Fill Dirt
Versatile, lower-grade soil commonly used for volume and elevation changes in various construction and landscaping projects. Great for leveling or grading ground, backfilling pools and filling ditches, and evening out low points or depressions on your property.
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.
Driveway Gravel
A ¾”-1” clean, crushed stone ideal for rejuvenating worn down gravel driveways, or for installing a fresh new driveway on your property. Aesthetically pleasing and functional!
Road Base
(Class 5 | ABC | Crusher Run) A mixture of crushed limestone or granite, gravel, and sand, ranging from 1 ½” in size down to fines (small particles). 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.
#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.

Why Foster City Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Foster City has a city population of 12,790 and sits within a broader regional market of 7.9+ million residents, a combination that points to steady, manageable demand for home improvement and targeted construction projects. A growth rate of 0.40% annually indicates gradual expansion rather than rapid development, so many projects are homeowner-led renovations, landscape upgrades, and incremental infrastructure work rather than large-scale new developments. Local climate — about 204 sunny days per year and an annual rainfall of 49.77 inches in hardiness zone 9a — creates material needs that balance sun exposure with substantial seasonal moisture. Homeowners and contractors here benefit from reliable bulk supplies of gravel, sand, dirt, mulch, and stone that support drainage, erosion control, planting beds, and durable hardscapes adapted to these local conditions.Popular Projects in Foster City This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Foster City Gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in Foster City.
Homeowners and contractors in Foster City commonly order bulk materials like gravel, sand, dirt, and stone for landscaping, drainage, driveways, backfill, and erosion control. These materials are sourced locally, so texture and color may vary with regional geology. Tell our team what you are building and we can suggest suitable options and typical uses.
Choose based on the project's function: drainage, compaction, appearance, or planting. Consider whether you need a stable base (higher compaction), good drainage (coarser, angular material), or a finished surface (smaller, decorative aggregate). Use our material quiz or contact our sales team with project details for a recommendation.
Foster City’s Bay-adjacent, humid marine climate means materials will see more moisture and occasional salt exposure than inland sites. That favors well-draining aggregates and mixes that resist washout; finer materials may compact differently when wet. Account for drainage design and use local-sourced materials that are proven to perform in coastal conditions.
Foster City has mild weather year-round but sees the most rain in winter months, which can slow grading and spreading. Schedule major earthwork and finishing during drier months when possible, and allow extra lead time for winter deliveries. Our standard delivery window starts at 2+ business days and you can select preferred dates at checkout.
Hello Gravel has a minimum order of 3 tons; delivery pricing depends on material, quantity, and distance from the local supplier. Standard delivery typically requires 2+ business days, and next-day delivery is available for orders placed before noon CST for an additional fee. Check your zip code at checkout for exact pricing and delivery options.
Permit needs vary by project and location; some driveway modifications, curb cuts, tree work, or large grading jobs can require city permits or HOA approval. Check with the City of Foster City and your HOA early in the planning stage to confirm requirements. If you are unsure, our team can point you toward local resources, but we do not issue permits.
Access depends on street width, overhead clearances, gated yards, and any local weight limits or HOA rules for truck parking. Some neighborhoods or bridges have weight or noise restrictions; low-clearance or narrow streets can limit large dump truck access. Send photos and site notes when you order so we can confirm feasible delivery routes and suggest alternate drop locations if needed.
Some suppliers or drivers may offer tailgate spreading at their discretion, and you can request this service at checkout, but it is not guaranteed. For guaranteed placement or detailed spreading, consider hiring a local contractor who specializes in site finishing. Our drivers focus on safe offloading and will assess spreading feasibility on arrival.
Estimate material by measuring the project area and the desired depth, then convert area x depth into cubic yards and into tons using our material calculator. Typical depths: 2-4 inches for pathways, 4-6 inches for finished driveways, and 6+ inches for base layers. Use the online calculator or contact our sales team for a quick estimate based on your project and chosen material group.
Because we source materials regionally, texture, grading, and color can vary between suppliers and deliveries. You can add color or texture preferences in Order Notes, and our team will pass them to the supplier, but exact matches to photos cannot be guaranteed. If appearance is critical, request samples or a site visit from a contractor before ordering large quantities.
Clear obstructions and mark any underground utilities or irrigation lines, and make sure the intended drop area is reachable and free of vehicles. Notify neighbors or HOA if large trucks will block the street and confirm any required on-street parking or permits. Also confirm your preferred drop location in the order notes and have payment and contact details ready for delivery day.
Contact our customer service team as soon as possible; changes are easiest to make before the order is processed or dispatched. We will do our best to accommodate modifications, but changes after dispatch may be limited and could incur fees. Check your order confirmation for contact details and timing guidelines.
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.
Hassle Free! Our goal is to make the buying process for gravel and other aggregates as easy and seamless as possible. Enter your zip code on our site, select how much material you need (see below FAQ’s to determine order size), select the date and time frame you would like your material delivered at Checkout, and place your order with any major credit card. After the order is placed our in-house support team will contact you to confirm the details. We will send additional confirmations on the day before and the day of delivery. On delivery day, a dump truck will arrive to dump the materials at your specified location. We request that you have someone available to accept the delivery so that we can make sure to dump it in the correct location. That’s it!
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. We have a network of suppliers that we source the materials from where we have negotiated rates. However, we do charge a markup and because of this you may be able to find the materials cheaper on your own. But if you want a hassle free experience, then we are for you!
