Gravel in Crestline, CA

One cubic yard equals 27 cubic feet. At typical depths it covers about 162 sq ft at 2 inches, 108 sq ft at 3 inches, and 81 sq ft at 4 inches. Expect roughly 1.4 tons per cubic yard for crushed gravel when converting to weight.

Costs vary with material type and delivery logistics, but as an example: a 1,000 sq ft area at a 3-inch depth needs about 9.3 cubic yards (roughly 13 tons). At typical delivered gravel prices in the area you might expect material costs in the range of $40 to $80 per ton, so the material total could be about $520 to $1,040; mountain access or small-lot delivery fees may add $50 to a few hundred dollars.

Cost depends on width and prep. For a 200 ft long single-car driveway (10 ft wide) at 3 inches you need about 18.5 cubic yards (~26 tons), and material could run roughly $1,040 to $2,080 using the example per-ton range above; double that width increases quantities accordingly. Installation costs for grading, base rock, compaction, and spreading vary widely by contractor; expect additional labor and base-prep charges and ask Hello Gravel for a local delivery plus contractor referral for an install estimate.

Two inches is generally too thin for a functional driveway in Crestline. We recommend a compacted base of 4 to 6 inches of crushed base rock for strength, with a 2 to 3 inch wearing course of decorative or driveway gravel on top. Sloped or frequently driven driveways may need a thicker structural base to resist rutting and erosion.

Yes, crushed #57 is commonly available in Crestline through our local suppliers, but color and texture vary by region. A typical tri-axle dump truck carries about 10 to 12 cubic yards; some trucks carry slightly more or less depending on local fleets. Delivery fees depend on distance, site access, and order size — many areas include delivery for typical orders, but mountain access or tight streets can add a surcharge, so request a quote during checkout.

For driveways, sand alone is not a good structural base. In Crestline’s terrain, use compactable base rock (crush-and-run or crusher fines) and a geotextile fabric for separation and drainage, then add a top layer of decorative gravel or #57. Sand is appropriate as a bedding layer for pavers but not as the main base for a gravel driveway.

You can lay small decorative gravel directly over compacted, well-draining dirt for short-term, light-use paths, but for long-term use—especially driveways—you should prepare a base. We recommend clearing vegetation, compacting the subgrade, adding geotextile fabric, and placing 4 to 6 inches of compactable base rock before a 2 to 3 inch top layer. Proper base prep improves drainage and prevents rutting on sloped, freeze-thaw, or high-traffic sites common around Crestline.

#57 gravel consists of roughly 1/2-inch to 1-inch crushed stone, commonly about 3/4 inch in size. It compacts well for good drainage and makes a solid wearing surface for driveways, walkways, and drainage trenches. For a driveway base you may still want larger crushed rock or crusher run beneath #57 to create a stable foundation.

For 1,000 sq ft: 1 inch requires about 3.1 cubic yards (about 4.3 tons), 2 inches about 6.2 cubic yards (about 8.6 tons), 3 inches about 9.3 cubic yards (about 13 tons), and 4 inches about 12.3 cubic yards (about 17.3 tons). A typical tri-axle truck carries roughly 10 to 12 cubic yards, so a 3-inch depth would usually be a single truckload, while 4 inches may require the better part of a second truck depending on truck size.

Crestline’s mountain roads and narrow driveways can limit where trucks can dump, and drivers may refuse unsafe drops. Extra charges can apply for tight access, long offloads, steep or switchback driveways, off-road shuttles, or if a permit is needed to block a road or use public right-of-way. Request delivery notes at checkout, add clear access instructions, and contact Hello Gravel with photos or gate codes to help avoid surprises.

Yes, mixes are often available and may be listed as 'pit run', 'quarry mix', 'bank run', or 'sand and gravel mix' depending on the supplier.
