Why San Gabriel Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
San Gabriel, city population 54,133, sits in a temperate zone that is steadily growing and developing, with a regional metro area of 2.5+ million and a growth rate of 0.70% annually. Local weather—225/year sunny days and 34.25 inches of annual rainfall in hardiness zone 8b—creates steady demand for durable landscape materials that handle both sun exposure and periodic heavy rains. Homeowners and small contractors in San Gabriel are updating yards, improving drainage, and adding low-maintenance hardscape features, so they seek quality aggregates that resist erosion, promote drainage, and keep maintenance low. Gravel is an ideal solution for many of those needs because it balances permeability, durability, and aesthetic flexibility for driveways, pathways, dry creek beds, and base layers for paving projects.Popular Projects in San Gabriel This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - San Gabriel gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in San Gabriel.
Gravel costs in San Gabriel vary with material, size, and depth but expect roughly $30 to $80 per ton for material. With delivery and basic spreading, installed prices usually fall between $1.50 and $5.00 per square foot depending on depth and site access; high-access or steep sites raise labor and delivery fees. For an exact price, request a Hello Gravel quote — we show transparent pricing and can factor local hauling and site constraints.
Decomposed granite and angular crushed rock perform well in San Gabriel because they compact and resist washout on slopes. Pea gravel and river rock provide good drainage but can shift on hills and are better for decorative areas and low-traffic paths. For driveways and sloped surfaces, choose crushed stone or stabilized DG and consider a stabilization grid or binder to reduce movement and erosion.
Use area x depth to estimate. Typical estimates: 2-car driveway (approx 400 sq ft) at 4-6" depth needs about 8 to 15 tons; a 10x10 patio at 2" depth needs about 1 to 2 tons; a 100 ft walkway 3 ft wide at 2" depth needs about 3 to 4 tons. These are approximate — order a little extra for compaction and grading and use Hello Gravel's calculator for exact numbers.
Hello Gravel partners with local suppliers and haulers across the West California area to provide regional materials and pricing. For specific yard names and current inventory, get a quote through our site or call our team — we will connect you with trusted nearby suppliers and show available material photos and delivery terms. Checking supplier reviews and asking for sample photos helps ensure the look and texture meet your expectations.
Common solutions include geotextile fabric under the gravel, cellular confinement/gravel grids, compacted crushed rock base, and polymer or resin stabilizers for the top layer. For steep slopes, combine terraces or low retaining walls with good edge restraint and drainage features to reduce runoff. Have a contractor assess steep sites; proper subgrade preparation and drainage are critical in San Gabriel's winter rains.
Homeowners typically regrade gravel annually or every 1 to 3 years depending on traffic and runoff, and add material every 2 to 5 years to replace loss from compaction and erosion. Expect to add roughly 0.25 to 1 inch of material per year in high-traffic areas; small replenishment runs are usually a few hundred dollars in material and delivery for typical yards. Regular maintenance like raking, weed control, and edge repairs keeps long-term costs down.
Gravel has the lowest upfront material cost and excellent drainage, making it good for reducing runoff in San Gabriel's wet season. Asphalt and concrete cost more initially and last longer under heavy vehicle traffic but reduce permeability; permeable pavers provide a balance with good drainage and a longer lifespan but higher installation cost. Choose based on budget, desired maintenance level, and whether permeability is a priority for your site.
Yes — San Gabriel may have zoning, stormwater, and curb cut rules, and many HOAs have design standards or approval processes for driveway and front-yard changes. Before ordering, contact the City of San Gabriel building or planning department and review your HOA guidelines to confirm allowed materials, drainage requirements, and any permit needs. Hello Gravel recommends checking rules early to avoid delays and to include any required retaining or drainage work in your plan.
Hello Gravel has a minimum order of 3 tons and standard delivery time of 2+ business days; next-day delivery is available for orders placed before noon CST for an extra fee. Delivery charges vary by distance, site access, and dump location — many areas have free delivery while narrow streets, steep driveways, or difficult drop locations can incur additional fees. Tri-axle dump trucks need room to maneuver and about 12 to 14 ft of vertical and horizontal clearance, so note access restrictions in Order Notes.
Mixes with angular crushed stone and a proportion of fines (often called 'crusher run' or '3/8" minus') compact well and reduce dust and tracking. Decomposed granite with a stabilizer also minimizes dust and migration on paths and patios. Regular watering, occasional compaction, and adding polymer stabilizers can further cut dust in San Gabriel's dry summer months.
Drivers may be able to perform tailgate spreading at their discretion — request this service at checkout and the driver will assess safety and access on arrival. There are no guarantees of spreading services; limited space, slope, or obstructions may prevent spreading. If you need a guaranteed spread, consider hiring a landscaper or requesting professional spreading in your service order.
Clear the planned dump area of vehicles, low branches, and obstructions, and mark preferred drop points in the Order Notes so the driver knows where to place material. Ensure there is adequate turning room and that overhead wires, gates, or low trees are noted; if street blocking is required, check local permit rules. If you expect tight access or a remote drop location, mention that when ordering so we can plan the right truck and crew.
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.
