Gravel in Del Rosa, CA

Assuming a typical single-car driveway width of 10 ft: you need about 1.23 yd3 (≈1.9 tons) at 2u0022, 1.85 yd3 (≈2.8 tons) at 3u0022, and 2.47 yd3 (≈3.7 tons) at 4u0022. For a two-car driveway (20 ft wide) double those amounts. Note Hello Gravel's minimum order is 3 tons, so a small 10 ft x 20 ft driveway at 2u0022 or 3u0022 may require ordering the 3-ton minimum.

One cubic yard covers about 324 ft2 at 1u0022, 162 ft2 at 2u0022, 108 ft2 at 3u0022, and 81 ft2 at 4u0022. Using a rule of thumb of 1.5 tons per yd3, one ton covers roughly 216 ft2 at 1u0022, 108 ft2 at 2u0022, 72 ft2 at 3u0022, and 54 ft2 at 4u0022. These are estimates; finish depth and compaction change actual coverage.

Prices vary by material and supplier, but a delivered gravel price in the San Bernardino area commonly ranges roughly $45 to $75 per ton. A typical tri-axle truckload in our network is often around 6 to 12 cubic yards (about 9 to 18 tons depending on material), so a single truckload could run approximately $400 to $1,300. For an exact delivered price to Del Rosa, request a quote on our site since local availability, material type, and delivery options change cost.

A cubic yard of gravel will physically fit in many full-size pickup beds, but 1 yd3 of gravel typically weighs about 1.4 to 1.7 tons and may exceed your truck's payload rating. Check your truck's payload capacity before hauling; overloading is unsafe and illegal. Some local suppliers do allow customer pickup, but availability depends on the supplier and your zip code—use Hello Gravel to check pickup options or schedule delivery to Del Rosa.

For very small jobs (under a few hundred square feet) bagged gravel from big-box stores can be convenient, but it is significantly more expensive per ton. Buying bulk (per cubic yard or by dump truck) is usually most cost-effective for projects above Hello Gravel's 3-ton minimum, because delivered prices per ton drop with larger volumes. Factor in delivery access, spreading labor, and storage—sometimes a slightly higher per-ton cost with delivery and spreading is the best value.

For driveway base and drainage, 3/4u0022 crushed stone (commonly called 57 or 20mm/3/4u0022) is a popular choice for strength and compaction. Finer mixes like 67 (smaller 3/8u0022 to 1/2u0022) or 10mm are good as a top layer for smoother finish or between pavers. Price differences are usually modest regionally—larger, coarser stone can be slightly cheaper—so choose based on performance (base vs finish) and local availability in the Del Rosa area.

Yes—options commonly available locally include resin-bound or resin-bonded gravel, polymer grid systems, and permeable paving grids that lock gravel in place. Installed costs vary widely: expect roughly $8 to $20 per sq ft for resin systems and about $3 to $10 per sq ft for grid systems plus infill, depending on site prep and material choices. Hello Gravel can supply the aggregate, but contact local installers for firm installation quotes and demos in San Bernardino County.

Use 1.4 to 1.7 tons per cubic yard as a practical range for most gravels in the Del Rosa/San Bernardino area. A good estimating value for general planning is 1.5 tons per cubic yard. If you need precise weight for truck limits or permits, ask your Hello Gravel quote for the exact density of the specific material being delivered.

Hello Gravel's minimum order is 3 tons. Standard delivery lead time is typically 2+ business days, with next-day delivery available for orders placed before noon CST for an extra fee.

Using a mid-range delivered price of $50 per ton as an example: a 20 ft long, 10 ft wide driveway at 3u0022 depth needs about 2.8 tons but you would hit the 3-ton minimum, so expect roughly $150 in material and delivery. A 50 ft long, 20 ft wide driveway at 3u0022 depth needs about 13.9 tons, so expect roughly $695 for materials and delivery. These are estimates—actual costs depend on material choice, local availability, and exact delivery conditions; request a quote for accurate pricing.
