Gravel: Storm-Ready Drainage For Arleta • Fast Local Gravel Delivery On Schedule
Decomposed Granite
Known for its natural look, this compact, durable material drains well and holds up in high-traffic areas. Made from crushed and weathered granite down to a mix of fine gravel and sand—best for patios, paths, driveways, and landscape projects. Can range in color from light brown and tan to reddish and gray, depending on the natural stone color in the region.
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 - Arleta gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in Arleta.
Delivered gravel prices in Arleta vary by type and supplier but typical ranges are: pea gravel $45-80 per ton, crushed rock $35-70 per ton, and base or road base $30-60 per ton. Local sourcing, delivery distance, order size, and seasonal demand can move prices up or down, and Hello Gravel’s checkout will show your exact delivered price including any fees. Remember our minimum order is usually 3 tons, which affects small projects.
For driveways in Arleta, a crushed rock base (3/4" minus or 1" minus) topped with 3/4" crushed stone gives good compaction and durability. For walkways and patios, 3/8" pea gravel or decomposed granite-style blends provide a comfortable walking surface but need edging and occasional regrading. Lighter-colored aggregates reflect heat better, and adding a compactable base helps reduce displacement in the dry, dusty climate.
Regulations vary: some Arleta/Los Angeles County HOAs and city rules restrict loose rock in visible front yards or require certain paving standards for driveways and aprons. Always check your HOA guidelines and Los Angeles County or City of Los Angeles zoning and driveway permit requirements before installing gravel in a front yard or driveway. If in doubt, contact your HOA or local permitting office to confirm allowed materials, setbacks, and any permit needs.
Use this quick guide (density and depth vary): A 20x20 2-car driveway at 4" depth needs about 6.5 tons, and at 6" depth about 9.6 tons. A 10x10 patio at 3" depth needs roughly 1.2 tons (note our 3-ton minimum), and a 100 ft long by 3 ft wide walkway at 2-3" depth requires about 2.4-3.6 tons. These are estimates; use our material calculator or contact Hello Gravel for a quote tailored to your depth and material choice.
Hello Gravel connects you with local landscape suppliers and haulers that serve Arleta, including regional yards and quarries around the San Fernando Valley and Los Angeles area. Typical minimums are 3 tons, delivered by dump truck (often tri-axle), and many orders qualify for free delivery depending on distance and promotions; small-order or tight-access fees can apply. Enter your zip code on our site to see available suppliers, exact minimums, and any delivery charges for your address.
Installed gravel costs can vary, but expect a rough range of $2.50 to $8.00 per square foot in the Arleta area depending on scope and prep. Typical cost items include excavation and base prep ($1.50-$4.00 per sq ft), geotextile fabric ($0.50-$1.50 per sq ft), compaction and labor (varies by crew, often $50-$100 per hour), and edging materials ($2-$6 per linear foot). For an accurate installed price for your site, request a quote with site photos or an on-site estimate through Hello Gravel or a local landscaper.
In Arleta’s dry climate, light maintenance like raking and regrading is typically needed once a year, with thicker replenishment (top-up) every 2-5 years depending on traffic. Expect DIY costs for a small area to be mainly the material cost (a few hundred dollars for a top-up) while professional regrading or adding new material can run several hundred dollars to over $1,000 depending on area size. Weed control and occasional edging repairs are low-cost but important: plan for seasonal spot treatments or re-laying fabric where needed.
Gravel is usually the least expensive upfront and offers excellent drainage, but loose gravel can scatter and needs periodic topping. Decomposed granite compacts into a firmer walking surface and looks natural but can erode without proper edging and base, while pavers are the most expensive to install but give a durable, low-maintenance surface and more design options. For Arleta, choose gravel or DG when permeability and cost are priorities; choose pavers where permanence, clean lines, and vehicle traffic resistance are required.
For drainage swales use open, larger rock such as 1" to 2" crushed rock or river rock to keep water flowing and avoid clogging. For driveways use a compactable base mix (3/4" minus or 1" minus) topped with 3/4" crushed stone; for patios and walkways use finer materials like 3/8" pea gravel or screened mixes with an underlying compacted base. Always include a base course for structural areas and consider a geotextile fabric to separate native soil from aggregate in the San Fernando Valley soils.
Gravel is generally more permeable than solid paving, which helps reduce runoff, but compaction and fines can reduce permeability over time. Los Angeles County and city stormwater rules encourage infiltration where appropriate, so consider permeable designs, drainage swales, and native plantings to manage runoff on your lot. Check local stormwater requirements and, for high runoff areas, work with a contractor to incorporate proper grading and infiltration features.
Materials are delivered by local dump trucks; standard delivery is 2+ business days and next-day may be available if ordered before noon CST, with exact timing confirmed in checkout. Drivers may be able to tailgate spread at their discretion, but this is not guaranteed; note driveway access, overhead wires, gates, and permitted curb cuts before delivery to avoid delays. Always provide clear order notes and site photos so your supplier and driver can plan the safest drop location.
Use this simple method: area (sq ft) x depth (inches) / 324 = cubic yards, then multiply cubic yards by about 1.3 to convert to tons (material density varies). Example: a 20x20 area (400 sq ft) at 4" depth is 400 x 4 / 324 = 4.94 cubic yards, which is roughly 4.94 x 1.3 = 6.4 tons. For final ordering, round up for compaction and waste and keep our 3-ton minimum in mind.
Remove organic topsoil and install a compactable base layer of crushed rock (4-6" for walkways, 6"+ for driveways) in 2-3 lift volumes, compacting each lift with a plate compactor. Use geotextile fabric where drainage or separation from native soil is needed, and install a solid edge restraint to keep loose gravel contained. Proper base prep is especially important in hot, dry Arleta conditions to reduce dust, migration, and the need for frequent replenishment.
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.
