Why Bernal Heights Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Bernal Heights has a city population of 26, set within a broader metro area of 2.3+ million. That small local population alongside a regional growth rate of 2.50% annually points to steady, localized demand: homeowners are more likely to need frequent landscaping updates, spot repairs, and incremental hardscape projects rather than one-off, large developments. The local climate—228 sunny days per year, 33.20 inches of annual rainfall, and USDA hardiness zone 8b—creates material needs that balance drainage and moisture retention. In practice that means reliable soils and base materials for grading, aggregates for permeable surfaces, and organic products that tolerate strong sun. Current homeowner trends toward low-maintenance, water-smart yards and durable outdoor living spaces make access to quality bulk supplies—gravel, sand, dirt, mulch, and mixed aggregates—especially important for long-lasting results in Bernal Heights. Local soil variation and the seasonal moisture cycle create specific performance requirements. Materials that drain poorly increase erosion risk during periods of heavier rain, while lightweight, porous mixes can dry rapidly under 228 sunny days per year and may need amendments or different placement. Because Bernal Heights sits in hardiness zone 8b, freeze-thaw is less critical than UV exposure and organic breakdown, which affects mulch longevity and soil stability. For homeowners, that means sizing orders for compaction and runoff control, choosing particle sizes and organic content appropriate to slope and planting plans, and timing deliveries around wet or dry seasons. Hello Gravel helps by connecting you with regional suppliers, offering calculators and guidance, and coordinating deliveries to match local conditions and project timelines.Popular Projects in Bernal Heights This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Bernal Heights Gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in Bernal Heights.
A typical tri-axle dump truck used in residential deliveries usually carries about 10 to 14 cubic yards (roughly 12 to 18 tons, depending on material). To estimate coverage, multiply the area (in square feet) by the desired depth (in feet) to get cubic feet, then divide by 27 to convert to cubic yards; this works for gravel, sand, dirt, and stone. If you prefer, use our online material calculator or contact our team with your dimensions and we can help estimate how many truckloads you will need.
Price depends on the type of material, local availability, distance from the supplier to your site, and disposal or delivery constraints (steep access, permits, narrow streets). Seasonal demand and material quality also influence cost. Hello Gravel lists transparent pricing at checkout, and our team can provide a quote that includes delivery and any local fees or restrictions.
For small jobs, bagged products can be more convenient, but bulk materials usually cost less per cubic yard or ton for medium to large projects. Consider the size of your job, storage space, and handling: bulk deliveries have a minimum order (for us it is 3 tons) and require a place for a dump truck to deposit material. Run the math on price per volume and factor in time and labor to decide which option is best.
Guidelines vary by material and purpose, but a common recommendation for mulches is 2 to 4 inches of depth; for topsoil or planting mixes, depths are guided by plant root needs. Avoid piling materials directly against tree trunks or building foundations and leave a few inches of clearance at structures. If unsure, tell us your project type and we can suggest appropriate depths and placement for the materials you plan to use.
The most cost-effective options are to reuse the dirt on-site, offer it to neighbors or local landscaping projects, or list it on community give-away groups. If hauling is needed, compare local dump fees and truck-haul quotes; sometimes exchanging materials with another local project reduces costs. Hello Gravel can help coordinate deliveries to multiple sites or connect you with haulers familiar with local disposal options.
Residential deliveries are most commonly priced per load rather than by the hour, since most local contractors and haulers charge based on material volume and haul distance. In some situations, like long wait times or specialized handling, an hourly or minimum charge may apply. We communicate expected fees up front and confirm delivery details so you know whether charges are per load or time-based before you book.
Start by identifying the project goal: drainage, weed control, plant health, or load-bearing surface. For paths and driveways you prioritize stability and compaction; for garden beds you focus on drainage and nutrient content. Tell us the project type, slope, and local exposure and we will recommend suitable options from gravel, sand, dirt, and stone that reflect Bernal Heights' local geology and climate.
Many cities and neighborhoods run compost giveaways, community garden swaps, or recycling centers that offer low-cost or free compost; check San Francisco public works and community garden groups for current programs. Availability changes seasonally, so contact local municipal programs or neighborhood organizations to confirm pickup days and quantities. If you need bulk delivery, we can source locally produced materials and arrange a truck to your address.
Bernal Heights has some narrow streets and hilly blocks, so confirm driveway access, overhead clearance, and preferred drop location before delivery. Standard delivery window is 2+ business days, with next-day options available for orders placed early (additional fees may apply), and drivers may be able to tailgate-spread at their discretion. Provide notes in checkout about access limitations and we will coordinate with the hauler to minimize issues.
Measure the length and width of the area, decide on a target depth, and use the volume formula (area x depth) then convert to cubic yards, or use our online material calculator for an instant result. Once you know the quantity, enter it on our site, choose a delivery date, and include any access notes; our team is available to review your plan and make recommendations if you are unsure. Remember our 3-ton minimum and that regional sourcing means texture and color can vary slightly.
As of today, we require 2 business days for delivery.

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.
