Compost
Premium compost packed with organic nutrients—perfect for revitalizing tired soil and supporting strong, healthy plant growth. Ideal for mixing into garden beds, raised beds, and landscapes needing a natural boost.
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.
Drain Rock
A larger 1 ½” crushed gravel that allows for water flow and drainage, preventing accumulation and pooling when properly installed. Perfect for french drains and other drainage applications, around utility lines, septic systems, sump pump basins and drainage pits.
3/8″ Crushed Stone
(#89 Stone) A smaller crushed stone perfect for walkways and more decorative applications. Pathways will come to life with garden-like aesthetics and be comfortable under foot. Also suitable for various groundcover applications, as an underlayment for patio paver and turf projects, for playground surfacing and for filling gaps between larger stones.
#57 Crushed Stone
Multi-use crushed stone for home & landscape projects. Ranging from ¾” to 1” in size, #57 stone is a versatile product used for concrete production, drainage applications, driveways, parking lots, and as base material under slabs and footings. Large enough to provide drainage but small enough to lock together when applied and create a stable base and a relatively smooth surface.

Why Irvine Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Irvine has a population of 260,007 and sits inside a larger metro region of 1.8+ million people, a context that supports steady construction and homeowner investment. At a measured growth rate of 0.40% annually, development in the area is moderate but persistent, which translates to ongoing demand for renovation, outdoor living upgrades, and small-scale construction projects. The local climate—about 228 sunny days per year and 34.25 inches of rainfall—combined with USDA hardiness zone 8b means homeowners balance long, sun-dominant periods with seasonal storms. That mix increases the need for a range of bulk materials: durable surfacing for sun exposure, drainage-grade aggregates where water concentrates, soil blends for drought-tolerant plantings, and erosion-control supplies for slopes. Contractors and DIYers in Irvine prioritize materials that perform across dry and wet cycles, are easy to source locally, and reduce maintenance over time.Popular Projects in Irvine This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Irvine Gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in Irvine.
Price varies by material and local supplier, but dump-truck deliveries for bulk orders depend on quantity, distance, and material type. Hello Gravel provides upfront pricing during checkout for gravel, sand, dirt, stone and other aggregates; check your zip code and select a delivery date to see exact costs. Minimum orders start at 3 tons, and delivery fees or discounts depend on your location and the supplier.
Buying bulk is usually more cost-effective for medium to large projects because you pay per ton or yard instead of per bag. Bulk ordering reduces packaging and handling costs for materials like gravel, sand, dirt, stone, and mulch, but consider storage space and how quickly you can use the material to avoid degradation.
Most materials are sold by the ton or by the cubic yard depending on local practice and the supplier. Use a material's product page for the exact unit; Hello Gravel shows both tons and yards when available and includes conversion guidance for common aggregates.
Measure the area (length x width) and decide the desired depth, then divide cubic feet by 27 to get cubic yards. Multiply cubic yards by the material's typical weight (many aggregates range roughly 1.2 to 1.6 tons per cubic yard) or use Hello Gravel's material calculator for a tailored estimate.
The 3-3-3 rule (3 inches of mulch depth, 3 feet away from tree trunks, and 3-inch berm base) is a simple guideline for mulch depth and placement to protect plants. While specific depths vary by material and use, similar depth rules apply for other materials (for example, base stone under pavers or sand for leveling), so check recommended depths for each application before ordering.
For very small or immediate needs, bags offer convenience and are easy to handle; for anything larger than a few wheelbarrows, bulk by the yard is generally more economical. Bulk delivery is better for larger beds or grading work in Irvine, while bags can be handy for tight urban sites or staged delivery.
Coverage depends on material type and desired depth; as a rough guide, one cubic yard typically covers about 100 square feet at a 3-inch depth. Because material density varies, one ton may cover more or less area than one yard; use the product coverage details on Hello Gravel or the material calculator for accurate coverage for gravel, sand, dirt, stone, and mulch.
Most standard pickup trucks cannot safely carry a full cubic yard of heavy aggregate without overloading the bed or axles. For safe transport and larger quantities, order a dump-truck delivery through Hello Gravel, which handles tri-axle trucks and larger loads to avoid vehicle damage.
In many cases you can add a fresh layer over older material, but first check the condition — remove any compacted, moldy, or weed-infested layers. For structural applications (like base rock under pavers) it is usually better to remove and replace rather than layer; contact our team for guidance specific to your material and project.
Irvine's mild climate allows year-round deliveries, but plan around peak landscaping seasons to ensure availability and preferred delivery windows. Standard delivery takes 2+ business days and next-day delivery is available for orders placed before noon CST for an additional fee; order earlier for spring and fall peak times to secure your date.
Multiply length x width x depth in feet: 7 x 14 x 2 = 196 cubic feet, then divide by 27 to convert to cubic yards, which equals about 7.26 cubic yards. Use that result to estimate tons or order directly in yards on Hello Gravel's checkout.
Prices vary by material, region, and supplier, so there's no single market price; Hello Gravel displays local pricing after you enter your zip code. Expect variation due to regional sourcing, delivery distance, and seasonal demand; use the site to get an exact quote for gravel, sand, dirt, stone, or mulch.
Bagged materials can be useful for small jobs, spot repairs, or when storage is limited, but bulk delivery is usually more economical and faster for larger projects. Consider labor to move bags, site access for dump trucks, and material freshness when choosing between bags and bulk; contact Hello Gravel if you need help deciding.
Contact Hello Gravel as soon as possible — we will do our best to accommodate changes before the order is processed or dispatched. Changes after dispatch depend on the supplier and hauler; review order notes and contact customer service for guidance and next steps.
As of today, we require 2 business days for delivery.

The material will be delivered via dump truck. If your order is under 20 tons, then it will likely be just one dump truck load. If your order is more than 20 tons, it will be more than one dump truck load.

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.
Hassle Free! Our goal is to make the buying process for gravel and other aggregates as easy and seamless as possible. Enter your zip code on our site, select how much material you need (see below FAQ’s to determine order size), select the date and time frame you would like your material delivered at Checkout, and place your order with any major credit card. After the order is placed our in-house support team will contact you to confirm the details. We will send additional confirmations on the day before and the day of delivery. On delivery day, a dump truck will arrive to dump the materials at your specified location. We request that you have someone available to accept the delivery so that we can make sure to dump it in the correct location. That’s it!
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!
