Why Kentfield Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Kentfield is a small, close-knit community with a city population of 320 that sits inside a larger metro area with a population of 2.5+ million. With a measured growth rate of 0.40% annually and a temperate local climate — 228 sunny days annually, an annual rainfall of 34.25 inches, and a hardiness zone of 8b — homeowners here see steady but selective development and frequent outdoor projects. That combination of mild, wet winters and long sunny stretches means residents often need materials to manage grading, drainage, and landscape transitions. Quality aggregates matter because they reduce erosion, support foundations for patios and steps, and provide a stable base for regrading yards after construction or remediation.Popular Projects in Kentfield This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Kentfield Fill Dirt Delivery
Everything you need to know about fill dirt delivery in Kentfield.
Fill dirt is mostly natural soil with few organic materials used to raise or level ground, fill low spots, and build up landscape beds. In Kentfield's coastal, often clay-rich soils, fill dirt is commonly used to bring yard grades up, backfill after utility work, or create base fill under lawns and garden areas. It is not a structural engineered fill for building foundations unless specified and tested by an engineer.
A rough rule: 1 cubic yard covers 81 square feet at 4 inches deep. For example, a 2-car driveway 12 by 50 feet at 4-6 inches of fill needs about 8 to 12 cubic yards (roughly 10 to 18 tons, depending on moisture). Use our material calculator or contact Hello Gravel with project dimensions for a tailored estimate.
Costs vary by distance, load size, and supplier availability in Marin County. Many areas have free or low-fee delivery with Hello Gravel, but expect quotes to reflect local haul time and truck access; small loads under the truck minimum or remote drop sites may carry extra fees. The fastest way to know is to enter your zip code on Hello Gravel or request a quote — we show delivery fees upfront before purchase.
Same-week delivery is often possible from our Marin County suppliers, especially for standard fill dirt, but it depends on supplier schedules and seasonal demand. Hello Gravel offers a next-day option if available and ordered early; check available dates at checkout or contact our team to confirm a preferred delivery window. Because Kentfield is a small community, flexible scheduling is subject to local truck availability.
Unincorporated Kentfield is governed by Marin County, which may require permits for significant grading, changes to drainage, or large cut-and-fill projects. Small landscaping fills usually do not need permits, but any work affecting runoff, retaining walls, or slope stability often does. Check with Marin County Planning and Building before major grading and consult Hello Gravel or a local contractor for permit guidance.
In Kentfield's coastal climate with clay tendencies, a well-draining, low-organic fill dirt blend is preferred to avoid long-term settling and moisture retention. Suppliers often offer screened fill or fill with a small sand/rock content to improve drainage; for areas near slopes or foundations, consider engineered fill or a structural base instead. Tell your Hello Gravel agent about clay soil and slope conditions so we can source the best local mix.
Fill dirt is economical for raising grades but is not ideal as a driveway base because it can retain moisture and rut under load. Crushed rock and engineered fill provide drainage and a stable, compactable base for driveways and are generally recommended in Marin County's damp coastal climate. For driveway projects, pair compacted engineered base material with a surface layer like compacted crusher-run or gravel for long-term performance.
Fill dirt will settle after placement; with proper mechanical compaction in 6- to 12-inch lifts, you can achieve much of the immediate settlement. For structural work or foundations, engineers typically require engineered fill, compaction testing, and a waiting period — sometimes weeks to months depending on moisture and depth. For landscaping, allow a short settling period and plan for minor top-up and regrading after heavy rain or seasonal settling.
Fill dirt can help reshape grades to move water away from structures, but on slopes you must combine it with proper drainage measures like perforated drain pipe, gravel drainage layers, terraces, or vegetation. For small retaining walls, use structural backfill (gravel) directly behind the wall for drainage and compact fill dirt above that. If erosion is a concern on coastal slopes, ask for erosion-control recommendations and consider hydro-seeding, matting, or native plantings.
Large stockpiles can create dust and runoff risks in Marin County's wet winters and windy periods; control measures include covering piles, watering to suppress dust, and keeping stockpiles away from storm drains. Check local erosion and stormwater rules if you will store or place large fills, and plan for regrading and added topsoil or mulch for planting. When in doubt, tell us how you will store material and we can advise on best practices and local requirements.

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.
