Why Hermosa Beach Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Hermosa Beach, a coastal city with a population of 16,390, sits inside a broader West California metro area of 2.7+ million residents and is experiencing steady demand for home improvements as it grows at a rate of 0.40% annually. Its compact lots, beachfront setting, and temperate conditions mean homeowners and contractors frequently need aggregates for drainage upgrades, permeable walkways, driveway repairs, and decorative landscaping that withstands salt air and sandy soils. The combination of limited space and a focus on low‑maintenance, resilient yards drives interest in quality gravel that balances appearance with functional performance for erosion control and curb appeal.Popular Projects in Hermosa Beach This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Hermosa Beach gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in Hermosa Beach.
A typical tri-axle dump truck for gravel holds about 10–14 tons, but exact capacity varies by truck and material. In Hermosa Beach, delivered truckload costs typically range from about $400 to $1,200 depending on material type, local availability, and site access. Hello Gravel requires a 3-ton minimum and provides exact pricing and delivery details in your quote.
No — crushed stone is mechanically crushed rock and tends to be angular, while gravel is naturally rounded from water or glacial action. Both work for driveways and landscaping, but crushed stone locks together better for driveways and paths, while rounded gravel is easier on bare feet and more likely to shift.
Locally, crushed stone is often a bit cheaper because it comes straight from quarries and is produced in large volumes. Prices can flip based on local supply or specialty colors, so getting a Hello Gravel quote for your address is the best way to know which is cheaper for your project.
Delivered prices in Hermosa Beach commonly run between about $45 and $100 per ton depending on the material, color, and delivery constraints. Coastal deliveries can be higher if truck access is tight or permits are required, so contact Hello Gravel for a specific quote for your property.
Coverage depends on depth. Using a typical density (about 1.4 tons per cubic yard), 1 ton covers roughly 231 sq ft at 1" depth, 116 sq ft at 2" depth, and 77 sq ft at 3" depth. Use these figures to estimate tonnage for walkways, patios, or driveways in Hermosa Beach.
One cubic yard of common gravel/crushed stone typically weighs about 1.2 to 1.6 tons, with 1.4 tons/yd3 a common rule of thumb. Actual weight varies by rock type and moisture content, so use 1.4 tons/yd3 for planning and check with your Hello Gravel quote for exact numbers.
At a 2" finish depth, 1,000 sq ft requires about 8.5–9.0 tons of material. Using a delivery price range of $45–$100 per ton, material and delivery would run roughly $385–$900, not including site prep, spreading, or permit fees. For a firm number, get a full quote from Hello Gravel that includes delivery logistics in Hermosa Beach.
A 20x20 driveway is 400 sq ft; at 2" depth it needs about 3.5 tons of material (above our 3-ton minimum). Material and delivery typically cost about $160–$350 for that tonnage, though total installed costs including base prep and spreading can push the price higher. Ask Hello Gravel for a tailored quote and let us know if you want the driver to attempt tailgate spreading (no guarantee).
Two inches is usually too thin for a driveway that will see vehicle traffic; it may work for a decorative topping on a well-prepared base. For a usable driveway, plan on 3–4 inches of compacted gravel for light vehicles and 4–6 inches for regular vehicle use, plus a compacted base layer and edging to prevent migration, especially in coastal sand conditions.
Yes — many homeowners install gravel themselves. Key steps are calculating quantities, preparing and compacting a stable base, installing edging and geotextile fabric, spreading material evenly, and compacting. Also plan for truck access and possible local parking or delivery permits in Hermosa Beach; request tailgate spreading at checkout but expect the driver to decide if it is safe to perform.
Buying in bulk from local suppliers through Hello Gravel is usually the most cost-effective route, since bags are much more expensive per ton. Pick commonly available materials, schedule deliveries when access is easiest, and order full truckloads to lower per-ton freight and handling costs.
Yes — crushed stone drains well when it is free of fine material. If the mix contains a lot of fines or is compacted into a dense base, drainage is reduced. With Hermosa Beach's coastal soils you generally get good drainage, but consider local stormwater rules and edge containment to avoid washout.
Products marketed as polymeric or stabilized gravel (resin-bound, polymeric sand, or aggregate with a binder) harden and lock together more like a solid surface. These systems cost more than loose gravel and reduce permeability, so they are good for patios or low-maintenance paths but have tradeoffs for drainage and cost in Hermosa Beach.
Crushed stone can shift and migrate without proper edging, produce dust, and be uncomfortable for bare feet. It may require periodic top-ups, can be noisy under vehicle tires, and sharp angular pieces can be harder on tires than rounded gravel. In coastal Hermosa Beach conditions, expect more frequent maintenance from wind-driven sand and salt exposure.
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.
