3/8″ Natural Pea Gravel
Decorative and functional landscaping gravel. Small, naturally rounded stones create an aesthetic appeal when used for pathways, plant beds and garden borders. Also great for water features, rock gardens, dog runs and playground surfacing.
Brown Shredded Mulch
Shredded bark and wood from trees like oak, hickory, and maple, used for landscaping and gardening applications. Provides moisture retention in your soil, weed suppression, temperature regulation for plants, and the gradual addition of organic matter as it decomposes slowly over time. Adds a beautiful, finished look to your home’s exterior.
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.
Compost
Premium compost packed with organic nutrients—perfect for revitalizing tired soil and supporting strong, healthy plant growth. Ideal for mixing into garden beds, raised beds, and landscapes needing a natural boost.
River Rock
Naturally rounded, decorative stone for landscaping, garden beds, and water features. Typically 1-2” in size, with options for larger sizes upon request. Comes in a variety of colors that vary based on location and natural stone availability, so please be sure to specify if you have color preferences.

Why Signal Hill Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Signal Hill (population 10,000) is a compact, steadily growing community inside a larger metro of 7.9+ million. A growth rate of 0.40% annually signals measured, ongoing demand for housing updates, yard renovations, and smaller-scale construction projects rather than a rapid building boom. The area’s climate—204 sunny days per year combined with 49.77 inches of annual rainfall and a USDA hardiness zone of 9a—creates a landscape profile where both drought-tolerant and water-management materials are important. Homeowners here often balance sun exposure with periodic heavy rains, so bulk materials that support proper drainage, erosion control, and heat resilience play a central role. That makes access to quality aggregates, sand, dirt, mulch, and other supplies essential: they form the foundation for patios, permeable driveways, garden beds, and site grading that stand up to local conditions. Signal Hill’s mix of sunny stretches and substantial annual rainfall creates a set of practical challenges for material performance. Soil compaction, seasonal runoff, and UV exposure influence how well different aggregates and organic materials hold up over time. For homeowners, this means selecting materials designed for local drainage and moisture cycles—porous aggregates for stormwater management, stable base materials for long-term compaction control, and organic mulches that retain moisture without promoting rot. Hello Gravel helps by connecting customers to locally sourced suppliers and haulers who understand these conditions, offering transparent pricing, delivery scheduling, and tools to estimate quantities so homeowners can choose the right combination of materials for durability and local performance.Popular Projects in Signal Hill This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Signal Hill Gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in Signal Hill.
Some local municipalities and nonprofits occasionally offer free mulch or soil pickup events, but availability varies. Hello Gravel does not provide municipal giveaways; check city programs and request delivery quotes on our site to compare paid options and any free community resources.
Prices depend on material type, quantity, delivery distance, and local supply. Use our online quote tool to get an exact price for your zip code (90755); the quote includes any delivery fees and lets you compare materials side by side.
For medium and large projects, buying bulk is almost always more cost-effective than bagged materials because you pay less packaging and handling. For very small jobs, bagged product can be more convenient, so weigh the total cost against how much you need and whether you can store leftover material.
Convert area and desired depth to cubic yards. For example, 500 sq ft at 3 inches deep is about 4.6 cubic yards; that typically equals roughly 4 to 6 tons depending on the material's density. Use our material calculator for precise results and to account for compaction or waste.
Depth depends on purpose: weed suppression and mulch-style covers often use 2 to 4 inches, while base layers for paths and driveways may require several inches of compactable material. Check your project needs and ask our team for guidance—different materials perform best at different depths.
Consider load, drainage, maintenance, and appearance: choose compactable, durable mixes for driveways, smoother material for walking paths, and lighter, organic-friendly material for garden beds. Our site groups gravel, sand, dirt, and stone so you can compare how each performs for your specific use and local climate.
Hello Gravel partners with local suppliers and contracted haulers who use professional dump truck fleets, typically tri-axle trucks, to deliver materials to Signal Hill. Trucks are not Hello Gravel-branded; we coordinate the pickup, timing, and delivery logistics for you.
Standard delivery is 2+ business days at no extra fee. Next-day delivery may be available for orders placed before noon CST for an additional fee; select your preferred delivery date at checkout and we'll confirm availability for Signal Hill.
Drivers may be able to do tailgate spreading at their discretion, but it's not guaranteed and depends on site conditions and safety. Request spreading when you check out, and the driver will assess whether it can be done safely upon arrival.
Clear the drop area of vehicles, toys, and low branches; mark the preferred drop spot and protect soft surfaces or landscaping you want to keep safe. Make sure trucks can access the site and let us know about special requirements or permit needs before delivery.
Natural materials vary by region, so texture and color may differ from photos. If you have color or texture preferences, note them at checkout and contact customer service promptly if the delivered material doesn't meet your expectations so we can help resolve the issue.
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.
Hassle Free! Our goal is to make the buying process for gravel and other aggregates as easy and seamless as possible.

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.

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!
