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.

Why West Covina Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
West Covina is a busy suburban community with a city population of 168,133 and a metro area population of 2.7+ million. The area’s modest growth rate of 0.40% annually and a climate of 228 sunny days per year make outdoor projects and steady construction activity common for homeowners and contractors alike. With annual rainfall of 34.25 inches and placement in hardiness zone 8b, residents often prioritize durable, well-draining materials that tolerate sun exposure and occasional heavy rains. That demand drives the need for reliable aggregates—gravel is a go-to material for driveways, walkways, drainage trenches, and low-maintenance landscaping because it balances permeability, durability, and local availability. Gravel performs well in West Covina’s climate: it sheds water during the region’s 34.25-inch annual rainfall, resists erosion under frequent sun and dry spells, and provides a stable surface in zone 8b soils. Homeowners choose sizes and blends that match project needs—finer mixes for pathways and coarser crushed rock for driveways and drainage. Hello Gravel connects you with local suppliers and professional haulers to deliver the right gravel on schedule, with transparent pricing, easy online ordering, and options like requested tailgate spreading when feasible.Popular Projects in West Covina This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - West Covina gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in West Covina.
A tri-axle dump truck in West Covina typically carries about 10 to 14 tons of gravel. Price depends on the material and local supply but a rough delivered range is $400 to $1,200 for a truckload; recycled or base rock is at the lower end and decorative or specialty gravels are at the higher end. Hello Gravel requires a 3-ton minimum and can provide a firm, location-specific quote and delivery window for your zip code.
One ton of typical gravel (assume ~1.5 tons per cubic yard) will cover about 108 sq ft at a 2-inch depth, about 216 sq ft at 1-inch depth, or about 72 sq ft at 3-inch depth. Coverage varies with gravel size, shape, and how much it settles or compacts, so use these numbers as a planning estimate. For an exact amount, we recommend using a material calculator or asking Hello Gravel for help.
Amount depends on depth: for a 1,000 sq ft area, 2" depth requires about 15 tons (roughly 13.9 cubic yards), and 3" depth needs about 22.5 tons. Costs vary by material; at local Southern California bulk rates, expect a wide price range, so get a quote from Hello Gravel for accurate pricing and delivery. Remember our 3-ton minimum and that regional sourcing can change color and texture.
Cost depends on width and desired depth. For example, a single-car driveway 20 ft long and 10 ft wide (200 sq ft) at a 3" depth needs about 4.5 tons of gravel; based on local bulk pricing, delivered cost might range from $150 to $500 depending on material. Contact Hello Gravel for an exact quote and delivery timing for West Covina—we can account for material choice, edge work, and optional tailgate spreading.
For pedestrian paths and decorative areas, 2" of gravel can be fine. For driveways with regular vehicle traffic, we recommend at least 3" to 4" of compacted gravel over a well-prepared subbase to prevent rutting and migration, especially where vehicles turn or brake. West Covina's mild winters reduce freeze-thaw concerns, but proper depth and edging still help longevity.
A 10x10 area is 100 sq ft. At 2" depth you'll need roughly 0.9 tons (about 0.62 cubic yards); at 3" depth you need about 1.4 tons. Because Hello Gravel has a 3-ton minimum order, most West Covina customers ordering for small projects choose to buy additional material for future repairs or share an order with a neighbor.
Buying in bulk by the ton through local suppliers is almost always cheaper than buying bags. Recycled materials (like crushed concrete) or basic crusher-run/base rock are typically the lowest-cost options, but they have different appearances and performance. Use Hello Gravel to compare local material types and get a delivered price so you can pick the best value for your project.
For driveways, crusher-run (also called recycled or base rock) and crushed concrete are commonly the most economical choices. They compact well and make a solid surface at a lower price than decorative gravels or pea gravel, though they may not have the same finished look. Consider a top layer of decorative stone if appearance is important while using cheaper base materials underneath.
A 50 lb bag is 0.025 tons and contains roughly 1.6 cubic feet of material. At a 2" depth it will cover about 2.5 to 3 sq ft; at a 1" depth it covers roughly 5 sq ft. Bagged gravel is convenient for tiny repairs or planters, but for any area larger than a few dozen square feet, bulk delivery is more cost-effective in West Covina.
A 20x20 driveway is 400 sq ft. At a 3" depth you would need roughly 9 tons of gravel. Using local bulk pricing as a guide, delivered material cost could range from a few hundred to over a thousand dollars depending on the gravel type; contact Hello Gravel for an itemized quote that includes delivery and any optional services.
With proper installation (compacted base, good drainage, and edging) a gravel driveway or path can last 10 to 20 years with periodic maintenance like regrading and topping up. Heavy traffic areas may need attention every 2 to 5 years, while lower-use surfaces will last longer. West Covina's dry summers help reduce washout, but occasional rainstorms mean you should check drainage and refill settled spots after the wet season.
A 7x14 dump trailer commonly carries about 4 to 6 cubic yards of gravel, depending on side height; that equals roughly 6 to 9 tons. By contrast, a tri-axle dump truck used for local deliveries usually carries 8 to 14 cubic yards (around 10 to 18 tons). Hello Gravel coordinates with local haulers, and we can specify truck size based on your access and how much material you need.
Decomposed granite (DG), recycled concrete, or stabilized crushed rock mixes can be cheaper and offer different looks and performance. DG compacts well for walking paths and has a natural appearance but is less durable under heavy vehicle use. Talk to Hello Gravel about local material options in West Covina so you can weigh cost, look, and maintenance needs.
Multiply area (length x width) by depth (in feet) to get cubic feet, divide by 27 to convert to cubic yards, then multiply by approx 1.5 tons per cubic yard to get tons. Example: a 100 sq ft area at 2" depth = 100 x (2/12) = 16.7 cu ft = 0.62 cu yd ≈ 0.93 tons. If you prefer, use Hello Gravel's material calculator or contact our team for a quick estimate and recommended order size for West Covina conditions.
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.
