Why Twentynine Palms Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Twentynine Palms is a small but steadily growing community of 19,235 residents in West California, where measured expansion (0.40% annually) and a sunny, arid landscape shape local building and landscaping needs. With 228 sunny days a year, 34.25 inches of annual rainfall, and a hardiness zone of 8b, homeowners and contractors face a mix of intense sun and episodic rain that affects soil stability, erosion, and plant choices. That combination drives demand for reliable aggregates: gravel for pathways, driveways, drainage trenches, and erosion control. Local projects often need material that resists washout during heavy showers, reduces dust under hot sun, and compacts well for driving surfaces — all reasons homeowners look for quality, locally sourced gravel that fits Twentynine Palms' unique climate and geology.Popular Projects in Twentynine Palms This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Twentynine Palms gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in Twentynine Palms.
Delivered gravel costs vary with material, distance, and supplier; remote desert areas like Twentynine Palms often run higher than urban centers. Expect small residential deliveries (minimum 3 tons) to range from roughly $30 to $80 per ton delivered depending on type and haul; total jobs commonly fall in the low hundreds to a few hundred dollars. For an exact quote and available next-day or standard delivery windows, check your zip code on Hello Gravel or contact our team.
Angular crushed stone (3/4" crushed) and decomposed granite (DG) are strong choices in hot, dry climates because they lock together and compact well, resisting movement. DG works great for pathways and xeriscaping, while crushed 3/4" stone is better for driveways and high-traffic areas; pea gravel is decorative but tends to shift and can feel looser underfoot. Color choices matter too: lighter stones reflect heat better than dark rock.
Twentynine Palms sits on desert soils and alluvial washes that can be sandy or loosely compacted, so you often need a deeper, well-compacted base than in firmer clay soils. Typical recommendations are a compacted base of 4" to 8" for driveways depending on traffic, plus a top wearing layer; areas over historic wash or soft spots may need geotextile fabric and thicker base. Proper compaction with a plate compactor or roller is important to prevent rutting and washout during seasonal flash rains.
A common two-car driveway footprint (about 20' by 40' = 800 sq ft) needs roughly 9.9 to 14.8 cubic yards for 4" to 6" of material. Using a typical conversion (about 1.3 tons per cubic yard for crushed rock), that equals about 13 to 19 tons; if you prefer a slightly deeper base in soft desert soil, plan on 15 to 20 tons. Hello Gravel has a 3-ton minimum, so order in whole-ton increments and allow extra for compaction and margin.
In a desert climate you should plan on light maintenance annually (raking, removing weeds, and addressing washouts) and adding 1" to 2" of gravel every 2 to 3 years for high-use areas. Small maintenance jobs (raking and minor top-up) are inexpensive—often under a few hundred dollars—while larger regrades or adding 10+ tons can run a few hundred to over a thousand dollars depending on material and delivery. Using edging, geotextile fabric, or stabilizers reduces frequency and long-term costs.
Gravel typically has much lower upfront cost than asphalt or concrete and is faster to install, making it attractive for desert homeowners. Long term, gravel requires periodic maintenance and may need material added every few years, while asphalt and concrete cost more initially but generally require less frequent upkeep. If budget and drainage during rare desert storms are priorities, gravel is a practical option; if you want minimal maintenance and a smooth surface, paved options may be worth the higher initial expense.
Homeowners can buy gravel from regional quarries, local landscape supply yards, or through Hello Gravel, which connects you with nearby suppliers and haulers. Minimums commonly start at 3 tons for delivered orders via dump truck, while pickups from a supply yard may be sold by the cubic yard or by ton with different minimums. Check Hello Gravel with your zip code to see local suppliers, pricing, and whether pickup is available in your area.
Yes—many homeowners in Twentynine Palms should verify city zoning rules and any HOA covenants before installing gravel in front yards or driveways. Some HOAs have strict requirements on material type, color, edging, or installation methods, and the city may have rules affecting drainage or dust control. We recommend contacting your HOA and the City of Twentynine Palms planning or building department before ordering materials.
Common dust- and erosion-control options include polymeric binders, resin stabilizers, and mechanical stabilizer grids or geocells; these products help lock gravel in place and reduce migration and dust. Costs vary by method—polymeric stabilizers or binders can add roughly $0.50 to $3.00 per sq ft installed, while stabilizer grids and professional installation increase material and labor costs further. For small DIY areas you can also use more frequent top-ups and edging; for larger surfaces, ask Hello Gravel for local contractor referrals.
Pickup can be cheaper per ton because you avoid delivery and haul charges, but it requires a capable truck and time to load; delivered orders include haul, tipping, and a convenience fee and may be higher in remote areas like Twentynine Palms. Contractors buying in bulk often negotiate lower delivered per-ton pricing, while homeowners ordering minimum loads will see delivery cost make up a larger share of the total. Use Hello Gravel to compare delivered quotes and pickup availability for the best option in your zip code.
As of today, we require 2 business days for delivery.

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.
