Why Toluca Lake Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Toluca Lake is a compact community of 355 residents situated in a West California metro area of 2.5+ million people. With a steady growth rate of 0.70% annually and a climate that averages 228 sunny days and 34.25 inches of rain per year in USDA hardiness zone 8b, local landscaping and small-scale construction work are common as homeowners refresh yards and outdoor living spaces. Even in a small city, demand for dependable aggregates like gravel comes from needs for improved drainage, erosion control on sloped lots, low-maintenance pathways, and durable driveway bases. Homeowners prioritize consistent size, color, and reliable delivery so finished projects withstand wet winters and prolonged sunny periods. Gravel is well suited to Toluca Lake’s environment: its permeability helps manage 34.25 inches of annual rainfall while stable, angular mixes resist washout during heavy storms and limit dust through 228 sunny days. For driveways, French drains, garden paths, and xeriscape beds in hardiness zone 8b soils, gravel provides erosion resistance and long-term stability. Hello Gravel connects homeowners to local suppliers and professional dump-truck haulers, offering regionally sourced materials that reflect local geology, transparent pricing, and scheduled delivery. Standard delivery requires 2+ business days, with a next-day option available for orders placed before noon CST for an additional fee.Popular Projects in Toluca Lake This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Toluca Lake gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in Toluca Lake.
Toluca Lake is in Southern California, so most suppliers source materials regionally, which means you’ll commonly see tan and brown crushed stone, decomposed granite, and rounded river rock. Local materials tend to be drought-friendly and well suited to dry, warm weather; tell us your color and texture preference in Order Notes so we can match local stock.
Much of Toluca Lake’s shoreline is residential or private, and work near the water or public right-of-way may require city permits. For typical yard and driveway projects on private property you can use gravel freely, but check local rules and talk to our team before placing material that affects the lake or public space.
Both types are available in the Toluca Lake area. Natural river rock is rounded and decorative, while crushed stone (angular) locks together for driveways and paths; ask for washed or screened material if you want fewer fines and less dust.
Yes — fine pea gravel or small washed aggregate can work well around pools and for backyard paths because it drains well and looks tidy. Avoid large, sharp stones near barefoot areas and ask for washed material to minimize dust and tracking into the pool.
Design trends like clean gravel beds, xeriscape layouts, and accent boulders are popular across Toluca Lake and can be scaled to any budget. You can order decorative gravels and specify color/size preferences to achieve a high-end look without hiring a full landscape crew.
Toluca Lake has narrow residential streets and some private driveways, so deliveries use tri-axle dump trucks and drivers will assess access on arrival. Note our minimum order is 3 tons, include delivery notes (access limits, gate codes) at checkout, and remember tailgate spreading is performed at the driver’s discretion.
Yes — permeable gravel with the right subbase encourages infiltration and reduces surface runoff compared to impermeable hardscapes. For best results combine gravel with proper grading, edging, and a compacted base; never push material into storm drains or the lake.
Washed and screened gravels have most fines removed and produce less dust, making them better for patios, walkways, and pool surrounds. Decorative river rock and larger crushed aggregate also track less than fine decomposed granite, but your choice should match the project and traffic level.
Yes — replacing turf with gravel and drought-tolerant plants cuts irrigation needs dramatically and fits the Mediterranean climate around Toluca Lake. Pair gravel with native or low-water plants and drip irrigation for the biggest savings and lowest maintenance.
Local demand and delivery logistics can influence price, but Hello Gravel negotiates rates with local suppliers and shows transparent pricing at checkout. Keep in mind our minimum order is 3 tons and standard delivery is 2+ business days; next-day options may cost more.
Contact our team as soon as possible — we do our best to accommodate changes before the order is dispatched. Once a load is assigned to a hauler changes may be limited, so reach out quickly with any updates.
Use this quick rule: cubic yards = (square feet × depth in inches) / 324. For example, a 10 ft by 20 ft area at 2 inches deep is about 1.23 cubic yards (roughly 1.6 tons), but our minimum order is 3 tons, so you may order extra or combine with other nearby work to use the full load.
As of today, we require 2 business days for delivery.
Use our material calculator here: https://hellogravel.com/calculator/ to enter the length, width and depth measurements of your project. It will automatically calculate the cubic yards/tons needed. If you are unsure how much to order, contact our team for guidance.
Please type in your zip code on any product screen and it will let you know if we service your area. The chances are that we do!
The material will be delivered via dump truck. If your order is under 20 tons, then it will likely be just one dump truck load. If your order is more than 20 tons, it will be more than one dump truck load.

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.

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.
