Why Walnut Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Walnut is a suburban community of 39,918 residents experiencing steady, modest expansion at about 0.40% annually. That measured growth translates into consistent demand for home renovations, yard upgrades, and targeted infill projects rather than a sudden building boom; homeowners often prioritize durable landscaping and incremental construction to maintain and enhance property value. Walnut's climate—about 204 sunny days per year with annual rainfall of 49.77 inches and a USDA hardiness zone of 9a—creates mixed material needs: products that manage seasonal wetness, support drainage, and withstand prolonged sun exposure. The surrounding West California metro serves a market of 7.9+ million people, so local suppliers typically offer regionally appropriate aggregates and soils. Choosing quality, locally sourced bulk materials helps ensure better performance and fewer surprises for Walnut projects.Popular Projects in Walnut This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Walnut Gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in Walnut.
Standard delivery typically takes 2+ business days, with next-day options available for orders placed early (additional fee may apply). Hello Gravel and local suppliers commonly require a minimum order (our platform minimum is 3 tons), and delivery fees vary by distance, access, and truck size. Always check delivery details at checkout and provide clear access notes to avoid extra charges.
Choose a material based on intended use, drainage needs, and desired look rather than on brand. For load-bearing surfaces pick a denser, more angular aggregate; for planting beds or play areas choose softer, finer materials. Consider Walnut's Mediterranean climate: prioritize materials that drain well and resist washout during winter storms.
Local soils in Walnut can range from clay to loam; clay holds water and can cause settling, so materials that improve drainage and provide a stable base are recommended. For sloped areas use coarser materials and install proper grading or subdrains. If you suspect poor drainage, consult a contractor or soil test before ordering large quantities.
Prices vary by material type, quality, and current local supply, but a common range is about $20 to $80 per cubic yard before delivery. Heavier, processed, or decorative materials trend toward the higher end, while bulk screened dirt or basic gravels are toward the lower end. Expect delivery and handling fees on top of material cost.
Late spring through early fall is generally the easiest time for scheduling deliveries and installations in Walnut because of drier weather and fewer storm-related delays. Winter months can bring more rain and temporary access issues, so allow extra lead time then. Book early for weekend or peak-season dates to secure your preferred delivery window.
Permits and HOA approvals can be required depending on the scope of work and whether impervious surface area is changing. Replacing materials on the same footprint often needs less permitting than changing layout or drainage, but you should check Walnut city regulations and your HOA guidelines before starting. When in doubt, contact city planning or your HOA for confirmation.
Typical estimates: a standard single-car driveway (about 12 ft by 40 ft) at 4 inches depth needs roughly 5 to 6 cubic yards; a two-car driveway will need more. Small patios (10 ft by 10 ft) at 2 inches depth need about 0.6 cubic yards, while larger backyard grading or raised beds can range from a few cubic yards to 20+ cubic yards. Use a material calculator or provide dimensions to our team for a tailored estimate.
Suppliers consider street width, overhead wires, driveway slope, gates, and nearby parking or school zones when planning deliveries. Narrow or steep streets, locked gates, and low-hanging branches can prevent a dump truck from reaching the drop location and may trigger additional handling fees. Add clear access notes at checkout and share photos if possible to help avoid surprises.
Drivers may be able to perform tailgate spreading at their discretion, but this service is not guaranteed and depends on safety and truck capabilities. Request spreading at checkout and the driver will assess on arrival whether it can be done safely. Plan for the possibility that you may need to finish spreading or hire local labor.
Start by identifying the project's primary need: drainage, load-bearing, or aesthetics. Materials that favor drainage are typically coarser and may cost less, while engineered or decorative materials can be pricier but offer better longevity or appearance. Compare lifecycle costs—initial material cost plus maintenance—rather than price alone to choose the best option for your budget.
Maintenance varies: loose aggregates may need periodic raking, topping up, and weed control; finer materials can compact and require occasional aeration or replenishment. All installations perform better with good edging and proper base preparation to limit migration and maintenance. Consider your willingness to maintain a surface when choosing materials.
Contractors evaluate materials based on site conditions, required lifespan, ease of installation, and cost. They often recommend durable base layers for driveways, coarser materials for drainage, and finer or decorative materials for visible landscapes. Ask contractors to explain trade-offs in plain terms and to provide material options with estimated quantities and costs.

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.
