Gravel: Built For High Desert Conditions • Free Early Morning Gravel Delivery
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.

Why Lucerne Valley Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Lucerne Valley is a small but active community of 4,480 residents within a larger metro area of 2.7+ million. With a steady growth rate of 0.40% annually and a climate that averages 228 sunny days and 34.25 inches of annual rainfall in hardiness zone 8b, local homeowners balance long, sun-soaked summers with seasonal rains. Those conditions drive steady demand for durable, well-draining surfacing and landscaping materials. Gravel is often chosen for driveways, pathways, erosion control, and dry-stacked beds because it stands up to sun exposure, sheds water during storm events, and requires less long-term upkeep than turf in arid settings. Local projects also favor regionally sourced aggregates that match the area’s color palette and performance needs.Popular Projects in Lucerne Valley This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Lucerne Valley gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in Lucerne Valley.
Delivery prices vary by material, distance, and order size but you can generally expect delivered gravel in the Lucerne Valley area to run roughly $30 to $80 per ton. Hello Gravel has a 3-ton minimum and standard delivery is usually scheduled 2+ business days after ordering; next-day delivery may be available for an extra fee. Final pricing appears at checkout and depends on supplier, truck access, and any requested services such as tailgate spreading.
For durability and compaction in a hot, dry climate, crushed rock (3/4" minus or similar angular mixes) and stabilized decomposed granite (DG) are commonly recommended. Crushed rock provides a stable, low-maintenance surface for driveways and high-traffic areas, while stabilized DG is good for walkways and patios; river rock and pea gravel are decorative but can shift and create dust if not contained. Consider color and local sourcing because lighter colors reflect heat and materials vary regionally.
Using a common estimate of 1.4 tons per cubic yard, you need about 0.00864 tons per sq ft at 2", 0.01296 tons per sq ft at 3", and 0.01729 tons per sq ft at 4". That translates to roughly 0.86, 1.30, and 1.73 tons per 100 sq ft respectively, or about 8.6, 13, and 17.3 tons per 1,000 sq ft. Order an extra 5-10% for compaction, grading, and waste to be safe.
Yes. San Bernardino County and the nearby Victor Valley and Barstow areas host quarries and pits that supply a range of gravel products, and local suppliers often deliver to Lucerne Valley. Hello Gravel connects you with trusted local suppliers and haulers in your zip code, and we recommend asking the supplier about source, gradation, and whether samples are available before buying.
Permitting requirements vary: many residential projects in unincorporated San Bernardino County do not require a building permit for simple landscaping, but grading, drainage work, or new driveway access off a county road may trigger permits. HOA rules can be stricter and often dictate material, color, and curb treatments, so check your CC&Rs and contact San Bernardino County planning and your HOA before starting work. Also confirm fire access and setback requirements with the local fire department.
Contractors commonly build a 6" to 8" compacted base of crushed aggregate or road base, topped with a 3" to 4" compacted wearing course of 3/4" crushed rock or similar material for high-traffic driveways. Subgrade should be compacted and tested to typical industry standards (around 90-95% of standard proctor), and geotextile fabric is often used on soft soils to improve stability. Proper drainage, edge restraints, and mechanical compaction with a roller or plate compactor are important in the desert climate to resist washout and rutting.
For erosion control on slopes, larger angular rock (1" to 2" or riprap) and properly installed check dams or terraces work well to slow runoff and anchor soil. For dust suppression, fines such as decomposed granite or crusher fines compacted and sometimes treated with a stabilizer or binder reduce dust better than loose, coarse gravel; periodic maintenance and occasional watering or stabilizer reapplication may be needed. Combine hardscape measures with vegetation, contouring, and drainage controls for best long-term erosion and dust performance.
Material-only delivery is often in the range of $30 to $80 per ton depending on type and distance. Installation costs for a basic compacted gravel driveway (including grading, base material, compaction, and surface rock) commonly run about $2 to $6 per sq ft, while more durable builds with deeper base, drainage work, or heavier traffic design can be $6 to $12+ per sq ft. Prices vary with site access, required earthwork, and local labor rates, so get multiple quotes and confirm materials and compaction specs.
As of today, we require 2 business days for delivery.

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.
