Gravel: Weather-Resistant Drainage For Simi Valley • Expert Gravel Guidance From Local Specialists
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.
Walkway Gravel
A smaller ⅜” crushed stone that is great for paths, patios, and garden walkways. Comfortable under foot thanks to its smaller size, and creates a beautiful garden-like atmosphere.
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.
Driveway Gravel
A ¾”-1” clean, crushed stone ideal for rejuvenating worn down gravel driveways, or for installing a fresh new driveway on your property. Aesthetically pleasing and functional!

Why Simi Valley Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Simi Valley has a city population of 118,580 and sits in a temperate West California landscape that is expanding steadily at a rate of 0.40% annually. With 228 sunny days per year, moderate annual rainfall of 34.25 inches, and a USDA hardiness zone of 8b, the area supports active outdoor living, landscaping, and home improvement projects. That steady growth and favorable climate drive demand for durable, low-maintenance materials for yards, driveways, walkways, and erosion control. Homeowners in this market often need aggregates that stand up to strong sun, manage seasonal runoff, and match local soil and slope conditions. Choosing the right gravel — from angular crushed stone for compaction to rounded rock for aesthetic paths — makes a noticeable difference in performance and maintenance. Gravel is well suited to Simi Valley’s mix of sun and seasonal rain: it improves drainage around foundations, stabilizes slopes against erosion, and keeps pathways usable after storms by shedding water rather than holding it. Local gravel varieties reflect nearby geology, so color and angularity can vary — a design plus for matching landscape styles but something to check before ordering. Hello Gravel connects homeowners with trusted local suppliers and professional haulers, simplifying material selection, scheduling, and delivery so you get the gravel best matched to the local soil, climate, and project goals.Popular Projects in Simi Valley This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Simi Valley gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in Simi Valley.
Prices vary by material type and supplier, but expect a typical delivered price range of about $40 to $80 per ton for common landscape gravel in the Simi Valley area. Per-yard pricing (1 cubic yard = roughly 1.2 to 1.4 tons depending on material) usually works out similarly when converted; final price depends on stone size, local availability, and delivery distance. Hello Gravel has a 3-ton minimum and displays upfront pricing at checkout for your zip code.
Crushed stone (3/4" to 1") and decomposed granite blends perform well because they lock together and resist shifting in dry conditions. Pea gravel and river rock are good for drainage and aesthetics but can migrate more on slopes and high-traffic areas. Regional sourcing matters, so expect local color and texture variations that suit Ventura County conditions.
As a general estimate: a 2-car driveway (about 20 ft x 20 ft) at 3" depth needs roughly 3 to 4 tons; a 1,000 sq ft patio at 2" depth needs about 8 to 10 tons; and a 100 ft pathway 3 ft wide at 2" depth needs about 2 to 3 tons. These are ballpark figures—soil type, compaction, and preferred depth change quantities, so use Hello Gravel’s calculator or request a quote for a precise amount.
Hello Gravel connects you with local suppliers and haulers that serve Simi Valley, and delivery minimums are typically 3 tons through our platform. Specific supplier names, exact minimums, and fees vary by zip code and material; check pricing on Hello Gravel or contact our team to see which vetted suppliers serve your address. We list delivery fees, processing times, and material options during checkout.
Gravel longevity depends on use: low-traffic landscape beds can last many years with occasional topping every 3 to 7 years, while driveways and high-traffic paths usually need top-ups every 2 to 5 years. Larger river rock or crushed stone resists displacement longer than pea gravel, which can scatter and require more frequent replenishing. Heavy rain events, erosion, and vehicle traffic increase maintenance needs.
Gravel is usually the most cost-effective upfront option and drains well, but it can rut and needs more maintenance than pavers. Decomposed granite gives a smoother, near-paved look with moderate cost and good permeability, but it may compact and wash in heavy flows. Pavers are the most durable and low-maintenance long term but come with higher material and installation costs and less natural permeability unless porous pavers are used.
For a permeable gravel driveway, contractors commonly recommend a compacted subbase of 4 to 6 inches of crushed rock plus 2 to 3 inches of top gravel or angular stone to reduce rutting. Use geotextile fabric to separate soil and base, add edge restraints, and ensure proper drainage grade away from structures. Walkways can be shallower (2 to 4 inches top material over a compacted base) but still benefit from edging and fabric.
Local rules can vary: Ventura County and several Simi Valley HOAs encourage drought-tolerant landscaping, and gravel is often allowed as a low-water option, but some HOAs have design standards or color restrictions. Always check your HOA guidelines and Simi Valley municipal codes before ordering material. If in doubt, request documentation or call our sales team for guidance on local expectations.
Labor rates vary by scope, but expect installation costs roughly in the range of $2 to $5 per square foot for simple spread-and-level jobs, and $4 to $10+ per square foot when including excavation, base installation, fabric, and edging. Contractors may also charge by the ton for hauling and spreading; get at least two local quotes for an accurate price. Hello Gravel can connect you with local suppliers, but labor is generally contracted separately.
Angular crushed rock mixes with a range of sizes (a well-graded mix such as 3/4" minus or 1/2" to 1") lock together and resist erosion better than smooth river rock. Use larger rock at the top and toe of slopes, combine with erosion control fabric and native plants, and consider retention terraces or check dams for steep areas. Pea gravel alone is not ideal on slopes because it can roll; mix it with firmer crushed stone or use stabilizers for steeper terrain.
Provide clear delivery notes and photos of the drop area at checkout so haulers can assess truck access and overhead clearance; Hello Gravel requires a 3-ton minimum and typically delivers by tri-axle dump truck. Request tailgate spreading at checkout, but note drivers perform spreading at their discretion and it is not guaranteed. If possible, mark the intended drop zone and remove obstacles to speed unloading and reduce additional fees.
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.
