Common choices in the California Region include decomposed granite for paths and patios, crusher run for driveways because it compacts well, pea gravel for patios and play areas for its smooth feel, and river rock for drainage and decorative beds. Local suppliers source materials that match regional geology, so color and texture vary; pick crushed angular material for stable driveways and rounded rock where appearance and drainage are the priority.

In hot, dry periods gravel can loosen and create dust, so compaction and using angular crushed stone helps reduce movement. Heavy rains can wash fines and cause rills or sink spots on unprotected slopes, so good grading, edge restraints, and proper drainage or a stabilized base are important to prevent erosion after storms.
