Known for its natural look, this compact, durable material drains well and holds up in high-traffic areas.

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.

Why South El Monte Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
South El Monte’s city population is 107,031, and the surrounding metro area population is 2.5+ million. With a steady growth rate of 0.70% annually, the area supports ongoing residential and light commercial work that drives steady demand for aggregates. The local climate—about 228 sunny days per year, 34.25 inches of annual rainfall, and hardiness zone 8b—creates projects that need materials able to handle both sun exposure and periodic heavy rain. Homeowners look for gravel to stabilize driveways, improve yard drainage, create low-maintenance landscape beds, and define walkways because it reduces erosion, improves run-off management, and complements drought-tolerant plantings. Reliable access to the right size and texture of gravel keeps projects on schedule and avoids costly reorders during busy construction periods. Gravel choices for South El Monte should prioritize drainage and durability: washed, angular stone sizes shed water effectively after 34.25 inches of annual rain while decorative rounded gravels resist UV fade across 228 sunny days. Typical uses include 3/4" crushed gravel for driveways, 1/2"–1" washed stone for French drains and trenches, and pea gravel for patios and play areas. Hello Gravel connects you with local suppliers and professional dump-truck delivery, offers transparent pricing and scheduling, and helps match regionally sourced gravel to your project so you get the right material on the right day.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.
Delivered gravel prices in South El Monte typically range depending on type: expect roughly $40 to $120 per ton for common materials (base gravel on the low end, decorative on the high end). Hello Gravel has a minimum order of 3 tons and most quotes include delivery; final price depends on gravel type, quantity, and truck access at your address.
For hot, dry conditions around South El Monte, crushed rock (3/4" minus or 3/4" crushed stone) is a popular choice for driveways because it compacts well and resists rutting. Decomposed granite (DG) and small decorative gravels work well for pathways and xeriscaping, but DG may need occasional re-compaction or stabilizer in heavy-use areas.
Hello Gravel sources materials from a network of trusted local suppliers and quarries serving the San Gabriel Valley and greater Los Angeles area, so materials reflect local geology and are available for delivery to South El Monte. To see exact supplier options for your zip code, enter your address on our site or contact our team and we will list local material choices and pricing.
Use this rule: cubic yards = (square feet x depth in inches) / 324, then multiply cubic yards by about 1.4 to convert to tons. For example, 1,000 sq ft at 2" depth = (1,000 x 2) / 324 = 6.17 yd3, or about 8.6 tons; at 4" depth you would need about 12.3 yd3 or 17.2 tons. Always round up and add 5-10% for compaction and waste.
Permit and HOA rules can vary in South El Monte and across neighborhoods, so check with the City of South El Monte Building/Planning department and your HOA before starting. Common issues include driveway apron changes, drainage or curb cuts that may require permits, so confirm requirements early to avoid fines or rework.
Crushed gravel is more durable for driveways and high-traffic areas and typically needs minor maintenance (raking and top-up) every 1 to 3 years and regrading every 3 to 7 years depending on use. Decomposed granite is great for walkways and low-traffic areas but can break down faster in heavy use or after drought/wet cycles; expect light maintenance or re-compaction every 1 to 3 years.
Hello Gravel offers standard delivery in 2+ business days and next-day delivery for orders placed before noon CST for an additional fee; same-day delivery may be possible in South El Monte depending on local supplier and truck availability, so contact us early to check. Equipment like compactors, skid steers and rental spreaders are available from local rental centers in the San Gabriel Valley, and drivers may perform tailgate spreading at their discretion—request spreading in your order notes.
Measure your area carefully, pick a material suited to Southern California conditions, and include clear access notes and photos at checkout so drivers can assess drop-off. Because materials are regionally sourced, add color or texture preferences in Order Notes, and contact our team if you need help calculating quantities or arranging special delivery instructions.
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.
