Gravel in Lompoc, CA

A dump truck load (roughly 10-14 tons for a tri-axle) in Lompoc typically runs between $400 and $1,200 depending on material type, depth, and delivery distance. Local sourcing and seasonal demand on the Central Coast can push prices higher, so get a quote through Hello Gravel for an exact price for your address and preferred gravel type.

One ton of gravel is one ton by weight, and it usually covers about 80-100 square feet at 2 inches deep. In Lompoc prices per ton commonly range from $40 to $120 depending on stone size and quality; request a local quote for precise pricing.

The most cost-effective option is ordering bulk by the ton (minimum 3 tons with Hello Gravel) rather than bagged material, and choosing locally sourced, common mixes like road base or pea gravel. Compare delivery windows and pick-ups from nearby suppliers to avoid high hauling fees.

A 50 lb bag contains about 0.02 cubic yards and will cover roughly 1 to 2 square feet at a 1-inch depth or about 0.5 square feet at 2 inches. For most Lompoc yard projects, bulk delivery is usually cheaper and faster than many individual bags.

A basic 20 ft long single-car driveway (about 10 ft by 20 ft) typically costs $300 to $1,200 for materials in Lompoc, depending on depth, gravel type, and delivery. For two-car or thicker base layers you should plan for higher material and hauling costs; request a Hello Gravel estimate for your exact dimensions.

Two inches is fine for decorative surfaces or light foot traffic, but it is not sufficient for a driveway expected to carry cars regularly. Lompoc driveways normally need 4 to 6 inches of compacted gravel over a prepared base to handle vehicle loads reliably.

For a 100 ft driveway that is 10 ft wide at 4 inches deep, plan on about 6 to 8 tons per 1000 square feet; specifically you would need roughly 8 to 10 tons for a 100 ft x 10 ft driveway at 4 inches. Exact tonnage depends on your desired depth and the local stone density, so use Hello Gravel's calculator or get a quote for an exact figure.

A 20x20 (400 sq ft) gravel driveway at a standard 4-inch depth generally needs about 6 to 8 tons of gravel and costs between $250 and $1,000 for materials in the Lompoc area. Final cost depends on stone type, delivery fees, and site prep; request a local quote for a firm price.

Common road base mixes and crushed stone fines are usually the most economical options around Lompoc because they are locally available and compact well. Pea gravel and decorative rock cost more; check Hello Gravel listings for local cheapest options and delivery-inclusive pricing.

Lower-cost alternatives include recycled crushed asphalt and compactable road base, both of which are often available locally and perform well under traffic. Keep in mind appearance, drainage, and local climate when choosing an alternative for Lompoc; Hello Gravel can suggest options based on your project needs.

One cubic yard covers about 81 square feet at a 1-inch depth and about 27 square feet at a 3-inch depth; at a 4-inch depth it covers roughly 20 square feet. For Lompoc projects, convert desired depth into cubic yards and then into tons or use our online calculator for site-specific estimates.

For Lompoc driveways a base layer of crushed rock (3/4u0022-minus or road base) topped with 3/8u0022 to 1/2u0022 crushed stone or decomposed granite works well. The base provides compaction and stability while the top layer improves drainage and traction; choose sizes based on desired look and how much traffic the driveway will get.

A typical tri-axle dump truck delivering 10 to 14 tons will cover about 200 to 600 square feet depending on depth: for example, at 2 inches deep one truck can cover roughly 1,200 to 1,500 sq ft, while at 4 inches that drops to about 600 to 750 sq ft. Coverage varies by truck size and the gravel's density, so confirm with Hello Gravel when scheduling delivery.

For a 10x10 area (100 sq ft): at a 2-inch depth you'll need about 0.62 cubic yards (roughly 0.75 tons), and at a 4-inch depth about 1.25 cubic yards (roughly 1.5 tons). Hello Gravel's calculator can convert your preferred depth into tons and provide local delivery options for Lompoc.

A 7x14 dump trailer typically holds about 6 to 8 cubic yards depending on side height and gravel type, which translates to roughly 6 to 12 tons. That size can be useful for small Lompoc jobs, but Hello Gravel's minimum order is 3 tons and dump-truck delivery is usually more cost-effective for curbside bulk delivery.
