Gravel in Grenada, CA

Expect a broad range because cost depends on gravel type, distance, and truck size. In Grenada and nearby West California areas, delivered gravel commonly runs roughly $40 to $80 per ton for common aggregates; specialty materials can cost more. Final price is confirmed at checkout once we match you with a local supplier and haul route.

Pea gravel, crushed rock (3/4u0022 minus and 3/4u0022 screened), and decomposed granite are the most commonly used in Grenada. Pea gravel is attractive for pathways, crushed rock is best for driveways because it compacts well, and decomposed granite gives a natural look on dry California properties.

Hot, dry summers mean dust and loose fines can be an issue, so choose well-graded crushed stone that compacts and resists dust. Seasonal rain requires good drainage: add a compacted base, slope surfaces away from structures, and consider a permeable edging or a subdrain if water concentrates on the site.

For a typical 1-car driveway (about 12 ft x 20 ft) at 4u0022 depth you will need roughly 3 to 5 tons (about 3 to 4 cubic yards). For a two-car driveway (about 20 ft x 20 ft) at 4u0022 depth plan on about 6 to 9 tons (around 5 to 7 cubic yards). Steeper sites or heavier traffic should increase depth and add extra material for compaction and waste.

Hello Gravel connects you with local suppliers serving the West California region; availability near Grenada can be limited due to rural location, so delivery may come from regional yards.

Gravel driveways and paths generally need periodic raking, adding 1 or 2 inches of fresh gravel every 2 to 6 years, and occasional regrading where washouts occur. With proper base preparation and drainage in Grenada's climate, expect 10+ years of useful life for the base and 5 to 15 years for the surface layer before larger repairs are needed.

Gravel is usually the lowest upfront cost and easiest to install, often $1 to $3 per sq ft installed, while asphalt and pavers are more expensive and longer lasting. Permitting varies by county and neighborhood; gravel frequently avoids paving permits, but you should check local Plumas County rules and any HOA requirements before deciding.

On slopes, start with erosion control like terraces or edging, install a geotextile fabric, then a compacted base of 4 to 6 inches of crushed rock, and finish with 2 to 3 inches of a surface gravel. For steep slopes or concentrated runoff, add retaining features or a drainage channel to prevent washouts.
