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.
Road Base

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 Palmdale Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Palmdale, with a city population of 162,626, sits in the high desert of northern Los Angeles County and is part of a metro area with 2.5+ million residents. The city’s steady growth rate of 0.40% annually, combined with 228 sunny days per year and its location in USDA hardiness zone 8b, drives steady demand for residential and light‑commercial construction. Homeowners here often need durable, low‑maintenance materials that stand up to strong sun, occasional wind, and seasonal rainfall. Gravel is a go‑to aggregate for local projects because it provides reliable drainage, reduces erosion on sloped lots, and creates stable surfaces for driveways, walkways, and patios—qualities Palmdale residents look for when investing in lasting outdoor upgrades.Popular Projects in Palmdale This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Palmdale gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in Palmdale.
Prices vary by gravel type and delivery distance, but a full tri-axle dump truck load (around 10-12 cubic yards) typically ranges by several hundred dollars in Palmdale. Final cost depends on material type, tonnage, and any delivery or placement requests; get an exact delivered price by checking your zip code and requesting a quote. Hello Gravel can provide transparent pricing and schedule delivery for your property.
Locally, a good rule of thumb is 1 cubic yard of gravel weighs about 1.3 tons. At typical installation depths, one ton of gravel will cover roughly 125 square feet at 2 inches, about 83 square feet at 3 inches, and about 250 square feet at 1 inch.
The most economical option is to order bulk material (minimum 3 tons with Hello Gravel) rather than buying many small bags. Choosing commonly available materials like crusher-run or screened base and accepting standard delivery (2+ business days) also lowers cost; recycled crushed concrete can be cheaper if acceptable for your project.
A 50 lb bag of gravel contains about 0.02 cubic yards, which will cover approximately 3 square feet at a 2-inch depth. For larger areas in Palmdale it is usually more cost-effective to order bulk tons rather than many bags.
Cost depends on width, depth, and material. For a single-car 20 ft by 10 ft driveway at 2 inches, expect about 4.9 cubic yards (roughly 6.4 tons) of gravel; multiply the tonnage by local delivered price per ton for an estimate and add any spreading or permit fees. Request a quote from Hello Gravel for precise local pricing.
In Palmdale's dry climate, 2 inches can work for light-use walkways or decorative surfaces, but for a driveway that sees vehicle traffic we recommend 3-4 inches compacted over a prepared base for better stability. Proper base preparation and drainage matter more than thickness alone, so consult our team for the right depth for your project.
It depends on your driveway width and desired depth. For example, a 100 ft by 10 ft driveway at 2 inches requires about 8.0 tons; at 3 inches that same area needs about 12 tons. Use those examples to scale for your exact width and depth or use Hello Gravel's material calculator for a precise estimate.
Common economical options include crusher-run (also called road base) and locally sourced 3/4" minus gravel, which compact well and are widely available in the Antelope Valley. Recycled aggregate or crushed concrete also lowers cost, but check local availability and suitability for drainage and finish appearance.
Lower-cost alternatives include compacted crusher-run, decomposed granite (for a more natural look in dry climates like Palmdale), and recycled crushed concrete. Each has trade-offs in appearance, drainage, and maintenance, so choose based on budget and how the surface will be used.
One cubic yard of gravel covers about 162 square feet at a 2-inch depth, about 108 square feet at 3 inches, and about 324 square feet at 1 inch. Keep in mind local compaction and the angularity of the gravel can slightly change coverage, so round up when ordering.
A typical tri-axle dump truck carries about 10-12 cubic yards, which will cover roughly 1,620-1,944 square feet at 2 inches, or about 1,080-1,296 square feet at 3 inches. Exact coverage depends on truck capacity and the compacted depth you need.
For a 10 by 10 foot area (100 sq ft), you will need about 0.62 cubic yards at 2 inches, which is roughly 0.8 tons. At 3 inches depth you need about 0.92 cubic yards or about 1.2 tons.
A 7x14 trailer with 2-foot-high sides holds about 196 cubic feet, or roughly 7.3 cubic yards. In terms of weight that equals about 9-10 tons for typical gravel, but check your trailer and local road limits before loading full capacity.
Yes. Palmdale's arid desert climate means dust control and drainage are important; opt for angular, compactable material for driveways and consider a finer top layer for walking areas. Also note local street access and neighborhood restrictions—narrow roads or HOA rules may affect truck placement and unloading, so share site details at checkout and check permits if 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.
