Suppliers serving Chandler most commonly stock crushed granite and decomposed granite (popular for xeriscaping), pea gravel, and river rock in varying sizes and colors. Crushed limestone is available from some suppliers but is generally less common locally; color and texture vary because materials are regionally sourced. If you have a color preference, add it in Order Notes or ask our team to confirm availability.

Use this quick rule: tons ≈ square feet × depth(inches) × 0.00432. Examples: a 1-car driveway (10 ft × 20 ft) at 3" needs about 2.6 tons (so you’ll hit the 3-ton minimum), a 2-car driveway (20 ft × 20 ft) at 3" needs about 5.2 tons, and a 100 sq ft patio at 2" needs about 0.9 tons (round up and account for compaction and slopes).

In Chandler’s hot, dry climate gravel holds up well for xeriscaping but monsoon rains can cause washouts, ruts, and migration of loose stone. Expect occasional regrading after heavy storms, and plan for edge restraints, proper slope, and compaction to reduce movement. Also remember heat can make dark gravels radiate more heat, so choose lighter colors for cooler surfaces.

Rules vary by neighborhood and HOA; many Chandler HOAs allow xeriscaping or gravel but impose limits on rock color, size, and the percentage of front-yard coverage. The City of Chandler promotes drought-tolerant landscaping but does not universally override HOA covenants. Before ordering, check your HOA’s design guidelines and contact the City or your HOA to confirm any restrictions.

Hello Gravel’s minimum order is 3 tons. Local suppliers may charge loader or placement fees for restricted access—these commonly range $50-$150 depending on site conditions, and same-day delivery is limited. Contractor installation (spreading, grading, compaction) typically ranges from about $0.75 to $3.00 per sq ft for simple spread-and-compact jobs, with full driveway preparation costing more.

Xeriscaping in Chandler commonly uses decomposed granite (3/8" to 1/2") and small crushed granite in tan, red, and buff tones, plus pea gravel for accents and 1"–3" river rock for dry creek beds. Lighter tans and buff colors are popular to reduce heat gain and fit desert palettes. Local suppliers usually offer a few regional color options—ask us to confirm what’s available for your zip code.

Gravel driveways are the lowest up-front cost and are easy to repair, but they require periodic regrading and can rut or wash out during monsoons. Asphalt and pavers are more durable and require less frequent maintenance; asphalt handles vehicle traffic well but can soften in extreme heat, while pavers are the most expensive but provide a finished look and excellent durability. Consider budget, desired look, and how much maintenance you want when choosing between them.

For driveways, start with 4"–6" of compacted road base or crusher-fines and geotextile fabric for separation, then add a 2"–3" top layer of decorative gravel. Use a plate compactor or roller between lifts to achieve proper compaction and slope surfaces to shed water to drains or swales. Good edge restraints (concrete, metal, or timber) also help keep gravel in place during monsoon flows.

Same-day delivery is limited and depends on supplier and truck availability; Hello Gravel’s standard service is 2+ business days, and next-day delivery is available for orders placed before noon CST for an extra fee. Local landscape yards and suppliers may offer same-day pickup from their yard; check our site for availability in your zip code or call 855-241-8884 to explore faster options. Remember our 3-ton minimum when planning same-day needs.

For walkways choose finer, compactable materials like decomposed granite or 3/8" crushed stone for a smoother, stable surface; for driveways use angular crushed stone with a compacted base (3/4" topcoat or crusher-fines) to lock in place. Use larger rounded river rock (1"–3") for dry creek beds and accents because it resists washing away but isn’t suitable for walking surfaces. Match the size to the use: smaller, compactable material for foot and vehicle traffic, larger rock for drainage features and accents.

As of today, we require 2 business days for delivery.
