Why Mission Hills Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Mission Hills, with a city population of 17,630, sits inside a growing metro that now tops 2.5+ million residents and is expanding at about 1.42% annually. The local climate (Hardiness Zone 8b) brings 228 sunny days each year and a measured 34.25 inches of annual rainfall, creating a mix of sun-driven landscaping needs and occasional heavy showers that test drainage. That steady growth and predictable weather mean more homeowners are investing in durable outdoor projects—driveways, walkways, dry stream beds, and foundation bases—that rely on quality aggregates. Homeowners want materials that perform over time: stable under vehicles, resistant to washout, and low maintenance in Mission Hills’ sun-and-rain cycle. Gravel is a practical fit for local projects because it promotes drainage in areas receiving 34.25 inches of rain annually while standing up to frequent sun and dry spells. Properly selected gravel reduces erosion on slopes, minimizes turf replacement in sunny yards, and provides a pervious surface that helps manage runoff. Hello Gravel simplifies getting the right product by connecting Mission Hills homeowners with nearby suppliers, offering clear pricing, scheduling delivery by professional dump trucks, and giving guidance on material selection so your gravel arrives ready for the job.Popular Projects in Mission Hills This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Mission Hills gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in Mission Hills.
Prices vary by type and season, but in Mission Hills expect roughly $40 to $100 per ton for common gravels, with decorative or specialty mixes toward the higher end. Hello Gravel often includes free delivery in many areas, but delivery fees and minimums depend on local suppliers and the 3-ton minimum; check your zip code and the checkout quote for exact pricing.
For driveways, 3/4" crushed rock or crushed limestone with a compacted base performs well for durability and drainage. For walkways, decomposed granite (DG) or 3/8" crushed gravel and pea gravel are popular for appearance and comfort; DG stabilizers or grids help lock the material in place where needed.
Use area x depth to get volume then convert to tons (1 cubic yard of gravel ≈ 1.4 tons). Example: a 20x30 ft driveway (600 sq ft) at 3" depth is about 5.6 cubic yards, roughly 7.8 tons; a 10x2 ft walkway (20 sq ft) at 2" depth is about 0.12 cubic yards, roughly 0.17 tons, so small jobs often require buying bags or meeting the 3-ton minimum.
Many homeowners in Mission Hills must check local City of Los Angeles/Mission Hills rules and their HOA covenants before changing landscaping, since front yard treatments and impermeable surface rules vary. Contact your HOA and the local building or planning department early; Hello Gravel can supply material specs if your board or permits request them.
Prepare a stable base: remove vegetation, compact subgrade, install geotextile fabric, and lay a 3-4" compacted layer of 3/4" crushed rock for typical walkways and 4-6" for driveways. Add a slight crown or slope for runoff, use edge restraints, and consider French drains or catch basins where seasonal stormwater concentrates.
Hello Gravel's standard delivery window is 2+ business days, with a next-day option available for orders placed before noon CST for an extra fee. Minimum orders are generally 3 tons due to dump truck delivery; small projects may be better served with bagged material from local retailers.
In Mission Hills' dry Mediterranean climate, annual maintenance like raking, removing debris, and topping up about 1/2" to 1" per year keeps surfaces looking good; high-traffic driveways may need more frequent attention. A well-built gravel driveway or path can last 5 to 10 years before a significant refresh, longer if stabilized with grids or binders.
Gravel is usually the lowest upfront cost and easier to install or change than concrete or pavers, but it needs more ongoing maintenance and periodic replenishing. Concrete and pavers are more durable and lower-maintenance long term, but they cost more and can retain heat differently; permeable gravel allows better stormwater infiltration than solid concrete.
Local suppliers source structural gravel from nearby quarries that crush native rock for base and drainage stone, while decorative gravels and colored blends often come from riverbeds or regional suppliers and sometimes are trucked in from other parts of California. Regional geology in West California means color and texture will vary, so ask for local samples if appearance matters.
Common stabilizers for Mission Hills projects include geotextile fabric, gravel grids, and polymeric binders that reduce migration and dust, especially on slopes or high-traffic areas. Use fabric under the base to prevent mixing with soil, and consider grid or binder systems when you need a firmer, low-maintenance surface.
Drivers may offer tailgate spreading at their discretion and you can request it at checkout, but Hello Gravel does not guarantee spreading and the driver will assess safety and access on arrival. For precise spreading or smoothing, hire a landscaper or schedule professional spreading services.
Choose lighter-colored gravels or river rock to reflect more sunlight and reduce heat absorption compared with dark basalt or black rock. Also consider the depth of gravel and adding plants or shade elements to mitigate heat buildup in exposed yards.
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.

No, because we are a national supplier, we utilize our existing network of suppliers across the country. Therefore, the materials will likely be delivered from a contracted trucking company.
We specialize in making the aggregate buying process as easy and seamless as possible by managing the process from end to end. We have a network of suppliers that we source the materials from where we have negotiated rates. However, we do charge a markup and because of this you may be able to find the materials cheaper on your own. But if you want a hassle free experience, then we are for you!
