Buy Driveway Gravel in California

Driveway gravel is sold by the ton, and the volume required depends on the size and depth of your project. Whether you need a thin top layer for a parking pad or a deep base for a muddy lane, Gravel Monkey can deliver the right amount to any address in California.

We supply six sizes of driveway gravel, from a smooth 3/8-inch dressing to a heavy 2- to 3-inch rural lane material. Each type is delivered loose in a dump truck, and the delivered price is calculated at checkout based on your ZIP code.

Weather and Ground Conditions Across California

Annual rainfall across the cities Gravel Monkey delivers to in California runs from about 9 to 41 inches, and freezing days range from 2 to 88 per year depending on location. The state sits mostly in the negligible band for ground freezing, so frost heave is rarely a concern.

The most common soil groups in the served cities are Group A and Group C. This means that in many areas the ground drains well, but where heavier clay is present a deeper base layer may be needed to prevent washout and rutting. Without a hard freeze to lift the surface, drainage and washout are what decide how long the material lasts.

Because freezing is not a major issue, you can plan driveway gravel projects year-round. Wet-season deliveries may require good access for the truck, but scheduling in the drier months avoids mud and soft spots.

How to Estimate the Tonnage of Driveway Gravel You Need

To work out how much gravel to order, measure the length and width of your driveway in feet and decide on the depth in inches. The tonnage depends on those dimensions and the material density. Our driveway gravel calculator does the math for you and shows the approximate number of tons.
