Why East Irvine Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
East Irvine homeowners are part of a growing Southern California community of 260,007, and that steady 0.40% annually growth points to consistent demand for home improvements, landscaping refreshes, and small-scale construction projects. In a market that sees 228/year sunny days and 34.25 inches of annual rainfall within USDA hardiness zone 8b, material choices must balance sun exposure with seasonal moisture. That means homeowners and contractors need reliable access to a range of bulk materials—gravel, sand, dirt, mulch, and decorative stone—that support drainage, erosion control, planting beds, and hardscape foundations. Modest but persistent development activity across the metro and neighborhood-level renovations drive a steady need for delivered aggregates and soils; quality, locally sourced materials matter because they reflect the regional geology and perform more predictably in local climate conditions.Popular Projects in East Irvine This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - East Irvine Gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in East Irvine.
For most residential projects in East Irvine people choose from gravel, sand, dirt, and stone mixes depending on the use. Driveways and walkways do best with angular, compactable aggregates for stability, while planting beds usually start with good-quality dirt or soil blends and are topped with mulch or decorative stone. Choose materials based on load, drainage needs, and the look you want, and consult our material quiz or sales team if you need help deciding.
East Irvine has a Mediterranean climate with wet winters and dry summers, so drainage and erosion control matter for material longevity. Materials that drain well and resist washout perform better through winter rains, while fine materials can blow or compact in dry summer winds. Regional sourcing means color and texture vary, so consider both performance and appearance when choosing materials.
Generally, larger, well-draining aggregates and compactable mixes require less frequent upkeep than fine sands or loose soils. Surfaces that are properly installed with compaction and good drainage will settle less and need fewer repairs. Organic mulches and finer soils look great initially but typically need periodic replenishing and edging.
Standard delivery is typically 2 or more business days from order, and next-day delivery is available for orders placed before noon CST for an additional fee. We work with local haulers who use dump trucks (usually tri-axle) and require a minimum order of 3 tons. You can choose a preferred delivery date at checkout, and we recommend booking early during busy seasons.
Expedited and same-week deliveries are often available depending on supplier inventory and truck availability, but they can carry an extra fee. Availability varies by zip code, so enter your address or call our team to confirm options and any cutoff times. We will do our best to accommodate urgent requests, but earlier scheduling gives the best chance for fast delivery.
Measure the length, width, and desired depth of the area in feet, multiply length by width by depth, and divide by 27 to get cubic yards. If you prefer tons, our online calculator can convert by material type since weights vary by material and moisture. Use our calculator or contact our sales team with project dimensions for a quick estimate.
Small landscaping projects usually do not require city permits, but larger jobs—such as grading, major excavation, installing retaining walls, or changing driveway access—often need city permits or HOA approval. Check with the City of Irvine building department and your HOA before ordering to avoid delays or rework. When in doubt, contact our team and we can help point you toward the right local resources.
Clear the delivery route and staging area of vehicles, toys, and landscaping items, and make sure gates and access paths are open for the dump truck to safely approach. Mark any buried utilities and flag sensitive areas to avoid damage, and choose a location that can support a heavy truck; soft turf or slopes may limit where drivers can safely dump. If you request tailgate spreading, note that drivers will assess safety on arrival and may decline if conditions are unsafe.
Because we source materials regionally, texture and color can vary from photos and samples; this is normal for natural materials like gravel, sand, dirt, and stone. If a material is substantially different than expected, contact customer service promptly with photos and your order details so we can review the concern. You can also add color or appearance notes to your order at checkout to help suppliers match preferences when possible.
Winter rains can delay installations, cause muddy conditions, and affect compaction, while very hot, dry weather can increase dust and make some materials harder to work with. Peak landscaping seasons can also lengthen lead times, so plan ahead for spring and fall projects. We recommend scheduling deliveries during dry windows when possible and booking early to secure the dates you want.
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.
