Crushed rock (3/4" minus or 3/4" to 1") is generally best for driveways because it compacts well and resists tracking in dry heat. Stabilized decomposed granite (DG) can also work for lower-traffic driveways or pathways, while pea gravel and loose river rock tend to migrate and require more maintenance in desert wind and vehicle use. Choose materials with enough fines or a stabilizer if you need a firmer surface.

Use this quick formula: cubic yards = (square feet x depth in inches) / 324, and then estimate tons by multiplying cubic yards by about 1.3. For example, a small 2-car driveway of 20 ft x 20 ft (400 sq ft) at 4" depth needs about 4.9 cu yd or roughly 6.4 tons; a 500 sq ft patio at 2" depth needs about 3.1 cu yd or about 4.0 tons. Always round up and allow extra for compaction and grade variations.

Hello Gravel coordinates bulk delivery by local dump trucks and many drivers can perform tailgate spreading at their discretion if requested at checkout, though this is not guaranteed. Dedicated spreading and compaction by contractors is common; small jobs often run a few hundred dollars while larger driveways can be several hundred to over a thousand dollars depending on access, site prep, and equipment. Ask Hello Gravel to add notes to your order and get contractor estimates before scheduling so you know what services are available locally.

High desert heat causes fines to bake and can harden surfaces like decomposed granite, which reduces dust but can create crusting that may crack. Infrequent heavy storms and washes can cause washouts and ruts, so proper drainage, slope grading, and edge restraints are important to prevent material loss. Expect to do light maintenance — raking, regrading high-traffic spots, and adding a top dressing every few years — especially after storm events.

Yes, crushed rock and larger riprap-sized rock (2" to 6" and up) can be effective for stabilizing washes and steep slopes when combined with proper installation: geotextile fabric, correct rock sizing, and grade work. For active washes you may need engineered solutions and possibly permits from the county or flood control authority, so consult local officials before installing rock in a wash. For gentle slopes, properly keyed-in crushed rock with fabric will reduce surface erosion and slow runoff.

Gravel is typically the lowest upfront cost and easy to refresh, making it cost-effective for xeriscaping in Salome's desert climate. Decomposed granite is mid-range and attractive, and performs well if stabilized, but may need occasional reapplication. Pavers have the highest initial cost but are very durable and low-maintenance long-term; choose based on budget, desired look, and how much maintenance you want to do.

Regulations vary: Salome is in La Paz County where many properties have few local HOA rules, but some neighborhoods or private communities may have covenants that restrict front-yard changes. Always check La Paz County planning, any applicable HOA or covenant documents, and any floodplain rules for washes before removing turf or altering drainage. Hello Gravel recommends confirming permits or restrictions before ordering materials.

For driveways contractors typically recommend a structural base of 4" to 12" of compacted angular crushed rock (6" is common) with a geotextile fabric underneath and an additional 2" to 3" of finer top dressing for a finished surface. For paths and patios a 3" to 4" compacted base with fabric and a 1" to 2" surface layer is common. Use edge restraints to keep material contained and install proper drainage to prevent washouts and weed intrusions.
