Why Poway Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Poway has a city population of 46,432 and sits within a metro area of 2.5+ million, with steady expansion at a growth rate of 0.70% annually. The local climate features 228 sunny days per year, an annual rainfall of 35.55 inches, and placement in USDA hardiness zone 8b, which creates a mix of prolonged sun exposure and occasional heavy rains. That combination of weather and incremental development fuels demand for reliable aggregates: homeowners and local contractors need materials that provide drainage, control erosion on slopes, and form durable surfaces for driveways, patios, and pathways. Quality gravel is chosen for its ability to promote infiltration, stabilize soils, and offer low-maintenance texture and color that complements Poway landscapes and small-scale construction projects.Popular Projects in Poway This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Poway gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in Poway.
Costs vary by material, quantity, and delivery distance, but most Poway homeowners see a delivered price range roughly between $40 and $150 per ton depending on type (pea gravel, crushed rock, decomposed granite) and local supplier rates. Hello Gravel requires a 3-ton minimum and shows exact pricing at checkout for your Poway zip code, including any delivery fees. For a precise number, use our material calculator or request a quote with project dimensions.
For Poway's dry Mediterranean climate, 3/4"-1" crushed rock is a strong choice for driveways because it locks together and sheds water, while decomposed granite (DG) works well for compacted pathways and patios. Pea gravel is attractive for decorative areas but can shift under vehicle traffic, so use it with edging and a compacted base. Consider local color and drainage needs when choosing material.
Calculate cubic yards first: length (ft) x width (ft) x depth (ft) ÷ 27 = cubic yards. Convert to tons using about 1.3 tons per cubic yard and add 10% for waste and compaction. Example: a 12' x 50' driveway at 3" depth is about 5.6 cubic yards → ~7.3 tons before waste → order ~8 tons for Poway conditions.
Basic installation in Poway typically ranges from about $2 to $6 per square foot for grading, base prep, fabric installation, and spreading, depending on site access and slope. More involved work such as major grading, retaining walls, or extensive drainage can raise costs substantially. Get multiple local contractor quotes and factor in material delivery and any permit costs.
Poway has hot, dry summers and wetter winters, so choose materials and depths that resist washout in heavy winter rains while allowing quick drainage in summer. Angular crushed rock and a well-prepared base help prevent rutting and erosion; install proper drainage (swales, French drains) on slopes. Expect light annual maintenance like raking, topping up low spots, and clearing runoff channels after storms.
Yes. Hello Gravel connects customers in the Poway area with local suppliers and contracted haulers for bulk delivery, and many local landscapers or contractors offer combined delivery-plus-installation packages. Check availability for your zip code, request installation options at checkout, or contact our team to get contractor referrals.
Gravel surfaces can last 10 to 30 years depending on material, traffic, and maintenance; crushed rock driveways typically last longer than pea gravel. Expect periodic top-ups every 3 to 7 years and modest annual maintenance (weed control, edging, regrading), which usually costs much less than paved options but requires occasional upkeep. Lifespan and costs are lower than asphalt or concrete for initial expense but can require more frequent minor maintenance.
Local rules and HOAs often have specific design standards that can restrict color, material type, depth, or maximum exposed aggregate in front yards. Poway may require permits for driveway replacements that affect curb cuts, and HOAs can impose aesthetic rules. Always check with your HOA and the City of Poway Planning/Building department before ordering large quantities.
For erosion control on Poway slopes, angular crushed rock with a compacted base and erosion control fabric typically performs better because particles interlock and resist movement. Decomposed granite compacts well for low-gradient paths but can wash on steep slopes without terraces, edging, or vegetation. Combine material choice with grading, retaining features, and plantings for best long-term stability.
Large deliveries alone rarely require a permit, but driveway replacements, curb cuts, grading changes, or retaining walls usually need permits and inspections from the City of Poway. If delivery trucks will block the street or require special access, a traffic/encroachment permit or temporary parking permission may be needed. Contact Poway Building/Planning and your HOA early to confirm requirements and avoid delays.
Hello Gravel delivers to Poway via contracted dump trucks with a 3-ton minimum order; you can schedule a delivery date at checkout and see exact pricing for your zip code. Tailgate spreading may be possible but is performed at the driver's discretion and is not guaranteed, and next-day delivery is available if ordered before noon CST per company policy. Provide clear access, preferred drop location, and any permit or HOA details when placing your order.
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.
