Materials Available for Delivery
Road Base
(Class 5 | ABC | Crusher Run) A mixture of crushed limestone or granite, gravel, and sand, ranging from 1 ½” in size down to fines (small particles). Commonly used for constructing roads, driveway bases, parking lots, and other paved and unpaved surfaces. Intended to be compacted, hence the inclusion of fines within the material to provide support and be resistant to erosion and shifting.
Walkway Gravel
A smaller ⅜” crushed stone that is great for paths, patios, and garden walkways. Comfortable under foot thanks to its smaller size, and creates a beautiful garden-like atmosphere.
#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
A larger 1 ½” crushed gravel that allows for water flow and drainage, preventing accumulation and pooling when properly installed. Perfect for french drains and other drainage applications, around utility lines, septic systems, sump pump basins and drainage pits.
Black Shredded Mulch
Rich black shredded hardwood mulch made from oak, hickory, and maple. Holds in moisture, blocks weeds, and gives your garden beds a bold look that makes green plants and colorful flowers stand out.

Why Palmdale Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Palmdale (city population 162,626) sits in the high desert of northern Los Angeles County within a metro area of 2.5+ million residents. Its steady 0.40% annual growth translates into ongoing residential and infrastructure projects—measured, but persistent demand for materials for new yards, driveways, and public works. The local semi-arid climate, with about 228 sunny days per year, 34.25 inches of annual rainfall, and USDA hardiness zone 8b, creates particular needs: durable base materials for reliable drainage, mixes that tolerate short but intense storms and long dry spells, and soils and mulches that support drought‑tolerant plantings. Homeowners benefit from sourcing bulk aggregates, soils, sands, and mulches that reflect local geology so materials perform as expected across Palmdale’s range of residential and commercial projects.Popular Projects in Palmdale This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Palmdale Gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in Palmdale.
Palmdale's high-desert climate means hot, dry summers and cool winters with occasional freezes, so choose materials that handle temperature swings and low moisture. Prioritize good drainage and erosion resistance—materials like compactable aggregates and well-draining base mixes work well. Expect more dust in summer and harder, sometimes freeze-affected soils in winter, so plan for stabilizers or a protective top layer when needed.
For driveways and access, choose compactable, stable aggregates that resist washout and dust and provide good traction in dry conditions. A layered approach with a firm base material and a durable top course is usually best, and contractors often compact each layer for longevity. Discuss access, truck weight, and local grading with your supplier to match the material to your site conditions.
In Palmdale's dry climate, many homeowners choose permeable materials and soils that retain just enough moisture for drought-tolerant plants while reducing evaporation. A balanced mix of well-draining base material and planting soil helps roots establish, and inorganic covers like small rock or gravel reduce water loss and maintenance. Consider plant hardiness (USDA zone 8a in much of Palmdale) when selecting soil blends and top layers.
Measure the length, width, and desired depth of the area to get a cubic measure, then convert to cubic yards using an online calculator or our material calculator at checkout. Check your project notes for compaction factors—some materials require extra allowance for settling—and remember our minimum order is 3 tons. If you are unsure, contact our team with dimensions and project type for a quick estimate.
Materials are regionally sourced, so color, texture, and particle size can vary based on local geology in and around Palmdale. Photos are representative; expect natural variation between batches. If color or texture is important to your project, add details in Order Notes or contact our team for guidance before ordering.
Standard delivery typically requires 2+ business days, and next-day delivery is available for orders placed before noon CST for an additional fee. Most deliveries use tri-axle dump trucks and may be free in many areas—check zip code 93550 at checkout for availability. You can choose a preferred delivery date on checkout, but exact arrival times are not guaranteed.
Drivers may be able to perform tailgate spreading at their discretion and can assess whether spreading is safe when they arrive. You can request spreading at checkout, but there are no guarantees that it will be performed. If precise spreading is required, consider hiring a local crew or contractor to follow up after delivery.
Local regulations, city permits, or HOA rules can affect acceptable materials, driveway surfacing, and delivery access in Palmdale, so check with your city or HOA before ordering. Some neighborhoods limit visible rock types or require dust control measures for delivery and onsite work. If you expect restrictions, note them in your order or contact our team for help selecting compliant materials.
Clear the delivery area of debris, mark obstacles, and ensure there is sufficient truck access and turning room for a tri-axle dump truck. Protect nearby landscaping, pavers, gutters, and low-hanging structures, and let the driver know about any weight limits on driveways. If you need materials placed in a specific spot, add detailed notes at checkout and consider having someone on site to direct the driver.
Contact our team as soon as possible—changes are easier to make before the order is processed and dispatched. We will do our best to accommodate requests, but modifications depend on supplier and trucking schedules. See our order policy for details and reach out by phone or text for fastest help.
Yes—summer heat increases dust and can dry out loose materials, while cooler months may bring rare storms that affect truck access and material handling. Plan for seasonal demands: schedule deliveries early in the day during summer to reduce dust, and allow extra lead time in wetter periods. Regional sourcing also means availability can vary seasonally, so check lead times when planning large projects.
Homeowners should start by describing the project type (paths, driveways, planting beds) and desired look and maintenance level, then use a material calculator or consult our sales team for recommendations on mixes and quantities. Contractors often provide specifications like gradation or compaction requirements and coordinate delivery timing and access. Either way, include project dimensions, site photos, and any local restrictions when requesting a quote to get the most accurate guidance.
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.
