Gravel in Lakewood, CA

Typical delivered prices in the Lakewood area range from about $40 to $80 per ton depending on gravel type (bank run, crushed rock, decorative) and supplier. Hello Gravel has a 3-ton minimum order; final price on checkout reflects local supplier rates and any delivery fee. For a firm number, enter your zip code or request a quote.

Buying in bulk by the ton lowers the per-ton price, so order enough to cover the whole project rather than multiple small deliveries. Choose locally sourced materials, consider recycled base gravel for underlayers, and schedule standard 2+ business day delivery to avoid rush fees. Use Hello Gravel’s material calculator to right-size your order and reduce waste.

A 10–15 cubic yard load is roughly 14–21 tons (gravel density varies), so at $40–$80 per ton the delivered material cost would commonly fall between about $560 and $1,680. Exact pricing depends on the gravel type, local supplier, site access, and any delivery charges. Request a quote through Hello Gravel for a precise total to your address.

Common tri-axle dump trucks used in our network typically haul about 10–15 cubic yards, which is roughly 14–21 tons of gravel. Smaller single-axle trucks may carry less (often 5–10 cubic yards) and larger trucks can carry more; final payload depends on truck type and material density. Confirm the truck size with your supplier when you book if you need an exact tonnage for planning.

A 100 ft by 12 ft driveway at 2 inches deep requires about 7.4 cubic yards (≈10.4 tons); at 3 inches it needs about 11.1 cubic yards (≈15.6 tons). Plan on ordering slightly more to account for compaction, grading, and waste, so expect roughly 11–16 tons for that range. Remember Hello Gravel’s 3-ton minimum when placing the order.

A 20 ft by 20 ft area at 2 inches deep needs about 2.5 cubic yards (≈3.5 tons) and at 3 inches needs about 3.7 cubic yards (≈5.2 tons), so expect to order roughly 3.5–5.5 tons. At typical Lakewood delivered rates of $40–$80 per ton, materials and delivery usually cost between about $140 and $440. This estimate does not include labor for spreading or compacting; you can request tailgate spreading at checkout but the driver will decide if it can be done safely.

Hello Gravel’s standard delivery window is 2+ business days after ordering, and next-day delivery is available for orders placed before noon CST for an additional fee. The platform’s minimum order is 3 tons and deliveries are made by contracted dump truck fleets. Add delivery notes at checkout for preferred dates and any access instructions; drivers may perform tailgate spreading at their discretion but that is not guaranteed.

Clear the delivery area of vehicles, low branches, and obstacles and mark the preferred dump spot with cones or flags so the driver can see it from the road. Ensure there is a firm, level access route for a heavy dump truck and check for underground utilities before digging or grading. If you have HOA rules or permit requirements in Lakewood, check those first and add any special instructions in your order notes.
