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.
Walkway Gravel
A smaller ⅜” crushed stone that is great for paths, patios, and garden walkways. Comfortable under foot thanks to its smaller size, and creates a beautiful garden-like atmosphere.
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.
Driveway Gravel
A ¾”-1” clean, crushed stone ideal for rejuvenating worn down gravel driveways, or for installing a fresh new driveway on your property. Aesthetically pleasing and functional!

Why La Puente Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
La Puente has a city population of 98,894 and sits within a metro area of 2.7+ million. The community is growing at 1.00% annually and benefits from a temperate Southern California climate—about 228 sunny days per year, roughly 34.25 inches of annual rainfall, and USDA hardiness zone 8b. That combination of sun and seasonal rain drives steady demand for outdoor work: homeowners and contractors here frequently repair driveways, upgrade landscaping for lower maintenance, and improve drainage to protect yards and foundations. Gravel is a common choice because it offers durable surfaces for vehicle traffic, promotes infiltration to prevent pooling, and requires less upkeep than loose soil or turf. Local buyers often prioritize consistent sizing, proper compaction, and materials that perform in both dry heat and occasional wet weather—needs Hello Gravel helps address by connecting you to vetted local suppliers and haulers.Popular Projects in La Puente This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - La Puente gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in La Puente.
Hello Gravel requires a 3-ton minimum for most deliveries. In La Puente, typical delivered prices for common gravels run roughly $40 to $90 per ton; decorative or specialty gravels can range higher, often $70 to $120 per ton. Final price depends on material type, delivery distance, and access; ask for a local quote to see exact pricing and any delivery fees or next-day charges.
For driveways, 3/4" crushed stone or crushed rock with fines compacts well and resists rutting in La Puente’s hot, dry conditions. Decomposed granite (DG) is attractive for pathways and low‑traffic driveways but may need a stabilizer for heavy use. Pea gravel and river rock look nice for paths and accents but shift more under vehicle traffic and are better when contained with solid edging.
Use this quick method: tons = area(ft2) * depth(in) / 324 * 1.4 (density). Examples: a 10'x10' patio at 2" needs about 0.9 tons (still below Hello Gravel’s 3-ton minimum). A 20'x30' driveway at 4" needs about 10.4 tons (round up to 11 tons), and a 20'x40' driveway at 4" needs about 13.8 tons (round up to 14 tons). Always round up and add 5-10% for compaction and grade.
Contractor-installed gravel driveways in the La Puente area commonly run about $2.50 to $7.00 per square foot depending on site prep and materials. Lower end covers basic spreading and compaction; higher end includes grading, geotextile fabric, quality base rock, and durable edging. Get multiple local bids because driveway slope, access, and required hauling can change labor and equipment costs.
Yes—Hello Gravel connects you with local suppliers and haulers that deliver decorative and bulk gravels in the La Puente area. Expect price ranges roughly $40 to $120 per ton depending on material and color; delivery may be included in many ZIP codes but always confirm in checkout. Because materials are regionally sourced, color and texture will reflect local geology, so ask for photos or samples when possible.
Gravel is a good permeable surface and generally provides excellent drainage in La Puente’s dry climate. On slopes, you should use geotextile fabric, a compacted base layer, and edging or terraces to prevent migration and erosion; additional crushed base material is usually recommended for slopes to create a stable, draining platform. If stormwater runoff is a concern, consult local grading rules and consider a drainage plan.
Crushed rock used on driveways and pathways can last many years—often 7 to 15 years—before significant replenishment is needed, depending on traffic and maintenance. Pea gravel and loose river rock tend to shift and thin faster and may need top-ups every 2 to 5 years in high‑traffic areas. Regular raking, occasional top-up, and proper edging extend the life of any gravel surface.
Gravel is generally the lowest upfront material and installation cost compared with asphalt and pavers, but it requires periodic maintenance like regrading and topping. Asphalt has higher initial cost but less frequent upkeep, while pavers cost the most upfront and require some upkeep for settling and weeds. Decomposed granite is midrange in cost and attractive for low-traffic drives but may need stabilizers and more frequent attention in rain or heavy-use situations.
Local HOAs and the City of La Puente can have rules about driveway materials, visible front-yard surfacing, and stormwater/ drainage requirements. Before ordering, check your HOA covenants and call La Puente planning or code enforcement to confirm permitted materials, permitted slopes, and any curb-cut or stormwater rules. Hello Gravel recommends confirming regulations because restrictions vary block-by-block.
Use a good-quality nonwoven geotextile fabric beneath gravel to reduce weed growth, and combine it with a pre-emergent herbicide applied in early spring for best results. Durable edging options like metal, concrete, or treated timber keep gravel contained and minimize migration; plastic edging is cheaper but may float or fail over time. Regular maintenance—raking, spot-weeding, and topping with fresh gravel—keeps beds neat in La Puente’s hot, dry conditions.

The minimum order size is 3 tons.
