For driveways in West Arizona, angular 3/4" crushed stone or 3/4"-1" crushed rock gives good compaction and drainage and resists rutting in dry heat. For patios, decomposed granite (DG) or 3/8" crushed stone provide a smoother surface and are comfortable underfoot; choose lighter colors to reduce heat absorption and note that local material color will vary.

Yes. Hello Gravel connects customers with trusted local suppliers and hauling partners who deliver by dump truck; use our site to check your zip code for supplier availability. Installation (spreading/compaction) is usually offered by local contractors rather than by delivery drivers, so request recommended installers or add a note at checkout if you want contractor referrals.

Coverage varies with material density, but typical estimates are: at 1" depth, 1 ton covers about 200-230 sq ft; at 2" depth, 1 ton covers about 80-120 sq ft; at 3" depth, 1 ton covers about 55-80 sq ft. Use the higher number for lighter, more porous gravels and the lower number for denser crushed stone; order a little extra (5-10%) for settling and spillage.

For erosion control on slopes, use larger rock such as 1"-3" riprap or 3/4"-2" crushed rock placed with proper slope stabilization, and pair it with contour berms or terraces. Installing a geotextile fabric under the rock and using plants or erosion-control blankets in combination with rock helps during seasonal monsoon runoff common in Arizona.

Gravel driveways perform well in Lakeside's dry climate but need periodic maintenance: light grading and adding fresh stone every 2-5 years depending on traffic and storms. Expect small annual maintenance costs (materials and occasional contractor grading) that are typically much lower than paved options; budget for adding 0.1 to 0.5 ton per 100 sq ft every few years based on wear and drainage.

Gravel is usually the lowest upfront cost and provides excellent drainage, making it a practical choice in Lakeside, though it requires ongoing maintenance. Asphalt is mid-range upfront with smoother ride and lower short-term upkeep, but can crack under extreme temperature swings; pavers cost more initially but offer long-term durability and a finished look. Choose based on budget, desired look, drainage needs, and how much maintenance you want to perform.

For RV pads, start with a compacted subbase of 4-6" of 3/4" crushed rock compacted in lifts, add a geotextile fabric underneath to reduce subgrade mixing, and finish with 2-3" of 3/8" crushed rock or DG for a smooth surface. Proper grading for drainage away from the pad edge and edge restraints will reduce washouts during monsoon storms.

Yes; adding a geotextile fabric under your gravel is strongly recommended to prevent the base from mixing with native soils, especially on slopes or in areas with concentrated runoff during monsoon season. For high-traffic areas consider gravel stabilizers or grid reinforcement systems to reduce migration and rutting, but discuss options with a local supplier to match product choice to your soil and slope conditions.

Labor and spreading costs vary by job size, access, and local contractor rates, but expect labor and compaction to run roughly $0.75 to $2.50 per sq ft in West Arizona for typical residential jobs. Always get multiple local quotes and confirm whether delivery, spreading, compaction, and edge restraints are included or billed separately.

As of today, we require 2 business days for delivery.

We cannot get out of the truck and manually spread it. However, depending on the location, safety, and comfortability of the driver – we may be able to tailgate spread your material. This involves pulling the truck forward as material is being dumped to make it easier for you to distribute material after delivery.

The minimum order size is 3 tons.
