Why Corte Madera Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Corte Madera is a community of 9,752 residents within the Fresno metro region, part of a 2.5+ million population area experiencing steady change. With a growth rate of 0.80% annually, abundant sunshine (228 sunny days per year), and moderate rainfall (35.55 inches annually), homeowners and local contractors are frequently updating landscapes and hardscapes. The town's climate and hardiness zone 8b favor drought-tolerant plantings and material choices that balance drainage with water conservation. That combination drives demand for reliable aggregates—gravel for permeable driveways, drainage trenches, pathways, and as a stable base for pavers—because it reduces erosion, improves runoff control, and supports low-maintenance yards. Local sourcing helps match material texture and color to regional soils, which matters for both curb appeal and long-term performance.Popular Projects in Corte Madera This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Corte Madera gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in Corte Madera.
Costs vary by material type, depth, and whether you hire labor. Expect delivered material prices in the Bay Area to commonly range from about $40 to $120 per ton depending on type (crushed stone, decomposed granite, pea gravel), plus installation and site prep labor that can range from a few hundred to several thousand dollars for driveway-scale jobs. Hello Gravel shows exact pricing for your address and can connect you with local suppliers and contractor quotes to get a firm number.
Common choices in Corte Madera are 3/4" crushed rock for driveways, decomposed granite (DG) for pathways and patios, pea gravel for decorative areas, and river rock for accent beds. Local suppliers also offer base mixes (crusher run) and recycled aggregates; regional geology means exact color and texture will vary.
Corte Madera has a mild, coastal climate with wetter winters, so good drainage is essential to prevent rutting and washout. Choose angular, well-draining aggregates (crushed rock or DG on a compacted base), include proper slope and perimeter drainage, and consider permeable designs to manage winter runoff and local stormwater rules.
Replacing a lawn with gravel usually falls under landscaping and often does not require a permit, but driveway alterations, curb cuts, changes to impervious surface coverage, or grading work may require permits or review. Check with the Town of Corte Madera Planning and Public Works departments and your HOA before starting work; Hello Gravel can help you identify when permits are likely needed.
Quantity depends on area and depth. As examples: a typical 2-car driveway (about 800 sq ft) at 4" depth needs roughly 9.9 cubic yards (about 11-14 tons), while a 400 sq ft 2-car driveway at 4" needs about 4.9 cubic yards (about 6-7 tons). A 500 sq ft patio at 2" depth needs about 3.1 cubic yards (about 4-5 tons) and at 3" about 4.6 cubic yards (about 6-7 tons). These are estimates—use our material calculator or contact Hello Gravel for a precise quote (note minimum order is 3 tons).
Hello Gravel sources materials regionally, so Corte Madera deliveries are usually supplied by Bay Area quarries and material yards. Standard delivery is 2+ business days after ordering; next-day delivery may be available for an extra fee if you meet the cutoff at checkout. Delivery time can be longer if a specific, out-of-area material is requested, and all deliveries come by contracted dump truck with minimum order requirements.
A compacted base of 3/4" minus crusher-run or class II base on top of a geotextile fabric is a common approach to stabilize gravel. Add a sturdy edge restraint—galvanized steel, concrete curb, or stone edging—to keep material contained, and on steeper slopes consider terraces, retaining walls, or drainage swales to control runoff and prevent washout.
With proper base, drainage, and periodic upkeep (regrading, topping up, and compacting), a gravel driveway in Corte Madera can function well for 10 to 25 years. Expect occasional maintenance like regrading and adding 1-3 tons of material every few years; DIY maintenance is inexpensive, while hiring a contractor to regrade or add material will increase costs depending on scale.
Gravel has a lower up-front cost and provides good permeability, allowing stormwater to infiltrate where designed correctly. Permeable pavers offer better long-term stormwater control and a finished look but cost more up front and require a proper base; asphalt gives a smooth, durable surface but is impervious and may trigger stricter stormwater rules. Choose based on budget, desired appearance, maintenance willingness, and local runoff or permit requirements.
Hello Gravel can connect you to vetted local suppliers and haulers serving Corte Madera. You can also search local landscape contractors, paving companies, and yard reviews on sites like Yelp and the Marin County contractor listings; always ask for references, proof of insurance, and examples of nearby work when hiring.
Yes—you can add color or material preferences in the Order Notes at checkout and we will pass them to the supplier, but keep in mind regional sourcing means exact color and texture may vary. If color match is critical, ask for a sample or photos from the supplier before delivery so you can approve the material.
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.
