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 Huntington Beach Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
With a city population of 169,113, Huntington Beach sits inside the larger Los Angeles-Long Beach metro area of 2.5+ million and sees steady development with a growth rate of 0.40% annually. The city’s coastal setting and favorable gardening conditions — 228 sunny days a year, 34.25 inches of annual rainfall, and hardiness zone 8b — drive frequent landscaping, hardscaping, and repair projects that need durable aggregates. Homeowners replacing thirsty lawns with low-maintenance yards, creating permeable driveways, or stabilizing sandy slopes all require gravel that balances drainage, compaction, and appearance. Because local geology affects color and texture, many Huntington Beach residents choose regionally sourced gravel to ensure proper performance under coastal sun, periodic storms, and sandy soils.Popular Projects in Huntington Beach This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Huntington Beach gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in Huntington Beach.
A typical tri-axle dump truck used by local haulers carries about 10 to 16 cubic yards of material, which translates roughly to 8 to 20 tons depending on gravel type and moisture. Pricing varies by material, quantity, and delivery location in Huntington Beach, so the best way to know cost is to request a quote through Hello Gravel. We coordinate local trucks and can confirm exact truck capacity and pricing for your job.
Quantity depends on the depth you want: at 1" you need about 3.09 cubic yards (≈4.3 tons), at 2" about 6.17 cubic yards (≈8.6 tons), and at 3" about 9.26 cubic yards (≈13.0 tons). These are approximate values using a regional density estimate; actual tons can vary with material. Use our material calculator or get a Hello Gravel quote to fine-tune quantities for your Huntington Beach project.
Coverage depends on depth: one ton covers roughly 80–100 sq ft at 1" depth, about 40–50 sq ft at 2" depth, and 25–35 sq ft at 3" depth. Exact coverage varies by gravel type and compaction. For small jobs in Huntington Beach, remember Hello Gravel has a 3-ton minimum order.
Buying in bulk from a local supplier and avoiding specialty decorative gravels usually gives the best price per ton. Use Hello Gravel to compare nearby suppliers and delivery fees—ordering the minimum 3 tons or more typically reduces per-ton cost. Recycled concrete or crusher-run are commonly the most budget-friendly options, but check local availability and delivery charges.
For a 20 ft long by 10 ft wide driveway at 2" depth you would need about 1.23 cubic yards (≈1.7 tons), but that is under Hello Gravel's 3-ton minimum. Material-only quantity is small, but total cost depends on material type, delivery, and any spreading service. Request a quote so we can show material options and delivery cost for your Huntington Beach address.
Two inches of gravel may work as a decorative top layer but is not enough alone to support vehicle traffic long-term. A proper driveway typically has a compacted base (4–6" of crushed rock or base material) with a 1–2" top layer of finish gravel. In Huntington Beach, good drainage and a solid base are important to prevent washout during winter storms.
For a 10x10 (100 sq ft) area, you need about 0.31 cubic yards (≈0.43 tons) at 1" depth, 0.62 cubic yards (≈0.86 tons) at 2" depth, and 0.93 cubic yards (≈1.3 tons) at 3" depth. These are approximate numbers; Hello Gravel's minimum order is 3 tons, so small projects may be more cost-effective with bags or a local pickup. Contact us for options and local supplier suggestions in Huntington Beach.
Recycled concrete, crusher-run, or local base rock are usually the least expensive driveway materials because they are widely available and often sourced regionally. These materials compact well and form a stable base, which can reduce long‑term maintenance in Huntington Beach's coastal conditions. If appearance matters, you can add a thinner topcoat of a nicer decorative gravel on top of a cheaper compacted base.
A 20x20 driveway is 400 sq ft: at 2" depth you need about 2.47 cubic yards (≈3.5 tons), and at 3" depth about 3.70 cubic yards (≈5.2 tons). That 2" example meets Hello Gravel's 3-ton minimum, so you can order direct; exact tons vary with material density. Request a quote for material choices and delivery to your Huntington Beach address to get a precise price.
With proper base preparation and periodic maintenance (regrading and topping up), a gravel surface can perform well for 5–20 years depending on traffic and weather. Coastal storms and concentrated runoff can cause washouts, so plan for occasional replenishment every few years. Regular maintenance—recompacting and adding gravel—extends lifespan and keeps drainage working in Huntington Beach's climate.
A 7x14 dump trailer will generally hold between about 3.5 and 7 cubic yards of gravel depending on side height and how high you load it. Volume is easy to estimate: trailer footprint (7 ft x 14 ft) times load height in feet, divided by 27 for cubic yards. Keep in mind weight limits mean you may reach the trailer's weight capacity before its full volume when hauling dense gravels.
If you mean covering a 1,000 sq ft footprint, quantities match our standard chart: at 1" depth about 3.09 cubic yards (≈4.3 tons), 2" about 6.17 cubic yards (≈8.6 tons), and 3" about 9.26 cubic yards (≈13.0 tons). Clarify whether you need a finish layer or a structural base, because a base will require significantly more depth. Use Hello Gravel's calculator or request a quote for precise material and delivery planning in Huntington Beach.
Suppliers typically quote gravel either per cubic yard or per ton; the choice depends on the local supplier and material type. In Huntington Beach, local hauling costs, material type, and minimum order (Hello Gravel minimum is 3 tons) influence whether you see per-yard or per-ton pricing. Request a quote through Hello Gravel and we will show both measures and the total delivered price.
Lower-cost alternatives include crushed recycled concrete, crusher fines, and decomposed granite, which can provide a compacted surface at a lower price than some decorative gravels. Permeable pavers or compacted crusher-run are other durable options, but aesthetics and drainage differ from loose gravel. Check local availability and maintenance needs for Huntington Beach conditions before choosing an alternative.
For driveways, an angular crushed rock (3/4" minus or crusher-run) that compacts well is usually the best choice for stability and drainage, with a thin topcoat of decorative gravel if you want a finished look. Avoid smooth river rock for driving surfaces because it shifts under tires. Choose materials sourced locally so they match regional weather and drainage expectations in Huntington Beach, and ask Hello Gravel for samples and supplier recommendations.
Expect regional variation in color and texture because suppliers source locally, and avoid collecting sand from beaches—local regulations and environmental rules typically prohibit that. Plan for drainage: coastal run-off and winter storms can move gravel, so include proper grading and edging in your project. Use Hello Gravel to check availability, order the minimum 3 tons, select delivery date, and request tailgate spreading at checkout (driver will assess on arrival).
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.

No, because we are a national supplier, we utilize our existing network of suppliers across the country. Therefore, the materials will likely be delivered from a contracted trucking company.
We specialize in making the aggregate buying process as easy and seamless as possible by managing the process from end to end. We have a network of suppliers that we source the materials from where we have negotiated rates.
