Placing an order online was so easy. Delivery was on time. When the driver realized we had a newly poured driveway they erred on the side of caution and opted not ti drive in it. The company even sent me a message explaining that call. Would recommend!

Try Our CalculatorMeasure the area in square feet and pick your depth, then remember stone is sold by weight or by yard depending on the product. One cubic yard covers about 160 square feet at 2 inches or 80 square feet at 4 inches. Measure driveway width at both ends, since Brawley aprons often flare toward the street.
Pair stone with steel or concrete edging so it stays out of the clay, and keep blended soil and mulch on hand for the planting pockets you leave inside the rock.
Service area
Compact your subgrade before a single rock goes down. Brawley silty clay swells and shrinks with moisture, and loose clay under gravel turns into ruts the first time a truck parks on it. Wet the ground lightly, run a plate compactor or roller, and check that the surface sheds water away from the house. Ten extra minutes here prevents a full rebuild in two years.
Set your grade for the rare cloudburst, not the average year. Brawley sits in a closed basin below sea level, so when an inch of rain falls in an hour there is nowhere for it to go quickly. Give gravel areas a minimum 2 percent slope away from foundations, and build a shallow gravel swale along the low side of the lot to catch and route runoff toward the street.
Mix stone and plants deliberately instead of covering everything. A solid rock yard in the Imperial Valley reflects heat into your windows and raises cooling bills all summer. Leave generous planting islands with real amended soil, run drip to them, and place a couple of shade trees on the west and south sides. You keep the low water maintenance of rock while cutting the heat load around the house.
In a town that averages 3 inches of rain and routinely runs above 110 degrees, decorative stone earns its place in Brawley yards. It never blows away in the valley wind, never fades to gray under our UV load, and needs no replacing season after season. Over dense silty clay, a stone surface also spreads foot and vehicle loads so the ground does not rut and compact into a hardpan. Because we sit 112 feet below sea level in a closed basin, the rare downpour arrives all at once, and gravel swales or dry creek beds give that water a place to go instead of ponding against a slab. The trade off is heat, so stone belongs in paths, driveways, and wind exposed strips rather than pressed up against tender plantings.
