3/8″ Crushed Stone
(#89 Stone) A smaller crushed stone perfect for walkways and more decorative applications. Pathways will come to life with garden-like aesthetics and be comfortable under foot. Also suitable for various groundcover applications, as an underlayment for patio paver and turf projects, for playground surfacing and for filling gaps between larger stones.
#57 Crushed Stone
Multi-use crushed stone for home & landscape projects. Ranging from ¾” to 1” in size, #57 stone is a versatile product used for concrete production, drainage applications, driveways, parking lots, and as base material under slabs and footings. Large enough to provide drainage but small enough to lock together when applied and create a stable base and a relatively smooth surface.
Drain Rock

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.

Why Loma Vista Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Loma Vista homeowners are part of a growing local market—Loma Vista's city population of 30,000 sits inside a wider San Diego-Carlsbad metro area population of 2.5+ million, and a steady growth rate of 2.50% annually means continued demand for housing, outdoor living spaces, and infrastructure updates. That steady expansion translates into more driveways, patios, garden renovations, and grading jobs where durable, well-specified bulk materials matter. With 228 sunny days per year and average annual rainfall of 33.90 inches, projects must balance sun exposure with episodic winter rains: UV-stable surfaces, permeable aggregates for runoff management, mulches and soils that retain moisture without causing poor drainage, and fill materials that compact reliably for walkways and foundations. In this environment, sourcing regionally appropriate gravel, dirt, sand, and organic aggregates keeps projects predictable and reduces callbacks.Popular Projects in Loma Vista This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Loma Vista Gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in Loma Vista.
Homeowners and contractors in Loma Vista typically order gravel, sand, dirt, and stone for landscaping, pathways, driveways, drainage, and base layers. Choose materials based on function: drainage and base need angular, compactable material while surface layers prioritize appearance and walkability. Regional sourcing means color and texture can vary, so request local photos or samples when possible.
Start by defining the project: a structural base, a walking surface, or soil amendment each has different needs. Consider drainage, load, and appearance — materials that compact well are best for driveways and bases, while smoother, decorative materials work for pathways and beds. If unsure, use Hello Gravel's material quiz or contact our team for recommendations based on your project goals.
Estimate by measuring length, width, and depth of the area and converting to cubic yards; most projects also benefit from ordering 5-10% extra for spread and compaction. For example, a 10x20 foot area at 3 inches deep needs about 1.85 cubic yards before allowance. Contractors often round up to the nearest half or whole dump to avoid shortfalls; use our online material calculator for quick estimates.
Hello Gravel connects you with local suppliers who set delivery zones and fees, but standard delivery generally takes 2+ business days and next-day delivery is available for orders placed before noon CST for an extra fee. Availability and fees vary by zip code, so check your zip at checkout to see exact options and any fuel or zone surcharges. Keep in mind minimum orders apply (3 tons) and delivery is typically by tri-axle dump truck.
Drivers may offer tailgate spreading at their discretion, and you can request this service at checkout, but it is not guaranteed. The driver will assess safety, access, and slope on arrival and may decline if conditions are unsafe or make spreading impractical. If spreading is critical, plan for a hired laborer or equipment to ensure consistent results.
Loma Vista's Mediterranean climate means mild, wet winters and dry summers; schedule installations to avoid heavy rains that can wash unprotected materials and complicate compaction. In rainy months, delay fine surface work and spreading until after soils dry, and choose materials with good drainage for low spots. Temperature and moisture also affect compaction, so plan base and paving work for drier windows.
Permit and HOA rules vary across neighborhoods; some areas require permits or design review for driveway resurfacing or visible front-yard changes. Check with your city planning department and your HOA before ordering materials to confirm allowable materials, colors, and permeable surface requirements. When in doubt, ask for documentation to avoid rework or removal later.
Pros measure project dimensions, add compaction allowances, and coordinate deliveries to match work stages—base, compact, then surface—so materials arrive when crews can install them. They stage deliveries on stable, level surfaces with clear truck access and protect driveways or lawns with plywood if needed. Clear communication with the hauler about drop location and site constraints reduces delays and double handling.
Materials that resist displacement and require less periodic topping generally need the least maintenance: compactable bases and larger, angular aggregates tend to stay put in driveways and high-traffic areas. For decorative areas, choose materials that match local conditions—lighter-colored mixes can fade less under sun, and well-draining options reduce weed and moss growth. All materials need occasional topping and edging to maintain a neat appearance.
Ensure clear truck access, remove low-hanging branches, and mark the preferred drop location to help the driver place material accurately. Create a stable, level pad for the truck to park on, protect paved surfaces with plywood if needed, and keep people and pets well away during unloading. If access is tight, inform Hello Gravel ahead of time so we can match you with an appropriate hauler.
Compare initial material and installation costs against expected lifespan and maintenance needs—some materials cost more up front but require less frequent topping or repairs. Consider local climate impacts, drainage, and intended use; for example, driveways carrying vehicles need strong, compactable base layers while decorative beds focus on appearance. Request quotes for materials and installation, and ask suppliers about regional performance to make an informed choice.
Natural materials vary by region, so color and texture may differ from photos; add notes at checkout if you have color preferences and contact customer service promptly if a change is needed. We will do our best to accommodate modifications before dispatch, but changes depend on processing and hauling status. For quality concerns after delivery, contact us quickly so we can work with the supplier to resolve the issue.
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.
