Gravel delivery in Camino, CA

Gravels that compact tightly have a mix of angular rock and fines, commonly called crusher run, road base, or aggregate base (AB). These products lock together when compacted and make a firm base for driveways; for a finished surface people often put #57 or 3/4u0022 crushed stone on top for drainage. Hello Gravel connects you with local West California suppliers and haulers who stock these mixes; check your zip code on our site or call our team to get local pricing and delivery options (minimum orders typically start at 3 tons).

#57 is a commonly used crushed stone about 1/2u0022 to 1u0022 in size (most commonly near 3/4u0022) with relatively uniform, angular pieces. It drains well and is used for driveways, walkways, drainage trenches, and as a top layer over compacted base material. Many West California suppliers stock #57; use Hello Gravel to see local availability and schedule delivery to Camino, CA.

For hilly terrain, start with a compactable base like crusher run or 3/4u0022 aggregate base (angular rock with fines) at 4u0022 to 8u0022 depth, then top with #57 or 3/4u0022 crushed stone for drainage. Use geotextile fabric on soft slopes, install edge restraints, and consider a thicker base or stabilizer where drainage or erosion is a concern. Steep or narrow access can affect truck placement and compaction methods, so discuss site specifics with our team before ordering.

Two inches is not enough for a residential driveway; it will rut and shift quickly. For passenger cars on stable ground, plan on 4u0022 to 6u0022 of compacted base and gravel; for trucks or heavier use, aim for 6u0022 to 8u0022. Local soil, slope, and drainage in Camino can raise those recommendations, so inspect the site or consult our team for a tailored plan.

Use the formula: (length ft x width ft x depth ft) / 27 = cubic yards. For a 20 ft long by 10 ft wide driveway: 2u0022 = 1.23 cubic yards, 4u0022 = 2.47 cubic yards, 6u0022 = 3.70 cubic yards. To convert to tons, multiply cubic yards by about 1.4 tons/yd3 (density varies); note Hello Gravel has a 3-ton minimum, so you may need to order more than the strict calculation for small projects.

Costs vary by material type, season, and access; a rough material range for common driveway gravel in West California is about $30 to $75 per ton. For a 20x10 driveway at 4u0022 (~2.5 cubic yards ≈ 3.5 tons), material alone could be roughly $105 to $262, plus delivery fees that may range from free to $0-$150 depending on location and truck access.

Yes. Camino is in El Dorado County and you may need driveway or encroachment permits for new installations or changes that affect the county road; state roads also have Caltrans rules. Local road weight limits or oversize/overweight truck permits can affect delivery, especially for tri-axle dump trucks, so check with El Dorado County Public Works and your local jurisdiction before scheduling. Tell our delivery coordinator about any neighborhood restrictions, narrow roads, or HOA rules so we can arrange appropriate equipment and timing.
