Commonly used for constructing roads, driveway bases, parking lots, and other paved and unpaved surfaces. Intended to be compacted, hence the inclusion of fines within the material to provide support and be resistant to erosion and shifting.

Why Brisbane Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Brisbane is a compact community of 4,350 residents within a growing West California metro of 2.7+ million. With a steady growth rate of 1.00% annually and a mild climate that averages 228 sunny days per year and 34.25 inches of rain, homeowners in Brisbane are regularly updating yards, driveways, and small construction projects. The city’s location in hardiness zone 8b and its mix of urban and natural terrain create steady demand for dependable aggregates—especially materials that support drainage, erosion control, and low-maintenance landscaping. For many local projects, gravel is an easy, long-lasting choice that helps manage water, stabilize soil, and reduce upkeep compared with organic mulches or bare earth.Popular Projects in Brisbane This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Brisbane gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in Brisbane.
Prices vary by material type, delivery distance, and order size, but typical delivered gravel in the West California region falls in a broad range. For an exact price for Brisbane (zip-specific), enter your zip code or request a quote on our site — we show transparent pricing and any delivery fees before you pay.
Hello Gravel connects you with local suppliers in the Brisbane area and coordinates delivery by contracted dump trucks. Many orders qualify for free delivery, but fees depend on distance, access, and quantity; minimum orders start at 3 tons.
For driveways in Brisbane’s mild, coastal Mediterranean conditions, 3/4" crushed rock (angular, with some fines) is a common choice because it compacts well and sheds water. Decomposed granite (DG) with a stabilizer can work for lower-traffic areas and patios, while pea gravel is usually not ideal for driveways because it shifts under vehicle traffic.
Use the formula: tons = area (sq ft) * depth (inches) / 324 * 1.4 (approx). For 500 sq ft: 2" depth ≈ 4.3 tons, 3" ≈ 6.5 tons, and 4" ≈ 8.6 tons. A 2-car driveway commonly ranges from 400 to 600 sq ft so adjust accordingly; Hello Gravel’s calculator can compute exact amounts for your project.
On slopes and clay soils, angular crushed rock is usually best because it locks together and resists movement when compacted. Decomposed granite with stabilizer can be a good option for paths and gentler slopes, while pea gravel tends to roll and migrate on inclines and is less suitable for driveways and erosion-prone areas.
DIY can save labor costs if you have tools and experience grading, compacting, and handling drainage; expect to rent a plate compactor and possibly a small excavator for base work. Contractors bring grading, compaction, and drainage expertise and are a good choice on hilly sites or when permits or HOA rules apply; ask for local references and a line-item estimate for materials and labor.
Expect routine maintenance like regrading, topping up loose stone, and patching low spots every 1 to 3 years depending on traffic and winter rains. With proper drainage and periodic maintenance, a well-built gravel driveway in Brisbane can last a decade or longer before major rehabilitation is needed.
Permit and HOA rules vary — some projects (especially ones that change driveway footprint or affect stormwater) may require city permits or HOA approval. Check with the City of Brisbane planning department and your HOA before starting; Hello Gravel can help by providing material specs for permit applications.
Gravel is typically less expensive up front than asphalt or concrete and offers good permeability for stormwater if installed with proper base and grading. Asphalt and concrete provide lower maintenance for vehicle use but increase runoff; permeable pavers or stabilized gravel systems offer a middle ground for drainage but usually cost more than loose gravel.
For erosion control and walking trails on small slopes, use angular crushed rock or larger 1" to 2" crushed stone over a well-graded base and geotextile fabric. Combining rock with terraces, check dams, or vegetation and installing proper drainage will reduce erosion on Brisbane’s hilly terrain.
Yes — many Bay Area contractors and landscapers offer permeable gravel or stabilized systems designed to reduce runoff, but compliance depends on project scale and local stormwater rules. Before proceeding, check City of Brisbane and San Mateo County stormwater requirements and ask contractors for examples of compliant installations.
Measure your area and depth then use Hello Gravel’s calculator or call our team for help — minimum order is 3 tons and deliveries arrive by dump truck. Request delivery notes for access constraints, ask about tailgate spreading at checkout (driver discretion), and add photos or site notes to the order to help suppliers prepare.
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.
