Why Joshua Tree Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Joshua Tree has a city population of 5,050 and sits inside a broader metro area population of 2.5+ million, and its measured growth rate of 0.40% annually is driving steady demand for practical, low-maintenance landscaping and site work. With a semi-arid climate, 228 sunny days per year, and an annual rainfall of 34.25 inches, homeowners here favor materials that stand up to intense sun, handle occasional heavy rainfall, and cut down on ongoing upkeep. Gravel is a go-to choice for local projects like driveways, pathways, RV pads, drainage swales, and xeriscape beds because it reduces erosion, improves permeability, and works with native plantings that suit hardiness zone 8b conditions.Popular Projects in Joshua Tree This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Joshua Tree gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in Joshua Tree.
Common regional options include decomposed granite (DG) screenings, 3/8" to 3/4" crushed stone, 3/4" to 1" crusher run, and larger river rock (1"+). Appearance ranges from tan and pinkish desert tones to gray crushed rock, reflecting local geology. Suppliers in the Joshua Tree area may use slightly different names, so check photos and ask for size by fraction of an inch when ordering.
Crushed, angular gravel such as 3/4" to 1" crusher run or compactable crusher fines works best for driveways because it locks together under weight and resists rutting. Add a compacted base and edge restraint to prevent spread, and consider a stabilizer or polymer-bound option if you want less dust and movement. Local sandy soils and rare heavy rains mean good compaction and drainage are especially important here.
Use our online material calculator for the most accurate estimate, but a quick rule is 1 ton of gravel equals about 20 cubic feet. That covers approximately 240 sq ft at 1" depth or about 80 sq ft at 3" depth. For driveways or pads plan 3" to 6" depth depending on traffic; for paths and mulch replacement 1" to 2" is common.
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.
