1 1/2″ Crushed Gravel
Larger 1 ½” gravel perfect for french drains, drainage ditches, catch basins, and erosion control. Also used in base layers for road projects in areas with poor soil conditions, as backfill material, and for ground cover applications where smaller stones may wash away.
#57 Crushed Stone
Multi-use crushed stone for home & landscape projects. Ranging from ¾” to 1” in size, #57 stone is a versatile product used for concrete production, drainage applications, driveways, parking lots, and as base material under slabs and footings. Large enough to provide drainage but small enough to lock together when applied and create a stable base and a relatively smooth surface.
Black Shredded Mulch
Rich black shredded hardwood mulch made from oak, hickory, and maple. Holds in moisture, blocks weeds, and gives your garden beds a bold look that makes green plants and colorful flowers stand out.
Walkway Gravel
A smaller ⅜” crushed stone that is great for paths, patios, and garden walkways. Comfortable under foot thanks to its smaller size, and creates a beautiful garden-like atmosphere.
Mason Sand
A fine, clean sand for construction and masonry. Use it under pavers or turf, mix it into mortar or soil, or spread it across your lawn to smooth out bumps and low spots in your lawn.

Why East Palo Alto Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
East Palo Alto, with a city population of 86,482 and located within a metro area of 2.7+ million, sits in a temperate Northern California corridor where steady growth of 0.40% annually has translated into consistent demand for home improvements, infill projects, and small-scale construction. That modest, ongoing growth means homeowners and local contractors are often renovating rather than building from scratch, increasing need for reliable bulk materials for patios, pathways, drainage upgrades, and garden overhauls. The local climate—228 sunny days per year and 34.25 inches of annual rainfall in hardiness zone 8b—creates a balance of dry summers and wet winters that drives interest in materials that manage both drought stress and winter runoff. Quality bulk supplies (gravel, sand, dirt, mulch, and stone) matter here because they control drainage, stabilize surfaces, and support plant health across seasonal extremes while reflecting the region's geology and urban site constraints. Local soil and weather patterns bring specific performance requirements for aggregates and soils. Winters with 34.25 inches of rain increase the importance of well-graded base materials and erosion-control mixes that shed water and resist washout; summers with 228 sunny days mean materials must tolerate UV exposure and support drought-tolerant plantings suited to hardiness zone 8b. For homeowners, that means prioritizing drainage capacity, compaction properties, and organic content appropriate for planting beds and lawn replacements. Hello Gravel helps by connecting you to regional suppliers, providing material calculators and expert guidance, and coordinating delivery so you can choose materials matched to East Palo Alto's climate, soils, and steady renovation-driven demand.Popular Projects in East Palo Alto This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - East Palo Alto Gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in East Palo Alto.
Delivery costs depend on material type, order size, and distance from the supplier. Bay Area rates tend to be higher than national averages because of fuel, labor, and traffic; quotes are usually given per ton or per cubic yard. Hello Gravel shows upfront pricing during checkout and requires a minimum order of 3 tons, so get a quote for an accurate cost estimate.
Choose materials that drain well and compact properly for your project purpose. For base layers use coarser aggregate for stability, and finish with a decorative top layer suited to foot or vehicle traffic; gravel, sand, dirt, stone can be combined to meet drainage and aesthetic needs. Local sourcing means textures and colors will reflect local geology, so request samples or photos when possible.
Standard delivery times are typically 2+ business days from order confirmation. Next-day delivery is often available for orders placed before noon CST for an additional fee, but same-day delivery is rare and depends on local supplier availability and your zip code. Check availability for 94303 during checkout or contact the team for faster scheduling options.
Small deliveries to private property usually do not require a permit, but large deliveries, street parking for dump trucks, or work that affects the public right-of-way may require a city or county permit. HOA rules can also restrict delivery times, truck access, or material storage, so check with East Palo Alto city offices and your HOA before scheduling. If you expect street blocking or sidewalk obstruction, plan ahead and notify us so we can coordinate with haulers.
Most local suppliers who service the San Francisco-Oakland metro deliver to East Palo Alto and the primary zip 94303, but service can vary by neighborhood due to truck access and supplier coverage. Narrow streets, gated communities, or restricted parking can affect whether a tri-axle dump truck can make a direct drop. Enter your zip code at checkout or contact our team to confirm service to your specific address.
Contractors measure the project area and multiply by the desired depth to get cubic yards, then convert to tons using material density. They add line items for delivery, labor for spreading/installation, compaction, and any permits or disposal needed. Hello Gravel's material calculator and sales team can help translate your measurements into accurate quantities and a transparent quote.
Winter rains can make delivery and compaction harder, so schedule earthwork and compaction in drier months when possible. Drought restrictions may affect planting or mulch timelines, but aggregates like gravel and stone are generally less affected; still, wet weather can cause tracking and site mess. Plan around local weather forecasts and allow extra time for deliveries during the rainy season.
Narrow streets, low overhead wires, tight driveways, and limited parking can require shorter-distance dumping or hand-spreading, which adds labor and cost. Standard deliveries are made by tri-axle dump trucks, so if a full-size truck can't access your site, the hauler may need to park on a nearby street and use smaller equipment. Tell us about access issues when ordering so we can route the right truck and give an accurate price.
Yes. Larger commercial orders often receive volume-based pricing and different invoicing terms, while residential orders are priced to reflect smaller quantities, minimum order sizes, and individual delivery logistics. Factors that affect price include quantity, frequency of delivery, site access, and whether spreading or installation is requested. Request a commercial account or bulk pricing if you have ongoing or large-scale needs.
Many suppliers and haulers in the Bay Area offer hauling and basic tailgate spreading, but full installation or landscaping services are usually provided by contractors. Tailgate spreading is available at the driver's discretion and should be requested at checkout, but it is not guaranteed. If you need installation, ask our team for referrals or include installation details so we can connect you with qualified local professionals.
As of today, we require 2 business days for delivery.

The material will be delivered via dump truck. If your order is under 20 tons, then it will likely be just one dump truck load. If your order is more than 20 tons, it will be more than one dump truck load.

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.

No, because we are a national supplier, we utilize our existing network of suppliers across the country. Therefore, the materials will likely be delivered from a contracted trucking company.
We specialize in making the aggregate buying process as easy and seamless as possible by managing the process from end to end.
