Decomposed Granite
Known for its natural look, this compact, durable material drains well and holds up in high-traffic areas.

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.

Why Mariposa Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Mariposa, population 8,230, sits inside a steadily growing West California metro area of 2.7+ million and shows modest expansion at 0.40% annually. With 228 sunny days per year and 34.25 inches of annual rainfall, homeowners balance long dry stretches with seasonal storms—conditions that drive demand for dependable drainage, erosion control, and low-maintenance surfacing. Whether you are repairing a gravel driveway, building a French drain, or installing drought-tolerant landscaping in hardiness zone 8b, residents need aggregates that perform under sun, resist washout during heavy rains, and match local soil conditions. Quality gravel reduces maintenance, improves water infiltration, and creates stable surfaces for vehicles and foot traffic, which is why many Mariposa homeowners prioritize locally sourced, well-graded materials for their projects.Popular Projects in Mariposa This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Mariposa gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in Mariposa.
Prices fluctuate based on material type, distance, and truck size, so exact per-ton or per-yard rates change frequently. For up-to-date pricing for Mariposa and the surrounding foothills, use Hello Gravel’s online quote tool or contact our team; we factor local supplier rates and delivery logistics into every quote. Keep in mind heavier, denser gravels and longer hauls will raise per-ton costs, while larger orders often lower the per-ton price.
For Mariposa’s foothill slopes and occasional winter storms, angular crushed rock (3/4" minus or 3/4" to 1") over a compacted road base is usually best because it locks together and resists washout. Decomposed granite is a good choice for low-traffic driveways if compacted and stabilized, while pea gravel is not recommended on sloped driveways since it tends to migrate. Always pair the top material with a proper base and drainage to handle seasonal runoff.
Use the rule that 1 cubic yard covers 324 sq ft at 1" depth and assume roughly 1.25 tons per cubic yard for typical landscaping gravel (actual weight varies by material). For 100 sq ft: 2" needs about 0.62 yd3 (≈0.78 tons), 3" needs about 0.93 yd3 (≈1.16 tons), and 4" needs about 1.23 yd3 (≈1.54 tons). For larger areas, scale linearly or use Hello Gravel’s calculator to get a precise quantity for your chosen material and local availability.
Mariposa is served by regional suppliers and quarry networks that deliver into the foothills; Hello Gravel coordinates with those local haulers to simplify ordering. Typical minimums depend on the supplier, but Hello Gravel’s minimum order is 3 tons and many local trucks are tri-axle deliveries; some quarries may have larger minimum loads. Lead times are typically 2+ business days for standard delivery, with a next-day option available if ordered before noon CST.
Pea gravel looks nice and is comfortable underfoot on flat garden paths, but it can shift and migrate and is not ideal for erosion control on slopes. Crushed rock (angular) interlocks and resists movement, making it the best option for sloped paths, driveways, and erosion-prone areas. Decomposed granite compacts well and gives a natural look for flat to gently sloped paths, but it may wash out unless stabilized or used with good edge restraints and drainage.
Expect to regrade and compact your driveway once a year, or after major storms, to correct ruts and redistribute material. Plan on adding a thin top dressing (1/2" to 1") every 1–3 years depending on traffic, and use spot repairs after heavy runoff; dust can be managed with periodic watering or, if needed, a dust-control product. Labor and material costs vary, so request a local estimate from Hello Gravel to budget for upkeep.
Regulations vary by property: Mariposa County planning rules and individual HOA covenants can dictate driveway surfacing, setbacks, and dust-control requirements. Before ordering, check with Mariposa County planning or your HOA to confirm any surface or drainage standards and to avoid surprises. If you need help, Hello Gravel can assist with material recommendations that meet common local requirements.
Common options include geotextile fabric underlayers to prevent loss of base material, polymer or resin binders to lock surface fines in place, and metal or concrete edge restraints to stop lateral migration. Mulch-like tackifiers and dust-control sprays can reduce airborne dust in dry months, while mechanical stabilization (compacted road base and proper grading) is the most reliable long-term solution. Choose products based on slope, use, and budget, and consult a local contractor for installation guidance.
On slopes, start with erosion controls (terracing or small retaining walls) and install 4–6" of well-graded, compacted road base (crushed rock) with geotextile underneath to separate soils. Finish with a 2–3" top course of angular crushed rock sized to your use (3/4" minus is common) and include edge restraints and drainage swales to divert runoff. Proper compaction and checks for concentrated flow during storm season are essential in foothill terrain.
Install gravel in late spring through early fall when the ground is dry and there is low risk of winter rain interfering with compaction and grading. Avoid installing right before the rainy season because winter storms in the Sierra foothills can cause washout and settling that require rework. If you must install during shoulder seasons, plan extra erosion controls and follow-up inspections after the first big storm.

The minimum order size is 3 tons.
