Gravel in Glendora, CA

Prices vary by gravel type and local supplier, but delivered cost in the Glendora area typically falls in a broad range of about $40 to $120 per cubic yard. Final price depends on material (clean decorative stone costs more than base gravel), delivery distance, and truck type — check your zip code on our site for an exact quote.

A standard tri-axle dump usually carries about 10 to 12 cubic yards of loose gravel (roughly 14 to 18 tons, depending on material density). Multiply your per-yard price by the truck volume and add delivery fees to estimate cost; exact truck loads and pricing will be shown in your quote at checkout.

One cubic yard fills 27 cubic feet, so at 3 inches (0.25 ft) it covers about 108 square feet. One ton of gravel covers roughly 70 to 80 square feet at 3 inches, depending on the material density (densities vary by type and moisture).

Budget-friendly options commonly available around Glendora include crusher run, bank run, or road base — materials designed to compact well and serve as a base layer. These tend to be at the lower end of the price range; expect them to fall near the bottom of the $40 to $120 per cubic yard range, with exact pricing shown in your local quote.

A 2-inch layer is generally too thin for a driveway and will not last under vehicle traffic. For Glendora conditions we recommend a compacted base of 3 to 6 inches (road base or crushed rock) plus a 2 to 3-inch surface layer for a durable finish; heavier-use driveways benefit from the thicker end of that range.

At a typical 3-inch depth: a 10x10 area (100 sq ft) needs about 0.93 cubic yards, a 20x20 area (400 sq ft) needs about 3.7 cubic yards, and a 20-foot driveway at 10 ft wide (200 sq ft) needs about 1.85 cubic yards. Using the rough delivered range of $40 to $120 per cubic yard, estimated costs are: 10x10 ≈ $40–$110, 20x20 ≈ $150–$450, and a 20x10 driveway ≈ $75–$220; get a precise quote for exact pricing.

Many homeowners in Glendora install gravel themselves using hand tools or a rented compactor, which is practical for small areas. We do not offer full installation services as a standard product, but suppliers and haulers in our network sometimes offer spreading or can recommend local contractors — contact our team for referrals and to discuss what your driver may be able to do on delivery (spreading is at the driver's discretion).

For Glendora's Southern California climate and local soils, a compactable base like 3/4u0022 minus or crusher run is a good choice for the sub-base, topped with 3/8u0022 to 1/2u0022 crushed stone for a stable driving surface. If you want a more decorative look, decomposed granite or washed pea gravel can work as a top layer but should still sit on a compacted base for drainage and stability.

With proper installation and routine upkeep, a gravel driveway in Glendora can last many years, but it requires maintenance like edging, periodic grading, and topping up. Plan to add a light top-up (about 0.5 to 1 inch) every 1 to 3 years depending on traffic, and a larger refresh every 5 to 10 years; budget for occasional regrading after heavy rain and for replenishing 0.5–1.0 cubic yards per 100 sq ft as needed.
