Why Rialto Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Rialto has a city population of 96,980 and sits inside a metro area of 2.5+ million, with steady residential and commercial expansion driven by a growth rate of 0.70% annually. In Hardiness Zone 8b, local conditions include 228 sunny days per year and an annual rainfall of 34.25 inches, creating an environment where outdoor projects move year-round but must account for occasional heavy rains and significant sun exposure. That steady growth and climate mean homeowners frequently need durable aggregates for driveways, drainage, walkways, and landscape beds—projects that require materials that resist washout, manage runoff, and stand up to UV exposure. Quality gravel reduces maintenance, improves drainage, and provides a finished look that fits Rialto’s mix of suburban yards and new construction parcels.Popular Projects in Rialto This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Rialto gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in Rialto.
Material prices in the Rialto area typically range from about $30 to $80 per ton depending on type (pea gravel, crushed rock, decomposed granite) and availability. Hello Gravel lists clear material pricing and offers free delivery in many areas, with a minimum order of 3 tons and standard delivery in 2+ business days; next-day delivery is available for orders placed before noon CST for an extra fee. For basic installation or spreading, expect to pay contractors roughly $300 to $1,200 depending on project size and complexity; homeowner DIY spreading is much cheaper but requires more labor.
For Rialto's hot, dry climate and clay soils, crushed rock (3/4" or 3/8") and decomposed granite are popular because they compact well and resist displacement during wind and occasional heavy rains. Pea gravel is attractive and drains well but can migrate on clay or steep slopes unless contained with edging. Consider a geotextile or compacted base over clay soils to improve drainage and reduce mixing of soil and gravel.
Use this quick estimate based on 1 cubic yard ≈ 1.35 tons: a single-car driveway (10 x 20 ft) at 3 in depth needs about 2.5 to 3.5 tons; a two-car driveway (20 x 40 ft) at 3 in depth needs about 10 to 12 tons (4 in depth rises to about 15 to 18 tons); a 20 x 30 ft patio at 2 in depth needs roughly 4.5 to 6 tons. Always round up 10-15% for compaction, grading, and waste, and ask Hello Gravel to verify with your chosen depth and material.
Rialto homeowners are served by several San Bernardino County landscape supply yards and regional quarries, and Hello Gravel connects you to trusted local suppliers and haulers in the area. Typical bulk pricing for common gravels in the region runs about $30 to $80 per ton depending on size, type, and seasonal availability; delivery and local demand can shift those ranges, so get a quote for your zip code through Hello Gravel for precise pricing.
City and county rules vary, and some HOAs have design guidelines or restrictions on driveway materials and front-yard landscaping. Residential gravel driveways are generally allowed in Rialto, but you should check your HOA covenants and confirm with Rialto Planning or San Bernardino County building officials if you plan major grading, curb-cut changes, or drainage alterations. When in doubt, request a site-specific check before ordering materials to avoid rework or permit issues.
Rialto's hot, dry summers and occasional heavy winter storms mean gravel must handle both dust and sudden runoff. Use proper grading, edging, and a compacted base with geotextile fabric to prevent clay from mixing into the gravel, and install drainage swales or catch basins where runoff concentrates to reduce erosion. For sloped areas use terraces, retaining edges, or larger rock at the base to slow water and keep material in place.
Expect to rake and regrade high-traffic areas yearly and plan to top up gravel every 1 to 3 years depending on traffic and whether the area sees runoff or vehicle use. Apply pre-emergent weed control annually and refill low spots after storms; periodic light compaction after topping helps keep the surface stable. For best longevity install proper edging and a compacted base at the start to cut down on ongoing maintenance.
Gravel is usually the lowest upfront cost per square foot and easiest to install, with typical installed prices well below asphalt and concrete; however it requires periodic replenishment and more frequent maintenance. Asphalt and concrete have higher initial costs but longer service lives and lower routine topping needs, while pavers have the highest upfront cost and easiest spot repairs. For Rialto's climate and clay soils, gravel can be the most cost-effective short-term solution, but factor in annual maintenance and drainage work when comparing lifetime costs.
Measure the area and desired depth, then use Hello Gravel's material calculator or contact the sales team to confirm tons needed; minimum order is 3 tons. Select a delivery date, note any access constraints in Order Notes, request tailgate spreading if desired (driver discretion, no guarantee), and check local HOA or permit needs before delivery to avoid delays.
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.
