Crushed Gravel ordered online by the ton. A dump truck delivers to your Mariposa address and unloads right where you point.
The delivered price for crushed gravel depends on where you are and what size you need. In Mariposa, the local climate influences how the material performs over time. That is why Gravel Monkey quotes delivered pricing by ZIP at checkout, so you see the total before you commit.
Mariposa gets about 33 inches of precipitation a year, so drainage and washout planning matter from the start. A well-graded crushed gravel base handles that moisture better than a rounded stone.
Here are the crushed gravel sizes Gravel Monkey delivers in Mariposa. Each size suits a different layer or load. Choose based on the condition of your subgrade and the traffic it will carry.

Mariposa's climate affects how crushed gravel performs. The area gets about 33 inches of precipitation a year, which means drainage and washout planning matter from the start. About 46 days a year bring at least a tenth of an inch of rain, so scheduling delivery onto firm ground reduces compaction issues.
About 91 days a year drop below 32F, but ground freezing here is not a significant factor. That means the base layer does not need extra depth to resist frost heave. However, snowfall averages only about 2 inches a year, so plowing damage to a loose surface is a minor concern.
The ground around Mariposa is in hydrologic group C, which means it takes water in slowly and sheds a fair amount across the surface. That makes a deeper drainage layer worthwhile. Without a hard freeze to lift the surface, drainage and washout are what decide how long the material lasts.
To estimate how many tons of crushed gravel your project needs, measure the length and width of the area and decide on the depth. Gravel Monkey's material calculators convert those numbers into tons for each size. Use them before ordering to avoid over- or under-ordering.

Yes. Smaller sizes like 3/8 inch compact tighter and create a smoother surface. Larger sizes need a base layer and then a finer topping to lock together fully.
A gravel driveway typically needs a base depth of 6 to 8 inches of larger crushed gravel, topped with 2 to 4 inches of 3/4 inch or 3/8 inch for the driving surface. Depth varies with subgrade condition and expected load.
