Why Glen Avon Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Glen Avon has a city population of 20,300 and sits within a metro area of 2.3+ million, a combination that keeps local housing and infrastructure projects active. The community is growing at a rate of 2.50% annually, and with a temperate California climate (228 sunny days per year, average annual rainfall of 33.20 inches, USDA hardiness zone 8b), homeowners and small contractors frequently need dependable aggregates for driveways, patios, grading, and drainage. As yards are subdivided, renovated, or prepared for drought-tolerant landscaping, residents look for quality gravel that handles runoff, resists compaction, and blends with local soils and stone. That steady local demand makes sourcing the right gravel — in the right gradation and color — an important step in any outdoor project.Popular Projects in Glen Avon This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Glen Avon gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in Glen Avon.
For Glen Avon driveways, angular crushed rock (3/4" minus or 3/4" clean) is the most common because it compacts well and resists rutting. Decomposed granite (DG) and pea gravel are popular for pathways and decorative areas; DG packs reasonably well for walkways while pea gravel is better for accents and drainage beds but can move under vehicle traffic. River rock and larger decorative cobbles are used for xeriscape beds and accent borders; regional color and texture will vary with local quarries.
Glen Avon’s heat and semi-arid conditions mean materials dry out and sun-bleaching can change color over time, so expect some color variation. Clay pockets in local soils can trap water and cause settled low spots, so choose angular, well-draining crushed stone and plan for compaction and proper grading. Adding a geotextile fabric and a compacted base layer helps prevent mixing with native clay/sand and extends performance in local conditions.
A quick rule for Glen Avon: each square foot needs about 0.00864 tons at 2" depth, 0.01296 tons at 3", and 0.01728 tons at 4". That equals roughly 0.86 tons, 1.30 tons, and 1.73 tons per 100 sq ft respectively, or about 8.6, 13.0, and 17.3 tons for 1,000 sq ft. Always add 5-10% for compaction and waste and note Hello Gravel’s minimum order is 3 tons.
Material prices vary by type and source; expect a common crushed gravel to be roughly $25-$70 per ton delivered in the Inland Empire, with decorative or specialty gravels at the higher end. Hello Gravel offers transparent pricing, often free delivery in many areas and a 2+ business day standard delivery window; next-day delivery is possible before noon CST for an extra fee. Factor in a small delivery surcharge for longer hauls and that minimum orders start at 3 tons.
Glen Avon is served by multiple Inland Empire quarries and aggregate yards in nearby cities like Riverside, Colton, and Moreno Valley; availability depends on your zip code. Many local suppliers will deliver small loads but often have a 3-ton or 1-cubic-yard minimum for truck delivery; some quarries prefer full-yard or multi-yard minimums for direct pickup. The easiest way to find exact suppliers and minimums is to check availability on Hello Gravel by entering your zip code or contacting our team.
Gravel driveways and paths can last many years with periodic topping and maintenance; crushed rock generally needs adding every 3-7 years depending on traffic, while decorative pea gravel may require more frequent leveling or replenishment. Decomposed granite can compact into a firm surface but may wash out on slopes and usually needs reapplication every 2-5 years. Routine maintenance includes periodic raking, regrading low spots, edging to prevent migration, and topping up after heavy rains or high use.
Permit and HOA rules vary: some HOAs limit rock sizes, colors, or require specific landscaping standards, and city or county codes can have driveway width or drainage rules. Before installing, check your HOA covenants and contact Riverside County or the City planning department for Glen Avon to confirm permit or stormwater requirements. If in doubt, request documentation and use Hello Gravel’s team for guidance on common local restrictions.
For slopes, use larger, angular stone near the top and toe of the slope and crushed rock (1/2" to 1" or larger) in drain swales to slow water and encourage infiltration. Where erosion is active, 1" to 2" rock or riprap can stabilize channels; combine with terraces, retaining features, and geotextile fabric to prevent undercutting. For gentler slopes, decomposed granite with stabilizer or compacted crushed aggregate provides a balance of stability and appearance.
Gravel is the lowest-cost upfront option and is easy to install; expect roughly $1-$3 per sq ft installed for a basic gravel driveway. Asphalt is mid-range at about $3-$8 per sq ft installed and needs periodic sealing every few years; pavers are the most expensive initially at roughly $10-$25 per sq ft but are durable and repairable. Over time gravel requires more frequent topping and grading, while asphalt and pavers have higher upfront costs but lower routine replenishment needs.
A proper base includes clearing and grading the area, installing geotextile fabric if needed, compacting native soil, adding a compacted subbase (4-6" of crushed gravel), and a 2-3" wearing course of finish gravel. Labor and prep costs vary with site complexity but expect base preparation and installation labor to range from about $1 to $4 per sq ft in the Inland Empire; a typical two-car driveway (about 600-800 sq ft) often runs several hundred to a few thousand dollars for prep plus material. Ask Hello Gravel for a site-specific quote and to arrange delivery and spreading options, keeping in mind tailgate spreading is at driver discretion.
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.
