Road Base

Commonly used for constructing roads, driveway bases, parking lots, and other paved and unpaved surfaces. Intended to be compacted, hence the inclusion of fines within the material to provide support and be resistant to erosion and shifting.
Brown Shredded Mulch
Shredded bark and wood from trees like oak, hickory, and maple, used for landscaping and gardening applications. Provides moisture retention in your soil, weed suppression, temperature regulation for plants, and the gradual addition of organic matter as it decomposes slowly over time. Adds a beautiful, finished look to your home’s exterior.
Topsoil

Why Allied Gardens Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Allied Gardens is a community with a city population of 27,000 that is seeing steady demand for home improvements as growth proceeds at 2.50% annually. That pace of expansion drives renovation, landscaping, and infill projects as homeowners adapt existing lots and add outdoor living space. With a climate that averages 228 sunny days per year, 33.20 inches of annual rainfall, and siting in hardiness zone 8b, material choices must balance sun exposure, seasonal moisture, and plant survivability. For homeowners that means selecting durable base materials for driveways and patios, stable soils and amendments for planting beds, and erosion-control products for slopes. Quality bulk materials—gravel, sand, dirt, mulch, and stone—matter here because they affect drainage, structural stability, water retention, and long-term maintenance across a range of common projects such as low-water landscapes, retaining walls, and driveway rebuilding.Popular Projects in Allied Gardens This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Allied Gardens Gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in Allied Gardens.
Start by matching material performance to the job: consider weight and traffic for driveways, and appearance and drainage for patios. Think about long-term maintenance and budget, and pick a material that offers good drainage and compaction for your site. Use Hello Gravel’s material calculator and quiz to estimate quantities and narrow choices, and check availability for your zip code before ordering.
In Allied Gardens' coastal climate, choose materials that drain well, resist erosion from occasional heavy rain, and tolerate sun and heat. Regional sourcing means the exact mix and color will vary, but prioritize materials that hard-pack or shed water for driveways and those that allow surface runoff for landscaping. If in doubt, ask our team about local material performance and examples from nearby projects.
Plan deliveries in spring or fall when weather is mild and contractors are less busy; avoid scheduling major grading during the wettest days. Hello Gravel’s standard delivery window is 2+ business days, and next-day delivery is sometimes available for orders placed before noon CST for an extra fee. Coordinate delivery date with your contractor so materials arrive just before installation to minimize exposure and rework.
Delivery costs depend on material type, distance from the supplier, and truck access; Hello Gravel’s minimum order is 3 tons. Many areas qualify for free delivery, but additional fees may apply for long hauls, tight access, or special services. Get a personalized quote at checkout using your zip code to see final pricing and any applicable fees.
Rules vary by neighborhood and HOA; some HOAs and local codes regulate driveway surfaces, visible stone, or front-yard treatments. Check your HOA guidelines and the City of San Diego planning or permitting office before changing hardscape materials. If you need documentation for approval, we can provide product descriptions and photos to help with your application.
Suppliers typically source materials regionally, so texture and color reflect local geology. Lead times depend on stock, current demand, and truck schedules; standard processing and delivery commonly take 2+ business days, while larger or specialty orders may take longer. We connect you with nearby suppliers and can share expected lead times when you request a quote.
Deliveries are usually made by contracted dump trucks, often tri-axle trucks, but other truck sizes may be available depending on supplier and access. The platform has a 3-ton minimum and supports standard and next-day delivery options when available; same-day delivery may be possible but is subject to availability and often has higher fees. Drivers may offer tailgate spreading at their discretion; request it at checkout and be aware there are no guarantees.
Contact our team as soon as possible to request changes or cancellations; orders are easiest to modify before they are dispatched. We will do our best to accommodate requests, but changes are not guaranteed once a supplier or truck is scheduled. For urgent modifications, call customer service for the fastest response.
Measure the area (length x width) and decide the desired depth, then convert cubic feet to cubic yards and then to tons using our online calculator—this works for gravel, sand, dirt, stone and other bulk materials. As a rule, order an extra 5–10% to account for compaction and waste. Use Hello Gravel’s material calculator for quick estimates and contact our team if you want a contractor-style recommendation.
Materials that settle or erode need more frequent replenishing, while more stable bases can reduce future expenses; consider initial installation, periodic topping, and any grading or weed control work. Permeable options and good drainage can lower long-term repair costs by preventing pooling and erosion. Talk with local contractors or our team about life-cycle expectations for different materials in Allied Gardens’ climate.
Drivers will make reasonable efforts to place loads where safe and accessible, but precise placement depends on vehicle access, driveway slope, and on-site conditions. Tailgate spreading is sometimes available at the driver’s discretion—request it at checkout and be prepared for the driver to assess feasibility on arrival. Mark the drop zone clearly and provide access instructions in Order Notes to improve placement accuracy.
Common projects include driveway bases, patios, walkways, raised beds, and yard leveling; quantities vary by project size. As a rough guide, a small garden path may need 1–3 tons, a single-car driveway base 6–10 tons, and a 10x10 patio base 3–5 tons, but exact needs depend on depth and material density. Use the material calculator or contact our team for project-specific estimates and recommendations.
As of today, we require 2 business days for delivery.
Use our material calculator here: https://hellogravel.com/calculator/ to enter the length, width and depth measurements of your project. It will automatically calculate the cubic yards/tons needed. If you are unsure how much to order, contact our team for guidance.

The material will be delivered via dump truck. If your order is under 20 tons, then it will likely be just one dump truck load. If your order is more than 20 tons, it will be more than one dump truck load.

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.

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.
