Why Arcadia Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Arcadia is a steadily growing community with a city population of 59,477 and a broader metro area population of 2.7+ million. That measured expansion (growth rate 0.40% annually) and the region's climate—228 sunny days per year and annual rainfall of 34.25 inches—drive steady demand for reliable landscaping and site-prep materials. Homeowners here frequently remodel yards, repair driveways, and add water-wise plantings, all of which call for durable aggregates that manage runoff, reduce erosion, and create low-maintenance surfaces. Because Arcadia sits in hardiness zone 8b, residents balance sun exposure and seasonal rainfall when choosing materials, so consistent quality and correct gradation are important for long-lasting results. Gravel is especially well suited to Arcadia projects: it promotes drainage during the region's 34.25 inches of yearly rain, limits mud and pooling, and stands up to high sun exposure across 228 sunny days per year. Locally sourced gravel reflects regional geology, so color and texture can vary—something homeowners can request in Order Notes at checkout. Hello Gravel connects you to trusted local suppliers and professional haulers, offers clear pricing, and schedules deliveries (standard delivery in 2+ business days, with a next-day option available when ordered early). We handle coordination so you get the right gravel for patios, driveways, drainage trenches, and garden beds without the hassle.Popular Projects in Arcadia This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Arcadia gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in Arcadia.
Material costs for common gravels in Arcadia typically range from about $30 to $80 per ton depending on type (crushed rock on the lower end, decorative river rock or stabilized decomposed granite on the higher end). Hello Gravel works with local suppliers who usually require a 3-ton minimum order and many deliveries in the area include free or low-cost delivery, but some routes or specialty materials can add a delivery fee of roughly $50 to $150. Exact pricing varies by material, supplier, and where in Arcadia you are; check your zip code and get a quote to see final costs.
For Arcadia driveways, angular crushed stone (for example 3/4" minus or crusher run) and stabilized decomposed granite are the best choices because they lock together, compact well, and resist washout on slopes. River rock and rounded pea gravel look nice but tend to shift and rut under vehicle traffic and are not ideal for driveways on foothill grades. For sloped driveways add a compacted subbase, edging, and consider a grid or stabilizer for heavy use or steeper terrain.
Arcadia homeowners should check the City of Arcadia Planning and Building Department and any HOA covenants before changing driveways or front-yard landscaping, since curb cuts, driveway expansions, or changes to impervious surface can trigger permits. Los Angeles County and local HOAs may also have rules about visible front-yard materials, parking surfaces, and replacement of turf, so verify before you install. For wildfire defensible space, follow Cal Fire and local fire department guidance on combustible vegetation near structures.
Use this quick rule: 3 inches depth needs about 1.25 tons per 100 sq ft, 4 inches needs about 1.67 tons per 100 sq ft, and 6 inches needs about 2.5 tons per 100 sq ft. Suppliers typically sell by the ton, enforce a minimum (Hello Gravel minimum is 3 tons), and often round up to the nearest half-ton or whole ton for pricing and delivery logistics. Always order a bit extra (5-10%) to allow for compaction, grading, and future settling.
Hello Gravel connects you to local quarries, landscape supply yards, and haulers that serve Arcadia and nearby areas like Pasadena, Monrovia, and Azusa; delivery availability is zip-code dependent so check online or request a quote. Many landscape contractors and some supply yards offer compaction, grading, and installation as add-on services, but dump-truck drivers typically only tailgate spread at their discretion and spreading is not guaranteed. Get written quotes that list material, delivery, spreading, compaction, and any rental equipment so you can compare apples to apples.
Arcadia's hot, dry summers can make loose gravel dusty and encourage weed growth, while occasional heavy winter rains can cause erosion, rutting, and washouts on unprotected slopes. Prevent problems by installing a stable base, geotextile fabric, firm edging, and proper grading/drainage; expect to regrade or add 1-3 inches of material every 1-3 years in high-traffic areas and to apply weed control or pre-emergent annually. For dust and long-term stability, consider compacting the surface or using a stabilizer-treated decomposed granite.
Permeable pavers generally offer better, more durable infiltration control and resist erosion more than loose gravel, but they come with higher installation cost. Gravel and decomposed granite are noncombustible choices for defensible space when installed and maintained correctly, but they require upkeep to prevent vegetation encroachment and erosion near slopes. Choose permeable pavers if long-term drainage control and low erosion are priorities and budget allows; choose gravel/DG if you want lower upfront cost and simpler installation, but plan for more regular maintenance.
Installed gravel driveways in Arcadia commonly range from about $1.50 to $4.00 per sq ft including material and labor, depending on material type, site prep, and slope; material-only costs are roughly $30 to $80 per ton. By comparison, asphalt driveways often run about $3.00 to $7.00 per sq ft and concrete about $5.00 to $12.00 per sq ft; both have higher upfront costs but can require less frequent topping than loose gravel. Annual maintenance for gravel is typically lower per visit but more frequent (occasional regrading, topping, and weed control, roughly $50 to $300 per year), whereas asphalt and concrete maintenance and repairs occur less often but can be more expensive when needed.
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.
