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

Walkway Gravel
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
(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 Palos Verdes Peninsula Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Palos Verdes Peninsula is a coastal community with a city population of 25,000 and sits inside a larger metro area population of 13.1+ million. With a growth rate of 0.50% annually and a mild Mediterranean climate—284 sunny days per year and just 15.00 inches of annual rainfall—local projects favor low-water, erosion-resistant materials. The peninsula’s sloped topography, coastal soils, and salt exposure increase demand for reliable aggregates for driveways, drainage, retaining walls, and erosion control. Homeowners choose quality gravel for improved drainage, reduced maintenance, and slope stabilization where compacted soils and runoff can cause problems. Gravel also complements drought-tolerant landscaping in hardiness zone 10a while providing a durable, permeable surface for year-round outdoor use.Popular Projects in Palos Verdes Peninsula This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Palos Verdes Peninsula gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in Palos Verdes Peninsula.
Pricing varies by material and supplier, but expect delivered gravel in Palos Verdes Peninsula to commonly fall in ranges around $30 to $80 per ton depending on type (decorative gravels are at the higher end). Hello Gravel requires a minimum order of 3 tons, and many local deliveries are offered with free delivery or transparent per-ton pricing at checkout—check your zip code for exact rates and fees.
For steep coastal slopes in Palos Verdes, crushed rock (angular 3/4" or similar) and well-graded crushed stone are usually best because the angular pieces lock together and resist movement. Decomposed granite can work if stabilized or compacted and combined with proper edging, while pea gravel and smooth river rock tend to roll and are not recommended on steep driveways.
A good estimating rule is 1 cubic yard = about 1.4 tons. Example estimates: a single-lane driveway 12' x 40' at 4" depth needs roughly 6 cubic yards or about 8 to 9 tons; a 12' x 12' patio at 2" depth needs about 0.9 cubic yards or about 1.2 to 1.5 tons; a 3' x 30' walkway at 2" depth needs about 0.6 cubic yards or about 0.8 to 1 ton. Because Hello Gravel has a 3-ton minimum, plan to order at least 3 tons or bulk up adjacent areas when possible.
Yes, local suppliers and regional quarries serve the Palos Verdes Peninsula and deliver via dump truck. Typical lead times are our standard 2+ business days for scheduled delivery, with many suppliers able to deliver in 2 to 5 business days depending on stock and season; next-day delivery may be available for orders placed before noon CST for an additional fee.
Most inert mineral gravels like granite, basalt, and quartz-based crushed stone tolerate coastal salt spray well and will not corrode, while softer limestone and some decorative materials may show faster weathering or staining. If salt exposure is a concern, choose harder, acid- and salt-tolerant aggregates (granite or basalt) and plan for occasional rinsing and maintenance near the shoreline.
Use a compacted base of crushed rock, geotextile fabric to separate soil, sturdy edge restraints (concrete or metal), and proper drainage measures such as graded swales or terraces to slow runoff. On steep slopes, consider terracing, retaining walls, or mechanical stabilizers (binder-enhanced decomposed granite or grid stabilization) to reduce washout and displacement.
On sloped or high-traffic areas expect spot maintenance or regrading every 1 to 3 years and more extensive replenishing every 3 to 7 years depending on traffic and rainfall. Small touch-ups can cost under $200 in material and labor for homeowners, while full driveway regrades or replenishments typically range from a few hundred to a couple thousand dollars depending on size and truck access.
Both can help with infiltration: loose gravel is inexpensive and allows quick infiltration but can wash out on steep slopes, while permeable pavers provide stable surfaces that slow runoff and give controlled infiltration at higher upfront cost. Cost-wise, expect installed gravel systems to run roughly $2 to $6 per square foot, while permeable pavers typically run $8 to $20+ per square foot installed; choose based on slope, expected traffic, and local runoff rules.
Many Palos Verdes HOAs and cities (for example Rancho Palos Verdes and Rolling Hills Estates) have design guidelines that regulate front-yard surfacing, stone color, and maximum stone size; some prohibit loose rock in certain setbacks. Always check your HOA CC&Rs and your city’s planning or landscape guidelines before ordering—common requirements include limiting dark or reflective rock, using contained edging, and avoiding materials that create dust or tracking.
Pea gravel is usually soft underfoot and cheaper per ton but shifts and scatters easily, making it less durable for slopes or driveways; crushed rock (angular 3/4" or similar) is more stable and durable for driveways at modest cost; decomposed granite (DG) compacts to a smooth surface and looks natural but can erode without stabilization. Typical delivered cost ranges for Palos Verdes: pea gravel $30 to $60 per ton, crushed rock $25 to $50 per ton, and stabilized DG $35 to $70 per ton, with durability and maintenance requirements increasing in that order from pea gravel to crushed rock.
As of today, we require 2 business days for delivery.
