Frequently Asked Questions - Morena gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in Morena.
Delivered gravel prices in Morena vary by type and distance, but a typical range is roughly $40 to $120 per ton delivered depending on material (pea gravel, crushed rock, or recycled concrete) and access. Hello Gravel has a 3-ton minimum order; delivery is often included for larger loads but small orders, steep driveways, or tight access can add fees. Get an exact quote by entering your zip code on our site or calling our team.
Morena-area driveway materials generally come from San Diego County quarries and local landscape supply yards; many of these suppliers offer delivery and hauling services. Hello Gravel connects you with trusted local suppliers and arranges dump-truck delivery, so you can see available material photos and delivery options when you request a quote.
Angular crushed rock (for example 3/4" crushed stone or crusher-run) performs best in Morena because it compacts and locks together, resisting washout during winter rains. Use larger rock for drainage areas and avoid loose rounded pea gravel for high-traffic driveways since it can migrate and rut in wet weather. Proper base prep and drainage are equally important to performance in this climate.
For a 20x20 driveway (400 sq ft), a common top layer of 3 inches of compacted gravel requires about 3.7 cubic yards, which is roughly 4.5 to 5.5 tons depending on material density. If you include a compacted base (4 to 6 inches of crusher-run) plan on roughly 8 to 12 tons total. Use our material calculator or request a quote for a precise estimate based on the exact product you choose.
Yes. Parts of the Morena area can have fine clay pockets and seasonal runoff, so poor subgrade drainage or soft soils will shorten the life of loose gravel unless you stabilize the base. For weak or clayey subgrades, install a well-graded crusher-run base, add drainage (swales or drains), and consider geotextile separation to prevent sinking and mixing of soils with aggregate.
Gravel has a lower upfront installed cost than asphalt or concrete, but it requires periodic maintenance (adding material, grading, and weed control) that adds lifecycle expense. Rough local ballpark: installed gravel might run in the low dollars per square foot, while asphalt and concrete are several times higher; actual prices vary by site prep, access, and material choice, so get local quotes for apples-to-apples comparisons. For Morena, factor in extra drainage prep if your lot has runoff or soft soils.
Restrictions vary. Many HOAs limit loose rock or require certain colors and sizes for front yards, and some county or municipal codes set driveway surface standards for visibility or dust control. Before installing, check San Diego County planning rules (or your city if incorporated) and your HOA design guidelines to confirm allowed materials and setbacks.
Recycled crushed concrete is often more affordable than virgin aggregate and compacts well, making it a cost-effective base material for driveways and pads in Morena. Be aware it can contain fines that reduce drainage and it may vary in appearance, so use it primarily as a base layer and confirm material quality with your supplier. Hello Gravel can show recycled options and delivery pricing for your area.
For patios and comfortable walking paths, 3/8" pea gravel or decomposed granite (DG) with a binder works well; compactable DG is a popular, low-profile option in Southern California. For pathways and areas needing better stability, use 3/8" to 1/2" angular crushed stone over a compacted base. For drainage (French drains or dry creek beds), use clean 3/4" to 1-1/2" rock to keep water moving and resist clogging.
In many Morena applications, geotextile fabric is recommended where the subgrade is soft, clayey, or prone to mixing with aggregate, because it separates and stabilizes the layers and extends the life of the surface. On very well-draining, firm subgrades it may be optional, but for driveways, parking areas, or sites with erosion risk, fabric is a smart precaution. Discuss your site with suppliers or contractors to decide if fabric is needed.
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.
