Why Colma Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Colma, with a city population of 1.0+ million and a metro area population of 2.5+ million, sits in a temperate West California setting that is growing steadily at 0.70% annually. The area’s climate—hardiness zone 8b, about 228 sunny days per year, and 34.25 inches of annual rainfall—supports year-round landscaping and construction work, which keeps demand for quality aggregates steady. Homeowners and contractors here routinely need gravel for driveways, drainage upgrades, path surfacing, and base layers for patios and sheds. Because materials reflect local geology, selecting the right gravel size and composition matters for drainage performance, compaction, and long-term maintenance.

Frequently Asked Questions - Colma gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in Colma.
In Colma and the greater West California/Bay Area, expect delivered gravel prices to vary by material and availability. Typical ranges are about $60 to $140 per ton for new quarry gravel and $40 to $90 per ton for recycled crush, not including installation labor. Final cost depends on material type, delivery access, truck sizing, and whether you need spreading or special placement; get a quote for an exact price.
For driveways we recommend angular crushed rock (commonly 3/4" minus) for good compaction and load-bearing. Decomposed granite (DG) makes a stable, more finished surface for walkways and patios, while pea gravel is best as a decorative top layer or low-traffic path. Because materials are regionally sourced, color and texture will reflect local geology; ask for photos or notes at checkout if you have a color preference.
Use this simple method: tons = area (sq ft) * depth (ft) / 27 * material density. A typical density for crushed gravel is about 1.4 tons per cubic yard, which gives roughly 0.0086 tons per sq ft at 2" depth, 0.0130 tons per sq ft at 3" depth, and 0.0173 tons per sq ft at 4" depth. For example, a 600 sq ft driveway requires about 5.2 tons at 2", 7.8 tons at 3", and 10.4 tons at 4"; note our minimum order is 3 tons.
Permit and HOA rules vary—small surface resurface projects often do not need a city permit, but changes that affect curb cuts, driveway width, stormwater runoff, or impervious surface limits may require review. Check the Town of Colma Building Department and your HOA before major changes. If you need documentation for a quote or permit, we can help supply material specs and delivery details.
Colma's mild, often foggy coastal climate reduces extreme freeze-thaw stress but brings periodic moisture that can encourage weed growth and allow fines to bind. Good drainage and a stable base are important to avoid rutting where water ponds. Because dust is usually less of an issue here, you may want a slightly coarser top layer to improve traction and reduce tracking indoors.
Start with a well-graded subbase: excavate to needed depth and install 4" to 6" of compacted angular crushed rock for typical residential driveways; increase to 8" to 12" for heavy trucks. Install geotextile fabric to separate native soil from the base, use edge restraints (steel or concrete) to hold material, and compact each lift with a plate compactor. Proper drainage slope and catchment away from structures are also crucial in Colma's rainy months.
Gravel is the most permeable and usually the least expensive up front, so it helps with on-site infiltration but needs regular raking and periodic top-ups. Asphalt is durable and low-maintenance short term but is impervious and can increase runoff concerns. Permeable pavers offer the best long-term control of stormwater with lower maintenance than gravel but cost significantly more to install; choose based on budget, runoff rules, and desired look.
Yes, recycled crush is commonly available in the Bay Area and is often less expensive than new quarry stone. Recycled material can contain a mix of fines and different stone types, which helps it bind and compact but may not have uniform color or long-term durability compared with new crushed stone. Always request a sample and ask about screenings and contaminants if you need consistent performance or a specific appearance.
Plan on annual tasks like raking, redistributing low spots, spot-compacting, and seasonal weed control; you may need a light top-up every 2 to 5 years and a larger replenishment or regrading every 5 to 15 years depending on use. Annual upkeep costs for a typical residential driveway are often in the $50 to $400 range depending on materials and whether you hire a service. Proper initial base work reduces long-term maintenance and extends lifespan.
Many local contractors and landscape crews offer bundled services that include delivery, base prep, weed barrier, edging, and spreading. Prices vary by scope: expect basic installation labor to commonly range from about $2 to $6 per sq ft, while full installations with excavation, a thick compacted base, and edging often run $6 to $15 per sq ft; some contractors also price by the ton, often adding $20 to $60 per ton for placement. Get multiple written quotes and confirm whether delivery is included or quoted separately.
We connect you with local suppliers who typically deliver via tri-axle dump trucks; standard delivery is 2+ business days and next-day delivery is available for orders placed before noon CST with an additional fee. Our minimum order is 3 tons, drivers may offer tailgate spreading at their discretion, and regional sourcing means color and texture can vary. Add delivery notes at checkout for placement instructions and contact our team if you have tight access or permit constraints.
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.
