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.

Frequently Asked Questions - Leucadia gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in Leucadia.
Material-only gravel deliveries in the Leucadia area typically range from about $30 to $70 per ton depending on type and local availability. Basic material plus delivery and minimal spreading for a small area often works out to roughly $1.50 to $4.00 per square foot, while a fully prepared, compacted gravel driveway with base and edging commonly runs about $2 to $8 per square foot. Prices vary with truck access, slope, site prep, and the specific aggregate, so get a quote for your exact address.
In coastal Leucadia the most common choices are decomposed granite (DG) for patios and pathways, pea gravel and river rock for decorative areas, and crushed granite or crushed rock for driveways because they compact well. Homeowners often pick materials with smaller fines for walking areas and coarser, angular crushed stone for driveways to improve interlock and load-bearing.
Yes—hard, non-reactive rocks like crushed granite, basalt, and quartz-based gravels hold up better to salt spray than softer, carbonate stones such as some limestones. There is no formal "salt-proof" label, so ask suppliers about local coastal-grade aggregates and request a sample or photo to check durability and color before ordering.
A quick rule: 1 cubic yard of gravel is roughly 1.3 tons (varies by material). Examples: a one-car driveway 12' x 20' at 3" depth needs about 2.2 cubic yards (~2.9 tons), a 10' x 12' patio at 3" needs about 0.8 cubic yards (~1.0 ton), and a 3' x 30' pathway at 2" needs about 0.4 cubic yards (~0.5 ton). Note Hello Gravel minimum orders start at 3 tons, so plan accordingly or split orders with neighbors.
Many Encinitas and neighborhood HOAs have guidelines on front-yard materials, color, and rock size, and some require approval for driveway changes. City regulations may also affect permeable-surface credits or driveway setbacks; we recommend checking your HOA rules and contacting City of Encinitas planning or public works before installing gravel in visible front-yard areas.
Salt spray, sandy soils, and occasional heavy rain in coastal Leucadia mean you should choose durable, angular rock, provide good drainage, and use geotextile fabric and edging to stop migration. Expect some more frequent top-ups and occasional regrading where wind or sand movement is strong, and avoid materials that break down easily in wet salt conditions.
Local labor and installation costs vary, but basic site prep, base placement, and compaction commonly run between $1 and $3 per square foot for simple jobs; a more complete driveway with excavation, geotextile, edge restraints, and proper base can be $2 to $6 per square foot. Complex access, steep slopes, drainage work, or extensive edging will push costs higher, so get multiple contractor bids for accuracy.
Yes—permeable gravel systems and open-graded rock with appropriate base layers are commonly used in coastal Southern California to manage runoff and meet local stormwater best practices. Requirements vary by project and location, so check City of Encinitas stormwater ordinances and consider hiring a contractor familiar with local percolation and inspection standards.
Typical maintenance is light: annual raking, weed control, and occasional regrading; expect to add a top-up of 0.5 to 1 inch of material every 1 to 3 years in high-traffic or wind-exposed areas. Costs are modest—DIY top-ups cost only the material price per ton plus delivery, while hiring maintenance labor will add hourly or flat-fee charges depending on the job size.
Gravel is generally the lowest upfront cost and is permeable, but it requires more ongoing maintenance and can shift in coastal wind or rain. Asphalt offers a smoother, lower-maintenance surface but is impervious and more expensive initially; pavers are the most expensive up front but very durable and low-maintenance. Decomposed granite is popular for its natural look on patios and paths but can wash or compact in heavy rain if not properly stabilized.
As of today, we require 2 business days for delivery.
