Why Los Angeles Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Los Angeles is a sprawling, diverse metro with a city population of 1.8+ million and a metro area population of 1.8+ million. A modest growth rate of 0.40% annually points to steady, sustained demand for home improvements and infill construction rather than boom-level spikes; that steady demand translates into consistent needs for bulk materials for landscaping, grading, and small-scale construction. With 228 sunny days/year and annual rainfall of 34.25 inches in a USDA hardiness zone of 8b, homeowners balance outdoor living and water management: long dry periods encourage drought-tolerant plantings and UV-resistant finishes, while seasonal rains require reliable drainage, erosion control, and properly graded base materials. Local geography—from coastal zones to hillsides—means materials must perform for permeability, compaction, salt exposure, and aesthetic fit with native stone and soil. Los Angeles’s climate and soils create specific challenges: episodic heavy rain and steep slopes increase erosion risk, while sandy coastal soils or compacted urban fills affect drainage and settling. Material performance depends on local conditions—well-graded base mixes for stable patios, drainage-friendly substrates near slopes, and corrosion-resistant choices in salt air zones. For homeowners, that means choosing materials that match drainage needs, load requirements, and plant selections while ordering the right quantities to avoid delays. Hello Gravel helps by connecting you to local suppliers, offering calculators and expert guidance, and scheduling delivery so you get regionally suited materials when you need them.Popular Projects in Los Angeles This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Los Angeles Gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in Los Angeles.
Consider the project goal first (drainage, surface, base, or decorative). For coastal areas choose materials that tolerate salt and retain shape; inland yards may need materials that handle heat and compaction; hillsides often require angular, well-graded mixes for erosion control. Request local sourcing information since Los Angeles materials reflect regional geology and can vary in color and texture.
Price depends on quantity, delivery distance, site access, and any local fees or permits. Smaller loads typically cost more per ton than larger orders, and next-day delivery or difficult access (steep driveways, narrow streets) can add fees. Ask for an all-in quote that includes delivery and any special handling so you can compare options.
Lead times vary by supplier and neighborhood; standard delivery is commonly 2+ business days while next-day options are sometimes available for orders placed early. Service is generally available across the Los Angeles metro, but some narrow or gated streets, hillside locations, and tight access areas may limit truck delivery. Always check your zip code and request a delivery assessment if your site has access issues.
Possibly. Street use permits, temporary no-parking permits, or driveway protection requirements can be required for large deliveries or when trucks must park on public streets. HOAs or local municipalities may have their own rules about material storage, truck access, or changes to drainage. Check with the city of Los Angeles and your HOA before scheduling large deliveries to avoid fines or delays.
Los Angeles has a mild climate, but the dry months (spring through early fall) are generally best for deliveries and ground-work to avoid rain-related delays. Avoid scheduling grading or material-sensitive installs right before the rainy season; for hillside work, choose dry windows to reduce erosion risk. Early morning deliveries can also minimize heat-related handling issues in summer.
Measure the area (length x width) and decide on desired depth, then convert to cubic yards (area x depth in feet / 27). Convert cubic yards to tons using an approximate density range: roughly 1.2 to 1.7 tons per cubic yard depending on the material. Use a material calculator or contact our team with your dimensions for a quick estimate and be mindful of the minimum order size.
For drainage functions choose open-graded, coarser mixes that allow water to flow through; for surface finishing choose denser, well-graded materials for stability and appearance. Base layers often need angular, compactable materials while top layers prioritize texture and look. Consider local climate and slope: steeper or rainy areas need more emphasis on drainage and erosion control.
Confirm there is room for a dump truck to safely approach and unload (turning radius, overhead clearance, and weight limits on driveways). Clear vehicles, protect landscaping, and mark preferred drop locations so the driver can place material safely; tailgate spreading is sometimes offered at the driver's discretion but is not guaranteed. If access is too tight, ask about offloading options or smaller trucks in advance.
Common projects include driveways and parking pads, garden beds and mulching, pathway and patio bases, grading or fill for small retaining walls, and drainage trenches. Small garden beds often need 1 to 3 cubic yards; a typical single-car driveway base might require about 2 to 4 cubic yards depending on depth and existing base. For larger or more technical projects consult a contractor or our team for a tailored estimate.
Regional sourcing means color, grain size, and texture can vary across neighborhoods because of local geology. These differences affect both appearance and performance (compaction, drainage, and settling), so expect some variation from photos. You can note color preferences in your order notes, and suppliers can often advise on local mixes suited to LA conditions.
Contact customer service as soon as possible; changes are easiest before the order is dispatched and may not be possible afterward. If a delivered material differs substantially from what was described, report the issue promptly so it can be investigated under the company’s issue-resolution process. Keep photos and delivery details handy to speed up assistance.
Orders are typically placed through the online checkout where you select material, delivery date, and any special instructions; many services have a minimum order size. Common payment methods include major credit cards, PayPal, and digital wallets, and you can choose delivery windows at checkout. If you need help selecting materials or calculating quantities, contact the sales team for guidance.
As of today, we require 2 business days for delivery.

The material will be delivered via dump truck. If your order is under 20 tons, then it will likely be just one dump truck load. If your order is more than 20 tons, it will be more than one dump truck load.

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.

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.
