Why Baldwin Hills Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Baldwin Hills is a densely built, sun-soaked urban neighborhood with a city population of 1.5+ million and a surrounding metro area population of 2.5+ million. Steady growth at a rate of 0.70% annually and a temperate hardiness zone of 8b keep local construction and landscaping projects active year-round. With 228 sunny days per year and an annual rainfall of 34.25 inches, homeowners and contractors are balancing water management with drought-tolerant design. That combination drives demand for reliable aggregates that improve drainage, stabilize soil, and reduce maintenance. Quality gravel is a common choice because it handles runoff, supports pathways and driveways, and fits both modern xeriscape and traditional garden styles—making it a practical material for Baldwin Hills property owners tackling everything from small yard upgrades to larger hardscaping projects.Popular Projects in Baldwin Hills This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Baldwin Hills gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in Baldwin Hills.
Prices vary by material type, quantity, and exact delivery location, but delivered gravel in the Los Angeles area commonly runs roughly $50 to $150 per ton. Delivery fees, truck access, and minimum orders (Hello Gravel minimum is 3 tons) can change the final price, so get a zip-code quote to see exact pricing. Ask about next-day delivery or calendar options at checkout if you have a tight timeline.
For most Baldwin Hills driveways, angular crushed stone or 3/4" minus crushed rock provides good compaction and traction on slopes. Decomposed granite or pea gravel can be used for low-traffic or decorative driveways, but they may shift more on steeper grades, so consider geotextile fabric, edging, or a stabilizer if your driveway is sloped. Check HOA rules before choosing a visible finish.
A 20x30 patio is 600 sq ft. At 2" depth you will need about 6 tons; at 3" about 9 tons; and at 4" about 12 tons. Always round up to allow for compaction and waste, and remember Hello Gravel has a 3-ton minimum order.
Yes, gravel is well suited to Baldwin Hills' Mediterranean climate because it is drought friendly and low maintenance. It reduces water use and can help with erosion control on slopes, but choose lighter colors to reduce heat absorption and add plants to break up reflective surfaces. Include proper edging and drainage so gravel stays in place during occasional heavy rains.
A properly installed gravel driveway can last many years but requires periodic upkeep. Plan to regrade and top up 1" to 2" of material every few years, remove weeds, and check drainage after winter storms to prevent washouts. Good base preparation and edge restraints reduce long-term maintenance in hilly areas like Baldwin Hills.
Both decomposed granite (DG) and crushed gravel work well for Baldwin Hills walkways. DG compacts into a smooth, natural-looking surface that is good for foot traffic, while crushed gravel drains better and has a looser texture. For accessibility or heavy use, consider stabilization products or a compacted crushed base to keep surfaces firm.
Basic delivery and spreading of gravel often fall in the $2 to $6 per square foot range in the Los Angeles area, but full installation that includes excavation, base preparation, edging, and compaction can run $6 to $12 per square foot or more. Costs depend on site access, slope, materials, and local labor. Get on-site quotes to compare exact scope and pricing.
It depends on priorities: gravel is less expensive and permeable, but on steep slopes it can migrate or wash out without good base work, edging, and drainage. Pavers provide a stable, durable surface that handles slopes well but cost more and reduce permeability. For steep Baldwin Hills driveways consider stabilization measures with gravel or choose pavers if long-term stability and low movement are priorities.
HOA requirements vary by association, so check your HOA guidelines first. Weed barrier fabric is commonly used and helps limit weeds, but it is not always required. If you plan to request tailgate spreading at delivery, note that drivers may or may not perform spreading and they will assess safety and feasibility on arrival.

This involves pulling the truck forward as material is being dumped to make it easier for you to distribute material after delivery.
