We bring materials directly to your driveway, vineyard, or job site — often within the same week.

• Color-consistent decorative gravel
• Premium mulch for moisture retention
• Structural base rock for driveway stability
We supply materials that meet both residential and light-commercial standards.

Not all soils and materials perform the same across Northern California.
We understand:

• Erosion control requirements for hillside properties
This local knowledge helps customers select the right material for long-term durability and performance.

If you're unsure how much you need, use our material calculator or contact us for assistance.
How much area does a cubic yard or a ton cover?
Coverage depends on material type and depth.
General guideline at 2 inches depth:
• 1 cubic yard covers about 150 sq ft
• 1 ton of gravel covers about 110–120 sq ft
For mulch at 3 inches depth:
• 1 cubic yard covers approximately 100–110 sq ft
We’re happy to help calculate your project quantities.

For safety reasons, the driver determines the final dump location.
Can you deliver to hillside or narrow streets?
Yes — that’s one of our specialties.

What’s the difference between gravel types like base rock, drain rock, and decorative gravel?
• Base rock / road base: Compacts tightly, ideal for driveways and foundations
• Drain rock: Washed rock that allows water to flow freely
• Decorative gravel: Used for aesthetic landscaping, pathways, and garden beds
If you're unsure which material is right for your project, we can guide you.
Do you sell by the ton or cubic yard?
Most landscape materials like gravel, mulch, sand, and soil are sold by the cubic yard.
Some heavier construction aggregates (like rip rap) may be priced by the ton depending on the product.
Each product page clearly shows pricing structure.
Why order delivery instead of picking up from a rock yard?
Delivery eliminates:
• Trailer rental
• Multiple trips
• Loading and unloading labor
• Waiting in yard lines
Bulk delivery saves time and makes your project easier.
