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.
Mason Sand
A fine, clean sand for construction and masonry. Use it under pavers or turf, mix it into mortar or soil, or spread it across your lawn to smooth out bumps and low spots in your lawn.
Topsoil
High-grade soil enriched with organic matter. Perfect for landscaping, lawn establishment and repair, and for improving existing soil.
Fulfillment:
Should never be fulfilled with material that does not include an organic component, though organic components should be small.
2-10% organic is ideal
3/4″ Crushed Stone
A reliable, clean ¾” crushed granite or limestone with many applications. Great for gravel driveways, concrete mixes, landscaping applications, and backfilling retaining walls or around foundations.

Why Imperial Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Imperial, with a population of 23,710, sits in a region where steady demographic growth (0.40% annually) translates into measured but persistent demand for home improvement and small-scale construction. That steady growth typically means ongoing projects rather than sudden booms: homeowners replace aging driveways, upgrade landscapes, and add functional outdoor living spaces as neighborhoods incrementally modernize. Imperial’s climate—about 204 sunny days a year combined with 49.77 inches of annual rainfall and a USDA hardiness zone of 9a—creates a mix of needs. Materials must handle extended sun exposure without breaking down while also managing significant seasonal moisture. For homeowners that means choosing a balance of durable surfacing, good drainage aggregates, soil amendments, and protective mulches. Across residential projects, quality bulk materials such as gravels, sands, soils, and mulches support lasting patios, reliable drainage swales, and lower-maintenance planting beds that perform in local conditions.Popular Projects in Imperial This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Imperial Gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in Imperial.
Start by matching material function to your project: think drainage, compaction, appearance, or weed control. Consider local climate and soil—Imperial's hot, arid conditions favor materials that resist breakdown and allow drainage. Use our material quiz or contact our team for recommendations for gravel, sand, dirt, stone and mixes that suit your use and budget.
Imperial's hot, dry climate and strong sun can cause lighter materials to fade and finer materials to dry out and blow away. Choose materials that lock together for driveways or that are coarse enough for stable drainage. Also consider local soil salinity and dust—ask suppliers about regional mixes used successfully nearby.
For driveways choose materials that compact and resist rutting; for walkways and patios prioritize smooth, stable surfaces that are comfortable to walk on. Permeable options help with drainage, while coarser mixes reduce dust in dry weather. Ask for local examples since regional mixes reflect nearby geology and performance.
Measure the area (length x width) and desired depth, then convert cubic feet to cubic yards and to tons using a simple calculator or our online estimator. Different materials have different densities, so using our calculator or talking to our team will give the most accurate ton estimate. We also provide guidance on waste allowance and compaction to avoid running short.
Standard delivery is typically 2+ business days from order confirmation, and a next-day option is available for orders placed before noon CST for an extra fee. Deliveries are by local contracted dump trucks; you choose a delivery date during checkout and receive confirmation before dispatch. Keep in mind driver access and site readiness can affect timing.
Most deliveries use tri-axle dump trucks, so ensure a clear truck path, enough turning room, and a stable surface for the truck to stop. Flag any obstacles, overhead wires, gates, or soft ground in the Order Notes. If access is limited, discuss smaller truck or offload options with our team before delivery.
Yes—many driveways, front-yard landscapes, and visible changes are subject to HOA rules or local city permits. Check with the City of Imperial or your HOA before ordering to confirm allowed materials, color limits, and setbacks. We can help by noting delivery details, but permit compliance is the customer's responsibility.
Imperial's warm, dry seasons are generally good for deliveries and compacting materials, while rare rainy periods can make sites muddy and delay work. Schedule deliveries for dry days when possible and allow extra lead time during busy landscaping seasons. If weather threatens the delivery window, contact our team as soon as possible to reschedule.
Materials are sourced regionally, so texture, color, and particle shape can vary from photos or samples. Variations are normal and reflect local geology; if color or size is important, add notes at checkout or request a local sample. Contact customer service if you receive material that seems inconsistent with your order and we will review options.
Drivers may offer tailgate spreading at their discretion, but this is not guaranteed and depends on site safety and local regulations. You can request spreading at checkout, and the driver will assess feasibility on arrival. For precise grading, plan to hire a landscaper or contractor for spreading and compaction.
Contractors should verify existing soil conditions, slope, and drainage patterns before ordering materials to determine quantities and appropriate mixes. Include erosion control measures for slopes and storm events, especially in areas with runoff toward streets or neighboring properties. Communicate delivery timing and access needs clearly so materials arrive when crews are ready to install.
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. However, we do charge a markup and because of this you may be able to find the materials cheaper on your own. But if you want a hassle free experience, then we are for you!
