Gravel: Built For Montebello Drainage • Same-Day Gravel Delivery Across Metro
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 Montebello Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Montebello, with a city population of 52,040 and part of a metro area of 2.7+ million, combines steady urban growth (1.00% annually) with a temperate Southern California climate (hardiness zone 8b). The city averages 228 sunny days per year and about 34.25 inches of rain, creating conditions where outdoor projects — from driveways and patios to drainage and erosion control — are common. As Montebello sees infill development and home upgrades, homeowners and contractors need predictable supplies of quality aggregates. People look for gravel that manages stormwater, reduces dust, and holds up under strong sun; consistent grading and reliable delivery make planning and budgeting for projects much easier. Gravel is particularly well suited to Montebello’s environment: its permeability improves runoff handling during rainy periods while stone surfaces remain stable under long stretches of sun, supporting drought-tolerant landscaping in zone 8b. Hello Gravel helps you source locally appropriate gravel by connecting you with vetted suppliers and haulers, coordinating delivery by dump truck fleets, and letting you specify color or application notes so you get material that fits both the look and function of your project.Popular Projects in Montebello This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Montebello gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in Montebello.
Buying bulk by the truckload is usually the cheapest option per ton compared with bagged material from retail stores. Hello Gravel's minimum order is 3 tons, and delivered bulk avoids the higher per-unit price and hauling hassle of many 50 lb bags. Request a quote to compare delivered bulk price vs. local store bags for your exact material and delivery address.
Delivered cost depends on material type, distance, and supplier fees, but in Montebello delivered gravel often falls in the range of about $40 to $100 per ton. A handy conversion is roughly 1 cubic yard = about 1.4 tons for most gravel mixes, so ask for both ton and cubic yard pricing. For an exact delivered price for your address and material, get a quote from Hello Gravel.
A 50 lb bag of gravel is roughly 0.5 cubic foot and will cover about 6 square feet at a 1-inch depth, or about 3 square feet at 2 inches. Driveways typically require several inches of material, so using bulk delivery for even a short Montebello driveway is usually more practical than many bags. Use a material calculator or contact Hello Gravel with your project dimensions for an accurate bag vs. bulk comparison.
Prepare a firm, well-draining base: remove topsoil and organic matter, install 4 to 6 inches of compacted crushed rock or road base for driveways, and use a plate compactor to achieve solid support. Laying geotextile fabric can help separate fine local clay soils from the aggregate and reduce sinking and weed growth. Montebello's local soils and seasonal rains make good subbase and compaction especially important for long-term performance.
No. Two inches is too thin for vehicle traffic and will rut and migrate quickly. For Montebello driveways you should plan on 3 to 6 inches of gravel on top of a properly compacted subbase, with thicker depths for heavier vehicles or poor soil conditions. If you need help setting the right depth, Hello Gravel's team can advise based on your driveway use and soil.
You can lay gravel directly over compacted dirt for light, decorative paths, but it is not recommended for driveways or heavy use. For driveways in Montebello, a 4 to 6 inch compacted crushed rock subbase and optional geotextile fabric are recommended to stabilize the surface and improve drainage. Skipping a proper subbase usually leads to sinking, weeds, and drainage problems over time.
For driveways, angular crushed rock or 3/4" minus base mixes are best because the pieces lock together and resist movement. For walkways and decorative beds, decomposed granite (DG) or pea gravel provide a finished look; pea gravel is rounded and comfortable to walk on but shifts more than crushed stone. Use open-graded stone or drain rock for drainage trenches and French drains, and expect color and texture to vary with local sourcing in Los Angeles County.
Hello Gravel has a minimum order of 3 tons and standard delivery of 2 or more business days, with next-day delivery available for orders placed before noon CST for an additional fee. Delivery fees vary by supplier and location; many Montebello customers see free delivery offers but always check the quote for fees. Drivers will tip material to a safe, accessible area at their discretion and may refuse to tip in tight or unsafe spots, so specify drop location and site access when ordering.
A 10 x 40 ft driveway is 400 sq ft. At 2 inches that equals about 2.5 cubic yards (roughly 3.5 tons); at 3 inches about 3.7 cubic yards (about 5.2 tons); and at 4 inches about 4.9 cubic yards (about 6.9 tons). Multiply the tonnage by your per-ton delivered price to estimate cost, add 5 to 10 percent for waste and compaction, and get a Hello Gravel quote for exact pricing to Montebello.
Rules vary by neighborhood and HOA, and Montebello or Los Angeles County may have stormwater and setback requirements that affect permeable surfaces and driveway changes. Before installing a gravel driveway, check with the City of Montebello planning/building department and your HOA for permit and design rules. If in doubt, contact Hello Gravel or local officials to confirm any local regulations that could affect your project.
Deliveries are made by contracted dump truck fleets and drivers will tip material where it is safe to do so based on site access and safety. Tailgate spreading may be available at the driver's discretion; request it at checkout but there are no guarantees. For best results, plan a clear, level drop zone and include any special delivery notes when you order.
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.
