Gravel in Sedona, AZ

Prices in Sedona vary by type and source, but expect roughly $25 to $70 per ton for common gravel and crushed stone. Specialty red decomposed granite or decorative red sandstone mixes can be toward the higher end. Exact pricing depends on material, delivery distance, and whether you need spreading; check your zip code for a precise quote.

Popular choices in Sedona include red decomposed granite (DG), crushed red sandstone, river rock, pea gravel, and 3/4u0022 crushed stone. Homeowners choose DG and crushed sandstone for a natural red look that matches the landscape, while river rock and pea gravel are common for dry creek beds and decorative accents. Local suppliers often stock mixes tailored to the region's aesthetic and climate.

Gravel sold around Sedona commonly comes from local red sandstone and related sedimentary formations, plus granite and river-worn rock in some mixes. The red hue many customers expect comes from iron-stained sandstone and decomposed granite found locally. Because Hello Gravel sources regionally, materials will reflect Sedona's geology and color palette.

Certain gravels work well for driveways and low-speed offroad access: 3/4u0022 crushed stone or compacted decomposed granite are common choices. For heavier vehicle traffic or steep grades, choose larger crushed stone and ensure proper base and compaction to prevent washouts. Also check local trail and land-use rules before using gravel on public or protected lands.

Coverage depends on truck size and depth. Using a common conversion (gravel ~1.5 tons per cubic yard), one ton covers about 216 sq ft at 1u0022 depth, 108 sq ft at 2u0022 depth, and 54 sq ft at 4u0022 depth; a typical tri-axle dump load of 10 to 14 tons will cover roughly 1,080 to 1,512 sq ft at 2u0022 depth. Exact coverage varies with gravel type and compaction, so measure your area and depth before ordering.

A typical local dump (10-14 tons) will cost the per-ton price times the tonnage plus delivery fees; at $30 to $60 per ton, a 10-ton load would be about $300 to $600 for material before delivery and any spreading fees.

For walkways and patios, compactable materials like decomposed granite (DG) or 3/8u0022 minus crushed stone are popular because they form a stable, low-maintenance surface. Choose a binder or stabilizer if you want firmer footing in areas with more foot traffic or rain runoff. Select colors that blend with Sedona's red landscape for a cohesive look.

No — because Hello Gravel sources materials regionally, color and texture will vary with local geology. Sedona suppliers commonly offer red-toned sandstone and DG that generally match the local look, but exact shades and particle sizes may differ from photos. You can note color preferences in Order Notes and contact our team for sample guidance before ordering.

Yes. Sedona's landscape is dominated by red sandstone and sedimentary deposits, so locally sourced gravel and decomposed granite tend to have reddish hues and certain grain sizes. That geology makes regional materials well-suited visually and often functionally for local landscaping. If you need a non-local aggregate (for example, river rock or crushed basalt), we can source it but availability and cost may differ.

City and county rules can limit where and how you can place bulk materials. Deliveries to public rights-of-way, blocking sidewalks, or stockpiling large quantities in easements may require permits or be prohibited. Check with Sedona city or Coconino/ Yavapai county planning before large deliveries, and tell us any access or permit restrictions when you order.

Drivers may be able to perform tailgate spreading at their discretion; you can request this service at checkout. The driver will assess safety and site conditions on arrival, and no spreading is guaranteed. For larger or precise spreading needs, consider hiring a local landscape contractor and request this in Order Notes so the supplier can plan accordingly.

Some decorative mixes and river rock sold locally may include semi-precious material fragments, but classic commercial gravel deliveries are not sold as gem-bearing. Sedona's geology can contain jasper and other semiprecious stones in certain areas, but collecting on public or private land is regulated. If you want decorative stones for accent, ask our team about available river rock, flagstone, or polished decorative mixes.

Measure the length, width, and desired depth of your area in feet, then multiply length x width x depth (in feet) to get cubic feet. Divide that number by 27 to get cubic yards, then multiply by the density (we use roughly 1.4 to 1.6 tons per cubic yard; 1.5 is a common estimate) to convert to tons. If you prefer, use Hello Gravel's material calculator or contact our team with your dimensions and project type for a quick estimate.
