Decomposed Granite
Known for its natural look, this compact, durable material drains well and holds up in high-traffic areas. Made from crushed and weathered granite down to a mix of fine gravel and sand—best for patios, paths, driveways, and landscape projects. Can range in color from light brown and tan to reddish and gray, depending on the natural stone color in the region.
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 Granite Hills Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Granite Hills, home to 9,364 residents, is growing steadily with a 2.50% annual growth rate and a climate that supports year-round outdoor projects. Located in USDA hardiness zone 8b with 228 sunny days per year and 33.20 inches of annual rainfall, the area sees both dry, sun-baked summers and enough winter rain to make drainage a priority. As new homes, driveways, and landscaping projects follow local growth, homeowners increasingly look for dependable aggregates that control erosion, improve drainage, and create low-maintenance surfaces. Gravel is a go-to material because it balances affordability, permeability, and durability, making it useful for everything from driveways and pathways to French drains and garden beds where reliable water management matters.Popular Projects in Granite Hills This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Granite Hills gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in Granite Hills.
Expect a range rather than a fixed price. In Granite Hills, basic crushed stone or base gravel usually runs about $25 to $50 per ton, while decorative washed gravels or specialty colors typically cost $40 to $80 per ton. Final price depends on local quarry supply, color/grade, and delivery distance — request a quote for an exact number.
Hello Gravel requires a minimum order of 3 tons and offers standard delivery in 2+ business days with a next-day option for orders placed before noon CST (additional fee). In many areas delivery is free, but fees in Granite Hills can range from $0 to $200 depending on distance, driveway access, and truck type; confirm charges at checkout.
For driveways use angular 3/4" crushed stone or 3/4" minus (crushed with fines) for good compaction and load-bearing. For decorative paths and patios choose decomposed granite (DG) or washed pea gravel for a softer look, while for drainage and dry creek beds use clean, washed 1" to 2" rock or river rock to keep water moving. In Granite Hills' dry summers look for materials that lock together (crushed) on slopes and washed stone for drainage features.
Coverage varies with gravel density; we use a common estimate of 1 ton ≈ 0.74 cubic yards. Using that assumption, one ton covers roughly 240 sq ft at 1" depth, about 120 sq ft at 2", about 80 sq ft at 3", and about 60 sq ft at 4". Densities and rock size vary, so check your material’s density or use Hello Gravel’s calculator for a precise estimate.
Costs depend on site condition but typical installed pricing in the area ranges from about $1.50 to $6.00 per sq ft. Expect base preparation (grading, weed fabric, crushed base) to be the largest variable: $0.50 to $3.00 per sq ft, material costs $0.50 to $2.00 per sq ft, and compaction/labor $0.50 to $1.50 per sq ft. Steep sites, engineered base, or extensive drainage will push costs toward the higher end.
Possibly — local municipal rules and HOA covenants vary across the California Region. Some cities or HOAs restrict loose rock in front yards, require specific colors, or have drought-landscaping approvals; check your city planning office and your HOA guidelines before ordering. If you aren’t sure, save time by asking Hello Gravel to note your address so we can flag common local concerns.
Use angular, interlocking material such as 3/4" minus (contains fines) or 1" crushed rock combined with proper subgrade, geotextile fabric, and edging to keep rock in place. For very steep slopes consider terraces, retaining features, or larger riprap/gabion rock at the toe, and install erosion-control mulch or vegetation where appropriate. Also design drainage channels to divert concentrated runoff during winter storms common in the region.
Inspect and regrade after heavy winter rains and plan to top up loose gravel every 1 to 3 years for driveways and pathways depending on traffic. Regular maintenance (raking, compaction, weed control, and replenishing eroded areas) will keep a gravel surface functional for 5 to 15+ years; lifespan depends on thickness, base quality, and local drainage. In dry summers you’ll have less washout but may need to address dust and settling.
Gravel is usually the lowest upfront cost and most permeable but requires more frequent maintenance; installed gravel driveways commonly run $1 to $3 per sq ft. Asphalt is midrange ($3 to $7 per sq ft) with lower maintenance than gravel but less permeability. Pavers cost the most ($10 to $20+ per sq ft) and last longest when installed correctly, but they require higher upfront investment; choose based on budget, appearance, and maintenance willingness.
Contractors typically source base gravel from local quarries or aggregate yards where crushed stone is sold in bulk, while decorative gravels are often processed, washed, and color-sorted at specialized yards or suppliers. Decorative gravel usually costs 1.5 to 2 times as much per ton as basic base rock because of extra processing and handling. Hello Gravel connects you with local suppliers so you can compare local material samples and pricing.
Measure the area and use our calculator to convert sq ft and depth into tons, remembering the 3-ton minimum. At checkout add delivery notes with your preferred drop spot, gate codes, and whether to request tailgate spreading (driver will decide), and expect 2+ business days for standard delivery or request next-day before noon CST for an extra fee. If access is tight or the drop requires offloading by hand, mention that when ordering so we can advise on costs and options.
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.
