Why Glendale Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Glendale has a city population of 139,154 and sits inside the larger Los Angeles-Long-Beach metro area with a population of 1.8+ million. With a steady growth rate of 0.40% annually, construction and landscaping demand in the area is consistent and incremental—home improvements and targeted outdoor upgrades are common as homeowners invest over time rather than in sudden booms. The local climate and geography—about 228 sunny days per year, 34.25 inches of annual rainfall, and USDA hardiness zone 8b—drive specific material needs: products must resist prolonged sun exposure while also supporting good drainage during wetter periods. That means durable aggregates for stable surfaces, engineered soils and topdressings for planting, and moisture-managing mulches and amendments for garden beds. Choosing quality bulk materials helps projects hold up to both dry, sunny stretches and occasional heavy rain events.Popular Projects in Glendale This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Glendale Gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in Glendale.
Choose materials based on function and look: stability for walkways, drainage for planters, and appearance for decorative areas. For most yard projects in Glendale, consider locally sourced gravel, sand, dirt, and stone as a starting point; their texture and color will reflect local geology. If you need low maintenance, pick angular crushed stone for paths or decorative rock for mulch alternatives; if planting, choose screened topsoil or blended dirt. Use our material quiz or contact our team for specific recommendations.
Measure the area (length x width) and decide the depth you want to cover in inches, then convert to cubic yards (area x depth/12 /27 for cubic yards). Different materials have different weights, so convert cubic yards to tons only after choosing a material; for many aggregates 1 cubic yard is roughly 1.2 to 1.5 tons. Our online calculator can do these conversions for you and give a recommended quantity with a small overage for compaction and settling.
That depends on depth and material. For example, at 2 inches depth you will need about 6 to 7 cubic yards, which usually equals roughly 8 to 10 tons for heavier materials like gravel and crushed stone; lighter materials or mulch will weigh less. Use our calculator or call us with your area and desired depth for a precise estimate.
Truck sizes vary by hauler, but Hello Gravel works mostly with tri-axle dump trucks that commonly carry between 10 and 14 tons per load depending on local regulations and material density. Our minimum order is 3 tons, and smaller orders may be combined or delivered in partial truckloads. If you need an exact truck size for access planning, tell us your address and we can confirm with the local hauler.
Standard delivery typically takes 2 or more business days from order placement, and next-day delivery may be available for orders placed before noon CST for an additional fee. You can choose your preferred delivery date during checkout, subject to local supplier and hauler availability. We will confirm the delivery window after your order is processed, but exact timing depends on local schedules and traffic.
Drivers may be able to perform tailgate spreading at their discretion, but this depends on truck access, site conditions, and safety. You can request spreading when you place your order, and the driver will assess feasibility on arrival. Please note there are no guarantees for spreading services and we recommend planning for labor or renting small equipment if you need precise grading.
No, natural materials vary by region and quarry, so texture and color will reflect Glendale and Los Angeles-area geology. Photos are representative; you should expect some variation in color, stone shape, and fines content. If color or texture is critical, add notes to your order and we will try to match your request as closely as possible.
Glendale's Mediterranean climate—wet winters and dry summers—affects both installation timing and material performance. For example, apply mulch or soil amendments in spring or fall for best plant establishment, and avoid large earthwork during heavy winter rains to prevent erosion. For drainage projects, choose permeable aggregates and plan for runoff during seasonal storms.
Organic mulches can attract insects and, in some cases, encourage rodents or termites if placed against foundation wood. If pest attraction is a concern, consider inorganic options such as decorative stone or crushed rock, or keep mulch several inches away from foundations and regularly inspect. Selecting the right material depends on your site and vegetation; our team can help you weigh aesthetics, pest risk, and maintenance.
Local ordinances may restrict where trucks can park, require covering loads, or set rules for dumping on public streets, so plan delivery access and permits when necessary. Ensure the delivery area is clear of overhead wires, vehicles, and landscaping, and provide a safe drop zone for the driver. If you need help confirming local requirements, contact us and we can advise or coordinate with your hauler.
Hello Gravel specializes in delivering bulk materials and does not provide household bulky-item pickup or debris removal as a standard service. For removal of large objects or bulky waste, contact Glendale public works or a local junk-haul service. If you are replacing material on a site, ask our team about delivery sequencing so you can schedule removal before new material arrives.
Buying materials in bulk usually lowers the cost per ton or cubic yard compared to small bags, especially for larger landscaping or contractor projects. Costs vary by material type, seasonal demand, and local supply, so check our pricing for the specific material and your zip code. Remember to factor in delivery fees, spreading labor, and any required site prep when comparing options.
Contact our customer service team as soon as possible; changes are easiest to make before the order is dispatched to a hauler. We will do our best to accommodate modifications or cancellations, but ability to change depends on processing status and supplier/hauler schedules. Review your order confirmation for contact info and timelines to avoid delays.
As of today, we require 2 business days for delivery.

The material will be delivered via dump truck. If your order is under 20 tons, then it will likely be just one dump truck load. If your order is more than 20 tons, it will be more than one dump truck load.

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.
