Gravel in Feldheym, CA

One cubic yard (27 cubic feet) covers about 162 sq ft at 2 in depth, 108 sq ft at 3 in depth, and 81 sq ft at 4 in depth. For common landscaping and driveways in Feldheym, 3 in is a typical surface depth and 2-3 in with a compacted base is common for driveways. Use these figures to calculate volumes, and round up to account for compaction and settling.

'Brentwood rock' is a trade name often used for rounded decorative river rock popular in Bay Area and Northern California landscaping; sizes typically range from 1 to 3 inches. Availability in Feldheym depends on local suppliers and seasonal stock—regional sourcing means color and roundness can vary. If you prefer a specific look, note it in your order and ask our team for a local match.

#57 gravel is generally larger (about 3/4 inch, angular) and is commonly used for driveways, drainage, and as a base rock. #67 is smaller and finer (roughly 3/8 to 3/4 inch with more fines) and is often used as a base under pavers or for better compaction. In Feldheym, use #57 for drainage and driveways and #67 for paver bedding or where compaction and a smoother surface are needed.

Adding sand or fines to crushed stone can increase compaction and make a firmer surface (this is how road bases and paver bases are made). However, adding a lot of fine sand can reduce permeability and create mud in heavy rain. For Feldheym projects, choose mixes designed for your use (crusher run or road base for driveways, sand plus stone dust for pavers) and compact each layer properly.

Costs vary by material, distance, and delivery options; a tri-axle dump truck (around 10-12 tons) typically runs anywhere from about $350 to $1,200 delivered in the Feldheym area. Hello Gravel’s minimum order is 3 tons, so for smaller jobs you will often pay per ton rather than a full truckload. Request a quote for your zip code to get a firm price and delivery window.

A simple single-car 20 ft long by 10 ft wide driveway (200 sq ft) at a 3 in depth needs about 1.8 cubic yards or roughly 2.5 to 3 tons of material; because Hello Gravel’s minimum order is 3 tons, expect to order at least that amount. Material and delivery typically put a basic install in Feldheym in the range of $200 to $700, depending on stone type, depth, site access, and whether you need spreading or compaction services.

Landscapers source gravel from local quarries, pit sites, recycled aggregate yards, and regional suppliers; many also buy through platforms like Hello Gravel that coordinate local haulers. Buying local reduces delivery costs and reflects the regional geology, so Feldheym projects often use materials from nearby suppliers that match local color and performance needs.

For drainage use 3/4 in crushed rock like #57; for driveways use a compacted base layer (road base/crusher run) topped with 3/4 in or 3/8 in surface stone; for walking paths or decorative beds choose pea gravel or 1/4 in river rock. Consider local rainfall and slope in Feldheym—permeable options are preferred where possible—and ask our team for material recommendations based on your specific project and site conditions.

Hello Gravel’s minimum order is 3 tons. Standard delivery is 2+ business days with a next-day option for orders placed before noon CST (additional fee may apply), and deliveries are made by local contracted dump trucks (usually tri-axle). You can request tailgate spreading at checkout but drivers perform spreading at their discretion and it is not guaranteed.

No single image can guarantee an exact match because Hello Gravel sources regionally and natural materials vary in color, size, and texture. Expect local variations that reflect Feldheym’s geology; if color or texture is important, include preferences in Order Notes and contact our team for photos or samples when possible.

Clear the delivery area of debris, mark boundaries and any obstacles, and make sure a dump truck can safely access and park close to the drop zone. Protect lawns and underground utilities, confirm your preferred delivery date at checkout, and call our team if you have tight access, low-hanging wires, or special placement needs so we can coordinate with the driver.
