Why Gardena Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Gardena homeowners live in a compact, steadily growing city — a city population of 73,910 within a metro area population of 2.5+ million — where steady development and infill projects keep demand for landscaping and hardscape materials consistent. With a growth rate of 0.40% annually and a climate that averages 228 sunny days per year and 34.25 inches of annual rainfall, local yards need durable, low-maintenance surfacing that handles both sun exposure and seasonal runoff. In USDA hardiness zone 8b, plants and hardscapes are mixed across front yards, side yards, and alleys, so homeowners often choose gravel for driveways, pathways, drainage swales, and xeriscape planting beds. Homeowners value aggregates that control erosion, speed drainage, and reduce long-term watering needs while keeping installation simple and affordable.Popular Projects in Gardena This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Gardena gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in Gardena.
Costs vary by gravel type and supplier, but expect material prices around $40 to $80 per ton for common gravels in the Gardena area. Hello Gravel often provides free or low-cost delivery in many zip codes, with standard delivery taking 2+ business days; next-day delivery is possible for an extra fee. Tailgate spreading is at the driver’s discretion and, when available, may cost an additional $50 to $150 depending on the job size and local hauler. Always check the delivered tonnage, minimum order (3 tons), and the quote in checkout for exact pricing.
Crushed rock (3/4" minus), decomposed granite (DG), and pea gravel are all commonly used in Gardena. Crushed rock and DG compact well and drain, making them good for driveways and walking paths; pea gravel is decorative and drains well but can shift underfoot. River rock looks nice but can roll and retain heat, so choose based on use (driveway, path, or decorative) and consider color—lighter stones reflect heat better in warm weather.
Use area x depth to estimate volume: 500 sq ft at 3 inches (0.25 ft) is about 4.6 cubic yards, and at 4 inches (0.33 ft) about 6.2 cubic yards. With typical gravel weight of about 1.4 tons per cubic yard, plan on roughly 6.5 tons for 3 inches and about 8.6 tons for 4 inches. A typical two-car driveway (about 450–600 sq ft) will therefore usually need about 6 to 11 tons; add about 10% extra for compaction and future leveling.
In Gardena's dry climate, gravel shifts and compacts more from traffic than from rain; light top-ups are commonly needed every 1 to 3 years in high-traffic areas. For low-traffic landscapes or well-prepared compacted bases, you might go 3 to 7 years before a significant replenishment is needed. Full replacement is less frequent but depends on wear, drainage issues, and whether vegetation or fines accumulate.
Routine tasks include raking to redistribute stone, replacing displaced material, weed control, and maintaining edging. DIY maintenance (weed spraying, raking, small top-ups) can run $50 to $300 per year; hiring a landscaper or contractor for periodic weed control and re-grading typically costs $200 to $800 annually. Expect to pay per-ton prices for periodic top-ups when needed and consider installing edging to reduce spread and maintenance frequency.
Gravel is generally the most cost-effective up front, with installed gravel driveways often cheaper per square foot than concrete or pavers (exact prices vary locally). Gravel offers better drainage and fewer runoff issues than impermeable concrete, which helps with stormwater absorption. Heat retention depends on color and stone size—light-colored gravel reflects more heat than dark concrete, but solid concrete can become hotter to the touch and holds heat longer than lighter aggregate surfaces.
Rules vary by neighborhood and HOA; some HOAs and local zoning codes have restrictions on rock size, color, or require a mix of plants for front yards. Gardena and LA County may also have drought-friendly landscaping requirements and rules about impermeable surfaces or driveway setbacks. Always check your HOA covenants and contact Gardena city planning or Los Angeles County zoning before installing extensive gravel to ensure compliance.
Homeowners can order through Hello Gravel to connect with local suppliers and schedule dump-truck delivery, or buy from local landscape material yards and recycling centers in the South Bay/Los Angeles area. Typical delivery lead times through Hello Gravel are 2+ business days for standard delivery; next-day delivery may be available for an extra fee if ordered before noon CST. Availability and lead times can change by material and season, so check zip-code pricing and schedule in checkout for the most accurate timeline.
Decomposed granite (DG) compacts into a firmer, more stable surface that is better for wheelchairs, strollers, and most pets when properly compacted and possibly stabilized. Loose crushed gravel drains well but can be uncomfortable for pets and hard to traverse with wheels. For pathways you want to use frequently or make accessible, choose compacted DG or a stabilized gravel product, add edging, and consider a compacted base to improve drainage and durability.
Typical base preparation steps include grading, removing topsoil where needed, installing geotextile fabric (optional), laying a compacted crushed-rock base (crusher run), and then spreading and compacting the finish gravel. For a contractor-installed gravel driveway in the Gardena area, expect total installed costs commonly ranging from about $1,000 to $3,000 for a small driveway (roughly 400–600 sq ft) or about $2 to $6 per sq ft depending on extent of excavation and base work. Get multiple local quotes and confirm whether the price includes hauling, base materials, compaction, edging, and any permit requirements.
As of today, we require 2 business days for delivery.

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.
