Why Pico Rivera Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Pico Rivera is a community of 53,524 residents located inside a larger metro of 2.5+ million, and it is growing at 0.70% annually. The local climate sits in hardiness zone 8b, with about 225/year sunny days and 34.70 inches of annual rainfall—conditions that keep landscaping projects active year-round. That steady growth and reliable weather mean homeowners often need quality aggregates for driveways, pathways, drainage, and erosion control as properties are updated or expanded. Gravel is a go-to material because it balances durability, permeability, and low maintenance, making it a practical choice for homeowners managing runoff, stabilizing slopes, or creating waterwise yards in Pico Rivera's urban landscape. Gravel performs well in Pico Rivera’s mix of sun and seasonal rain: it sheds surface water, reduces erosion, and helps ground-level plantings drain quickly after storms. For patios, driveways, and French drains, properly sized gravel reduces puddling and stays stable under repeated use. Hello Gravel connects homeowners to locally sourced gravel and scheduled dump-truck delivery, with clear pricing and a minimum order of 3 tons. Choose a delivery window at checkout, request tailgate spreading if needed (driver discretion), and contact our team for help calculating quantities and selecting the right gravel for your site.Popular Projects in Pico Rivera This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Pico Rivera gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in Pico Rivera.
Avoid pea gravel for driveways, steep slopes, or anywhere you need a firm, stable surface because the stones are loose and roll under weight. It is also a poor choice where lawn chairs or wheeled carts will be used frequently, since small stones shift and can be uncomfortable to walk on. For those uses, choose crushed stone or compactable base material instead.
For a 10x10 area at 2 inches deep you need about 0.6 cubic yards of material, which is roughly 0.8 to 1 ton depending on the gravel density. If you want 3 inches deep, plan for about 1 cubic yard (roughly 1.3 tons). Use our online calculator or round up to the next whole ton to account for settling and uneven ground.
No, 2 inches is not enough for a driveway in Pico Rivera. A gravel driveway typically needs 4 to 6 inches of compactable base (crushed rock) topped with 2 to 3 inches of wearing gravel, depending on traffic and soil conditions. For reliable performance, prepare a stable base and consider heavier crushed stone rather than loose pea gravel.
Costs vary by width, depth, and material, but for a 100 ft long by 12 ft wide driveway with a 4 inch base you might need about 15 cubic yards (roughly 20 tons) of material. At local Pico Rivera prices (which typically range widely), that could run from about $600 to $2,000 for materials alone; add hauling, delivery, and any spreading or compaction fees. Get a zip-code quote on Hello Gravel for an accurate, site-specific price.
Price depends on size, finish, and local availability, but pea gravel in Southern California commonly ranges from about $40 to $100 per ton delivered, with variation based on supplier and demand. Remember Hello Gravel has a 3-ton minimum order and delivery fees vary by zip code; check the checkout for exact pricing and any free-delivery offers in your area.
Install a compacted crushed-rock base (3 to 4 inches for patios, 4+ inches for driveways) and a layer of landscape fabric to reduce weed growth and migration into the subbase. Pico Rivera has clay-rich pockets and compactable soils, so proper compaction of the base is important to prevent settling and rutting. Edge restraints help keep the gravel contained and make maintenance easier.
Generally pea gravel is less expensive than decorative river rock because it is smaller, easier to source, and cheaper to ship per ton. Local availability and supplier stock can flip that in some cases, so compare unit prices in the Hello Gravel checkout for Pico Rivera zip codes to see up-to-date regional pricing. Also factor in installation needs—river rock may require more edging or base work.
Pea gravel can migrate, track into the house, and be awkward for walking or placing furniture on. It can allow weeds to grow through if not installed over proper fabric and base, and loose stone is harder to plow or shovel after heavy rain if low spots form. For sloped areas, small gravel can shift more than crushed angular stone, so consider slope and access when choosing materials.
Rats and other burrowing animals can tunnel beneath a loose layer of pea gravel if the underlying soil is soft or has food sources. A compacted base, tight edging, and professional rodent control reduce the risk of burrowing. If rodent prevention is a priority, use a compactable crushed base and consider a metal barrier or deep edging at vulnerable locations.
Pea gravel alone is not a reliable pest barrier. Properly installed gravel over a compacted, dry base can reduce moisture pockets that attract some insects, but it will not keep out all bugs or termites. For pest control, combine correct installation practices with good drainage, regular maintenance, and consultation with a pest professional if you have concerns.
Yes, some Pico Rivera neighborhoods and HOAs have rules about front-yard appearance, permeable surfaces, and allowed materials. Because Pico Rivera is in Los Angeles County, city codes and HOA guidelines can affect allowed materials, setbacks, and drainage requirements. Check local city regulations and your HOA documents before placing large gravel areas and include any notes on color or placement in your Hello Gravel order.
Pico Rivera's warm, dry summers and occasional heavy rains mean good drainage and erosion control are important for gravel installations. Drier weather helps keep gravel dry and low in compaction, but seasonal storms can cause washouts and track material into gutters; proper grading and edge restraints reduce that risk. Regular raking and topping up every few years keeps gravel looking good and maintains depth.
Hello Gravel requires a 3-ton minimum order and typically schedules standard deliveries 2 or more business days out, with a next-day option if ordered before noon CST for an extra fee. Deliveries are made by local contracted haulers; drivers may offer tailgate spreading at their discretion but it is not guaranteed. For exact timing, delivery availability, and special requests in Pico Rivera, check your zip code at checkout or contact our team.

The minimum order size is 3 tons.
