Gravel delivery in Antioch, CA

Prices vary by material and supplier, but in Antioch you can typically expect roughly $45 to $90 per ton delivered for common gravels. Local factors like material type (pea, crushed, base), seasonal demand, and delivery distance affect price, and Hello Gravel shows exact quotes after you enter your zip code. Remember our minimum order is 3 tons, so plan pricing accordingly.

Buying bulk by the ton and having it delivered by dump truck is almost always cheaper per square foot than buying 50 lb bags at a big box store. Look for recycled crushed concrete or crusher fines from local suppliers in East Contra Costa County for lower-cost options, and compare quotes on Hello Gravel to get the best local price.

Coverage depends on depth and the gravel type, but a good rule of thumb is: at 1 inch depth about 180-220 sq ft, at 2 inches about 90-110 sq ft, and at 3 inches about 60-75 sq ft. Density and local material (Antioch-sourced gravel may vary) change these numbers, so use our calculator or ask for a supplier-specific estimate for the most accurate coverage.

A 50 lb bag covers only a small area — roughly 2 to 4 sq ft depending on whether you spread it 1 or 2 inches deep. For most yard projects in Antioch you will save time and money buying bulk by the ton rather than many small bags.

Lower-cost landscaping options often include crushed base rock, crusher fines, or recycled crushed concrete rather than decorative pea gravel or color-stoned options. These materials are commonly available from local suppliers and work well for paths, base layers, and budget-friendly projects around Antioch.

Costs vary with truck size, material, and delivery distance; a single truckload (typical tri-axle) in the Antioch area can range widely, so expect anything from several hundred to over a thousand dollars depending on quantity and material type. For a precise price, request a quote through Hello Gravel — we show fees, truck size, and any delivery surcharges before you buy.

Coverage depends on truck volume and desired depth. For example, a 10- to 12-yard tri-axle delivery can cover roughly 1,600 to 2,000 sq ft at 1 inch depth, about 800 to 1,200 sq ft at 2 inches, or about 540 to 720 sq ft at 3 inches; your actual truck size, material, and compaction will change these numbers in Antioch conditions.

For a 10 ft by 10 ft area (100 sq ft): at 2 inches deep you need about 0.6 cubic yards (roughly 0.8 to 1 ton), and at 3 inches about 0.9 cubic yards (roughly 1.2 to 1.5 tons). Use our calculator to convert your preferred depth into tons for an Antioch delivery and remember the 3-ton minimum for many Hello Gravel orders.

Capacity depends on the trailer side height, but a 7x14 footprint with 1.5 to 2 ft side walls typically holds roughly 3 to 7 cubic yards. If you plan to use a rental trailer, check its specific cubic yard capacity and weight limits, since material weight affects hauling safety and local road rules in Antioch.

No, 2 inches is generally too thin for a driveway that will receive vehicle traffic. For a residential gravel driveway in Antioch we recommend installing a compacted base of 4 to 6 inches (or more for heavier vehicles) plus a 1 to 2 inch wearing layer, and consider geotextile fabric and proper drainage to handle seasonal rains.

Costs depend on width, depth, and material. As an example, a 20 ft long by 10 ft wide driveway at 4 inches deep needs about 2.5 cubic yards (roughly 3 to 4 tons); at typical Antioch rates that could range from a few hundred to several hundred dollars for materials plus delivery and any spreading/compaction fees. For an exact figure, enter your dimensions and preferred material on Hello Gravel and get a local quote.

Start with good drainage: a compacted layer of crushed rock or base material (3 to 4 inches) and, where needed, a permeable geotextile fabric to separate soil from gravel and reduce mixing and weed growth. On Antioch's clay-prone spots consider additional coarse drainage material and a slight slope to direct stormwater away from structures.

Typically crushed stone or base rock (used for driveways and underlayment) is cheaper than decorative pea gravel, which is screened and washed for appearance. If cost is the priority for a project in Antioch, look for local crushed or recycled materials and compare quotes on Hello Gravel to see which option fits your budget.
