Why Playa del Rey Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Playa del Rey is a small coastal community with a city population of 9,799 and sits inside a West California metro area of 2.5+ million residents. With steady growth of 1.00% annually and a temperate Hardiness Zone 8b climate that brings about 225 sunny days per year and 34.70 inches of rain annually, homeowners here frequently take on landscaping and light construction projects year-round. That steady demand—from driveway repairs and patio bases to drainage upgrades and decorative paths—creates a need for dependable aggregates. Because coastal soils and seasonal rains can lead to settling and erosion, Playa del Rey homeowners look for quality, regionally sourced gravel sized and graded for stability, permeability, and long-term appearance. Choosing the right angularity and grain mix reduces future maintenance and improves water management on sloped lots and compacted soils.Popular Projects in Playa del Rey This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Playa del Rey gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in Playa del Rey.
In Playa del Rey sand is generally a bit cheaper per ton than pea gravel because sand is less processed and in higher local supply. That said local availability, seasonal demand, and delivery distance can change prices, so check your zip code and get a delivered quote for the most accurate comparison.
A standard tri-axle dump truck usually carries about 10 to 12 tons of gravel; delivered cost for a full truck in the Los Angeles coastal area commonly ranges widely depending on material and distance. Expect a rough delivered price from several hundred to around one thousand dollars for a full truckload, and the best way to know is to get a quote through Hello Gravel since rates vary by supplier, material, and any delivery fees.
Pea gravel is not a good choice where you need a stable, compact surface—like steep driveways, wheelchair-accessible paths, or high-traffic walkways—because the small round stones shift under load. In coastal Playa del Rey areas with wind and sand movement, pea gravel can migrate more easily, so choose a more angular, compacting aggregate for slopes or heavy use.
Measure the area in square feet, multiply by the desired depth in feet, then divide by 27 to get cubic yards; add about 10-30% extra for compaction and waste. To convert cubic yards to tons, use a local estimate of roughly 1.4 to 1.7 tons per cubic yard depending on the gravel type—request the supplier density when you order for a precise quote.
Salt air does not damage gravel itself, but it can accelerate corrosion of nearby metal edging, hardware, or fixtures and affect salt-sensitive plants. If you have metal borders or planters, choose corrosion-resistant materials and rinse any concrete or metal occasionally to limit salt buildup.
Hello Gravel serves nationwide with local suppliers, so delivery to Playa del Rey is usually available but you should check your zip code on the site. Expect a minimum order of 3 tons, standard delivery in 2+ business days, tri-axle dump trucks, and optional tailgate spreading at the driver's discretion; next-day delivery is available for orders placed before noon CST for an extra fee.
For a stable, attractive path in Playa del Rey, use a crushed stone (like 3/4" minus) with fines that compact well; it holds shape and resists wind-driven movement better than loose pea gravel. Pea gravel can work for informal, decorative paths but is less ideal for accessibility and areas that need a firm surface.
Clear the intended drop zone of vehicles, toys, and obstacles, and mark any underground utilities or sprinkler heads so the driver can avoid them. Make sure there is adequate truck access and note that some neighborhoods may require street permits for oversize deliveries; discuss placement and any spreading requests at checkout since drivers decide what is safe on arrival.
As of today, we require 2 business days for delivery.

The material will be delivered via dump truck. If your order is under 20 tons, then it will likely be just one dump truck load. If your order is more than 20 tons, it will be more than one dump truck load.

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.
Hassle Free! Our goal is to make the buying process for gravel and other aggregates as easy and seamless as possible. Enter your zip code on our site, select how much material you need (see below FAQ’s to determine order size), select the date and time frame you would like your material delivered at Checkout, and place your order with any major credit card. After the order is placed our in-house support team will contact you to confirm the details. We will send additional confirmations on the day before and the day of delivery. On delivery day, a dump truck will arrive to dump the materials at your specified location. We request that you have someone available to accept the delivery so that we can make sure to dump it in the correct location. That’s it!
No, because we are a national supplier, we utilize our existing network of suppliers across the country. Therefore, the materials will likely be delivered from a contracted trucking company.
