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






Building a new driveway or resurfacing an old one in Yucaipa starts with choosing the right gravel size. Two common options are 3/4 inch driveway gravel for the top layer and 1.5 inch driveway gravel for a heavier base.
Yucaipa gets about 15 inches of precipitation a year, so drainage and washout planning affect how your driveway holds up. A well-drained base helps the gravel stay in place.
For a driveway, you usually need a base layer of larger stone and a top layer of smaller, compactible gravel. Gravel Monkey carries six sizes of driveway gravel for Yucaipa. Each is sold by the ton and delivered in a dump truck.
| Product | Use | Note |
|---|---|---|
| Driveway Gravel | General driveway top layer | Versatile all-purpose gravel. |
| 3/8 inch Driveway Gravel | Smooth top dressing, comfortable underfoot | Good for walking paths. |
| 3/4 inch Driveway Gravel | The standard driveway size, locks together well | Best balance of stability and drainage. |
| 1 inch - 1.5 inch Driveway Gravel | Heavier traffic and soft ground | Adds strength to the base. |
| 1.5 inch Driveway Gravel | Deep base layer under a finer top | Use under a smaller top stone. |
| 2 inch - 3 inch Driveway Gravel | Rural lanes, mud control, first lift | For very soft soil or steep sites. |
The depth and size you need depend on the project. Below is a quick guide to matching the gravel to the job.

| New driveway base | 1.5 inch Driveway Gravel | 4 to 6 inches compacted depth |

The ground around Yucaipa is in hydrologic group C, which means it takes water in slowly and sheds a fair amount across the surface. A deeper drainage layer earns its place here to keep the base from saturating and shifting.
About 25 days a year drop below 32 degrees Fahrenheit, which affects the work window for driveway work and how much the ground moves during freeze-thaw cycles. Frost is not the constraint here, so the calendar is driven by rain and by how wet the ground is.
To estimate how many tons of driveway gravel you need, measure the length and width of your driveway in feet, multiply by the desired depth in inches, then divide by a factor. Use Gravel Monkey's driveway gravel calculator to get a quick estimate for your Yucaipa project.
