Why Brentwood Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Brentwood has a population of 64,980 and sits in a steadily growing metro area of 2.5+ million residents, with a measured growth rate of 0.70% annually. The local climate—228 sunny days a year and 34.25 inches of annual rainfall in USDA hardiness zone 8b—creates a mix of sun-exposed yards and occasional wet periods that influence material performance. As homes, driveways, and outdoor living spaces expand to meet this growth, homeowners need reliable aggregates that balance drainage, durability, and curb appeal. Gravel is a common choice because it manages runoff, reduces erosion on gentle slopes, and supports low-maintenance landscaping in sun-heavy conditions. Local geology affects color and texture, so many Brentwood homeowners look for consistent, regionally sourced material that fits their project and the neighborhood aesthetic.Popular Projects in Brentwood This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Brentwood gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in Brentwood.
Buying in bulk from a local supplier is usually the cheapest option in Brentwood. Order at least the 3-ton minimum to lower per-ton cost, choose common sizes like 3/4" crushed stone rather than specialty decorative rock, and schedule standard delivery (2+ business days) to avoid rush fees. Comparing quotes from nearby suppliers through Hello Gravel can also reveal the best local price.
A tri-axle dump truck in the Bay Area typically carries about 10 to 12 tons of gravel. Final cost depends on the gravel type, delivery distance, and site access; a full truckload for common base or crushed stone in Brentwood can vary widely, so get a local quote from Hello Gravel for an accurate delivered price. Remember that decorative river rock or specialty stone will cost more than basic crushed aggregate.
For 1,000 sq ft the amount depends on depth: at 2 inches you need about 6.2 cubic yards (≈8.6 tons), at 3 inches about 9.3 cubic yards (≈13.0 tons), and at 4 inches about 12.4 cubic yards (≈17.3 tons). Brentwood projects often use 2–3 inches for groundcover and 4+ inches for driveways, so pick depth based on use and compaction. Use Hello Gravel’s material calculator or contact our team to confirm exact amounts for your specific gravel type.
Yes, most Brentwood homeowners benefit from a base layer before placing rocks: compacted crushed rock or decomposed granite for stability on driveways and a permeable weed barrier for plant beds. Avoid non-breathable plastic sheeting which can trap water and cause drainage issues in the region’s occasional heavy rains. Proper edging and a compacted base will reduce washout on sloped yards.
Local landscapers source gravel from nearby quarries and aggregate suppliers in Contra Costa County, the Central Valley, and the greater Bay Area. Many also use recycled aggregate or river rock depending on project needs; Hello Gravel connects you to those local suppliers and haulers so you can compare material types and delivered pricing. Regional sourcing means color and texture will reflect local geology.
'Brentwood rock' is an informal term locals use to describe the common decorative river rock, pea gravel, and locally sourced crushed stone used in Brentwood yards. These materials are popular because they suit the area’s aesthetic and drainage needs, and they’re typically available from nearby suppliers. If you have a photo or color preference, add it to your Hello Gravel order notes to help match local options.
Gravel is popular in Brentwood because it’s low maintenance, helps with drainage on sloped or sandy soils, and fits drought-tolerant landscaping common in the area. It’s also versatile for driveways, pathways, and mulched planting areas, and often costs less over time than frequent water-dependent lawn care. Many homeowners choose gravel to match the agricultural and ranch-style character of parts of Brentwood.
Use crushed stone or crush-and-run mixes with 3/4" minus for driveways to provide compaction and load-bearing strength, decomposed granite or compactable fines for smooth walkways, and pea gravel or 1/2"–1" decorative rock for plant beds. Consider local soil (sandy or alluvial in Brentwood) and slope: steeper areas need edging and coarser stone to limit washout. If you’re unsure, request samples or ask Hello Gravel’s team for recommendations by project type.
Yes, Brentwood’s hot, dry summers and occasional heavy winter rains affect gravel: heat can fade some stone colors and dry conditions can create dust, while heavy rains can cause erosion or washout on unprotected slopes. Good installation with edging, proper base, and appropriate depth will reduce these issues and improve longevity. For drought-tolerant landscaping, choose lighter colors and sizes that minimize heat retention and dust.
To save on delivery, order the 3-ton minimum or more so your per-ton price drops, choose the standard 2+ business day delivery window when possible, and consolidate multiple small projects into a single delivery. Make sure your drop zone is easy for a tri-axle dump truck to access to avoid extra truck time or offload fees, and check Hello Gravel’s delivery options and local supplier rates for the best deal. You can also request free delivery areas or promotional offers when available.
Next-day delivery is available if you place your order before the company’s cutoff time of noon CST; because Brentwood is in Pacific Time you’ll want to place orders earlier in the day. Availability also depends on supplier stock, truck schedules, and zip-code service; check your zip code on the Hello Gravel site or call our team to confirm next-day options and any additional fees. Standard delivery is 2+ business days with no extra fee in many areas.
As of today, we require 2 business days for delivery.

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.
