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.
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).

Why La Sierra Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
La Sierra, with a city population of 46,000, is a growing community that sees steady demand for reliable building and landscaping materials. At a 2.50% annual growth rate and a regional climate marked by 228 sunny days and 33.20 inches of annual rainfall in USDA hardiness zone 8b, homeowners and local contractors are regularly updating yards, driveways, and drainage systems. That steady growth, combined with a temperate but sun-heavy climate, drives projects that need durable, low-maintenance materials. Gravel is a go-to aggregate here because it handles seasonal runoff, reduces erosion on sloped lots, and supports drought-tolerant landscape designs popular in La Sierra neighborhoods. Gravel performs well in La Sierra’s mix of sun and rain: it sheds water to protect foundations during the 33.20 inches of yearly precipitation, resists surface deterioration under 228 sunny days, and pairs well with native soils in hardiness zone 8b. Homeowners use gravel for permeable driveways, walkways, dry creek beds, and base layers for pavers. Hello Gravel connects you to vetted local suppliers and professional dump truck fleets, offering clear pricing, scheduled delivery, and regional sourcing so the gravel you receive reflects La Sierra’s local geology and performs reliably for your project.Popular Projects in La Sierra This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - La Sierra gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in La Sierra.
Typical delivered prices in La Sierra vary by material and supplier, but expect roughly $40 to $85 per cubic yard and about $30 to $60 per ton for common driveway/landscaping gravel. Finer decorative gravels or specialty mixes can be higher. Final price depends on gravel type, delivery distance, and any local fees or taxes.
One cubic yard (27 cubic feet) covers about 324 sq ft at 1", 162 sq ft at 2", and 108 sq ft at 3". A typical cubic yard of gravel weighs about 1.4 tons, so 1 ton (roughly 0.7 yd3) covers about 227 sq ft at 1", 113 sq ft at 2", and 76 sq ft at 3". These are estimates; different gravels compact differently, so add extra for settling.
Hello Gravel requires a 3-ton minimum order. Many local suppliers include free delivery within a standard radius, but fees commonly range from $0 to $150 per load depending on distance, access, and supplier. Some suppliers add per-mile surcharges beyond a service area (often $2 to $4 per mile) or extra fees for tight access, steep driveways, or special permits.
For common driveway gravel in La Sierra, a delivered cubic yard typically runs about $55 to $95 all-in, though it can be lower for simple road base or higher for decorative gravels. Taxes, local delivery surcharges, and any small access or dump fees affect the final number. The best way to get an exact total is to check the quote at checkout for your zip code.
Crushed rock/road base (3/4" minus or crusher run) and decomposed granite (DG) are common choices in the La Sierra area. Crusher run provides a stable, affordable base and is usually cheaper than decorative pea gravel or colored DG, while decorative or washed gravels cost more due to processing and scarcity. Your choice affects price, drainage, and how often you need to regrade or top up the surface.
Measure length and width to get square feet, choose a depth in inches, then multiply area by depth (in feet) and divide by 27 to get cubic yards. Example: a 20'x40' driveway at 3" depth = 800 sq ft * 0.25 ft = 200 cu ft = 7.4 yd3, or about 10.4 tons (using ~1.4 tons/yd3). Order 5-10% extra for compaction, grading, and waste, and round up to meet the 3-ton minimum.
Standard delivery through Hello Gravel is typically 2+ business days after ordering. Next-day delivery is available for orders placed before noon CST for an additional fee, but availability depends on local supplier and truck schedules. Book early for weekends, big projects, or during high-demand seasons to secure your preferred date.
Yes. Demand peaks in spring and summer and after storms, which can raise prices and extend lead times in the California Region. Quarry maintenance, storm runoff, and truck availability can also temporarily limit supply. For larger projects, lock in materials early and consider flexible delivery dates to avoid seasonal price spikes.
Hello Gravel works with local suppliers to offer competitive rates and can provide bulk or repeat-customer pricing depending on supplier and order size. Contractors and commercial customers should contact our sales team to discuss account pricing, volume discounts, and scheduled deliveries. Availability and discount levels vary by supplier and volume, so request a formal quote for large orders.
Possibly. La Sierra is part of the City of Riverside area and some projects like new curb cuts, expanding a driveway, or changes that affect stormwater runoff may require city permits or public works approval. Many HOA rules also restrict visible materials, curbside appearance, or require specific colors and maintenance standards. Check your city building department and HOA covenants before ordering, and contact our team if you need help understanding local requirements.
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.
