Why Lake View Terrace Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Lake View Terrace is home to 993,588 residents and sits within a metro region that continues to expand at 0.40% annually. The local climate — hardiness zone 8b with 228/year of sunshine and 34.25 inches of annual rainfall — encourages outdoor living, drought-tolerant planting, and steady upkeep of driveways, walkways, and drainage systems. That steady growth and favorable weather support ongoing home improvement and landscaping projects, increasing demand for reliable bulk materials. Homeowners often seek quality aggregates to stabilize paths, improve drainage during seasonal storms, create low-maintenance surfaces, and protect soil from erosion under prolonged sun exposure.Popular Projects in Lake View Terrace This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Lake View Terrace gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in Lake View Terrace.
You can buy driveway-grade gravel from local landscape supply yards, regional quarries, big-box stores, or through Hello Gravel which connects you with nearby suppliers and delivery. Typical prices in the Los Angeles area vary by type and color, roughly $35 to $80 per cubic yard delivered, with heavier or specialty decorative gravels on the higher end; prices vary by supplier and distance. Keep in mind 1 cubic yard of gravel generally weighs about 1.3 to 1.5 tons, and Hello Gravel has a 3-ton minimum order.
For drought-tolerant landscaping, decomposed granite, pea gravel, and small crushed rock are popular because they look natural and allow water infiltration. For sloped driveways and erosion control, use angular crushed rock (3/4" to 1") or larger riprap for steep runs, and combine with terraces, edging, and geotextile fabric to hold material in place. Regional colors and rock availability can vary, so ask suppliers for local recommendations.
Measure length x width x desired depth (in feet), then divide by 27 to get cubic yards (for example, a 1-car driveway 10' x 20' at 4" deep = 10x20x0.33/27 = about 2.4 cubic yards). Convert cubic yards to tons by multiplying by about 1.3–1.5 depending on the material. Hello Gravel’s online calculator and sales team can help estimate quantities and factor in base vs top layers; remember the 3-ton minimum for orders.
Most local suppliers and contractors will deliver to Lake View Terrace and nearby Sylmar; Hello Gravel coordinates delivery from local haulers. Standard delivery timing is generally 2+ business days, while next-day delivery is available for orders placed before noon CST for an extra fee; local suppliers may quote shorter or longer lead times depending on inventory. Tailgate spreading can sometimes be requested but is performed at the driver’s discretion and is not guaranteed; delivery fees depend on distance, truck access, and order size.
Yes. Lake View Terrace is in Los Angeles County and subject to City/County and Los Angeles Fire Department rules about defensible space, brush clearance, and driveway access standards in some neighborhoods. HOAs may also have rules on materials, colors, and permeable surfaces, so check your HOA guidelines and contact the LA County/City planning or fire department before changing major landscape or driveway surfaces. If a driveway alters grading or runoff, you may need permits or to follow stormwater rules.
For erosion-prone slopes use larger, angular rock (1" to 2" or larger) and graded layers: larger rock at the top and smaller, compactable material lower down for stabilization. Use geotextile fabric, terraces, swales, and proper drainage to direct water; edging or stone containment prevents material migration. For driveways and paths, compact a crushed base (4"–6") with a plate compactor and add a compactable top layer (3/4" minus) to lock material in place.
Costs vary with scope, but homeowners in the San Fernando Valley commonly see total installed costs (removal, base prep, material, and installation) roughly in the range of $2 to $6 per square foot. Removing existing lawn or concrete and disposal will add to that cost; contractors may charge per ton, per hour, or per truck for removal and haul-away. Get multiple written quotes and confirm whether compaction, weed barrier, edging, and grading are included.
Many local suppliers and Hello Gravel partners provide small samples or photos on request so you can check color and texture before ordering. Popular choices in Lake View Terrace xeriscaping include decomposed granite, tan/buff pea gravel, crushed basalt or granite mixes, and river rock for accents; expect natural variation due to regional sourcing. Add color preferences in your order notes and ask for samples if color is important to your design.
Yes, many contractors offer demo and removal services before gravel delivery, including sod, asphalt, and small concrete slabs; larger demolition may require specialized crews. Disposal fees depend on material type and weight, landfill rates, and truckload size; expect contractors to quote removal by hour, by ton, or per truckload. Discuss removal and disposal when requesting a quote so material delivery, timing, and costs are coordinated.
Most suppliers and haulers sell material only, while some contractors offer installation warranties or follow-up services like regrading, topping, and periodic deliveries. Maintenance best practices include annual topping to replace loss from traffic and weather, periodic raking and regrading, weed control, and checking drainage and edging after heavy rains. Contact Hello Gravel or your installer to ask about available follow-up deliveries and service agreements; any warranty or maintenance promise should be confirmed in writing.
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.
