Gravel in Eastvale, CA

For Eastvale driveways, angular crushed rock (like 3/4u0022 crushed stone or #57) and well-graded base rock are most common because they compact and lock together under traffic. Use a compacted crushed-rock base (4u0022-6u0022) topped with 2u0022-3u0022 of #57 or similar surface gravel for durability and drainage. Decorative rounded river rock looks nice but is less stable for vehicles, so reserve it for low-traffic areas.

Delivered prices vary by material and haul distance; a common range for typical driveway gravels in Eastvale is about $40-$100 per cubic yard. A standard tri-axle delivery (roughly 10-14 cubic yards) will therefore typically run about $400-$1,400 delivered. Exact pricing depends on the gravel type, quantity, and delivery location — check our online quote tool for a precise cost to your zip code.

One cubic yard equals 27 cubic feet, so it covers roughly 162 square feet at 2u0022 depth, 108 square feet at 3u0022 depth, and 81 square feet at 4u0022 depth. Use these numbers to estimate how many cubic yards you need for your project and add 5%-10% for compaction and waste. Our material calculator can do the math for your exact dimensions.

In West California's climate (minimal freeze/thaw but occasional heavy winter rain), we recommend a 4u0022-6u0022 compacted base of crushed rock (class II or similar) with a 2u0022-3u0022 top layer of surface gravel. Focus on compaction, slope, and drainage rather than extra depth for frost protection. Make sure the driveway has a slight crown or edge drainage to send water away from the pavement and foundations.

Costs depend on length and prep, so a common way to estimate is by square footage. For a 20' x 40' driveway (800 sq ft) expect about 14–16 cubic yards of material; supply and delivery for materials alone often runs $700-$1,200, while full install with base prep, compaction, and fabric typically ranges $2,500-$6,000.

A common stackup is geotextile fabric, 4u0022-6u0022 of compacted crushed rock/base course, then 2u0022-3u0022 of surface gravel. Fabric helps stabilization and weed control on softer soils; sand is rarely used as the primary base for driveways because it shifts. Ballpark costs: DIY supply-only for base rock is often $30-$60 per cubic yard, while contractor-installed base and surface with fabric typically runs $2-$6 per square foot for basic jobs and more for complicated grading or drainage.

Yes, #57 gravel is a common choice for driveway surfaces because the 1/2u0022 to 1u0022 angular pieces lock together and shed water. #57 is defined by stone roughly between 1/2u0022 and 1u0022 in diameter and is used for surface layers, drainage, and concrete aggregate. It provides good traction and compaction without packing as tightly as finer crushed fines, so pairing it with a compacted base is recommended.

Prices in Eastvale are generally comparable to the broader Inland Empire market but can be higher or lower depending on local demand, haul distance from quarries, and contractor availability. Contractors may charge more when materials must be hauled farther, when landfill or permit fees apply, or during busy seasons.

Typical tri-axle dump trucks used in our network carry about 10–14 cubic yards, depending on the material and truck. Delivery fees in Eastvale vary with distance and site access but commonly fall in the $75-$300 range on top of material cost; longer hauls or tight access can increase that fee. Our checkout provides a delivered price that includes the haul so you know the total before you order.

Minor fixes like regrading, adding a few cubic yards of gravel, and light compaction often cost $150-$700 for a small driveway or patch. If the issue requires removing soft soil, installing a proper crushed-rock base, and reapplying surface gravel, a full rebuild can run $1,500-$6,000 or more depending on size and access. Address drainage problems early — correcting poor drainage after repeated washouts typically increases the repair scope and cost.
