Why Bolinas Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Bolinas, population 960, sits in a compact coastal metro of 47,310 with a measured growth rate of 0.20% annually. The town's temperate coastal geography, paired with 260 sunny days per year and 38.00 inches of rainfall, creates conditions that support gardens, terraces, and careful residential improvements. Local homeowners often face small-lot constraints, soft coastal soils, and slope-driven drainage issues, so construction and landscaping projects tend to favor materials that perform reliably over time. For modest new builds, driveway repairs, or yard regrading, quality aggregates are sought to provide stable, compactable fill that resists washout and preserves property character in hardiness zone 9b. Thoughtful material selection helps manage runoff, reduce future maintenance, and match the community’s measured approach to growth and infrastructure improvements.Popular Projects in Bolinas This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Bolinas Fill Dirt Delivery
Everything you need to know about fill dirt delivery in Bolinas.
Fill dirt is subsoil material with few organics used to raise or level ground, fill holes, or create a stable base under structures. In Bolinas you’d use it for raising low spots, building up a driveway base before rock or paving, or preparing a pad for a shed or retaining wall. It is not meant for planting beds, because it lacks the nutrients and organic matter plants need.
Measure the area in square feet and the depth you need in feet, then use this formula: area x depth / 27 = cubic yards. Fill dirt typically weighs about 1.2 to 1.4 tons per cubic yard depending on moisture and compaction, so multiply cubic yards by that range to estimate tons. Order at least 5-15% extra to allow for compaction and settlement, especially on coastal slopes in Bolinas.
Hello Gravel arranges delivery by dump truck (typically tri-axle). Bolinas has narrow, sometimes steep roads, so confirm truck access and a safe drop zone before delivery, clear any low-hanging branches, and make sure on-street parking restrictions or permits won’t block the truck. If access is tight, you may need to select a nearby staging area where the truck can safely unload.
No, fill dirt is not a substitute for topsoil. It lacks organic matter and nutrients plants need, so use a layer of quality topsoil or amended garden soil on top of fill dirt for planting areas. For flower beds or lawns in Bolinas’ coastal climate, plan to spread 4 to 6 inches of topsoil or compost-amended soil over the filled area.
Yes, fill dirt will settle, especially if placed in thick lifts without compaction or if it contains loose pockets. Expect initial settlement and allow an extra 5-15% volume when ordering; larger fills or wetter material may settle more. For structural or driveway work in Bolinas, compact fill in 6- to 8-inch lifts and consider professional compaction to reduce future settling.
Possibly. Bolinas is in Marin County and is near sensitive areas like Bolinas Lagoon, so grading, shoreline work, or large imports of fill may require county permits or environmental review. Always check with Marin County Planning and Public Works and confirm there are no local restrictions related to wetlands, erosion control, or septic systems before ordering large quantities.
Price depends on material volume, distance from the supplier, truck access and staging difficulty, whether clean or screened fill is required, and any special handling or testing. Local sourcing often lowers cost, but tight access in Bolinas or required permits can add fees. For an accurate price, request a quote that lists delivery, tonnage, and any site-specific charges.
Standard delivery is 2+ business days, and next-day delivery is available for orders placed before noon CST for an additional fee, subject to supplier availability. Drivers may be able to perform tailgate spreading at their discretion, but spreading is not guaranteed and depends on site safety and access. Hello Gravel’s minimum order is 3 tons, so plan quantities accordingly.
Some suppliers offer tested or 'clean fill' certified free of construction debris and contaminants; testing may be required for sensitive sites or permit conditions near Bolinas Lagoon. If you need clean fill, request source and testing information when you order and add that requirement in the Order Notes. For projects affecting wetlands or regulated areas, a lab report or documentation may be necessary.
Mark the desired drop location clearly, remove vegetation or debris from that area, and identify or stake utility lines to prevent damage. Make room for the truck to turn and park, protect nearby landscaping and driveways, and plan erosion control if rain is expected. Contact Hello Gravel with photos or notes about access so the supplier can advise on staging and safe delivery.
Yes, contractors can order large volumes through Hello Gravel’s network of local suppliers and haulers, and bulk pricing or scheduling options are available depending on quantity and frequency. Truckloads are planned per project size and regional supplier capacity, so contact our sales team for quotes, delivery windows, and coordination for multiple loads. Contractors should also review access constraints in Bolinas and plan for compaction and staging between loads.
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.
