Decomposed Granite
Known for its natural look, this compact, durable material drains well and holds up in high-traffic areas.

Walkway Gravel
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). Commonly used for constructing roads, driveway bases, parking lots, and other paved and unpaved surfaces. Intended to be compacted, hence the inclusion of fines within the material to provide support and be resistant to erosion and shifting.

Frequently Asked Questions - Tarzana gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in Tarzana.
Delivered gravel prices in Tarzana vary by material and supplier, but expect rough ranges of $30 to $80 per ton for common gravels on the West California market, plus any small delivery fee or minimum-charge if outside a supplier radius. Hello Gravel has a 3-ton minimum and often shows clear delivery charges or free delivery for many zip codes when you enter your address. For an exact price, check our checkout or request a quote so we can match you with local suppliers and show delivered costs for your zip code.
Common choices in Tarzana include decomposed granite (DG), crushed rock (3/4" minus or crushed 3/4"), pea gravel, and river rock. DG compacts to a firm surface and suits dry Mediterranean hills but can dust and wash on steep slopes; crushed rock provides good interlock for driveways and resists movement; pea gravel looks attractive but shifts under traffic and can be pushed into gutters, while river rock is durable but can roll on slopes. Choose based on use: heavy traffic favors crushed rock plus base and edging, decorative beds favor pea gravel or river rock, and walkways often use stabilized DG or a grid system.
Hello Gravel's platform requires a 3-ton minimum order; many local suppliers in the San Fernando Valley also have 3 to 5 ton minimums and commonly deliver within 10 to 30 miles of their yard. Exact minimums and delivery radii depend on each supplier and truck routing, so enter your zip code on our site or request a quote to see which suppliers serve Tarzana and their specific minimums and fees. If you need less than the minimum, consider buying a small bagged product from a local landscape supply or ordering with neighbors to meet the minimum.
For a stable driveway in Tarzana, plan on 3 to 6 inches of compacted gravel: 3" for a light-use path or decorative drive, 4" to 6" with a compacted base for a standard residential driveway. To calculate tons: multiply area (sq ft) by depth (ft) to get cubic feet, divide by 27 to get cubic yards, then multiply by about 1.4 tons per cubic yard (density varies by material). Example: a 12' x 30' driveway at 3" depth = 360 sq ft * 0.25 ft = 90 cu ft = 3.33 cu yd * 1.4 = ~4.7 tons; add 10% to 20% for compaction and waste, and remember Hello Gravel minimums when ordering.
Hot, dry summers in Tarzana reduce freeze-thaw issues but increase dust and loosening of fine materials, while winter and seasonal rains can cause surface washout and rutting on slopes or poorly drained areas. Use heavier, angular crushed rock for driveways to resist movement and consider geotextile, edging, and swales to manage runoff on slopes. Regular maintenance—regrading, topping with fresh material, and checking drainage after storms—will keep gravel stable year-round.
Installed gravel driveways are typically the most budget-friendly option, with finished costs often in the low single-digit dollars per square foot for a simple gravel top layer and higher if you include base prep and stabilization. Asphalt and concrete are usually more expensive because of labor and materials: asphalt commonly ranges higher than gravel but lower than pavers, concrete is mid-to-high range, and interlocking pavers are usually the most expensive per square foot. Local site conditions, grading, drainage, and permit needs will strongly influence the final price, so use these as rough comparisons and get detailed quotes for your Tarzana property.
Los Angeles County and City stormwater rules encourage permeable surfaces but requirements depend on project scope and whether you are changing impervious area or doing a full driveway replacement. Small repairs or re-graveling may not require a permit, but larger replacements, curb cuts, or projects that affect drainage might. Check with Los Angeles County/City planning or your local building department and review regional stormwater best management practices; Hello Gravel can help you understand when a permit check might be advisable.
Typical maintenance includes annual to biennial regrading to fix ruts, adding a top-up of 1/2" to 1" of gravel every 1 to 3 years depending on traffic, periodic weed control or pre-emergent treatments, and clearing gutters and drainage paths after heavy rain. Small maintenance tasks like topping off gravel and basic weed control are inexpensive when DIY (tens to low hundreds of dollars), while regrading or hauling fresh material can cost more depending on tons needed and labor; get local service quotes for exact numbers. Regular preventive care reduces larger repair costs and helps prevent washouts on sloped sites.
On slopes in Tarzana, start with a compacted crush-and-run or crushed rock base, install a geotextile fabric to separate soil and aggregate, and use strong edging such as timber, concrete curbs, or steel edging to retain material. For steep areas consider terracing, check dams, or stabilization grids to lock gravel in place and reduce washout during storm events. Proper surface draining—swales or French drains—combined with structural edging dramatically reduces erosion risk on sloped lots.
Yes, permeable paver systems and gravel stabilization grids are available in the West California region serving Tarzana; suppliers and installers can provide materials like plastic grid cells, permeable concrete pavers, or modular turf/grid systems. Material-only pricing varies: stabilization grids commonly range from about $0.50 to $3.00 per square foot plus infill gravel, while installed permeable paver systems often cost several dollars to $15+ per square foot depending on labor and design. For a precise local price, request a quote through Hello Gravel or ask suppliers about typical installed costs for your zip code.
Reduce washout by using angular crushed rock that locks together, installing a compacted base and geotextile fabric, and adding firm edging to hold the material in place. Manage surface water with proper grading, swales, and drains to divert runoff away from the gravel surface, and consider stabilization grids on steeper slopes. Inspect after heavy storms and replenish or regrade areas showing erosion to prevent larger failures.
Contact Hello Gravel as soon as possible—orders can often be modified before they are processed or dispatched, but changes depend on supplier and truck scheduling. If delivery is already en route or the material has been loaded, modifications may be limited, so early contact improves your chances. Use the checkout notes to include preferences, and call or text our team for urgent adjustments or questions about switching materials or increasing tonnage.

The minimum order size is 3 tons.
