12-25 Tons per shipment required for this price. We offer a Split Load Option from this quarry.
1 Ton is approximately 2,000 lbs.
A Crushed Basalt Stone Material
This 3/4" minus mixture of basalt rock chips and stone fines make an excellent material for medium duty driving areas such as cart ways, driveways, farm roads, parking areas and utility service areas. Even better yet this material works great for a ground cover in planterbeds and landscapes instead of tree bark or green waste products. Cowboy Coffee Gravel will stand the test of time where as the wood mulch will need to be replaced on a regular bases.
This is a new material to the California landscape market. This a crushed basalt, a dark hard rock material that will stand the test against heavy traffic or just the effects if seasonal weather. Bold rich brown colors with hints a deep green colors. Naming this popular road engineering material for landscape use was easy. I saw the colors it reminded me right away of the coffee my mother and other horse trainers & riders used to brew out at the ranches morning and night, bold and strong.
Cowboy Coffee Gravel is screened into:
3/4" Screened
3/4" Minus with fines
3/8" Minus, no fines

Tons vs. Yards and Square Feet.
In most cases we charge by the ton and we have the receipts from the scale house at the quarry to show upon request. Materials sold by the yard tend to have very in-accurate amounts in the trucks. Amounts depend the size of the loader bucket, how well the material was scooped up and who was supervising the loading of the truck. Scale House totals don't lie, so why take a chance on losing money and time with how many square feet, scoops, skips and or dumps were made in loading the truck?Architects, public agencies, contractors and owner-builders requiring a competitive bid for the materials and transport costs should E-mail us with material specifications, amount and date needed and buyers contact information. We typically employ trucks with carrying capacities ranging from 17 to 26.5 tons. Decomposed granite, crushed rock, gravel, sand and similar materials are typically hauled in; Truck n Transfers from 24 to 26.5 tons, End-dumps from 24 to 25 tons Bottom and Side Dumps 25 tons Super-10's from 10 to 17 tons

The square foot coverage per ton of gravel will vary slightly with the surface and designs of the project, waste, etc. will affect area coverage. The information is based on average ton and cubic yard amounts. This decorative building stone has naturally occurring colors and shade variations. These are what give this stone the natural beauty and uniqueness that causes its appeal. Color tones change can sometimes occur with aging or maintenance practices of the location it is installed at therefore exact matching of existing stone may not always occur. During processing or transportation dust will adhere to the rocks and change its appearance on arrival but we guarantee all stones to be true to the specific brand name, type and size ordered or complete exchange including transportation costs will be made.
After installation is completed the rock should be rinsed off to show the natural beauty and character.
Material Size Choices
The use of decorative rock as a landscape ground cover or rock mulch to save water needs to be attractive to be effective. We believe that in most residential landscape and garden installation circumstances this is best done with 3/8" screened rock and not 3/4" screened rock. For pathways and drive areas where foot traffic is expected 3/8" rock materials are best. 3/4" rock works great in very large planter beds and is an important design element in large residential and commercial landscapes. For more creative rock work designs consider using various sizes of rock ruble from 1 through 12 inches.
