Why Arlington Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Arlington's city population is 15,000, and the area is growing at a steady rate of 2.50% annually. Located in a temperate zone (USDA hardiness zone 8b) with 33.20 inches of annual rainfall and about 228/year sunny days, the region balances wet seasons with long stretches of sun. That mix fuels steady demand for exterior projects—driveways, paths, patios, and erosion control—that require reliable aggregates. Homeowners and contractors in Arlington often seek gravel that drains well, resists displacement in heavy rain, and complements local soils and neighborhood character. Because regional sourcing affects texture and color, buyers prioritizing performance also want materials that visually match their landscapes and stand up to ongoing development pressure.Popular Projects in Arlington This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Arlington gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in Arlington.
A typical tri-axle dump truck in the Arlington area carries about 10-12 cubic yards (roughly 12-18 tons) depending on the material and truck. Price depends on gravel type, distance, and delivery options; in the California region a full truckload commonly ranges widely, so the best way to get an accurate price is to enter your zip code on Hello Gravel for a local quote. Remember our minimum order is 3 tons.
One cubic yard equals 27 cubic feet, so coverage depends on depth: it covers about 108 sq ft at 3 inches, 81 sq ft at 4 inches, and 162 sq ft at 2 inches. For typical driveways you can use the 3-inch number as a simple rule of thumb. Use Hello Gravel's material calculator for precise needs.
In common grading, #57 gravel is larger than #67. #57 is about 3/4 inch and is often used for driveways and drainage, while #67 is smaller and used for finer top layers and walkways; check local supplier descriptions since sizes can vary by region.
The three commonly used types are crushed stone (angular fragments good for compaction), pea gravel (rounded, decorative), and river rock (larger, smooth stones for drainage or landscaping). Due to regional sourcing in California, color and texture will vary, so request photos or samples if aesthetics matter.
Coverage depends on the truck size and desired depth: a 10-cubic-yard truck will cover about 1,080 sq ft at a 3-inch depth (10 cu yd x 27 cu ft / 0.25 ft). Confirm the truck size with your Hello Gravel delivery since truck capacities and material compaction differ.
Cost depends on driveway width, depth, base prep, and gravel type; for a 200 ft driveway at 10 ft wide and 3 inches deep you would need about 18-20 cubic yards of material plus prep. Get an exact material and delivery price on Hello Gravel, and remember to budget for grading, base, and drainage work which affects the final project cost.
For a 20 ft long by 10 ft wide driveway at 3 inches deep you need about 1.8 cubic yards, so plan for 2 cubic yards. Hello Gravel's minimum order is 3 tons, so ordering the minimum may be necessary depending on material weight and available packaging.
Less processed materials like bank-run gravel, crusher run, or recycled crushed concrete are often the least expensive because they need less processing. Local availability in the Arlington area has a big effect on price, so check Hello Gravel for nearby options and current rates.
With proper base, drainage, and periodic maintenance (adding new top material and grading), a gravel driveway can last 10-30 years. In Arlington's climate, expect to refill or regrade sections after heavy rains or over time to maintain surface and drainage.
Plain gravel does not harden like concrete, but products such as stabilized decomposed granite, gravel mixed with polymer stabilizers, or compacted crusher-run can form a firmer surface. If you want a hard, low-dust surface in Arlington, ask about stabilizers or alternative base systems when ordering.
Many full-size pickup beds can hold roughly 1 to 1.5 cubic yards by volume, but the weight of gravel may exceed your truck's payload rating. For safety and convenience in Arlington, we recommend delivery by a dump truck from Hello Gravel rather than relying on a pickup for heavy loads.
Letters like 'A' and 'B' are supplier grading labels rather than universal standards; generally 'A' denotes coarser material and 'B' more fines or smaller sizes. Always ask your local supplier for a grading sheet or sample so you know exactly what you are getting for a project in Arlington.
You can, but we recommend installing a compacted sub-base and a geotextile fabric first to prevent the gravel from mixing with soil and to improve drainage. This is especially helpful in parts of California with seasonal rain where erosion and settling can be an issue.
Angular crushed stone in the 3/4-inch range (a compacting base) topped with a smaller aggregate or fines makes a durable driveway in the Arlington area. Proper base preparation and drainage are as important as the stone choice for long-term performance.
Prices vary by material and distance, but 3 cubic yards is a common small-order volume and costs will depend on type and delivery; the fastest way to get an accurate price for Arlington is to enter your zip code on Hello Gravel for local supplier rates and delivery fees. Keep in mind our minimum order and that price comparisons are easy through our checkout.
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.
