Pea gravel (3/8u0022) and small crushed stone fines (about 3/8u0022 to 1/2u0022) are among the most comfortable options for walking and look nice in residential pathways. Pea gravel rolls a bit underfoot so it needs edging and occasional raking, while crushed fines compact better for a firmer walking surface. In Boyle Heights' dry climate, both work well; consider edging and a compacted base to reduce movement and dust.

When gravel is mixed with cement and water it becomes concrete (specifically part of a concrete mix). Ready-mix concrete is sold by the cubic yard from concrete suppliers, not as loose gravel plus cement from aggregate suppliers. Hello Gravel specializes in aggregates; if you need concrete by the yard we can help connect you with local ready-mix suppliers in the California region.

Common sizes in the California region include pea gravel (about 3/8u0022), 3/8u0022 to 3/4u0022 crushed stone, 3/4u0022 (often called #57), and larger 1u0022–2u0022 decorative rock. For driveways, 3/4u0022 crushed stone or a 1u0022 base topped with 3/8u0022 fines is common for strength and drainage; for patios a compacted base with 3/8u0022 crushed stone works well; for pathways pea gravel or 3/8u0022 crushed stone are comfortable and attractive. Availability and naming vary locally, so check product listings for exact sizes and local samples for color and texture.

Prices depend on the specific material: plain mason sand is often cheaper per yard than specialty decorative gravel, but pricing overlaps depending on supply and demand.

One cubic yard equals 27 cubic feet; a typical 50 lb bag of gravel is about 0.5 cubic feet, so you need roughly 54 bags to equal one cubic yard. Hello Gravel primarily sells bulk delivery by the ton or cubic yard (minimum 3 tons), which is usually more economical than buying many bags; if you need bagged material we can point you to local retailers but checkout and delivery on our site focus on bulk loads. For small projects in Boyle Heights, compare the convenience of bagged pickup with the lower unit cost of bulk delivery.
