Why Upland Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Upland is a growing community of 73,126 residents set within a broader metro area of 2.4+ million people. With steady expansion at 2.50% annually, local construction and landscaping demand is rising—new driveways, patios, yard refreshes, and small-scale infrastructure projects are common as homeowners adapt properties for both resale and everyday use. The climate here is generous for outdoor work, with 228 sunny days per year, 34.00 inches of annual rainfall, and a USDA hardiness zone of 8b. Those conditions mean materials must stand up to sun exposure, handle periodic heavy rain, and support drought-conscious planting. Homeowners therefore look for reliable aggregates that provide drainage, stability, and low maintenance over time. Gravel is a practical match for Upland’s climate and development patterns. Its permeability helps manage runoff from the 34.00 inches of yearly rain, while reflective, light-colored mixes reduce heat absorption across 228 sunny days. Gravel works well for driveways, pathways, drainage swales, and xeriscape beds—especially where soil and slope require stable, permeable surfacing. Hello Gravel connects Upland homeowners with locally sourced materials and trusted haulers, letting you order the right gravel online, pick a delivery date, and receive professional dump-truck delivery (minimum orders apply). We coordinate local suppliers so your material reflects regional geology and performs well in Upland conditions.Popular Projects in Upland This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Upland gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in Upland.
Delivered gravel prices in Upland typically vary by type, quantity, and distance from the source. Expect a rough range of $40 to $90 per ton (about $55 to $125 per cubic yard) for common crushed and decorative gravels; specialty or large river rock can cost more. Minimum orders often start around 3 tons and delivery fees or free-delivery promotions depend on supplier and your exact zip code. For a precise quote, check your zip on Hello Gravel or request a supplier estimate.
The most used gravel types in Upland are crushed rock (angular, locks together for driveways), decomposed granite (DG) and crusher fines (binds well when compacted for paths), and river rock (rounded stones used for accents and drainage). Crushed rock is best for vehicle traffic, DG and crusher fines are popular for low-maintenance paths and patios, and river rock is great for decorative beds and drainage channels. Choose material based on use: stability for driveways, fine texture for walking areas, and larger stone for water features.
Yes — Upland sits near San Bernardino and Los Angeles County supply yards and quarries, so local suppliers commonly deliver bulk gravel in truckloads. Hello Gravel connects you with nearby suppliers and contracted haulers who offer delivery; tailgate spreading may be offered but is at the driver's discretion and should be requested at checkout. If you need spreading or special handling, note it in the order and confirm with the supplier before delivery.
Installed gravel driveway costs in the Upland area depend on site prep and scope, but a typical all-in cost often falls in the range of $4 to $10 per square foot. That includes grading, base material, compaction, and edging; steep or heavily graded sites increase costs. For accurate pricing, get multiple local contractor bids and ask for a written scope that separates material from labor.
Use area x depth to estimate: a 12x40 driveway is 480 sq ft and a 20x20 patio is 400 sq ft. For 3" of cover, the driveway needs about 6.2 tons and the patio about 5.2 tons; at 4" those rise to roughly 8.3 tons and 6.9 tons respectively. Densities vary by material (crusher fines and DG compact more), so add 5-15% extra for compaction and waste and round up to the next whole ton when ordering.
Upland's climate means you need gravel that resists dust and moves well in winter runoff: angular crushed rock holds together better under vehicle traffic and resists washout, while DG and crusher fines can harden in dry heat but may erode in heavy rain. Plan for seasonal maintenance: rake and top up dusty areas in summer and check drainage and replace material after winter storms. Proper edge restraints and a firm base help reduce erosion year-round.
Possibly. Upland city codes and local HOAs can have rules about driveway materials, curb cuts, front-yard landscaping, and visible gravel color or size. Always check the City of Upland planning or building department and review your HOA guidelines before starting work; a permit may be required for changing a driveway apron or altering drainage patterns. When in doubt, request guidance from your contractor and city staff to avoid rework.
For paths, contractors commonly recommend 3" of material; for driveways they recommend 4" to 6" over a compacted base and geotextile fabric. Use solid edging like concrete curbs, metal or plastic landscape edging set in a trench, or low retaining walls to keep gravel in place and reduce washout. Combine edging with a geotextile fabric underlay and consider perimeter drains or swales on slopes to control runoff and limit weed intrusion.
Gravel is usually the lowest upfront option and is quick to install, but it requires periodic topping, raking, and occasional regrading. Asphalt and concrete cost more initially and need less frequent maintenance, while pavers are the most expensive up front but offer strong durability and high curb appeal. Consider your budget, desired look, and willingness to do maintenance when choosing between these options.
On slopes, combine terracing, retaining walls, or stone check dams with swales and French drains to slow and redirect runoff before it erodes gravel. Geotextile fabric and keyed-in edging reduce undercutting, and properly sized rock in drainage channels prevents gouging during storms. For steep or complex slopes, consult a civil or drainage professional to design a system that meets local code and handles peak flows.
Local tastes favor earth tones that match Southern California landscaping: warm tans and reddish-browns in decomposed granite, gray to tan crushed granite, and mixed river rock for accents. Common sizes that look tidy and perform well are 3/8" to 3/4" for pathways and beds, with larger 1"+ river rock used in dry creek beds and accent areas. Pick a color that complements your home and test a small area because natural materials vary by source.
Contractor guarantees for gravel installations are typically limited to workmanship and commonly run 1 to 2 years; warranties on the material itself are uncommon because natural aggregate varies by source. Ask contractors for a written scope, timeline for settling or topping up, and terms for correcting issues like improper compaction or drainage failures. Keep records of material receipts and delivery tickets so issues can be traced back to the supplier if needed.
As of today, we require 2 business days for delivery.
