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.

Why Walnut Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Walnut is a city of 39,918 residents experiencing steady, measured growth—about 0.80% annually—within a metro area of 2.5+ million people. The local climate is supportive of year-round outdoor projects, with roughly 228 sunny days and about 34.25 inches of annual rainfall in USDA hardiness zone 8b. That balance of sun and seasonal rain drives steady demand for durable, low-maintenance surfacing and drainage solutions: homeowners and local contractors are investing in better driveways, walkways, patios, and erosion control to protect landscaping and reduce maintenance under Walnut’s variable weather. Quality aggregates matter here because they manage water, reduce dust, and stand up to frequent sun exposure while complementing drought-tolerant plantings common to the region.Popular Projects in Walnut This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Walnut gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in Walnut.
Prices vary by material, supplier, order size, and site access, so we provide quotes rather than a fixed price. Hello Gravel connects you with local suppliers who will quote delivered cost to 91789; use our online 'Get a Quote' or call 855-241-8884 for an exact delivered price. Keep in mind our minimum order is 3 tons and delivery is typically by dump truck (tri-axle).
Suppliers may price gravel by the ton or by the cubic yard; 1 cubic yard of gravel commonly weighs about 1.2–1.6 tons (use 1.4 tons/yd³ for quick estimates). Hello Gravel requires a minimum order of 3 tons and will show local per-ton or per-yard pricing when you request a quote for Walnut. Delivery fees or access charges can affect the final per-ton delivered price.
Installation costs vary with site prep, edging, compaction, and labor, so ask local contractors for exact bids. As a rough guideline, full gravel driveway installation often runs about $2–$6 per square foot depending on how much base work is needed; for a 20 ft by 10 ft single-car driveway (200 sq ft), that translates to roughly $400–$1,200 plus materials and delivery. For an accurate Walnut-specific price, share measurements, photos, and drainage or access notes with local contractors or request referrals through our team.
For driveways we generally recommend 3–4 inches of decorative or surface gravel to resist rutting and to spread loads, especially in areas with occasional heavy rain. Two inches is thin and will wear quickly, show wheel paths, and may require more frequent topping. If you plan vehicle traffic or live on clayey soil, consider a compacted base and 3–4 inches of top gravel for durability.
Assuming a single-car width of about 10 feet, a 20 ft by 10 ft area needs roughly 1.25 cubic yards at 2 inches and about 2.47 cubic yards at 4 inches. Using 1.4 tons per cubic yard for estimation, that equals about 1.75 tons at 2 inches and about 3.5 tons at 4 inches. Remember our minimum order is 3 tons, so most homeowners choose at least 3 tons for a 4-inch depth or refill to reach the minimum.
Standard delivery is 2+ business days, and next-day delivery may be available for orders placed before noon CST; same-day delivery is not guaranteed but sometimes possible depending on supplier availability and stock. Deliveries are typically by dump truck (often tri-axle); if your street has weight limits, narrow access, low-hanging wires, or tight turns, a smaller truck or special routing may be required and could add fees. Tell us about driveway access and neighborhood restrictions when you order so we can match the right truck and provide an accurate delivered price.
Rules vary by jurisdiction and HOA, so check both the City of Walnut planning department and your HOA before starting work. Some cities require permits for changes to driveways, curb cuts, or impervious surface calculations, and HOAs often have standards for materials and appearance. Contact the City of Walnut and your HOA early—if you need, provide our team with the project details and we can point you to local requirements.
For driveways in Walnut, choose angular crushed rock (for example 3/4" crushed stone or 3/4" minus) because it locks together and resists shifting; decomposed granite (DG) or compactable crushed rock are popular for Southern California aesthetics and drainage. Avoid smooth river rock for driveways since it moves under tires; use larger angular base rock for sub-base and a finer top layer for walking areas. Consider local drainage and slightly clayey soils in the area, and add geotextile fabric and edging for longer-lasting results.
Hello Gravel primarily supplies materials and arranges delivery; we do not perform full installation work ourselves in most markets. Drivers may be able to perform tailgate spreading at their discretion if requested at checkout, but this is not guaranteed. For full installation (grading, base compaction, edging, weed barrier, and compaction), we can often refer local contractors or you can request recommendations from our team when you get a quote.
Hello Gravel offers online quotes, a material calculator, and phone support; free onsite estimates are not standard everywhere but may be available through our local supplier or contractor partners. To provide an accurate delivered quote and material estimate, we need your zip code (91789 for Walnut), project dimensions (length, width, depth), photos of access points, and notes about vehicle access or obstacles. For personalized help, call 855-241-8884 or upload photos and measurements through our website.
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.
