Why Los Banos Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Los Banos has a city population of 47,490 and sits inside a metro area population of 2.7+ million that is expanding at an annual growth rate of 2.60%. The local climate—hardiness zone 8b with about 228 sunny days per year and annual rainfall of 34.25 inches—creates a mix of dry spells and seasonal runoff that increases demand for durable, low-maintenance landscaping. Homeowners here commonly need aggregates for driveways, pathways, drainage trenches, and erosion control as new construction and yard improvements keep pace with regional growth. Clear guidance on gravel sizes, quantities, and delivery timing helps DIYers and contractors avoid project delays and get the right material for Los Banos' conditions. Gravel is especially well suited to Los Banos because it encourages fast surface drainage during rains and resists rutting and washout through long sunny seasons. Locally sourced gravel will reflect the area's geology, so color and texture vary—but that variation also makes it easier to match existing landscaping and cut transport distance. Hello Gravel connects you to trusted local suppliers and haulers, offers transparent pricing and scheduled delivery (standard delivery requires 2+ business days and minimum orders start at 3 tons), and provides expert guidance so your gravel arrives when and where you need it.Popular Projects in Los Banos This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Los Banos gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in Los Banos.
For a 100 ft long driveway, first multiply length by width to get area (example 100 ft x 10 ft = 1,000 sq ft). At 3" depth you need about 9.3 cubic yards (≈12.5 tons), at 4" about 12.4 cubic yards (≈16.6 tons), and at 6" about 18.6 cubic yards (≈25 tons). Local materials vary in density, so use our material calculator or request a quote for a precise tonnage for Los Banos.
Prices vary by material and local supplier, but typical delivered ranges for the West California area around Los Banos are: crusher run $35-$70 per ton (≈$45-$95/yd3), crushed stone $40-$90 per ton (≈$52-$120/yd3), and decomposed granite (DG) $40-$100 per ton (≈$52-$133/yd3). Exact pricing depends on your zip code, truck access, and whether delivery is included; get a live quote on our site for up-to-date local rates.
A typical tri-axle dump truck used in our network carries roughly 10-16 tons of gravel depending on material and local truck limits. Delivery cost is often included or free in many areas, but where fees apply you can expect $50-$200 for local short-haul deliveries; next-day or specialized drop fees may be extra. For an exact delivered price and truck size for Los Banos, enter your zip code and we will show available options.
A 50 lb bag equals about 0.02 cubic yards and will cover roughly 6 sq ft at a 1" depth, so it is best for small touch-ups or planters. For anything larger than a few bags, bulk delivery is almost always cheaper: minimum order with Hello Gravel is 3 tons, which covers far more area at a much lower per-ton cost than bags. For typical driveway or patio projects in Los Banos, choose bulk delivery to save money and reduce handling.
The cheapest commonly used options are recycled crushed concrete or road base and basic crusher run. They provide good compaction and price, but recycled materials can have more variability in color, dust, and occasional debris and may require more grading or maintenance. If appearance and low dust are important, you may spend more for washed crushed stone or decomposed granite.
Two inches is not enough for a driveway and will quickly rut or move under traffic. For light residential cars on a prepared base, 3"-4" of compactable top material over a well-compacted sub-base is minimum; for regular use or heavier vehicles, plan 6" or more with a compacted base layer. Given Los Banos soils (Central Valley clay and seasonal rains), proper base and compaction are as important as depth.
Yes, many homeowners in Los Banos install gravel driveways themselves. You will need a plate compactor or roller, rake, shovel, wheelbarrow, a landscape fabric (optional), and 1-2 days for a single-car driveway; larger jobs take longer. Contractors add cost but bring heavy equipment for grading and compaction and typically deliver and install faster; get a quote to compare DIY tool rental plus time versus local labor rates.
For 400 sq ft at 3" depth you need about 3.7 cubic yards (≈5 tons); at 4" about 4.9 cubic yards (≈6.6 tons). Material and delivery in the Los Banos area typically run $40-$90 per ton, so materials plus delivery will likely fall between $200 and $600 depending on gravel type and whether delivery is free. If you hire a contractor for grading and compaction, add labor of roughly $500-$1,500 depending on scope and local rates.
Crusher run and compactable mixes with fines tend to 'lock' best because the fines bind the larger particles when compacted, creating a stable surface. Decomposed granite also locks well when properly graded and compacted and sometimes stabilized with polymer or a binding agent for less dust. For Los Banos conditions, a compacted crusher run base with a DG or finer lift on top gives a balance of durability and appearance.
A common durable setup is a 4-6" compacted base of 3/4" minus or crusher run (mixture of stone and fines) topped with a 1-2" layer of 3/8" crushed stone or decomposed granite for a finished surface. Because Los Banos has clay-prone soils and seasonal rains, add a geotextile fabric under the base to reduce mixing with subgrade and improve drainage. This combination balances compaction, drainage, and reduced rutting for Central Valley climates.
The lowest cost route is often quarry pickup or ordering a full truckload directly from a local supplier, which eliminates extra handling charges. Recycled materials and road base typically cost less than washed decorative stone. Hello Gravel can check local supplier options, show truckload pricing, and often offer free delivery in many areas—compare options by zip code to find the best local deal.
Delivered prices vary, but expect roughly $40-$90 per ton for crushed stone in the West California region around Los Banos, depending on type, truck access, and whether delivery is included. For an exact delivered price to your address, enter your zip code on our site or contact our sales team for a current quote and available materials in Los Banos.

The minimum order size is 3 tons.
