Why Seal Beach Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Seal Beach is a coastal community of 21,900 residents within a growing West California metro of 2.5+ million. With an annual growth rate of 1.00% and a temperate, sunny climate (228 sunny days annually, 34.25 inches of annual rainfall, USDA hardiness zone 8b), homeowners and contractors are balancing coastal exposure with steady development. New landscaping, patio retrofits, driveway repairs, and small construction projects are common as residents refresh properties and adapt to seaside conditions. That steady local activity creates ongoing demand for reliable aggregates like gravel—used for drainage, erosion control, permeable surfacing, and decorative beds. Homeowners seek quality gravel to prevent washouts, reduce upkeep, and support drought-tolerant plantings suited to the climate. Clear quantities, material type, and delivery timing matter for projects in tight residential lots and busy streets.Popular Projects in Seal Beach This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Seal Beach gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in Seal Beach.
For coastal Seal Beach, resin-bound surfaces, polymeric stabilizers, and specialty penetrating binders are commonly recommended because they resist wind-blown sand and tolerate salt air better than simple surface coatings. Resin-bound systems lock small aggregate into a hard, permeable surface, while polymeric stabilizers bind existing gravel and reduce migration and dust. Talk with a local contractor about UV- and salt-resistant product formulations and ask for project references in similar coastal conditions.
Costs vary by method and driveway size: chipseal or surface coatings are usually the least expensive, polymeric stabilization is midrange, and resin-bound systems are the most expensive. As a rough guide, expect a broad range from a few dollars per square foot for basic stabilizers up to $8–$12 per square foot for high-end resin systems, but actual prices depend on site prep, access, and local labor. For a firm price tailored to your driveway, get an on-site quote from local contractors and request material pricing through Hello Gravel.
Angular, crushed aggregates with a good mix of fines are best for stabilization; examples include crush-and-run, crushed limestone, and properly graded crushed rock. Smooth river pebbles or round beach rock do not bind well without heavy modification, so they are rarely suitable for a hardened surface. Proper compaction and the right stabilizer (resin or polymer) are critical to achieve a firm, concrete-like finish.
When applied correctly over a compacted base, stabilizers and resin systems can reduce dust and gravel migration significantly, often by 70–95% depending on product and traffic. They do not always eliminate all dust, especially in windy, sandy coastal areas like Seal Beach, and performance declines over time without maintenance. Contractors can include dust-control measures in their quotes, so request a written plan for initial application and ongoing upkeep.
Yes. In California it is generally illegal to take rocks, sand, or shells from public beaches or protected coastal areas, and Seal Beach enforces local and state regulations to protect the shoreline. Always assume beach materials are off-limits and use legally quarried or recycled decorative gravel instead. Ask suppliers for provenance or chain-of-custody information to confirm material is legally sourced.
Hello Gravel connects you with local suppliers who provide legally sourced decorative gravels and organizes delivery by dump truck to Seal Beach addresses. Check your zip code on the site to see available materials, note the 3-ton minimum order, and choose a delivery date; standard delivery is 2+ business days, and next-day options are available for orders placed before noon CST for an extra fee. Add special delivery notes for driveway access, gates, or tailgate spreading requests; drivers may spread at their discretion but it is not guaranteed.
In coastal, salty environments, sealed gravel surfaces commonly last 3–7 years before requiring major refresh or reapplication, depending on product, traffic, and maintenance. Warranties vary by product and installer, and in many cases limited warranties cover material defects but not wear from salt, UV, or improper maintenance. Ask suppliers and contractors for written warranty details and a recommended maintenance schedule for coastal exposures.
A full-service quote typically includes site evaluation, grading and base preparation, compaction, materials, spreading and finishing, cleanup, and disposal of old material if needed. For sealing jobs it should also list the specific product, coverage rate, curing time, and recommended maintenance. Hello Gravel can supply the materials and help connect you with local contractors who provide turnkey installation—request line-item pricing so you can compare material versus labor costs.
Salt accelerates binder breakdown, attracts moisture, and can corrode metal fixtures, so products need to be selected for coastal durability. Resin-bound systems and coastal-grade polymers with UV inhibitors tend to perform better than basic emulsions, but all sealers will need more frequent maintenance near the ocean. Ask suppliers for products tested for salt spray or coastal use and plan for more frequent inspections and touch-ups.
Measure the area in square feet and decide the depth in inches, then use the quick conversion: tons = (area x depth) / 324. For example, a 1,000 sq ft driveway at 2 inches depth needs about 6.2 tons, so round up to the next whole ton and account for compaction and waste. Use Hello Gravel's material calculator or contact our sales team with your measurements and project notes to get a firm quote, remembering there is a 3-ton minimum 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.
