Gravel & Rock ordered online by the ton. A dump truck delivers to your Paradise address and unloads right where you point.







Gravel and rock come in sizes from pea to football. The size you pick changes what the material can do: fine stuff packs firm, bigger rock stays loose and drains fast.
Ground freezing is not a significant factor in Paradise. That means the depth of your base layer is decided by the load it carries, not by frost heave.
Crusher Run is the most-ordered material for Paradise jobs. It compacts into a solid base that supports everything else. The table below lists every option and what each one does best.
| Product | Best for | Note |
|---|---|---|
| 3/8" Natural Pea Gravel | Play areas, patios | Rounded and smooth, comfortable underfoot. |
| River Rock | Beds, borders, dry creek beds | Natural colors, no sharp edges. |
| 2-4" River Rock | Larger decorative cover, erosion control | Stays in place on slopes. |
| Drain Rock | French drains, dry wells | Clean, angular, moves water fast. |
| Decomposed Granite | Paths and patios that compact firm | Packs to a hard, stable surface. |
| Crusher Run | Compacting base under everything | Contains fines, locks together tight. |
| Road Base | Lanes and pads that carry trucks | Heavy-duty blend for traffic. |
The project decides the product and how deep you need to go. Use this table as a starting point.
| Project | What to order | Depth or note |
|---|---|---|
| Dry creek bed | River Rock | 4 to 6 inches, allow water to flow through. |
| Erosion control on a slope | 2-4" River Rock | 6 to 8 inches to hold the hillside. |
| French drain | Drain Rock | 12 inches around the pipe for proper flow. |
| Landscape beds | 3/8" Natural Pea Gravel | 2 to 3 inches for light weed suppression. |
| Path that stays firm | Decomposed Granite | 3 to 4 inches compacted in lifts. |
The ground around Paradise takes water in slowly and sheds a fair amount across the surface. A deeper drainage layer earns its place under driveways and paths to keep them stable.
Butte County permitted about 657 single-family homes in 2024, many in and near Paradise. New construction means new driveways, paths, and drainage that need reliable gravel.
Without a hard freeze to lift the surface, drainage and washout are what decide how long the material lasts. Getting the base right matters more here than in colder places.
You estimate by multiplying length times width times depth, then converting cubic feet to tons. The conversion depends on the material. Use our material calculators to get a number before you order.
