Gravel in Brooks, CA

Local gravel prices in the West California area around Brooks typically range by type: crushed base rock may be about $20-$60 per ton, decorative pea gravel about $40-$80 per ton, and river rock or larger decorative stone $60-$120 per ton. A rough conversion is 1 cubic yard ≈ 1.4 tons for most gravel, so divide or multiply accordingly. Prices vary by supplier, delivery distance, and stone type; Hello Gravel shows exact local pricing in checkout and has a 3-ton minimum on most deliveries.

For driveways in Brooks, angular crushed stone (like 3/4u0022 crushed rock) performs best because it compacts and locks together, resisting rutting and dust better than smooth stones. Decomposed granite is a good choice for patios and walkways when compacted or stabilized; it gives a natural look and holds up well in dry climates. Pea gravel is comfortable for patios but shifts under vehicle traffic, and river rock is generally a poor choice for driveways because it rolls and does not compact well.

Estimates vary by desired depth. For a 1-car driveway (about 10x20 ft): expect roughly 1 cubic yard (≈1.4 tons) at 2u0022 depth, or about 3.8 tons at 4u0022 depth. For a 2-car driveway (20x20 ft): plan ~2.7 cubic yards (≈3.8 tons) at 2u0022 and ~7.7 tons at 4u0022; a 10x10 patio at 2u0022 is ~0.6 cubic yards (≈0.8 tons); a 100 ft walkway at 3 ft wide and 2u0022 depth is ~1.9 cubic yards (≈2.6 tons).
