#57 Crushed Stone
Multi-use crushed stone for home & landscape projects. Ranging from ¾” to 1” in size, #57 stone is a versatile product used for concrete production, drainage applications, driveways, parking lots, and as base material under slabs and footings. Large enough to provide drainage but small enough to lock together when applied and create a stable base and a relatively smooth surface.
Drain Rock
A larger 1 ½” crushed gravel that allows for water flow and drainage, preventing accumulation and pooling when properly installed. Perfect for french drains and other drainage applications, around utility lines, septic systems, sump pump basins and drainage pits.
3/8″ Crushed Stone
(#89 Stone) A smaller crushed stone perfect for walkways and more decorative applications. Pathways will come to life with garden-like aesthetics and be comfortable under foot. Also suitable for various groundcover applications, as an underlayment for patio paver and turf projects, for playground surfacing and for filling gaps between larger stones.
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.
Topsoil
High-grade soil enriched with organic matter. Perfect for landscaping, lawn establishment and repair, and for improving existing soil.
Fulfillment:
Should never be fulfilled with material that does not include an organic component, though organic components should be small.
2-10% organic is ideal

Why South El Monte Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
South El Monte homeowners operate in a market where the city population is 107,031 and the broader metro area includes 7.9+ million people. A steady growth rate of 0.40% annually signals consistent demand for home improvement, repair, and small-scale construction projects rather than a boom or a decline. In a climate with 204 sunny days per year, 49.77 inches of annual rainfall, and classified as USDA hardiness zone 9a, material choices must balance sun exposure and significant seasonal moisture. That means selecting bulk supplies that resist UV degradation, shed water effectively, and support year-round planting and hardscape stability. Whether you are resurfacing pathways, building raised beds, topping beds with organic material, or preparing pad areas for structures, homeowners benefit from materials that consider durability, drainage, and local appearance—all supplied in quantities that fit typical yard jobs or contractor orders.Popular Projects in South El Monte This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - South El Monte Gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in South El Monte.
Delivery cost varies by material type, order size, distance from the supplier, local trucking rates, and any site access challenges. Additional charges can include permit fees, offloading assistance, or disposal of excavated material. Hello Gravel shows transparent pricing during checkout, and you can get an exact quote by entering your ZIP code and project details.
Choose materials that promote drainage and resist sun degradation; lighter-colored, well-draining aggregates typically stay cooler and need less upkeep. Consider how mixes of gravel, sand, dirt, stone and surface treatments will affect water use and weed growth. Our material quiz and team can help match options to your climate and maintenance preferences.
Many exterior projects and large deliveries can be subject to city permits, street-blocking rules, or HOA design guidelines. Check with South El Monte city planning or your HOA before scheduling a delivery, especially for curbside offloads or projects that alter drainage or hardscape. If in doubt, request delivery details and permit guidance when you order.
Hello Gravel works with local suppliers that serve 91733 and surrounding East San Gabriel Valley ZIP codes, but availability depends on supplier routes and inventory. Use our ZIP code checker on the site to confirm service to your address. If your ZIP is outside the normal route, we can often find a nearby supplier or schedule a wider-area delivery.
In South El Monte’s climate, spring through fall is generally best for large deliveries to avoid winter rains and scheduling delays. Summer deliveries are possible but consider early-morning delivery to reduce heat-related handling issues and dust. Plan ahead and book at least a few business days out during busy landscaping seasons to secure trucks and preferred dates.
Local soils can range from clay to sandy loam, which affects drainage and compaction needs; poor drainage often means you should prioritize permeable, well-draining aggregates and proper base preparation. Gravel, sand, dirt, stone and similar materials perform differently over various soils, so consider drainage swales, slope, and a compacted base for driveways and paths. If you suspect drainage problems, mention them when ordering so suppliers can recommend suitable materials and quantities.
Typical small projects like garden beds or pathways often start at the 3-ton minimum and may range from 3 to 10 tons depending on area and depth. Driveway resurfacing or larger yard regrades commonly require 10 to 40 tons, while full property renovations can exceed 50 tons. Use our material calculator for a site-specific estimate and remember minimum order sizes and truck capacities affect final quantities.
Standard delivery is usually 2+ business days, and next-day delivery may be available for orders placed before noon CST for an additional fee. Same-day delivery is occasionally possible depending on supplier availability and distance, but is not guaranteed. Schedule early and check the checkout calendar for the soonest available dates for your ZIP code.
Local suppliers often have lower short-haul fees and more flexible scheduling, while regional suppliers may charge more for longer haul distances but offer greater inventory. Hello Gravel’s minimum order is typically 3 tons and most deliveries use tri-axle dump trucks, which have practical weight and access limits for residential streets. Ask for a detailed breakdown of delivery, offload, and any permit-related fees when you get a quote.
Compare durability, maintenance needs, cost, drainage performance, and appearance for each material option, and weigh those factors against the specific use (driveway, path, garden bed) and local climate. Also consider installation requirements, long-term upkeep, and whether the material is locally sourced, which affects color and texture. Use our material guide, calculator, and sales team to match project goals to the best aggregate choices.
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. Enter your zip code on our site, select how much material you need (see below FAQ’s to determine order size), select the date and time frame you would like your material delivered at Checkout, and place your order with any major credit card. 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. On delivery day, a dump truck will arrive to dump the materials at your specified location. 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!
No, because we are a national supplier, we utilize our existing network of suppliers across the country. Therefore, the materials will likely be delivered from a contracted trucking company.
We specialize in making the aggregate buying process as easy and seamless as possible by managing the process from end to end. We have a network of suppliers that we source the materials from where we have negotiated rates. However, we do charge a markup and because of this you may be able to find the materials cheaper on your own. But if you want a hassle free experience, then we are for you!
