Decomposed Granite
Known for its natural look, this compact, durable material drains well and holds up in high-traffic areas. Made from crushed and weathered granite down to a mix of fine gravel and sand—best for patios, paths, driveways, and landscape projects. Can range in color from light brown and tan to reddish and gray, depending on the natural stone color in the region.
Walkway Gravel
A smaller ⅜” crushed stone that is great for paths, patios, and garden walkways. Comfortable under foot thanks to its smaller size, and creates a beautiful garden-like atmosphere.
Road Base
(Class 5 | ABC | Crusher Run) A mixture of crushed limestone or granite, gravel, and sand, ranging from 1 ½” in size down to fines (small particles). Commonly used for constructing roads, driveway bases, parking lots, and other paved and unpaved surfaces. Intended to be compacted, hence the inclusion of fines within the material to provide support and be resistant to erosion and shifting.

Why Big Pine Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Big Pine is a small but steadily growing community with a city population of 1,520, located inside a West California metro area that totals a population of 2.5+ million. With a growth rate of 0.70% annually, Big Pine combines steady residential demand with a climate that averages 228 sunny days per year and annual rainfall of 34.32 inches. The area's hardiness zone of 8b and semi-arid tendencies mean soils can be compacted and runoff can be a concern on slopes and paved surfaces. That mix of sun, seasonal rain, and modest growth drives local need for dependable aggregates: homeowners look for gravel that sheds water, stabilizes driveways and walkways, supports plant beds, and acts as a reliable base for patios and sheds. Gravel performs well in Big Pine because properly graded, angular stone creates voids for drainage while resisting washout during seasonal storms and heavy rain. For common projects—driveways, walkways, French drains, and base layers—locally sourced gravel balances durability and appearance for the community's climate. Hello Gravel simplifies sourcing by connecting you to regional suppliers and professional haulers, offering clear pricing, online ordering, and delivery scheduling; standard delivery requires 2 business days, next-day delivery is available for orders placed before noon CST for an additional fee, and minimum orders start at 3 tons. Our team can help calculate quantities and recommend the right gravel for Big Pine projects.Popular Projects in Big Pine This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Big Pine gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in Big Pine.
Suppliers commonly offer sizes like 3/8", 1/4" pea gravel, 3/8"-3/4" crushed stone (including #57), crusher-run (or Class 5), and decomposed granite. For driveways in Big Pine, a compactable base such as crusher-run/Class 5 is recommended, with a 3/4" crushed surface or decomposed granite on top for a stable finish. Availability can vary locally due to regional sourcing, so check product names and photos when ordering.
One cubic yard (27 cubic feet) covers about 162 sq ft at 2" depth, 81 sq ft at 4" depth, and 54 sq ft at 6" depth. Use these numbers to estimate needs for driveways and paths, and add 5-10% for compaction and waste. For Big Pine projects, round up to the nearest whole cubic yard since minimum orders are typically 3 tons.
No — 2 inches of loose gravel alone is generally not sufficient for a durable driveway in Big Pine. We recommend a compactable base (crusher-run/Class 5) of 4-6" and then 1-2" of a surface layer like 3/4" crushed stone or decomposed granite, especially given seasonal freeze-thaw and runoff in the Eastern Sierra area.
Crusher-run (Class 5) and base mixes are the most cost-effective for driveway subbase because they compact well and limit movement. For a surface, crushed stone or decomposed granite balances cost and performance; pea gravel and river rock are less suitable for drive lanes because they shift and roll. Local suppliers in the Big Pine area often stock these cost-effective base and surface options.
Class 5 (or crusher-run) is a mix of crushed rock and fines designed to compact into a stable base. Use it as the subbase for driveways, parking pads, and under pavers in Big Pine to provide drainage and load-bearing support. A typical installation is 4-6" of Class 5 compacted before placing a finished surface.
Costs vary, but a rough range for a single-lane 20' long by 10' wide driveway (200 sq ft) is $400 to $1,100. Material costs for a compacted base plus surface usually run $40-$80 per ton, delivery to remote Big Pine addresses can add $50-$200, and basic labor for spreading and compacting often adds $200-$600. Exact pricing depends on material choice, required depth, access, and whether local contractors are needed for compaction.
Possibly — Big Pine is in Inyo County, and local rules or HOA covenants can affect driveway placement, drainage, and setbacks. Before starting work, check Inyo County planning or your HOA for any permits, easement rules, or stormwater requirements. When in doubt, call the county planning office or your HOA for guidance.
Hello Gravel’s minimum order nationwide is 3 tons, which is common among local suppliers. Delivery is by dump truck (usually tri-axle) and standard delivery is 2+ business days; next-day delivery is sometimes available with an extra fee if ordered by the cutoff. Remote locations like Big Pine may incur additional delivery charges and longer lead times—ask for a site-specific quote.
Plan on light maintenance each year—raking and filling low spots—and a regrade or top-up of surface material every 1-3 years depending on traffic, drainage, and winter conditions. Heavy use areas or spots with poor drainage may need more frequent attention. Regularly clearing runoff channels and re-compacting low areas will extend the life of the driveway in Big Pine’s mountain climate.
Suppliers need your exact address and zip code, driveway length and width, desired finished depth, preferred material type, and whether truck access is clear for a tri-axle dump. Also share photos of the site, gate codes or access restrictions, delivery date preferences, and whether you want tailgate spreading (not guaranteed). This helps suppliers estimate tonnage, truck size, and any extra fees for remote delivery to Big Pine.
As of today, we require 2 business days for delivery.

We cannot get out of the truck and manually spread it. However, depending on the location, safety, and comfortability of the driver – we may be able to tailgate spread your material. This involves pulling the truck forward as material is being dumped to make it easier for you to distribute material after delivery.
The minimum order size is 3 tons.
