Decomposed Granite
Known for its natural look, this compact, durable material drains well and holds up in high-traffic areas.

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.

Why Covina Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Covina homeowners are building and improving properties in a growing, sun-forward region — Covina has a city population of 168,133 and sits in a metro area of 2.5+ million people. With steady growth (0.70% annually), ongoing residential and light commercial projects mean steady demand for reliable aggregates. The local climate — 228 sunny days per year, an annual rainfall of 34.70 inches, and USDA hardiness zone 8b — creates projects that must handle both dry heat and occasional heavy rain. Homeowners seek quality gravel to stabilize driveways, improve drainage, create low-maintenance landscape beds, and define walkways; choosing the right size and angularity helps material lock together, resist erosion, and fit Covina’s sun-and-storm cycle. Gravel works particularly well here because it sheds water, reduces mud, and tolerates long sun exposure without breaking down. In Covina’s soils and rainfall patterns, well-graded crushed gravel or clean drainage rock prevents pooling and protects planting beds from erosion while allowing quick surface drainage after storms. Hello Gravel connects you with local suppliers who source regionally appropriate gravel, schedule delivery on your terms, and coordinate professional dump truck delivery so you get the right material for Covina projects without the usual headaches.Popular Projects in Covina This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Covina gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in Covina.
Cost depends on gravel type, truck size, and delivery. A tri-axle dump truck in the Covina area typically carries about 12-16 tons; multiply the per-ton price by the tonnage for an estimate. Hello Gravel requires a 3-ton minimum and offers transparent, location-specific quotes — contact us or get a quote online for an accurate delivered price.
Use depth to estimate: at 1" depth you need about 3.1 cubic yards (≈4.2 tons); at 2" about 6.2 cu yd (≈8.4 tons); at 3" about 9.3 cu yd (≈12.6 tons). Local material density and compaction affect final weight, so use Hello Gravel's material calculator or request a quote for exact numbers.
One ton of typical gravel is roughly 0.74 cubic yards and will cover about 240 sq ft at 1" depth, about 120 sq ft at 2" depth, or about 80 sq ft at 3" depth. These are approximate values; different gravel types and compaction change actual coverage.
The most economical approach is ordering bulk delivered gravel (minimum 3 tons with Hello Gravel) rather than many small bags, and choosing commonly available local materials like crusher-run or base rock. Shop for quotes, combine deliveries for nearby jobs, and avoid specialty decorative gravels if budget is the priority.
Cost depends on depth and material. For a 20 ft by 20 ft driveway (400 sq ft), at a 4" depth you need about 4.9 cu yd (≈6.6 tons); multiply by your per-ton delivered price and add any spreading or labor fees. Use Hello Gravel's quote tool for an exact delivered-material price for your zip code.
For light pedestrian use or a decorative path, 2" may be acceptable, but for driveways you should plan 4" to 6" of compacted material with a stable subbase to handle vehicle weight and local rain runoff. In Covina's seasonal rains, thicker depth and proper base reduce washout and rutting.
A 10 ft by 10 ft area is 100 sq ft: at 1" depth you need about 0.31 cu yd (≈0.42 tons); at 2" depth about 0.62 cu yd (≈0.84 tons); at 3" depth about 0.93 cu yd (≈1.26 tons). Round up and factor in compaction and settling when ordering.
Per-ton pricing varies with material type and market conditions; common local ranges are provided in quotes rather than flat lists. Hello Gravel shows delivered per-ton pricing for your zip code when you request a quote — that gives the most accurate Covina-specific rate.
Locally sourced crusher-run (also called crusher fines or base rock) is often the most budget-friendly driveway option because it compacts well and is widely available. Recycled concrete can also be economical, but check local availability and drainage requirements before choosing.
With proper installation and maintenance (grading, topping up, and managing drainage), a gravel drive or path in Covina can last 5 to 20+ years. Lifespan depends on traffic, depth, base preparation, and seasonal weather — heavier use and poor drainage shorten service life.
A typical 7x14 dump trailer holds roughly 6 to 8 cubic yards depending on side height and compaction; that equates to about 8 to 11 tons for common gravels. Exact capacity varies by trailer specs, so check the trailer's volume or the supplier's truck size before ordering.
If you mean covering 1,000 sq ft, the amount depends on depth: at 2" depth you need about 6.2 cu yd (≈8.4 tons); at 4" depth about 12.3 cu yd (≈16.6 tons). For landscaping around a house, account for edges, slopes, and compaction when ordering more than the calculated minimum.
Decomposed granite, recycled concrete fines, and permeable pavers can be lower-cost or similarly priced alternatives depending on supply and project needs. Each has trade-offs for appearance, compaction, and drainage, so choose based on function and local availability.
A 50 lb bag is about 0.0185 cubic yards, which covers roughly 6 sq ft at 1" depth, 3 sq ft at 2" depth, and 2 sq ft at 3" depth. For larger projects around Covina, buying bulk delivered material is usually more cost-effective than many bags.
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.
