Materials Available for Delivery
Crushed Concrete
Recycled concrete aggregate for construction & landscaping. Often used for road base and sub-base applications, as fill material, and for erosion control. Typically 1 ½” down to fines.
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.
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.
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.

Why Thousand Palms Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Thousand Palms is a community of 6,780 residents experiencing steady, measured change. A growth rate of 0.40% annually means construction and landscaping demand tends to be predictable rather than boom-driven, so homeowners and local contractors can plan projects with a longer timeline and more focus on durability and value. With 204 sunny days per year and 49.77 inches of annual rainfall in USDA hardiness zone 9a, the local climate combines strong sun exposure with significant seasonal moisture. That mix drives a need for a range of bulk materials—gravel, sand, dirt, stone, mulch and soil amendments—that perform under both drying and wetting cycles. Homeowners are increasingly prioritizing low-maintenance yards, resilient driveways, and erosion-resistant plant beds; contractors emphasize properly graded, locally sourced aggregates and stable base materials. In this environment, choosing quality bulk supplies matters: the right particle sizes, grading, and local composition reduce maintenance and extend the life of hardscapes, planting areas, and drainage features.Popular Projects in Thousand Palms This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Thousand Palms Gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in Thousand Palms.
Think in terms of the materials group: gravel, sand, dirt, stone. For thin landscape layers expect 2-4 inches depth; pathways and patios often need 3-6 inches of material over a compacted base, while driveways usually require 4-8 inches depending on expected vehicle loads. Use a material calculator to convert square feet and depth into tons, and remember our minimum order is 3 tons.
Standard delivery is 2+ business days, with a next-day option for orders placed before noon CST for an additional fee. Deliveries are made by contracted dump trucks (typically tri-axle) and our minimum order is 3 tons; tailgate spreading may be available at the driver’s discretion. Check your zip code (92276) at checkout to confirm supplier availability and any local delivery fees.
Thousand Palms is in a desert area where soils tend to be sandy with occasional clay pockets; this affects drainage and compaction. Choose materials that promote drainage for low spots and use coarser base layers under finer top layers where stability is needed. Consider grading, edging, and a compacted base to reduce settling and erosion in this climate.
Yes. Summers can be extremely hot and dusty, which makes handling, compaction, and establishment of plantings harder, so many installers prefer fall through spring. Rain is infrequent but can affect a recent installation if it occurs, so avoid scheduling immediately before rare storm forecasts. Plan deliveries for cooler parts of the day in summer and allow time for compaction and settling.
Permit and HOA requirements vary by project scope and neighborhood, so check with Riverside County, the city planning office, and your HOA before ordering materials. Minor decorative work often does not need a permit, but driveway expansions, major grading, or changes to curb cuts commonly do. Getting approvals first helps avoid removal or rework later.
Compare materials by upfront delivery and installation cost plus expected maintenance like replenishing, weeding, or regrading. Materials that drain well and resist movement may cost more initially but need less frequent topping up, while finer materials are cheaper up front but can require more maintenance. Factor in local climate impacts, installation complexity, and access when estimating total lifecycle cost.
Provide clear, unobstructed access for a tri-axle dump truck and a safe drop area that can support heavy loads. Remove vehicles, low-hanging branches, and obstacles, and mark the preferred drop location; if the truck cannot reach the exact spot, plan for wheelbarrow or small loader work. Protect finished surfaces and confirm whether you requested tailgate spreading, remembering the driver will assess feasibility on arrival.
Contractors should include material waste (typically 5-10%), haul distance, truck type, site access constraints, staging, compaction needs, and any permits or HOA coordination. Account for desert-specific needs like dust control, water for compaction if required, and scheduling around extreme heat. Confirm lead times, delivery windows, and whether tailgate spreading or additional equipment will be needed.
Due to regional sourcing, color, grain size, and texture can vary from supplier to supplier, so materials may not match photos exactly. These natural variations reflect local geology and are common across gravel, sand, dirt, and stone. You can note color preferences in order notes, but expect some variation and contact customer service if a delivered material is substantially different from what was requested.
Contact our team as soon as possible; changes are easiest before the order is dispatched and we make best efforts to accommodate requests. If there is an issue on delivery, report it promptly so we can work with the supplier and hauler to resolve it. See our refund and claims policy for details on how issues are handled.
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.
