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 Oro Grande Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Oro Grande is a small but active community with a city population of 680 that sits on the edge of a larger metro area (2.5+ million). With a steady growth rate of 0.40% annually and a climate that averages 228 sunny days and 34.25 inches of rainfall per year in hardiness zone 8b, local homeowners balance sun-driven landscaping with periodic storms that create runoff and mud in unpaved areas. That mix of conditions drives demand for durable, well-draining materials for driveways, walkways, erosion control, and low-maintenance yards. Homeowners choose quality gravel to limit dust, improve drainage, and create long-lasting surfaces that stand up to sun exposure and occasional heavy rain without constant upkeep.Popular Projects in Oro Grande This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Oro Grande gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in Oro Grande.
Depending on type and source, delivered gravel to Oro Grande usually falls roughly between $40 and $90 per ton, which is about $52 to $117 per cubic yard (1 cu yd is about 1.3 tons). Specialty materials like large river rock or colored decorative gravel can cost more. Final price depends on material type, delivery distance, and whether spreading is requested.
Hello Gravel requires a 3-ton minimum order and uses local haulers to deliver by dump truck. Standard delivery is 2+ business days, and next-day delivery is available for orders placed before noon CST for an extra fee; many areas qualify for free delivery so check your zip code. Tailgate spreading may be requested at checkout but is done at the driver’s discretion with no guarantees.
For Oro Grande’s dry, high-desert conditions, crushed rock (3/4" minus or 3/4"–1") and compacted decomposed granite (DG) are top choices because they lock together and shed water. Pea gravel and smooth river rock look nice but move under traffic and are less stable for driveways. Adding a compacted base and edge restraints improves performance in arid soils.
Use a geotextile fabric over unstable soil, install a 4"–6" compacted base of 3/4" minus or crusher-run, then top with 2"–3" of the chosen surface gravel. Add edge restraints and grade the driveway to encourage runoff to swales or drains away from the surface. For steeper slopes or areas prone to occasional heavy storms, consider additional drainage features or stabilization grids to reduce erosion.
Quick examples: a 1-car driveway (12'x20') at 4" depth needs about 3 cubic yards (~4 tons); a 2-car driveway (20'x30') at 4" needs about 7.5 cubic yards (~9.8 tons). A 3'x50' path at 3" depth is about 1.4 cubic yards (~1.8 tons), which is below our 3-ton minimum so you may combine smaller areas or add fill. Remember 1 cubic yard is about 1.3 tons and exact needs depend on compaction and base thickness.
Oro Grande is in San Bernardino County, so county zoning rules and any neighborhood HOAs can set rules on driveway surfacing and front-yard landscaping. Many rural properties allow gravel, but some HOAs restrict color, material size, or require periodic maintenance. Check San Bernardino County planning and your HOA guidelines before ordering to avoid rework.
With proper base preparation and drainage, a gravel driveway can perform well for 5–15 years before major rehab, though high-traffic areas will need more frequent attention. Expect to regrade and top-dress thin layers every 1–3 years and replenish 1/4"–1/2" of material as it disperses. Regular weed control and occasional compaction after hot-season loosening will extend lifespan.
Gravel has the lowest upfront cost and good permeability for desert drains, but it requires more regular maintenance and has a shorter service life than asphalt or concrete. Asphalt is less expensive than concrete and lasts 15–20 years with periodic sealing, while concrete and pavers offer the longest life and lowest routine maintenance but come with higher installation costs. Choose based on budget, expected traffic, and how much maintenance you want.
Start with a geotextile and compacted base, add edge restraints, and consider stabilizing grids or gravel stabilization pavers that lock stone in place for heavy use. Polymer stabilizers and resin-bound options can reduce dust and movement but raise material costs and may require professional application. For contractors, combining mechanical stabilization (grids) with a proper base gives the best balance of durability and cost in the high-desert environment.
Installations are easiest in spring and fall when temperatures are moderate; extreme summer heat can affect compaction and make work harder for crews. Oro Grande gets little rain but can experience occasional heavy storms and flash flooding, so prioritize good grading and drainage in all seasons. Because standard delivery is 2+ business days, plan ahead for peak landscaping seasons to secure your preferred date.
Because we source materials regionally, gravel color and texture can vary with local geology and may not exactly match photos. Add color or texture notes at checkout if you have a strong preference, and contact our customer service promptly if the material is significantly different; we will work with you and the supplier to resolve issues. See our refund policy for details on claims and next steps.
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.
