Decomposed Granite
Known for its natural look, this compact, durable material drains well and holds up in high-traffic areas. Made from crushed and weathered granite down to a mix of fine gravel and sand—best for patios, paths, driveways, and landscape projects. Can range in color from light brown and tan to reddish and gray, depending on the natural stone color in the region.
Topsoil
High-grade soil enriched with organic matter. Perfect for landscaping, lawn establishment and repair, and for improving existing soil.
Fulfillment:
Should never be fulfilled with material that does not include an organic component, though organic components should be small.
2-10% organic is ideal
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.
3/4″ Crushed Stone
A reliable, clean ¾” crushed granite or limestone with many applications. Great for gravel driveways, concrete mixes, landscaping applications, and backfilling retaining walls or around foundations.
3/8″ Natural Pea Gravel
Decorative and functional landscaping gravel. Small, naturally rounded stones create an aesthetic appeal when used for pathways, plant beds and garden borders. Also great for water features, rock gardens, dog runs and playground surfacing.

Why Pomona Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Pomona's city population is 210, and the area is experiencing steady growth at 1.20% annually — a rate that points to ongoing demand for modest-scale residential upgrades and infill construction rather than a sudden building boom. That steady expansion, combined with a metro region of 2.6+ million people nearby, translates into more homeowners renovating yards, improving driveways, and addressing drainage or patio projects. Local climate and geography shape the choices: Pomona averages 35.50 inches of rain and around 228 sunny days each year in Hardiness Zone 8b, which supports a wide range of landscaping and construction activity but also requires materials that balance permeability, erosion control, and longevity. For homeowners, that means selecting reliable bulk materials — from base soils and sand blends to drainage aggregates and mulches — so projects perform well through wet spells and long sunny periods. Using locally sourced materials helps match the texture and performance you should expect for your neighborhood. Pomona's climate and soil conditions create practical demands on material performance: seasonal wetting followed by extended sun affects compaction, settling, and surface drainage. Materials that drain well and resist washout are important for slopes and low spots, while stable base materials matter for long-lasting driveways and pathways. For planting beds and lawn restoration, topsoil and organic mixes tuned to the local profile will establish faster in Zone 8b. Hello Gravel helps homeowners navigate these local considerations by connecting you to nearby suppliers and haulers who understand regional geology, offering transparent pricing, delivery scheduling, and guidance so you can choose materials that match Pomona's weather and project goals without guesswork.Popular Projects in Pomona This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Pomona Gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in Pomona.
Start with the project goal: drainage and base layers for driveways, stability for pathways, or appearance for landscaping. Consider factors like traffic load, slope, and local freeze-thaw conditions, then pick a material type that balances drainage, compaction, and look. If you are unsure, use Hello Gravel's material quiz or contact our team for guidance based on your site and budget.
Freeze-thaw cycles can cause shifting, settling, and frost heave if materials do not drain or compact well. Choosing well-graded, compactable materials and ensuring proper base and drainage reduces problems across seasons. Plan for occasional top-ups and seasonal inspections to catch issues early.
Typical ranges: a small driveway (one car) 3-6 cubic yards, a large driveway 8-15 cubic yards, a 10x10 patio about 1-2 cubic yards, and a garden bed 1-3 cubic yards depending on depth. Use our material calculator for precise results by entering your dimensions and desired depth. Remember regional materials vary, so confirm coverage with your supplier before delivery.
Prices vary by material and local supply, but a rough range is $25 to $75 per cubic yard or about $10 to $50 per ton for common aggregates in small Illinois towns. Exact pricing depends on stone size, sand or dirt quality, and local haul distance. Check Hello Gravel for transparent per-order pricing for your zip code.
Standard delivery is typically 2+ business days with next-day delivery available for orders placed before noon CST for an extra fee. Hello Gravel's minimum order is 3 tons and deliveries are made by contracted dump truck fleets, usually tri-axle trucks. Delivery fees depend on distance, site conditions, and required truck size, and some local areas may offer free delivery for qualifying orders.
Drivers may be able to perform tailgate spreading at their discretion and only if it can be done safely at the delivery site. Request spreading at checkout and the driver will assess conditions on arrival, but Hello Gravel does not guarantee spreading services. For precise spreading needs, consider hiring a local landscaper or contractor.
Narrow driveways, low-hanging wires, steep slopes, and soft soils can limit truck access and influence which materials perform best. You may need smaller trucks or staged deliveries for tight access, and steeper sites often require more stable, angular materials and additional base work. Provide detailed access notes at checkout so the hauler can plan safely.
Spring through summer is the busiest season, so prices and lead times can be higher and suppliers busier; late fall and winter can offer quieter windows but availability may be limited. For best scheduling and rates, order several weeks ahead during peak season and consider off-peak months for larger projects. Always account for weather and ground conditions when planning delivery dates.
Permit and HOA rules vary by city, county, and neighborhood. Check with Pomona city hall or your county building department and review any HOA covenants before installing a new driveway or placing large quantities of material. Also confirm any curb cut, right-of-way, or weight-restriction rules that could affect delivery.
Clear the delivery area of vehicles, lawn furniture, and fragile plants, and mark any underground utilities and overhead obstructions. Create a clear path for the truck and designate a drop location in the Order Notes to help drivers place material where you want it. Protect nearby landscaping and hardscapes with boards or tarps if needed.
Most materials need occasional replenishing, regrading, and weed control; high-traffic areas may compact and require periodic top-ups. Materials that drain well and are properly installed tend to have lower long-term costs, while softer materials may require more frequent maintenance. Budget for annual inspection and minor touch-ups to extend the life of your installation.
Contact Hello Gravel as soon as possible to request changes; modifications are easier before the order is processed or dispatched. Changes or cancellations after dispatch may be limited and could incur additional fees based on supplier and trucking schedules. Our team will work to accommodate requests but cannot guarantee all changes.
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.
