Why East Side Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
East Side is a growing community of 14,000 residents in the Central-Alameda portion of the California Region, and it sits within a broader metro area of 2.3+ million people. A steady 2.50% annual growth rate means continued demand for home improvements, new landscaping, and small-scale construction as homeowners update yards and add outdoor living spaces. With 228 sunny days a year, 33.20 inches of annual rainfall, and placement in hardiness zone 8b, local projects must balance dry-season durability with the ability to shed winter rains. That combination drives interest in materials that provide good drainage, resist erosion, and support drought-tolerant planting while still giving dependable performance for driveways, patios, and foundations. For homeowners in East Side, buying quality bulk materials — from topsoil and mulch to sand, dirt, and aggregates — helps ensure projects last through seasonal weather and growing neighborhood activity.Popular Projects in East Side This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - East Side Gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in East Side.
Homeowners and contractors typically order a mix of gravel, sand, dirt, stone and other aggregates for landscape and construction projects. These materials are used for base layers, drainage, top dressing, grading and decorative surfaces, and regional sourcing means texture and color can vary locally.
Start by matching material performance to the job: think drainage, load-bearing, finish appearance, and longevity in local conditions. Use our material quiz or contact the sales team for guidance, and request samples or photos if color and texture are important to your design.
Common uses include driveways, walkways, patios, drainage trenches, base layers for pavers, raised garden beds and erosion control. Both DIY homeowners and contractors use bulk deliveries for grading, backfill and site preparation on residential and small commercial jobs.
Calculate volume first: area (square feet) x depth (feet) ÷ 27 = cubic yards, then convert to tons. Densities vary by material, so use a rule of thumb of about 1.2–1.7 tons per cubic yard depending on the material, or use our online material calculator for a precise estimate.
Standard delivery is 2+ business days from order, and next-day delivery is available for orders placed before noon CST for an additional fee. Hello Gravel has a minimum order of 3 tons, you can choose a delivery date at checkout, and you will receive confirmation with approximate timing before the truck is dispatched.
Clear the desired drop zone, mark the area with flags or cones, remove low-hanging branches and obstacles, and create a firm access route for the dump truck. If you have special access issues or concerns about driveways and landscaping, tell us at checkout so the driver and supplier can assess feasibility.
Yes. Local municipalities, HOAs and road agencies may require permits for large trucks, street parking restrictions, or curb drop-offs. Check with your city and HOA before ordering and notify our team if you think permits or street closures will be needed; in most cases the customer is responsible for obtaining any required permits.
East Side's seasonal pattern—dry, sunny periods and occasional heavy rains—can affect settling, compaction and erosion. Choose materials and installation methods that promote drainage and stability, compact base layers for high-traffic areas, and consider surface options that resist washout during storms.
Many local contractors offer installation packages that include materials and labor, and they often have preferred material types or suppliers for specific jobs. It’s a good idea to get quotes from contractors and compare the material specifications so your Hello Gravel order matches the installer’s requirements.
Contact our customer service team as soon as possible—changes are easiest before the order is dispatched and we will do our best to accommodate requests. Natural materials like gravel, sand, dirt, stone can vary by region, so color and texture may differ; if there’s an issue after delivery, report it promptly and we’ll work to resolve it according to our policies.
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.

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.
