2-10% organic is ideal
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.
Brown Shredded Mulch
Shredded bark and wood from trees like oak, hickory, and maple, used for landscaping and gardening applications. Provides moisture retention in your soil, weed suppression, temperature regulation for plants, and the gradual addition of organic matter as it decomposes slowly over time. Adds a beautiful, finished look to your home’s exterior.
Crushed Concrete
Recycled concrete aggregate for construction & landscaping. Often used for road base and sub-base applications, as fill material, and for erosion control. Typically 1 ½” down to fines.

Why Manhattan Beach Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Manhattan Beach homeowners are balancing steady, incremental change with ongoing property upkeep. With a city population of 32,638 and a regional metro area serving 7.9+ million people, the local housing and landscaping market sees reliable, predictable demand rather than boom-level spikes. A 0.40% annual growth rate means most projects are maintenance, reinvestment, or modest expansion rather than rapid new development—so homeowners and contractors prioritize durable, long-lasting solutions. Local climate and geography—about 204 sunny days per year and 49.77 inches of annual rainfall in a USDA hardiness zone 9a—mean materials must perform for both sun exposure and heavy wet-season events. That creates a common need for well-draining soils, stable aggregates for slopes and pathways, sun-stable mulches and surfacing, and mixes that tolerate salt and coastal weather. For projects ranging from low-maintenance yards to patio foundations, quality bulk materials reduce rework and help landscapes age gracefully in this environment. Local conditions in Manhattan Beach create practical constraints that should guide material choices. Coastal soils and seasonal rainfall cycles affect compaction, erosion risk, and plant nutrition, while long stretches of sun increase the importance of UV-stable finishes and moisture-retaining products. Homeowners should consider how drainage, salt exposure, and soil amendment interact: some materials break down faster near the coast, while others improve stability and plant success. Hello Gravel helps by connecting you to local suppliers who understand these performance trade-offs, offering calculators and scheduling tools to align deliveries with project timelines and local weather considerations.Popular Projects in Manhattan Beach This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Manhattan Beach Gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in Manhattan Beach.
Delivery costs depend on quantity, material type, truck access, and distance from the supplier to zip code 90266. Additional factors include site access restrictions, permit or street-parking requirements, and requested services like next-day delivery or tailgate spreading. Hello Gravel provides transparent quotes so you can compare costs before ordering.
Hello Gravel matches you with trusted local suppliers and haulers that service Manhattan Beach once you enter your zip code on our site. You can view available materials, pricing, and delivery dates without contacting multiple vendors, and our team can help with questions or special delivery instructions.
Coastal salt air can accelerate wear on metal components and can affect some decorative materials and organic products over time. Choose salt-tolerant materials and finishes, consider sealed or washed aggregates, and plan for more frequent maintenance or replacement for organic products. Proper drainage and installation also reduce long-term exposure to moisture and salt.
Manhattan Beach often has sandy coastal soils that drain well but can shift under load; you may also encounter imported fill or compacted layers near developments. Test the site or consult a contractor before choosing materials; for unstable soils, use a compacted base, geotextile fabric, or stabilizing aggregates to improve performance and drainage. Proper grading and stormwater control are important to prevent erosion and standing water.
Permits and HOA approvals vary by neighborhood and project scope; small landscaping changes may not need a permit, but driveways, major grading, or curb cuts often do. Check Manhattan Beach municipal codes and any HOA rules before ordering materials, and allow time for approvals to avoid delays. If in doubt, contact our team for guidance on typical local requirements.
Southern California's climate is mild, so deliveries are possible year-round, but winter brings a higher risk of rain and scheduling delays. Summer and spring are typically the busiest seasons, so book early to secure preferred dates. Hello Gravel offers standard 2+ business day delivery and a next-day option for orders placed before noon CST when available.
Contractors measure the project area, set the desired depth, and convert volume to tons using material density to get a quantity estimate. They also factor in compaction, waste, delivery fees, and site access challenges that may require additional handling. Use Hello Gravel's material calculator or consult our team to convert your project dimensions into a clear order quantity and price.
Local factors include slope and grade, proximity to the beach and wind-blown sand, stormwater and runoff rules, and neighborhood aesthetic or HOA guidelines. Steeper slopes may need angular or stabilized aggregates, while stormwater rules may favor permeable surfaces. Discuss site-specific constraints with a contractor or our sales team to pick materials that balance appearance, durability, and compliance.
Deliveries are typically made by tri-axle dump trucks; ensure driveways or streets can accommodate large trucks and note any overhead wires or narrow access points in your order notes. Tailgate spreading may be available at the driver's discretion but is not guaranteed, and the minimum order is 3 tons. Communicate special instructions and allow space for the truck to stage to avoid access problems on delivery day.
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.
