Gravel: Drainage For West California Conditions • Next-Day Gravel Delivery Options Available
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 Shoshone Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Shoshone, West California, California is a very small community with a city population of 32 but sits within a larger metro area population of 2.5+ million that supports steady local demand for home improvement and small-scale construction. With a growth rate of 0.70% annually and a climate that averages 228 sunny days and 35.00 inches of rainfall per year in USDA hardiness zone 8b, homeowners balance sun-loving landscaping with the need for reliable drainage and erosion control. That mixed climate and modest, ongoing development make quality aggregates a frequent need for driveways, pathways, patio bases, and drainage trenches — projects where material choice affects long-term performance more than frequent replacement. Gravel works well in Shoshone’s conditions: it promotes surface drainage during the region’s 35.00 inches of annual rainfall, resists rutting under sun exposure, and pairs with local soils to reduce erosion in sloped yards. For these uses, homeowners choose angular, well-graded gravel that compacts and sheds water while supporting plantings suitable for hardiness zone 8b. Hello Gravel connects you to local suppliers and haulers, lets you schedule delivery online, and manages the logistics so you get regionally sourced gravel delivered when you need it.Popular Projects in Shoshone This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Shoshone gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in Shoshone.
For Shoshone, CA, delivered price for standard crushed gravel commonly ranges from about $45 to $120 per ton depending on supplier, the exact material, and the long haul to this remote area. Remote delivery fees or fuel surcharges are common for Shoshone and can push the per-ton cost higher, so request a zip-code quote for an exact number. Hello Gravel will show final delivered pricing during checkout once we match you with local suppliers.
Crush-and-run (also called crusher-run or 3/4" minus) compacts best and forms a stable base because it contains a mix of stone and fines that lock together. For a finished surface, many homeowners add a top layer of 3/8" or 1/2" crushed stone for traction and appearance. Availability can vary by region, so check product listings for Shoshone-area suppliers.
A 100 ft by 12 ft driveway at 4 in depth needs about 14.8 cubic yards, which is roughly 22.2 tons of gravel (using 1.5 tons per cubic yard). At a delivered price of $45 to $120 per ton that translates to about $1,000 to $2,665 for materials and delivery; exact pricing depends on the product and any remote-delivery fees. Remember Hello Gravel has a 3-ton minimum, so larger deliveries like this are straightforward but ask for a formal quote for precise costs.
A 20 ft long by 12 ft wide driveway at 4 in depth needs roughly 3.0 cubic yards or about 4.5 tons of gravel. Using the same delivered price range ($45 to $120 per ton), materials and delivery will typically run about $200 to $540. This estimate covers only material and delivery; compaction, grading, and labor will add additional costs if you hire help.
For light-use paths or temporary surfaces you can put gravel directly on compacted dirt, but for a long-term driveway in Shoshone we recommend a compacted base and geotextile fabric. A typical buildup is 4 to 6 in of compacted crusher-run base over fabric, topped with 2 to 3 in of finish gravel, which helps prevent rutting and reduces weed growth. Shoshone's dry climate lowers frost issues, but proper compaction and drainage remain important to avoid washouts.
Products that 'harden' include crusher-run compacted base, polymer-stabilized gravels, and resin-bound or bonded-surface systems; crusher-run and polymer-stabilized base will compact very hard but are not literal concrete. Hello Gravel can often source crusher-run and some stabilized mixes through local suppliers, but availability of polymer-treated or resin surfaces depends on nearby producers. Request a product-specific quote on our site and note stabilization preferences in Order Notes.
A typical tri-axle dump truck carries about 10 to 14 tons of gravel. Total cost for a single truckload to a remote spot like Shoshone commonly falls between $600 and $2,000 depending on material price per ton and the distance-based delivery fee. For an exact price, check your zip code on Hello Gravel or request a quote, since remote delivery premiums vary widely.
Small driveways can be compacted with a rented plate compactor and hand tools; larger driveways benefit from a vibratory roller or ride-on roller for best results. Expect plate compactor rentals around $60 to $120 per day and small roller rentals $150 to $350 per day; contractor labor rates vary but commonly run $50 to $100 per hour or a flat rate per driveway. If you prefer a contractor, get several local bids and ask about experience with gravel installations in arid, remote locations like Shoshone.
Hello Gravel's minimum order is 3 tons; local suppliers may have similar or slightly higher minimums for remote deliveries. Standard lead time is 2+ business days, with next-day delivery available for orders placed before noon CST at an extra fee, though remote locations like Shoshone can have longer lead times or delivery surcharges. Always check availability and final fees by entering your zip code or contacting our team for a firm quote.
