Why Campus Commons Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Campus Commons is a compact, active community of 6,000 people within the Central-Alameda area and part of a broader metro region of 2.3+ million. With a steady 2.50% annually growth rate, there is rising demand for home upgrades, infill construction, and outdoor projects — everything from yard renovations to grading and driveway improvements. The local climate (USDA hardiness zone 8b, roughly 228 sunny days per year, and 33.20 inches of annual rainfall) supports year-round work but creates a need for materials that balance long sun exposure with seasonal moisture. Homeowners and contractors in Campus Commons benefit from quality bulk supplies—soil blends and amendments for planting, aggregates for base and drainage, and decorative materials that hold up to sun and occasional heavy rains—and from materials sourced to match the region's geology and performance expectations.Popular Projects in Campus Commons This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Campus Commons Gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in Campus Commons.
For most medium to large projects, buying bulk is cheaper per cubic yard or per ton than buying bags. Bagged products are convenient for small jobs or limited access sites, but bagging adds handling and packaging cost. Check your project size and delivery access to decide; our site calculator can help estimate whether bulk makes sense.
Free delivery is available in many areas but it depends on supplier availability and your zip code. Hello Gravel often offers free delivery in parts of the California region, while next-day or special-access jobs may have additional fees. You can confirm delivery cost during checkout by entering your zip code.
Truck capacity varies by truck type and material density, but a typical tri-axle dump truck carries roughly 6 to 12 cubic yards or about 10 to 14 tons of loose material. Some suppliers use smaller or larger trucks depending on access and local rules. If you need an exact amount for planning, tell us the material type and we can estimate based on local haul trucks.
Bulk materials are commonly measured by weight (tons) or volume (cubic yards). Because different materials have different densities, the same tonnage can equal different volumes, so we provide calculators and guidance to convert between tons and cubic yards. Use the calculator on our site or ask our team to confirm quantities for your project.
For organic mulches, a 2 to 3 inch layer is usually best for moisture retention and weed suppression without smothering plants; keep material a few inches away from tree trunks and plant stems. For gravel or crushed stone used as a surface, thinner top layers (1 to 2 inches) over a compacted base are common, while base layers are installed thicker and compacted in lifts. Always consider the specific material and local climate when deciding depth.
For mulches and planting soils, spring or fall are ideal times—spring before the growing season and fall to protect roots over winter. For gravel, sand, or stone, choose a dry period for delivery and installation so surfaces can be graded and compacted properly. In the California region, avoid scheduling heavy deliveries during expected rain to prevent tracking and settling issues.
Buying in bulk and ordering only what you need is usually the most cost-effective approach; share a truck with a neighbor or combine materials for multiple small tasks to hit minimums. Picking up materials yourself can save delivery fees if you have an appropriate vehicle and permits. Use our material calculator to avoid overbuying and extra disposal costs.
You can refresh mulch by raking the old layer to remove debris and then adding a thin new layer to reach the recommended depth. For gravel or stone, light topping is possible for minor leveling, but if the base is contaminated or uneven you may need to remove and replace or regrade first. Always inspect the existing layer to decide whether topping or full replacement is best.
A full cubic yard will often fit in the bed of a pickup truck in terms of volume, but the weight can exceed the truck's payload limit depending on the material. Heavy materials like dense gravel or wet sand can quickly overload a pickup. Check your vehicle's payload rating before loading and consider delivery by dump truck for heavier loads.
Organic materials such as wood mulch can attract insects, termites, and rodents if piled against structures or left too deep; proper installation and keeping mulch away from foundations reduces risk. Inorganic materials like gravel, sand, dirt, and stone are far less likely to attract pests but can provide hiding spots if debris accumulates. Good site maintenance limits pest issues regardless of material choice.
Consider function first—drainage and compaction needs favor gravel, sand, or crushed stone for driveways and paths, while dirt or topsoil is best for planting and mulch for moisture and weed control in beds. Think about appearance, maintenance, and local climate: porous materials handle rain better, and organic materials break down over time and need refreshing. If unsure, use our material quiz or contact our team for project-specific guidance.
Standard delivery typically takes 2 or more business days, with next-day delivery available for orders placed before noon CST for an extra fee; minimum orders start at 3 tons. Trucks are usually tri-axle dump trucks, so clear access, mark your preferred drop zone, and watch for overhead wires or tight turns; tailgate spreading may be requested but is performed at the driver's discretion. If site access is limited, tell us when ordering so we can match an appropriate truck and crew.
Contact our team as soon as possible if you need to change or cancel an order; modifications are easier before the order is processed and dispatched. We will do our best to accommodate requests but changes are subject to supplier and carrier schedules and fees. Check your order confirmation and our help center for specific timing and policy details.
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.
