Why Dana Point Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Dana Point, West California, California is a coastal community of 22,830 residents and sits within a metro area of 2.3+ million. The city is growing at a steady rate of 2.50% annually and benefits from a temperate coastal climate with 228/year sunny days and an annual rainfall of 34.00 inches, falling in hardiness zone 8b. That combination of growth, mild weather, and occasional heavy coastal storms drives steady demand for durable landscaping and sitework materials. Homeowners and contractors in Dana Point look for aggregates that manage runoff, reduce erosion on slopes, and create low-maintenance surfaces that stand up to sun, salt air, and seasonal rains. Gravel is a practical choice for many local projects because it promotes fast drainage and resists surface washout when installed with proper base and edging. In Dana Point’s climate—with 34.00 inches of annual rainfall and frequent sunny conditions—gravel works well for driveways, pathways, french drains, and erosion control on coastal slopes. Hello Gravel connects you with local suppliers and experienced haulers to source regionally appropriate gravel, schedule delivery on your timeline, and simplify logistics so materials arrive ready for installation.Popular Projects in Dana Point This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Dana Point gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in Dana Point.
A typical dump truck in our network is a tri-axle that usually carries about 10 to 12 tons of gravel. In Dana Point that load will generally cover roughly 400 to 700 sq ft depending on the depth: about 200-350 sq ft at 2 inches or 100-175 sq ft at 4 inches. Price for a full dump load in the Dana Point area commonly ranges from about $400 to $1,000 depending on gravel type and delivery distance; exact pricing is available when you enter your zip code on our site.
For a 1,000 sq ft driveway: at 2 inches depth you need about 6.2 cubic yards (roughly 8.5–9 tons), and at 4 inches depth you need about 12.3 cubic yards (roughly 17–18 tons), using a typical gravel density. Dana Point's mild, coastal climate means drainage matters, so many homeowners opt for 3 to 4 inches for low-traffic driveways and 4 to 6 inches plus a compacted base for vehicle traffic.
Coverage depends on thickness: as a rule of thumb, 1 ton of gravel covers roughly 40–50 sq ft at 2 inches, or about 20–25 sq ft at 4 inches. A 50 lb bag is about 1/54 to 1/56 of a cubic yard, so you need roughly 54–56 fifty-pound bags to equal one cubic yard. Use density and thickness to calculate exact needs: cubic yards = (area in sq ft * depth in ft) / 27, then convert yards to tons using the material density.
If you mean a 20 ft by 20 ft driveway at 4 inches deep, you need about 4.9 cubic yards (about 6.5–7.5 tons). Material and delivery in the Dana Point area typically run about $40–$80 per ton for common crushed gravel, so expect material+delivery costs roughly $260–$600; this excludes installation labor and edging. Prices vary by material type and exact delivery location, so get a quote through our site for a precise number.
Two inches is generally too shallow for a driveway that will see vehicle traffic; it may be okay for a decorative topping or a low-use path. For Dana Point homeowners, we recommend 3 to 4 inches for pedestrian pathways and 4 to 6 inches over a compacted base for driveways to ensure stability and reduce rutting. Consider geotextile fabric and proper edging to help keep gravel in place in coastal conditions.
In the West California/Dana Point area, common gravel prices typically range from about $40 to $80 per ton or roughly $55 to $120 per cubic yard, depending on type, color, and supply. Cheaper options are usually locally sourced crushed rock or basic washed gravel; decorative or colored gravels cost more. To save money, choose standard regional materials, order in bulk (minimum 3 tons with Hello Gravel), and select our standard delivery window when available.
Yes — Hello Gravel connects you with local suppliers and contracted dump truck haulers that deliver to Dana Point. Our minimum order is 3 tons, and typical trucks are tri-axle dump trucks carrying about 10–12 tons; delivery is usually included in many areas but fees depend on your zip code and job specifics. Standard delivery takes 2+ business days, with a next-day option available for orders placed before noon CST; request tailgate spreading at checkout but note drivers perform it at their discretion.
Yes, many Dana Point homeowners install gravel themselves. For DIY, plan for tools like a wheelbarrow, landscape rake, plate compactor, edging material, and geotextile fabric; calculate cubic yards first (area * depth / 27) and order at least our 3-ton minimum through Hello Gravel or buy 50 lb bags for smaller jobs. If you need less than our minimum, local retailers sell bagged gravel, but ordering bulk through Hello Gravel is usually cheaper per ton.
In Dana Point's mild coastal climate gravel can last several years before needing replenishment; typical topping up occurs every 2 to 5 years depending on traffic, erosion, and drainage. High-traffic driveways may need more frequent maintenance, while well-compacted paths with edging and fabric last longer. Routine raking, infill, and addressing drainage after heavy rains will extend the life of your gravel surface.
For a 10 ft by 10 ft area: at 2 inches deep you need about 0.62 cubic yards (roughly 0.9–1.0 ton), and at 4 inches you need about 1.23 cubic yards (roughly 1.7–2.0 tons). Material and delivery in Dana Point typically cost about $40–$80 per ton, so expect a delivered material cost in the ballpark of $40–$160 depending on depth and gravel type; for very small jobs consider bagged gravel if you don't meet our 3-ton minimum.
As of today, we require 2 business days for delivery.
