Gravel in Phoenix Skyline West, AZ

Costs vary by material and distance, but expect roughly $40 to $80 per ton for common base and decorative gravels delivered in the Phoenix area.

For driveways, crushed rock (3/4" minus or 3/4" clean) and compacted road-base perform best because they lock together and resist rutting. For xeriscaping and dry climates, decomposed granite and pea gravel are popular for aesthetics and heat tolerance, while river rock is better for decorative accents but can shift under traffic.

A 20x20 (400 sq ft) driveway covered 3 inches deep needs about 3.7 cubic yards, roughly 5.2 tons using a common conversion (about 1.4 tons per cubic yard). If you want 4 inches of coverage, plan on about 4.9 cubic yards or roughly 6.9 tons; add 5-10% extra to allow for compaction and settling.

Yes, properly installed gravel drains well during monsoon rains. Use a compacted coarse base (3/4" minus or 1" clean crushed stone) under a 3/8" to 3/4" surface layer; coarser particles and a well-graded base improve permeability and reduce erosion.

Gravel driveways typically need light annual maintenance like raking, topping up, and occasional regrading; budget $100 to $500 per year for homeowner upkeep or modest contractor visits. With proper base prep and periodic topping every 3-8 years, gravel surfaces in Phoenix can remain functional for 10-20 years before major rebuilding is needed.

Gravel is the lowest-cost option up front and easier to repair; installed gravel generally runs about $1 to $3 per sq ft, asphalt about $3 to $6 per sq ft, and pavers $10+ per sq ft. Durability follows the reverse order: pavers last longest with lowest long-term maintenance, asphalt is mid-range, and gravel requires more frequent topping and regrading but is the most budget-friendly.

Local quarries and suppliers around Phoenix supply crushed stone, decomposed granite, pea gravel, and river rock; Hello Gravel connects you to trusted local suppliers and arranges delivery by dump truck with a 3-ton minimum. Delivery is scheduled online, and some local drivers may offer tailgate spreading at their discretion if requested at checkout, though spreading is not guaranteed.

Yes, a permeable geotextile fabric is recommended to separate gravel from native soil, reduce weed growth, and slow sinking on sandy or silty sites common around Phoenix. Combine fabric with a compacted crushed-rock base to improve stability and drainage; avoid non-breathable liners that trap water.

Professional installation prices depend on site access, excavation, and base work; for a typical 20x20 driveway expect a range of roughly $1,500 to $4,000 including base prep, geotextile, gravel, and compaction. Complex sites with grading, drainage work, or heavy equipment needs may be higher, so get local quotes and check that the scope includes compaction and proper base depth.

For RV pads and heavy-use areas, use a compacted base of 6 to 8 inches of 3/4" minus crusher-run or road base, topped with 2 to 3 inches of 3/4" clean crushed stone; for very heavy or slow-moving vehicles consider 8+ inches of base. Add geotextile under the base to prevent mixing with subgrade and improve load distribution, and plan on occasional regrading and topping.
