Materials Available for Delivery
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.
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.
Red Shredded Mulch
Red shredded bark and wood from hardwoods like oak, hickory, and maple. Good for gardening and landscaping. Helps hold moisture, block weeds, and adds a bold, red pop to your outdoors.
Crushed Concrete
Recycled concrete aggregate for construction & landscaping. Often used for road base and sub-base applications, as fill material, and for erosion control. Typically 1 ½” down to fines.
#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 Los Altos Hills Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Los Altos Hills homeowners live in a community with a city population of 12,790 and access to a larger metro area population of 7.9+ million. That steady growth — a growth rate of 0.40% annually — typically translates into measured construction and remodeling demand rather than boom-style expansion, meaning many projects prioritize long-term durability and low maintenance. Local climate and geography further shape material needs: with 204 sunny days per year, an annual rainfall of 49.77 inches, and USDA hardiness zone 9a, properties need materials that handle both wet-season runoff and extended dry periods. For homeowners that translates into thoughtful choices across gravel, sand, dirt, mulch, and base materials so driveways, terraces, pathways, and planting beds drain well, retain moisture where needed, and resist erosion over time. The combination of an annual rainfall of 49.77 inches and 204 sunny days per year means materials must perform through alternating wet and dry conditions. Permeability, compaction resistance, and organic content become important factors when selecting aggregates, soil blends, and mulches; good grading and drainage planning reduce maintenance and protect landscape investments. Hello Gravel helps homeowners navigate these trade-offs by connecting them with locally sourced suppliers and hauling partners, offering quantity calculators and delivery scheduling so you get the right materials for Los Altos Hills conditions without guesswork.Popular Projects in Los Altos Hills This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Los Altos Hills Gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in Los Altos Hills.
Start by identifying the function you need: drainage, compaction, surface finish, or planting beds. Consider slope, expected traffic, and desired look—materials suited for drainage differ from those used for a finished surface. Use our material calculator or contact our team to match performance needs with local options like gravel, sand, dirt, and stone.
Choose materials based on stability and drainage: for steep or high-traffic driveways you generally want a firm, compactable base with a permeable surface to shed water. For erosion-prone slopes prioritize materials that help drainage and root establishment. Local suppliers can offer blends that reflect regional geology while balancing stability and runoff control.
Local geology affects color, texture, and particle shape, so materials sourced near Los Altos Hills may look and behave differently than images online. The area’s Mediterranean climate means dry summers and wetter winters, so pick materials that perform in both dry and wet conditions—draining materials for winter rains and stable surfaces for dry heat. Expect natural variation and ask about washed or screened options if appearance matters.
Calculate volume in cubic yards: area in square feet times depth in inches, divided by 324. Convert to tons using a general density range (roughly 1.2 to 1.7 tons per cubic yard depending on the material). Use our online material calculator or contact our sales team for a quick estimate if you’re unsure.
Standard delivery typically requires 2+ business days, and next-day delivery is available for orders placed before noon CST for an additional fee. Deliveries are made by contracted dump truck fleets (typically tri-axle) and you’ll choose a preferred delivery date at checkout. We’ll confirm timing and any access instructions before dispatch; exact arrival windows are not guaranteed.
Trucks can usually deliver to hilly or remote addresses, but they need safe access, room to turn, and adequate road weight limits. If access is tight, you may need to provide an alternate drop point, pay additional labor or equipment fees, or secure permits for street blocking. Provide photos and detailed notes at checkout so the hauler can plan for your site.
Drivers may be able to perform tailgate spreading at their discretion if it can be done safely, but this service is not guaranteed. You can request spreading at checkout and the driver will assess on arrival. For precise spreading or finishing, plan to hire a local landscaper or contractor.
Delivery cost depends on order size, distance from the supplier, access difficulty, special handling (screened/washed materials), and delivery timing (next-day or special time windows). Hilly or remote drop sites, tight turns, and permit needs can add fees. We show transparent pricing at checkout and our team can estimate extra charges if you provide site details.
Specialty options like screened or washed materials are often available from local suppliers, but availability and color/texture will depend on regional sourcing. These options can carry higher per-ton prices or minimums, so check product descriptions and add notes at checkout if you need a specific finish. Our team can help identify suppliers that stock the specialty material you want.
Clear the drop zone of vehicles, low branches, and obstacles, and mark the preferred dump location with flags or cones. Protect plants, irrigation lines, and hardscapes, and notify neighbors if trucks will block the road. Confirm any access instructions and phone number in your order notes so the driver can contact you on arrival.
Plan heavy grading, driveway work, and slope stabilization for the dry season—late spring through early fall—when soils are firmer and erosion risk is lower. Schedule erosion control, drainage fixes, and final grading before the winter rainy season to reduce washouts. If winter work is unavoidable, choose materials and timing that reduce compaction and runoff problems.
Contact our team as soon as possible—changes are easiest before the order is processed and dispatched. We will do our best to accommodate requests but cannot guarantee all changes once the truck is scheduled. For delivery issues or material concerns, reach out promptly so we can work toward a satisfactory resolution.
Natural materials vary by region, so color, texture, and particle size may differ from photos or samples. If the delivered material is substantially different than what was ordered, contact customer service with photos and order details and we will help evaluate next steps. Review our product descriptions and add appearance notes at checkout to reduce surprises.
As of today, we require 2 business days for delivery.

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.
