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.
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.
Fill Dirt
Versatile, lower-grade soil commonly used for volume and elevation changes in various construction and landscaping projects. Great for leveling or grading ground, backfilling pools and filling ditches, and evening out low points or depressions on your property.
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 Covina Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Covina's city population is 168,133, and its steady growth rate of 0.40% annually points to continued but measured demand for home improvement, infill, and small-scale construction projects rather than a rapid building boom. Being part of a larger metro region of 7.9+ million adds scale to local material supply chains and means homeowners often compete with multiple project types for aggregate deliveries. With 204/year sunny days paired with 49.77 inches of annual rainfall and placement in hardiness zone 9a, local projects must balance sun exposure with significant seasonal moisture. That combination influences how homeowners use gravel, sand, dirt, mulch, stone, and other aggregates for patios, pathways, planting beds, drainage systems, and erosion control. Quality bulk materials matter here because they determine long-term performance under alternating dry and wet conditions, reduce maintenance, and help manage water on sloped lots and around foundations.Popular Projects in Covina This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Covina Gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in Covina.
Homeowners and contractors in Covina commonly use a range of bulk materials—gravel, sand, dirt, stone—for driveways, patios, drainage, backfill, erosion control, and xeriscaping. These materials are chosen for durability, drainage performance, or aesthetic fit with local landscaping. Regional sourcing means textures and colors may vary, so review samples or photos when possible.
Choose a material based on load, drainage needs, appearance, and maintenance. For driveways pick a stable, compactible mix; for walkways and patios consider finish and comfort underfoot; for planting areas prioritize materials that support water retention or drainage depending on your plants. Factor in local climate and HOA rules when selecting color and texture.
Covina’s warm, dry climate increases UV exposure, dust, and surface heating, which can fade some materials and loosen fines over time. Pick materials that resist breakdown, settle well with compaction, and work with drought-tolerant landscaping to reduce watering. Proper grading and drainage help prevent erosion during occasional heavy storms.
Large deliveries can be scheduled year-round, but spring and fall are often best for installation because temperatures are milder for crews and plants. Summer deliveries are possible but may require extra planning for heat and work-hour limitations; winter in Covina is mild so rain delays are less common than in wetter climates. Book ahead of busy seasons and holiday periods to secure your preferred date.
Minimum orders are typically 3 tons with many areas offering free standard delivery, but fees vary by supplier and exact delivery location. Hello Gravel’s standard lead time is 2+ business days, with a next-day option available for orders placed before noon CST for an extra fee. Additional charges can apply for long-distance hauls, difficult access, or special services like tailgate spreading, which is performed at the driver’s discretion.
Most suppliers deliver across Covina, but delivery zones and fees depend on the local supplier’s range, truck routing, and road access. Narrow streets, gated communities, low-clearance areas, or weight-restricted roads may require alternate drop locations or extra handling fees. Provide accurate access notes and photos at checkout to avoid surprises and to get an accurate quote.
Large projects can trigger local permits for grading, driveway changes, or street use; HOA rules may restrict visible materials, colors, or amounts stored on site. Check with the City of Covina planning or public works departments and your HOA before ordering to confirm permit requirements and design guidelines. Securing approvals ahead of time helps avoid delays or extra work after delivery.
Covina properties can have slopes and compacted soils that affect drainage and erosion risk; choose materials that promote stable grading and good runoff control. For sloped areas consider erosion-resistant aggregates, geotextile underlayment, or retaining structures, and always design swales or drains to move water away from structures. A small test excavation or consultation with a local contractor helps identify subsurface soil conditions before ordering large quantities.
Drought-friendly choices reduce water demand and often lower long-term maintenance; consider materials suited for xeriscaping and mulch or stone finishes that conserve soil moisture. Permeable surfaces can help with occasional rain capture while limiting runoff, and selecting native or drought-tolerant plants reduces irrigation needs. Check local water agency guidelines and rebate programs for drought-smart landscaping tips and incentives.
Prices vary because of local geology, supplier availability, truck distance, seasonal demand, and disposal or landfill fees. Heavier or rarer materials and longer travel times increase transport costs, while peak construction seasons can raise prices due to higher demand. Get an itemized quote and compare quantities, delivery fees, and any site-access surcharges to understand total cost.
Maintenance depends on the material and use: expect occasional regrading or top-ups, periodic compaction for high-traffic areas, and routine weed control. Permeable and loose-surfaced options may need more frequent leveling after storms or heavy use, while mulched beds will need replenishing as they decompose. Plan for simple seasonal checks and small repairs to extend the life of the installation.
Measure carefully, mark the preferred drop location, clear obstacles, and note any access restrictions in your order notes so the driver and supplier can plan. On delivery day the driver will usually place material from the truck bed; tailgate spreading may be available but is at the driver’s discretion and not guaranteed. Keep contact information handy and be present or have a designated person available to confirm placement and inspect the drop.
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.
