Why San Anselmo Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
San Anselmo has a population of 14,295 and is experiencing steady, modest expansion with a growth rate of 0.40% annually. That kind of measured growth typically drives consistent demand for home improvements, landscape updates, and small-scale construction rather than a sudden building boom. With 204 sunny days per year and 49.77 inches of annual rainfall in a USDA hardiness zone of 9a, local projects need materials that handle both sunny, drying periods and significant seasonal moisture. Homeowners here are increasingly focused on durable surfaces, better drainage, erosion control, and plant-friendly soils—so bulk supplies like sand, dirt, gravel, mulch, and stone all play complementary roles. Choosing quality, regionally sourced materials helps ensure patios, driveways, raised beds, and drainage systems perform well through wet winters and sunny summers.Popular Projects in San Anselmo This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - San Anselmo Gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in San Anselmo.
Hello Gravel’s minimum order is 3 tons; delivery fees vary by distance, load size, and site accessibility. Standard delivery is scheduled in 2+ business days with next-day available for orders placed before noon CST for an extra fee. Some areas have free delivery promotions, but final fees and minimums are shown at checkout.
You may need permits or HOA approval depending on the work and where materials are placed. Common requirements include permits for work in the public right-of-way, curb/driveway alterations, and certain tree work; HOAs can have rules about visible materials and staging. Check with the Town of San Anselmo Building Department, your HOA, and Hello Gravel if delivery will block a street or require special placement.
San Anselmo has a Mediterranean climate with wet winters and dry summers, so heavy rains during winter can delay deliveries and spreading. Late spring through early fall is usually best for exterior work, while avoiding the rainy season and saturated ground. Consider local microclimates and hillside drainage when picking dates.
Choose materials based on the performance you need: permeability for drainage, angular and stable particles for slope erosion control, and noncombustible materials close to structures for defensible space. Regional sourcing affects performance and appearance, so select materials that match local conditions and code recommendations. Consult local fire authority for defensible space requirements and Hello Gravel’s team for material guidance.
Plan for truck access, turning radius, overhead clearances, driveway load limits, and a safe dumping area since typical deliveries use tri-axle dump trucks. Soft or steep driveways and narrow streets may limit where a truck can place material, and some sites may require curbside or street dumping with a permit. Add photos and delivery notes at checkout and contact our team to discuss unusual access needs.
Drivers may be able to perform tailgate spreading at their discretion, but Hello Gravel does not guarantee spreading or precise placement. For hand placement or more exact spreading, plan to hire labor or a contractor and note your needs in the order. The driver will assess safety and feasibility on arrival.
Materials are regionally sourced, so texture, color, and particle size will reflect local geology and may differ from photos. These natural variations do not typically affect performance but can change aesthetics. You can add appearance preferences in the Order Notes, and our team can advise on likely local characteristics.
Multiply the project area in square feet by the desired depth in feet to get cubic feet, divide by 27 to convert to cubic yards, and then use the material density to estimate tons. Hello Gravel’s online material calculator simplifies this process and gives quick estimates for gravel, sand, dirt, stone, and other aggregates. Contact our team if you want help verifying quantities for uneven sites or slope adjustments.
Hello Gravel works with a network of local suppliers and haulers that serve San Anselmo and the surrounding Marin County area, but exact partners and delivery zones depend on your zip code. Check availability on our site or contact support to confirm local supply and scheduling. We coordinate pickup with trusted local fleets to match regional schedules and requirements.
Material-only costs vary widely by type and depth but commonly range from about $0.50 to $6 per sq ft depending on the material and thickness. Installed costs including site prep and labor typically range roughly $5 to $25 per sq ft based on complexity and local labor rates. These are estimates; get a local contractor quote and use Hello Gravel to compare material pricing and delivery options.
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.
Hassle Free! Our goal is to make the buying process for gravel and other aggregates as easy and seamless as possible. Enter your zip code on our site, select how much material you need (see below FAQ’s to determine order size), select the date and time frame you would like your material delivered at Checkout, and place your order with any major credit card. After the order is placed our in-house support team will contact you to confirm the details. We will send additional confirmations on the day before and the day of delivery. On delivery day, a dump truck will arrive to dump the materials at your specified location. We request that you have someone available to accept the delivery so that we can make sure to dump it in the correct location. That’s it!
No, because we are a national supplier, we utilize our existing network of suppliers across the country. Therefore, the materials will likely be delivered from a contracted trucking company.
We specialize in making the aggregate buying process as easy and seamless as possible by managing the process from end to end. We have a network of suppliers that we source the materials from where we have negotiated rates. However, we do charge a markup and because of this you may be able to find the materials cheaper on your own. But if you want a hassle free experience, then we are for you!
