Topsoil & Mulch in Hayward, CA

Yes. Hello Gravel delivers topsoil and mulch to Hayward (common ZIP codes include 94541, 94542, 94544, 94545) subject to supplier availability; check your ZIP at checkout. Our standard delivery lead time is 2+ business days with next-day possible for orders placed before noon CST; minimum orders and delivery fees depend on supplier and typically require at least a 3-ton minimum for dump-truck deliveries — use our checkout or contact sales for exact pricing.

A typical 50 lb bag of mulch is about 2 cubic feet and covers roughly 8 sq ft at a 3-inch depth. For quick estimates: a 100 sq ft bed needs about 13 bags, 200 sq ft needs about 25 bags, and a 500 sq ft area needs about 63 bags. For larger jobs we recommend ordering by the cubic yard (1 cubic yard covers about 108 sq ft at 3 inches).

The simple '3-3-3' guideline is: aim for about 3 inches of mulch depth, keep mulch about 3 inches away from trunks and stems, and avoid piling mulch directly against plant crowns. For ordering, plan your coverage at a 3-inch depth and use our calculator to convert that depth into cubic yards or bags; this helps prevent rot and pest issues in Hayward's mild Mediterranean climate.

To raise soil level by 1 inch over 100 sq ft you need about 0.31 cubic yards (roughly 8.4 cu ft). For amending beds, a common approach is to add 2-4 inches of topsoil or compost over the existing bed — for a 100 sq ft bed that is about 0.6 to 1.2 cubic yards. Use our material calculator or contact our team with bed dimensions for a precise recommendation.

In the Bay Area, drought-tolerant options include coarse bark mulch, wood chips, and composted mulch that conserve moisture and slowly release nutrients. For planting beds, pair a high-quality screened topsoil or compost-amended topsoil with 2-3 inches of mulch to reduce irrigation needs. Regional suppliers may offer variations, so add color or texture preferences in Order Notes when you checkout.

Drivers may be able to perform tailgate spreading at their discretion and you can request the service at checkout, but spreading is not guaranteed and depends on safety and truck access. We provide guidance on placement and best practices; for full installation or landscaping services we can recommend local contractors but do not perform detailed installation ourselves.

Because we source materials regionally, color, texture, and particle size can vary based on local geology and supplier stock.

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.
