Why El Monte Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
El Monte is a busy, established community with a city population of 107,031, and its steady growth rate of 0.40% annually means construction and landscaping demand is consistent rather than boom-and-bust. In a metro area of 7.9+ million, homeowners are investing in long-term improvements, infill projects, and routine maintenance instead of only rapid expansion. With 204 sunny days per year, 49.77 inches of annual rainfall, and a USDA hardiness zone of 9a, the local climate pushes projects toward solutions that balance sun exposure and stormwater management. That combination makes quality bulk materials—dirt and topsoil for planting beds, sand and drainage mixes for paths and beds, mulch for moisture retention, and a range of aggregates for surfaces and erosion control—especially important for durable results in El Monte's environment.Popular Projects in El Monte This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - El Monte Gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in El Monte.
Customers in El Monte commonly order bulk landscaping and construction materials such as gravel, sand, dirt, stone and other aggregates for driveways, patios, garden beds, drainage and grading projects. These materials are sourced locally, so color and texture can vary based on regional geology.
Choose a material based on the intended use, drainage needs, and desired appearance. In El Monte’s climate think about drainage and compaction for driveways, weed control for planting areas, and how much maintenance you want; use our material quiz or contact our team for tailored advice.
Measure the area (length x width) and decide on the depth you need, convert to cubic yards (divide cubic feet by 27), then use a weight conversion to get tons—most aggregates range from about 1.2 to 1.6 tons per cubic yard depending on type and moisture. If you prefer, use Hello Gravel’s material calculator or call our team; remember our minimum order is 3 tons.
Delivery cost and timing depend on distance from the supplier, order size, site access and restrictions, local traffic, and whether special permits or street-blocking are required. Standard delivery is typically 2+ business days, next-day delivery is available for orders placed before noon CST for an extra fee, and free delivery may apply in many areas—check your zip code at checkout.
Drivers may be able to perform tailgate spreading at their discretion; you can request the service at checkout but the driver will assess whether it can be done safely upon arrival. Hello Gravel cannot guarantee spreading services, so plan for potential additional labor if precise spreading is required.
Permits may be required for permanent driveways, curb cuts, significant grading, or any work that affects the public right-of-way or stormwater systems. Local rules vary, so check with El Monte’s building and planning departments before ordering and let our team know if you expect to block a street or sidewalk so we can advise on potential permit needs.
El Monte has a mild Mediterranean climate but the rainy season (typically late fall through early spring) can affect deliveries and installation of loose materials—wet weather makes grading and compaction harder. Schedule deliveries ahead of busy seasons, avoid rainy days for final placing, and plan extra time if you need a specific delivery date.
Because Hello Gravel works with local suppliers, materials reflect the geology of the West California area, so texture, color and particle shape can vary. These regional differences can affect drainage and compaction, so review product descriptions, add color preferences in Order Notes, and contact our team if you need a closer match.
For low-maintenance landscapes choose materials that promote drainage, resist compaction, and require minimal weeding—options vary by use but generally include stable aggregates sized for foot traffic and beds that limit soil exposure. Use a permeable base for patios and paths, include weed barrier where appropriate, and consult our quiz or sales team to match materials to your maintenance goals.
Confirm site access (driveway width, overhead clearance, and any narrow gates), mark the preferred drop-off location, remove obstacles and protect sensitive plants or surfaces, and provide a clear phone contact for the driver. Also be prepared that the driver may change the drop spot for safety and that tailgate spreading 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.
Hassle Free! Our goal is to make the buying process for gravel and other aggregates as easy and seamless as possible. Enter your zip code on our site, select how much material you need (see below FAQ’s to determine order size), select the date and time frame you would like your material delivered at Checkout, and place your order with any major credit card. After the order is placed our in-house support team will contact you to confirm the details. We will send additional confirmations on the day before and the day of delivery. On delivery day, a dump truck will arrive to dump the materials at your specified location. We request that you have someone available to accept the delivery so that we can make sure to dump it in the correct location. That’s it!
No, because we are a national supplier, we utilize our existing network of suppliers across the country. Therefore, the materials will likely be delivered from a contracted trucking company.
We specialize in making the aggregate buying process as easy and seamless as possible by managing the process from end to end. We have a network of suppliers that we source the materials from where we have negotiated rates. However, we do charge a markup and because of this you may be able to find the materials cheaper on your own. But if you want a hassle free experience, then we are for you!
