Why Porter Ranch Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Porter Ranch has a city population of 35,980 and sits within a metro area of 2.5+ million. With a steady growth rate of 0.70% annually, the neighborhood is seeing ongoing residential development and landscaping activity. The local climate — about 225 sunny days per year, an annual rainfall of 34.60 inches, and USDA hardiness zone 8b — encourages outdoor projects that balance drought tolerance and seasonal drainage. Homeowners and contractors here commonly need reliable aggregates for driveways, erosion control, French drains, and low-water landscaping. Quality gravel helps stabilize soil, improve drainage after seasonal rains, and create low-maintenance surfaces that stand up to strong sun and periodic wet spells, so sourcing consistent material is a top priority for Porter Ranch projects.Popular Projects in Porter Ranch This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Porter Ranch gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in Porter Ranch.
Prices vary by type and supplier, but in Porter Ranch expect about $40 to $120 per cubic yard delivered for common gravels. Specialized decorative or washed gravels are toward the higher end. Hello Gravel minimum orders and delivery fees may affect final price, so check a quote for exact cost.
A 50 lb bag of loose gravel is roughly 0.5 cubic foot, which covers about 6 square feet at 1 inch depth. At 2 inches depth it covers about 3 square feet. Increase quantities accordingly for thicker layers or compacted surfaces.
Loose gravel by itself will not harden like concrete, but you can stabilize it with products such as polymeric binders, resin-bound systems, or cement slurry. Porter Ranch's dry climate is generally favorable for resin curing, but these treatments usually require a contractor and specific installation steps. Hello Gravel delivers materials but does not install or guarantee hardening treatments.
Yes. Porter Ranch is a neighborhood in the City of Los Angeles, located in the San Fernando Valley of Los Angeles County. This matters for permitting, HOA rules, and local delivery access requirements.
Costs depend on truck size, material type, and distance; expect a wide range roughly $300 to $1,200 for a single delivered truckload in the Porter Ranch area. A tri-axle truck typically carries 10 to 12 cubic yards (about 13 to 16 tons, depending on density), which influences price. Request a Hello Gravel quote for an exact delivered price to your address.
No, 2 inches is generally too thin for a driveway that will carry cars. For a stable gravel driveway in Porter Ranch, plan on 4 to 6 inches of compacted base of crushed rock with a 1 to 2 inch wearing layer if desired. Proper base preparation and compaction are important given occasional heavy loads and local drainage patterns.
A tri-axle load of about 10 to 12 cubic yards will cover roughly: 810 to 972 sq ft at 4 inches, 1,080 to 1,296 sq ft at 3 inches, and 1,620 to 1,944 sq ft at 2 inches. Exact coverage varies with the truck's actual yardage and how tightly the gravel is compacted. Ask your Hello Gravel delivery specialist which truck type will be used for your order.
Cost depends on width and depth. For a typical 20 ft long by 10 ft wide driveway at 4 inches depth you need about 2.5 cubic yards of gravel. At $40 to $120 per cubic yard delivered, material costs would be roughly $100 to $300, plus any delivery fees, compaction, or installation labor.
A 7 ft by 14 ft trailer bed will hold roughly 3 to 4 cubic yards of loose gravel, depending on sidewall height and how full you load it. Weight limits for the trailer and local road rules also matter, so avoid overloading. For larger needs, a truck delivery through Hello Gravel is usually simpler.
Concrete requires clean, well-graded aggregate; not all landscape gravels meet those specs. For structural concrete, use the aggregates specified in your mix design or get material labeled for concrete. If in doubt, ask your contractor or request the appropriate material through Hello Gravel to ensure compliance.
You can pour concrete over a properly prepared crushed rock base, but the gravel must be compacted, free of organic material, and at the correct depth (commonly 4 inches of compacted base for slabs). Pouring directly onto loose, unconsolidated gravel will lead to cracking and settling. Consult a builder for slab reinforcement and proper subgrade prep.
Common stabilization options include polymeric binders, resin-bound systems, stabilizing chemicals, and compacted fines mixed into the gravel. Each method has different durability, appearance, and installation needs; polymeric and resin systems provide a hard, dust-free surface but usually require professional installation. Hello Gravel supplies the base materials, and you can add installation notes or request contractor recommendations when ordering.
As of today, we require 2 business days for delivery.
