Why Burlingame Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Burlingame is a compact, established community of 40,832 residents, growing at a steady 0.70% annually. With about 228 sunny days a year and 34.25 inches of rain, its Mediterranean-like climate and hardiness zone 8b favor outdoor projects year-round but also demand smart site preparation. Home renovation, yard regrading, and new landscape beds are common as homeowners balance aesthetic upgrades with stormwater management. That steady growth and active renovation market create regular demand for reliable aggregates—especially materials used to level, compact, or bulk up low areas. Many homeowners seek quality fill materials to avoid future settling, support hardscapes, and ensure proper grading for drainage. Clear product information and accurate quantity estimates matter here: a misjudged load can result in extra truck trips or uncovered grading problems. For Burlingame projects, a straightforward supplier that links local material quality with scheduled delivery helps keep jobs on time and on budget.Popular Projects in Burlingame This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Burlingame Fill Dirt Delivery
Everything you need to know about fill dirt delivery in Burlingame.
Fill dirt is generally less expensive per cubic yard than decorative gravel because it is a basic, unsorted earth material. In Burlingame the final delivered price still depends on haul distance, truck access, and whether the dirt is screened or tested, so get a local quote to compare exact costs.
Fill dirt alone is not a good surface for a driveway because it compacts unevenly and can become muddy or rut over time. It is cheaper as a bulk material to raise grade, but you should plan to add a compacted crushed stone base and a surface layer of gravel or pavement for a durable driveway.
Use clean, low-organic, well-graded fill dirt or structural fill that compacts well and drains. For Burlingame projects, ask for fill labeled 'clean fill' or 'structural fill,' and follow up with a compacted crushed-rock base for strength and drainage.
Yes, blending a small amount of crushed rock with fill dirt can improve drainage and compaction, but it does not replace an engineered base. For any driveway or load-bearing area in Burlingame, use compacted fill for raising grade and a separate crushed-stone base layer for structural support.
Calculate cubic yards by multiplying area (sq ft) by depth (ft) and dividing by 27. For example, 1,000 sq ft at 3 inches (0.25 ft) is about 9.3 cubic yards, which is roughly 11 to 13 tons depending on moisture and compaction. Use our material calculator or request a quote for a more exact local estimate.
Prices vary with supply, distance, and truck type, but Bay Area deliveries like Burlingame are typically higher than national averages. Expect to contact suppliers for a delivered price; Hello Gravel can connect you with local haulers to get accurate, up-to-date quotes for your address.
A typical tri-axle dump truck that Hello Gravel works with carries roughly 10 to 14 cubic yards, which commonly equals about 12 to 18 tons depending on moisture and material density. We list a 3-ton minimum order on the site, and our team can confirm exact truck capacities for your delivery.
No, 2 inches of fill dirt is not enough for a driveway or areas that will receive vehicle traffic. You typically need several inches of compacted fill plus a 4 to 8 inch crushed-rock base and a suitable surface layer to ensure stability in Burlingame soils and drainage conditions.
You can place fill dirt over existing soil, but preparation matters: remove organic material, roots, and topsoil where possible, then place thin lifts and compact each layer. Proper preparation and compaction are important in Burlingame to control settlement and prevent drainage issues.
Coverage depends on depth. As a rule of thumb, one ton of typical fill dirt is about 0.7 to 0.8 cubic yards, which covers roughly 250 square feet at 1 inch depth. Use the area-depth-volume formula to scale up for your specific project.
No, compacted fill dirt will firm up but it will not harden like concrete or engineered soil cement. If you need a hard, load-bearing surface in Burlingame, plan for an engineered base or paving material rather than relying on compacted fill alone.
Potential downsides include uneven settlement, poor drainage if not placed and compacted correctly, and higher maintenance compared with finished surfaces. Also check for local restrictions because raising grade or changing drainage on a Burlingame property can affect neighboring properties and may require permits.
Prepare the subgrade by removing organic topsoil, placing clean compactable fill in thin lifts, and compacting each lift. Then install a geotextile fabric if needed, followed by a 4 to 8 inch compacted crushed-rock base and a finished gravel surface for long-term performance in Burlingame's climate.
Adding fill dirt can help by improving usable grade, fixing drainage, or creating level pads for landscaping or structures, which can make your property more functional. However, fill dirt by itself is neutral; the value comes from proper grading, drainage control, and any finished improvements you build on top.
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.
