Gravel: Built For San Fernando Drainage • Choose Your Gravel Delivery Date
Decomposed Granite
Known for its natural look, this compact, durable material drains well and holds up in high-traffic areas. Made from crushed and weathered granite down to a mix of fine gravel and sand—best for patios, paths, driveways, and landscape projects. Can range in color from light brown and tan to reddish and gray, depending on the natural stone color in the region.
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 San Fernando Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
San Fernando has a city population of 29,977 and sits inside a wider region with a metro area population of 2.5+ million. The city’s steady expansion—growing at about 0.70% annually—combined with 230 sunny days per year and an annual rainfall of 38.15 inches creates a local environment where both new construction and yard-scale remodels are common. Homeowners and small contractors here are balancing sun-tolerant, water-wise landscaping with storm-season drainage needs, so demand for dependable aggregates is consistent. Gravel, with its permeability and structural stability, is frequently chosen to manage runoff, create low-maintenance driveways, and form stable bases for patios and pavers. Because projects in San Fernando must tolerate sun, periodic heavy rain, and local soil conditions tied to hardiness zone 8b, buyers look for reliable material sizing, consistent delivery, and clear guidance on quantities and placement.Popular Projects in San Fernando This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - San Fernando gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in San Fernando.
Retail and delivery pricing varies by type and supplier, but common ranges for San Fernando are roughly $50 to $120 per ton for standard crushed gravels, and $80 to $150 per ton for decorative river rock or specialty materials. Local availability, truck access, and delivery distance can change the final price, so it is best to get an online quote for your zip code or contact our team for a current price.
For San Fernando's hot, dry climate, decomposed granite and angular crushed rock perform well because they lock together and resist movement. River rock and pea gravel are attractive but can migrate and retain heat differently; pea gravel can also be dustier unless washed, so choose based on use (paths vs decorative beds vs driveways).
Use this quick rule: cubic yards = (area in sq ft * depth in inches) / 324, then multiply cubic yards by about 1.4 to convert to tons. For 100 sq ft: 2" = ~0.86 tons, 3" = ~1.30 tons, 4" = ~1.73 tons. For a typical 2-car driveway (about 600-800 sq ft) expect roughly 6.5 to 11 tons at 3" depth, depending on exact size.
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.
