Why Rancho Del Rey Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Rancho Del Rey, with a city population of 15,000 and connected to a metro area of 2.3+ million, is experiencing steady residential growth and steady demand for home improvement materials as the area expands at 2.50% annually. The local climate—USDA hardiness zone 8b with about 228 sunny days per year and 33.20 inches of annual rainfall—supports year-round outdoor projects but also creates seasonal runoff and soil compaction issues that affect landscaping and driveways. Homeowners here commonly need reliable aggregates for driveway beds, walkways, French drains, and erosion control; selecting the right gravel size and texture helps control drainage, reduce dust during long sunny stretches, and hold up to intermittent rain events. Gravel works particularly well in Rancho Del Rey because its permeability helps manage the 33.20 inches of annual rainfall while resisting washout during storms and minimizing muddy patches between sunny periods. Appropriately graded gravel also reflects local geology, which means color and texture will vary; Hello Gravel connects you with local suppliers who source regionally, offers clear quantity guidance, and schedules professional dump-truck delivery so you get the right material for your project with minimal hassle.Popular Projects in Rancho Del Rey This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Rancho Del Rey gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in Rancho Del Rey.
One full tri-axle dump truck serving Rancho Del Rey typically carries about 10 to 12 cubic yards of gravel, which is roughly 12 to 16 tons depending on the material. Hello Gravel has a 3-ton minimum order; suppliers in our California region price either per ton or per truckload, so contact us for an exact delivered price and availability.
Costs vary with width, depth, gravel type, and local delivery fees, so there is no single price. To estimate, calculate the required volume (length x width x depth), convert to cubic yards and tons, then request a local quote through Hello Gravel for material and delivery pricing specific to Rancho Del Rey.
One cubic yard is 27 cubic feet and will cover about 324 sq ft at 1 inch depth, 162 sq ft at 2 inches, 108 sq ft at 3 inches, and 81 sq ft at 4 inches. In Rancho Del Rey projects, most driveways and paths use 2 to 4 inches of gravel; one cubic yard of typical gravel equals roughly 1.3 tons, though regional material density may vary slightly.
The most cost-effective options are ordering in bulk (meet the 3-ton minimum), choosing locally common aggregates, and scheduling standard delivery rather than rush service. You can also combine orders with neighbors or contractors to share a truck and use Hello Gravel to compare local supplier quotes for the best delivered price.
First, decide your driveway width and depth and use the formula: (length x width x depth in feet) / 27 = cubic yards, then multiply by about 1.3 to get tons. For example, a 20 ft long by 10 ft wide driveway at 3 inches depth is about 1.85 cubic yards, or roughly 2.4 to 2.6 tons, so you would meet Hello Gravel's 3-ton minimum with a slightly larger or shared order.
In Rancho Del Rey's California climate, crushed rock (3/4" minus) is a common base for driveways because it locks and drains well, while 3/8" or pea gravel is better for top dressing and walkways. Regional sourcing means color and texture vary; tell us your use (driveway, drainage, pathway) and we can recommend locally available mixes and coverage details.
As of today, we require 2 business days for delivery.
Use our material calculator here: https://hellogravel.com/calculator/ to enter the length, width and depth measurements of your project. It will automatically calculate the cubic yards/tons needed. If you are unsure how much to order, contact our team for guidance.

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.
We specialize in making the aggregate buying process as easy and seamless as possible by managing the process from end to end. We have a network of suppliers that we source the materials from where we have negotiated rates. However, we do charge a markup and because of this you may be able to find the materials cheaper on your own. But if you want a hassle free experience, then we are for you!
