Decomposed Granite
Known for its natural look, this compact, durable material drains well and holds up in high-traffic areas.

A smaller ⅜” crushed stone that is great for paths, patios, and garden walkways. Comfortable under foot thanks to its smaller size, and creates a beautiful garden-like atmosphere.

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 Pacific Palisades Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Pacific Palisades, with a city population of 19,390 and located inside a broader metro area of 2.5+ million, is seeing steady residential and landscape investment as it grows at about 1.27% annually. The community’s coastal geography and temperate Hardiness Zone 8b climate—228 sunny days per year and an annual rainfall of 34.25 inches—encourage year-round outdoor living, hardscaping, and erosion-control projects. That steady growth and reliable outdoor use mean homeowners and small contractors increasingly need dependable aggregates for driveways, pathways, French drains, and slope stabilization. Quality gravel that balances permeability, compaction, and visual fit helps keep surfaces stable through wet spells and prevents dust and rutting during long dry stretches.Popular Projects in Pacific Palisades This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Pacific Palisades gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in Pacific Palisades.
Costs vary by supplier, project size, and access. Hello Gravel requires a 3-ton minimum and factors in material price, delivery, and any labor for spreading; standard delivery is 2+ business days (next-day available for orders placed before noon CST for an extra fee). For an accurate total, use our material calculator or request a local quote so you can compare material cost plus any contractor or hauling fees.
Pea gravel works well in coastal climates because it drains and does not retain moisture like organic mulches, but on steep slopes it can shift unless stabilized with edging, geotextile fabric, or a binder. Avoid pea gravel for steep driveways or heavy-traffic areas where it will rut or migrate; choose compactable crushed rock or a structural section for slopes and vehicle loads.
Gravel itself is inert and is less attractive to insects than wood mulch, but organic debris that accumulates in the gravel can harbor pests. Prevent issues by installing weed fabric or a permeable landscape fabric, keeping the surface free of leaves and mulch, and using edging to limit organic wash-in from beds and trees.
Rules vary by HOA and municipal zoning—Pacific Palisades is in the City of Los Angeles, and some HOAs have design guidelines or restrictions on front-yard surfacing and visible rock. Always check your HOA covenants and contact the Los Angeles Department of Building and Safety or local planning office if you are unsure before changing front-yard hardscape.
For walkways, 2-3 inches of pea gravel over a compacted base and geotextile is common for decorative paths; for durable driveways use 3/4" crushed stone or recycled base rock with 4-8 inches compacted depending on traffic. Around pools, choose rounded, washed gravel or small decorative stone 3/8" to 3/4" in size at 1-2 inches for comfort and drainage, and always slope and compact subbase for proper drainage away from the pool.
Contractors measure the area in square feet and select a depth, then convert to cubic yards with area x depth(inches)/324, and convert cubic yards to tons (rough rule of thumb: multiply cubic yards by about 1.4). Labor estimates include prep (edging and base), delivery and spreading time—short, accessible projects in Pacific Palisades may be quoted per linear foot or per hour; ask for itemized quotes so you can see material, delivery, and labor breakdowns.
Many local suppliers and contractors can provide optional services like laying geotextile fabric, installing edging, mechanical compaction of the base, and occasional raking or topping-off deliveries. Hello Gravel coordinates with local suppliers who may offer removal of old material or added weed-control products for an extra fee; contact our team to confirm specific services in your zip code.
If you use a 3-3-3 mulch guideline (for example, 3 inches deep, 3 inches clearance from trunk, and a 3-foot radius), adapt it for gravel by keeping gravel shallower near trunks (1-2 inches over the root zone), maintaining a clear gap of several inches from the tree trunk to avoid bark contact, and ensuring the gravel layer does not exceed what the roots can tolerate. Also leave some organic mulch or bare soil near trunks if recommended for specific species and check irrigation to avoid overwatering beneath gravel.
Yes—gravel is commonly used for pool surrounds and drainage swales because it promotes infiltration and resists rot, but proper installation is key: use washed stone, a stabilizing subbase, geotextile fabric, and slope away from structures. For drainage areas, pair gravel with perforated drains, catch basins, or a gravel trench to ensure water is directed to storm lines or permeable soil rather than the foundation.
Hello Gravel works with local suppliers that deliver to Pacific Palisades; our platform typically enforces a 3-ton minimum order and offers standard delivery in 2+ business days, with next-day options for orders placed before noon CST at an extra cost. Delivery fees and haul-away services vary by supplier and site access—many areas qualify for free delivery but constrained access, narrow streets, or long distances can add fees; contact our team for a precise quote and to ask about removal of old material.
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.
