Hello Gravel typically requires a 3-ton minimum for dump-truck delivery in the Phoenix/Desert Ridge area. Many orders include free delivery, but fees of $25 to $100 can apply for short-haul, small loads, or special delivery conditions. Standard dispatch is 2+ business days; next-day delivery may be available for an extra fee if ordered before noon CST.

For Desert Ridge, decomposed granite (DG) and crushed rock (3/4" minus or 3/8" minus) are top choices: DG compacts well for paths and xeriscape beds, while crushed rock gives driveway stability and good drainage. Pea gravel looks nice for accent areas but tends to migrate and is not ideal for driveways. Choose colors and sizes that reflect local geology to reduce maintenance and heat glare.

Using a common conversion (1 cubic yard = 27 cu ft and roughly 1 cubic yard = 1.4 tons), one ton of gravel will cover about 231 sq ft at 1" depth, about 116 sq ft at 2" depth, and about 77 sq ft at 3" depth. To estimate your needs: tons = (area in sq ft * depth in inches) / 231 for a 1" basis, then adjust for the depth you want. Keep in mind density varies by material, so use these numbers as an estimate and request a quote if you need precise ordering.

HOA rules and City of Phoenix codes can restrict rock size, color palette, placement, and the amount of hardscaping allowed in front yards, and Desert Ridge communities commonly have design guidelines. Always check your specific HOA covenants and the City of Phoenix zoning or landscape regulations before ordering. If you are unsure, contact Hello Gravel or your HOA for guidance before delivery.

Many local landscape supply stores and garden centers sell bagged gravel for small projects, and some suppliers offer pickup options for small loads. Hello Gravel delivery minimum is 3 tons for dump-truck service, so for under-1-ton needs check local stores or big-box retailers, or ask us to connect you with nearby suppliers that offer bagged product.

Typical lead time in Desert Ridge via Hello Gravel is 2+ business days for standard delivery, with next-day possible for orders placed before noon CST at an extra cost. Some suppliers or truck drivers may offer tailgate spreading at their discretion; this service is not guaranteed and depends on jobsite access and safety. For full installation or landscape contractor work, request referrals to local installers rather than expecting dump-truck crews to perform extensive spreading.

Price differences vary by source and finish: decomposed granite often runs in the lower-to-mid price band, roughly similar to basic crushed stone, while decorative crushed gravel or color-treated rock can cost noticeably more. Expect only a modest difference for basic DG versus basic crushed rock, but decorative or specialty gravels can add $10 to $30+ per ton. For a precise comparison for your property, request quotes for both materials through our checkout.

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.
