in place. Expect more frequent top-ups, occasional regrading, and consider stabilizers or better drainage to reduce maintenance needs.
Measure your area in square feet and decide on the depth in inches, then use a conversion: (area in sq ft x depth in inches) / 324 = cubic yards. Because densities vary by type, use a material calculator or ask our team for a tons estimate and round up slightly for compaction and waste.
Peak season runs from spring through early fall when landscaping and construction activity is highest, so lead times can stretch during these months. To avoid delays and higher costs, schedule deliveries and installations early and book larger orders at least a few weeks in advance.
Permit and HOA requirements vary by property and project type; some front-yard or driveway changes may be subject to city codes or HOA covenants. Check San Gabriel city planning or your HOA before ordering materials to confirm setback, curb, drainage, and appearance rules.
Standard delivery is typically 2+ business days, with next-day options available for orders placed before noon CST for an extra fee. Deliveries are made by contracted dump trucks (usually tri-axle), and drivers may offer tailgate spreading at their discretion; confirm access, drop zone, and any special instructions at checkout.
Many contractors offer combined services such as grading, compaction, edging, and cleanup along with material installation, but delivery and installation are often quoted separately. Ask for itemized quotes so you can compare material-only delivery versus full site-prep and installation packages.
Homeowners often weigh cost, maintenance, drainage, and look: lower-cost options generally require more upkeep and topping up, while higher-upfront choices offer a cleaner, longer-lasting surface. Consider functional trade-offs—drainage needs, vehicle traffic, and appearance—when choosing between aggregate-based surfaces and hardscaping options.
Clear the access path, mark the preferred drop zone, remove vehicles or obstacles, and protect nearby landscaping, sprinklers, and structures with covers or boards. Communicate any access limitations to the delivery team in advance and request tailgate spreading on the order if you want the driver to consider it, keeping in mind it is not guaranteed.
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.
