Gravel delivery in Yorba Linda: materials available
Start with the page for the material that matches your project.
- Pea Gravel is rounded stone for walkways, patio bases and French drains, sold by the ton.

Price and minimum order
The price you see is the delivered price for your ZIP, calculated when you enter it on a product page. The more you order, the lower the rate per unit, so a full-yard project usually costs less per unit than a patch repair. Every order starts at 2 units: 2 tons or 2 cubic yards, depending on the material.
Yorba Linda sites: slopes, access and runoff
Many properties here sit on grades, and some have steep side yards. Loose pea gravel is better on the flat parts of a lot, while mulch holds better on a gentle bank because its pieces interlock. Where water crosses a slope, a gravel-filled channel at the bottom gives runoff somewhere to go before it reaches the patio.
Look at your approach before the truck comes. Gated communities, tight cul-de-sacs and overhanging trees affect where a dump truck can back in. If the best spot is at the end of a long drive, tell us where you want the pile, and keep the lane clear of cars and trash cans on the day.
The city has about 66,000 residents, and plenty of homes have mature landscaping. Dry summers mean exposed topsoil dries out quickly, so schedule planting soon after the soil is spread and water it in the same day.
Typical Yorba Linda projects
Homeowners here often take on terraced planting, side-yard paths and the area around a pool or outdoor kitchen. A bulk load suits all of these because the quantities add up quickly on a large lot, and a single pile near the work beats a driveway full of bags.
For a path, pea gravel over compacted ground and fabric gives a tidy walking surface that drains on its own. For a planting terrace, topsoil fills the bed behind the retaining wall, and mulch goes on after the plants are in. Doing the layers in that order keeps the finished edges clean.
Small landscaping crews working in the area use the same materials on a repeat basis, often ordering the next load while the first is still being spread. That works best when the site has a clear place to stage the pile and a way to move material from it to the work, such as a wheelbarrow route that avoids steps.
Because material pages are specific to Yorba Linda, you can price each job separately and decide what is worth doing this season and what can wait.

Which material works best for a French drain?
For a Yorba Linda drain, pea gravel works well because the rounded stones leave gaps for water to pass through. Line the trench with landscape fabric, lay the pipe, cover it with gravel and fold the fabric over the top. That keeps soil from clogging the gaps over the years.
Which mulch style stays put on a slope?
Shredded styles knit together better than chunky ones, so they stay in place after heavy rain. On a bank, rake the mulch into a slight dish around each plant so rain soaks in instead of running off, and refresh any thin spots once the surface has settled.
Should I strip old turf before spreading topsoil?
For a full lawn rebuild, yes. Strip the old turf, loosen the ground underneath, level it and then spread topsoil in one even pass so the new surface blends with the soil below. Skipping that prep can leave low spots and uneven growth later on.
What does a pile of 2 tons look like?
Two tons is enough to cover a path or a few planting beds, though the exact shape of the pile depends on the material. The calculator on the product page turns your length, width and depth into a quantity, so you can check whether the minimum order fits your project.
Do I need to pay attention to HOA rules?
Many Yorba Linda neighborhoods have homeowners associations with rules about material piles, street parking and changes to landscaping. Check yours before ordering a big load, especially if the pile will sit near the curb or the project changes the look of the front yard.
Can I use pea gravel as a base under pavers?
Pea gravel is rarely the choice for a paver base, because the round stones shift and do not lock together. It is better for paths, drainage and decorative areas. For a base under pavers, a compactable crushed material is the standard option.
How long should I wait before planting in new topsoil?
Spread the soil, water it thoroughly and let it settle for a few days. Settling shows low spots that need a top-up. Once the surface is stable and still moist a few inches down, you can plant without the plants sinking.
What should I do about weeds before spreading topsoil?
Pull or cut them first and rake away the debris. Perennial weeds with deep roots can push straight through a new layer, so dig those out rather than burying them. Once the ground is clear and loosened, spread the topsoil and water it in the same day.
