Why Venice Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Venice has a city population of 20,004 and sits within a metro area with population 2.7+ million. The community is growing at 1.00% annually and benefits from a mild coastal climate with 228/year sunny days, annual rainfall of 34.25 inches, and a hardiness zone of 8b. That mix of steady growth, outdoor living, and periodic rain creates steady demand for reliable aggregates: driveways and parking pads that stand up to seasonal runoff, permeable paths that reduce mud, and stable bases for patios and pavers. Homeowners in Venice often look for materials that balance drainage, durability, and a clean, low-maintenance appearance—qualities that dependable gravel can deliver when matched to local site conditions and drainage needs. Gravel performs well in Venice’s climate because it promotes fast drainage during downpours, resists erosion in sunny, compacted soils, and stays usable year-round in zone 8b conditions. Locally sourced gravel reflects regional geology, so color and texture will vary but will suit coastal landscaping and hardscaping needs. Hello Gravel connects homeowners with vetted local suppliers and scheduled dump-truck deliveries, making it simple to order the right gravel for your project, pick a delivery date, and get expert guidance for placement and material selection.Popular Projects in Venice This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Venice gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in Venice.
A single dump truck load to Venice typically carries 10-14 tons depending on the truck and material. Expect material plus local delivery fees to vary, commonly in the range of $400-$1,200 per load depending on gravel type and distance; Hello Gravel requires a 3-ton minimum and will quote exact pricing for your zip code.
Buying bulk by the ton from a local supplier is usually cheapest compared with bags. In Venice you can also save by choosing locally sourced recycled or crusher-run materials, scheduling standard delivery (2+ business days), and ordering the minimum 3 tons to avoid higher small-order fees.
Prices in Venice commonly range from about $40 to $80 per ton for basic gravel, though premium decorative stone costs more. Final price depends on material type, delivery distance, and truck access; check your zip code on Hello Gravel for an exact quote.
Angular crushed stone (for example 3/4" crushed stone or crushed granite) and compactable mixes like crusher-run are the most durable for driveways because they lock together and resist movement. Avoid smooth pea gravel for driveways since it shifts more under tires, especially with coastal sand blowing in Venice.
Cost depends on driveway width, depth, and material. As a rough example, a 20 ft by 10 ft pad at 4 inches depth needs about 2.5 cubic yards (roughly 3.2 tons), so material plus delivery might run roughly $150-$350; get a precise quote through Hello Gravel for your exact dimensions and material choice.
No, 2 inches is generally too shallow for a driveway in Venice. For a durable, stable surface you should plan on a compacted base of 4 inches or more of crushed stone over a proper subbase; heavier vehicles or poor soil may require a deeper base.
In Venice one cubic yard typically costs between $60 and $120 depending on the type and delivery. One cubic yard equals 27 cubic feet and will cover about 162 sq ft at 2 inches depth and about 81 sq ft at 4 inches depth; weight varies but a typical yard is roughly 1.2–1.6 tons.
Recycled concrete, crusher fines, or reclaimed asphalt often cost less than new decorative gravel and can perform well for driveways and paths. Keep in mind appearance and drainage differ from natural stone, so choose based on budget and intended use.
One cubic yard covers about 162 sq ft at 2 inches depth or about 81 sq ft at 4 inches depth. Since a cubic yard typically weighs about 1.2–1.6 tons, one ton will generally cover roughly 100–130 sq ft at a 2-inch depth; use your desired depth and width to convert to linear feet for paths.
A 20x20 ft area is 400 sq ft. At 3 inches depth that equals about 4.4 cubic yards (roughly 5.5–7 tons), so material plus delivery commonly falls in the range of $300-$800 depending on gravel type and truck access. For an accurate price, get a quote from Hello Gravel using your zip code and delivery details.
At a 2-inch depth, one ton covers about 100–130 sq ft. For a 3-foot-wide path, that converts to roughly 33–43 linear feet per ton at 2 inches depth; adjust up or down for different widths or depths.
Yes, many Venice homeowners install gravel themselves for small projects if they have basic tools and patience. Make sure to prepare the base (remove vegetation, grade and compact soil, add edging and weed barrier if desired), check truck access and parking restrictions in Venice, and note that drivers may or may not perform tailgate spreading on delivery.
You can for temporary or low-use areas, but direct-on-dirt installations will settle, mix with soil, and allow weeds. For longer-lasting results in Venice's coastal soils, prepare and compact a base layer, add a layer of crushed stone or road base, and consider a geotextile weed barrier.
A 50 lb bag contains about 0.018–0.02 cubic yards of material, so it will cover roughly 6 sq ft at a 1-inch depth or about 3 sq ft at a 2-inch depth. Bags are convenient for small repairs or accents, but bulk orders are more cost-effective for larger projects in Venice.
A well-installed gravel surface in Venice can last many years, with top-ups or regrading typically needed every 3–5 years depending on traffic and erosion. Expect occasional raking, weed control, and adding fresh material along edges to maintain appearance and drainage, especially with coastal wind and sand movement.
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.
