Why Palm Desert Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Palm Desert has a city population of 48,513 and is part of a larger metro region of 7.9+ million residents. With a steady growth rate of 0.40% annually, demand for home improvement, infill construction, and outdoor living upgrades tends to be consistent rather than volatile—more renovation and landscape refreshes than boom-driven new subdivisions. The local climate, which averages 204 sunny days per year and an annual rainfall of 49.77 inches in hardiness zone 9a, shapes practical material choices: homeowners need products that stand up to strong sunlight, shed or absorb episodic heavy rain, and reduce maintenance in a warm climate. That combination drives interest in durable surfacing, good drainage bases, quality topsoils and mulches to conserve moisture, and aggregates for pathways and patios that minimize long-term upkeep. Palm Desert’s mix of intense sun and measurable seasonal rain creates two main material challenges: UV exposure and intermittent runoff. Materials that perform well here must resist fading and breakdown from sun while also allowing water to infiltrate or drain without eroding landscape beds and hardscape bases. For homeowners that means selecting materials based on particle size, compaction behavior, and permeability rather than appearance alone. Hello Gravel helps by connecting you to local suppliers whose regional sourcing reflects local geology, offering transparent pricing, delivery scheduling, and tools and guidance to match material performance to Palm Desert’s specific conditions.Popular Projects in Palm Desert This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Palm Desert Gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in Palm Desert.
Our materials support a wide range of projects including driveways, walkways, patios, xeriscape yards, drainage swales, raised beds, and basic site grading. Whether you need material for a DIY yard refresh or a contractor-run job, we connect you to local suppliers and delivery options that fit project scale.
Choose based on function: drainage, surface stability, or decorative appearance. Consider the material's particle size, compaction needs, and how it performs in a hot, arid climate; for help, use our material calculator or contact our team for guidance.
High temperatures and low rainfall make materials drier and can increase settling and dust; UV exposure may lighten color over time. Plan for proper compaction, drainage, and occasional top-ups, and combine aggregates with drip irrigation or groundcover where planting is involved to reduce erosion and dust.
Fall through spring is generally the easiest time for deliveries and installations because temperatures are milder and ground preparation is easier. Avoid scheduling heavy installs during extreme summer heat when working conditions and material handling can be more difficult.
Measure the area (length x width) and determine the desired depth in feet, then divide by 27 to get cubic yards: (L x W x depth)/27. To convert cubic yards to tons, multiply by a material-specific factor (typically around 1.2 to 1.6 tons per cubic yard); use our online calculator or contact us for a more exact conversion.
Standard delivery is typically 2+ business days, with next-day delivery available for orders placed before noon CST for an additional fee. We deliver by contracted dump trucks (usually tri-axle), require a minimum order of 3 tons, and many local deliveries qualify for free delivery—check your zip code at checkout.
Drivers may offer tailgate spreading at their discretion, but this is not guaranteed and depends on site access and safety. For precise placement or spreading, plan to arrange professional installation or discuss placement needs in the Order Notes so drivers can prepare accordingly.
Yes—HOAs and the city often have rules about rock color, rock depth, driveway materials, and permit requirements for grading or hardscape changes. Always check your HOA guidelines and contact Palm Desert city planning or building department for permits or restrictions before placing an order.
Walk the site to identify slopes, low spots, and surface drainage paths, and determine whether the area needs regrading or a compacted base. For projects affecting drainage or structural surfaces, consider hiring a contractor to evaluate compaction requirements, erosion control, and any permit needs before you order materials.
Supply-only covers just the material cost and delivery, while installation includes labor, equipment, grading, compaction, and clean-up. Installation costs vary by project complexity, access, and local labor rates—get quotes for both options so you can compare the full project cost versus material-only pricing.
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.
