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.
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 Hemet Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Hemet is a growing West California city with a city population of 110,912 and a metro area population of 2.5+ million. With a steady growth rate of 0.70% annually and a climate in hardiness zone 8b, homeowners here balance sunny, outdoor-focused living with seasons that include 228 sunny days per year and 34.40 inches of annual rainfall. That combination drives consistent demand for durable, low-maintenance landscaping and hardscaping materials. Homeowners and contractors in Hemet often need reliable aggregates for driveways, drainage trenches, pathway surfacing, and erosion control — projects where proper material, sizing, and placement make the difference between a long-lasting surface and recurring maintenance. Because local projects must handle both strong sun and periodic rain, Hemet residents look for gravel that balances drainage, stability, and aesthetic fit with regional stone colors and textures.Popular Projects in Hemet This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Hemet gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in Hemet.
A tri-axle dump truck load in Hemet typically holds about 10-14 tons and costs roughly $400 to $1,200 depending on material type, haul distance, and supplier. Lighter materials and recycled products are toward the low end; decorative or specialty gravels are toward the high end. Get an exact quote through our website since prices vary by local supplier and truck availability.
One cubic yard equals 27 cubic feet and covers about 162 sq ft at 2" depth, 108 sq ft at 3" depth, 81 sq ft at 4" depth, and 54 sq ft at 6" depth. Coverage changes with how compacted the gravel is and the type of stone used. Use these numbers to estimate material needs before getting a precise quote.
For 1,000 sq ft, you need about 6.2 cubic yards at 2" depth and about 9.3 cubic yards at 3" depth. With typical local prices of roughly $45 to $90 per cubic yard delivered in the Hemet area, material cost will commonly fall between $280 and $840 before any extra fees. Final price depends on the gravel type, local supplier rates, and whether delivery is included or has a fee.
The most cost-effective option in Hemet is to order common base or recycled crushed materials in the minimum bulk quantity (Hello Gravel minimum is 3 tons) and choose standard delivery timing. Recycled crushed concrete or crusher-run/base gravel is usually less expensive than decorative rock. Compare quotes from local suppliers and avoid rush delivery to keep costs down.
Cost depends on width and depth; for example, a 20 ft long by 10 ft wide driveway at 3" depth needs about 1.85 cubic yards. At $45 to $90 per cubic yard delivered, expect material costs around $85 to $165, but most suppliers have minimums and there may be delivery fees or base preparation costs. For a typical full-size driveway (20 ft wide by 20-40 ft long) costs scale up and often include base work and compaction, so request a site-specific quote.
Two inches is generally too thin for a driveway in Hemet. We recommend at least 4 to 6 inches of compacted base gravel for vehicle traffic, with an additional 2 to 3 inches of top decorative gravel if desired. Hemet's seasonal wash and occasional heavy rains mean a solid, well-compacted base and proper drainage are important to avoid rutting and washouts.
A 10x10 area (100 sq ft) requires about 0.62 cubic yards at 2" depth, 0.93 cubic yards at 3" and 1.23 cubic yards at 4". Given typical local delivered prices of $45 to $90 per cubic yard, material cost for a 3" layer would be roughly $42 to $84, but Hello Gravel has a minimum order (3 tons) that may exceed this small need, so check options for purchasing the small quantity or combining orders with neighbors.
A 20x20 driveway is 400 sq ft and needs about 2.5 cubic yards at 2" depth, 3.7 cubic yards at 3" depth, or 4.9 cubic yards at 4" depth. Material costs at $45 to $90 per cubic yard typically range from about $110 to $440 depending on depth and material selected, plus any delivery, grading, or compaction fees. For driveways, also budget for base preparation and drainage to get a durable result in Hemet's climate.
In the Hemet area, the least expensive options are usually recycled crushed concrete, crusher-run (also called base gravel), or locally sourced 3/4" minus. These materials compact well and are less costly than decorative river rock or washed pea gravel. Regional availability affects price, so ask for local options when ordering through Hello Gravel.
A 7x14 dump trailer typically carries about 5 to 7 cubic yards depending on how high it is loaded; a standard pickup bed usually holds roughly 1 to 2 cubic yards heaped. Hello Gravel's deliveries are made by commercial dump trucks with a minimum order of 3 tons, and many suppliers can deliver small loads, but availability for trailer-sized loads varies by supplier—contact us to confirm if a delivery can match your trailer capacity or if you need a different delivery option.
Because Hello Gravel sources materials locally, gravel color and texture reflect Hemet's regional geology and can vary from batch to batch. Photos give a general idea, but exact matches are not guaranteed; add color preferences in Order Notes and we will do our best to accommodate them. If appearance is critical, request a sample or ask for specific supplier details before ordering.
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.
