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.
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.
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.
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.
Decomposed Granite
Known for its natural look, this compact, durable material drains well and holds up in high-traffic areas. Made from crushed and weathered granite down to a mix of fine gravel and sand—best for patios, paths, driveways, and landscape projects. Can range in color from light brown and tan to reddish and gray, depending on the natural stone color in the region.

Why Monte Sereno Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Monte Sereno has a city population of 12,790 and sits within a larger regional market whose metro area population is 7.9+ million. With a growth rate of 0.40% annually, demand for renovation and incremental construction projects tends to be steady rather than boom-driven — homeowners typically invest in upgrades, landscape refreshes, and targeted additions instead of large-scale new subdivisions. Local climate and geography — about 204 sunny days per year, 49.77 inches of annual rainfall, and a USDA hardiness zone of 9a — create a need for materials that manage both runoff and sun exposure. That translates into choices that balance drainage (proper base rock, sand, and engineered soils), erosion control (mulch and specialty soils), and durable surfaces that stand up to UV and seasonal wet periods. For Monte Sereno homeowners, good bulk materials—gravel, sand, dirt, mulch, and stone—help ensure long-lasting paths, patios, terraces, and planting beds that perform through the seasons.Popular Projects in Monte Sereno This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Monte Sereno Gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in Monte Sereno.
Start by thinking about use, appearance, and maintenance: do you need something durable for vehicles, decorative for curb appeal, or low-maintenance for foot traffic? Consider local climate and slope: materials that pack well and allow drainage are often best for hilly areas. Ask for samples or photos of locally sourced gravel, sand, dirt, and stone to see color and texture. Use our material calculator or contact our team for a recommendation based on your project size.
On slopes, prioritize materials that promote drainage and resist erosion, and pair them with proper base and edging systems. Well-graded aggregates and angular stone tend to lock together better than rounded materials, while mixes that include a finer fraction can reduce movement. Combine materials with erosion controls such as geotextile fabric, retaining edges, or terrace planting for best results. Consult a contractor for steep slopes and for any required grading work.
Measure the area (length x width x desired depth) and convert to cubic yards, then add 5-10% for compaction and waste. For thin layers like topdressing or weed barrier cover, 2-3 inches is typical; for driveway bases, 6-8 inches or more may be needed. Our online material calculator can help convert between square feet and tons or yards and suggest a minimum order. If in doubt, contact our team with your dimensions and we'll help estimate quantities.
In Monte Sereno's West California climate, most homeowners schedule major outdoor work in spring through early fall when weather is drier and ground is more stable. Avoid scheduling right after heavy rains because wet soil and materials can compact poorly and delivery sites may be muddy. Book deliveries at least a few days ahead during peak seasons to secure preferred dates. If you need faster service, next-day delivery may be available when ordered before noon CST for an extra fee.
Yes, many projects affecting grading, drainage, driveway width, or impervious surface may require permits or approvals from the City of Monte Sereno or Santa Clara County. Check with city planning or county building departments before starting work to confirm zoning, stormwater, and grading rules. Homeowner associations may also have material or appearance restrictions. When in doubt, get documentation before ordering bulk materials to avoid rework.
We connect you with local suppliers and contracted dump truck haulers who deliver by scheduled appointment. Standard delivery generally takes 2+ business days, with next-day options available for orders placed by noon CST for an extra fee. Drivers may be able to perform tailgate spreading at their discretion—request it at checkout but expect the driver to assess safety on arrival. Make sure your site has clear access and a safe drop area, and note any delivery instructions in the order notes.
Consider upfront cost, how often the material will need replenishing, and labor for maintenance like raking, re-compacting, or replacement after erosion. Some materials require periodic top-ups every few years while others are more permanent but may need edging or weed control. Factor in local climate effects—wet winters can increase erosion or compaction needs—and plan a maintenance schedule and budget accordingly. For a cost-focused view, ask our team for life-cycle considerations for the group of gravel, sand, dirt, and stone.
Because we source regionally, texture and color can vary from photos and samples; natural variation is normal for materials like gravel, sand, dirt, and stone. If the material seems significantly different than what you ordered, contact customer service promptly with photos and your order details so we can investigate and work toward a satisfactory solution. We recommend ordering a small sample or visiting a local supplier display when color and texture are critical to the project.
Drivers may be able to perform tailgate spreading at their discretion, but this service is not guaranteed and depends on safety, load size, and local rules. Request tailgate spreading at checkout and include site conditions in your order notes so the driver can plan for access and space. If spreading is important, consider arranging a contractor or rental equipment ahead of time to ensure the finish meets your expectations.
Homeowners weigh durability, appearance, maintenance, and budget when choosing materials: more durable options are chosen for driveways, while decorative materials may be preferred for walkways and garden beds. Local examples and seeing installed projects in the area help set realistic expectations about color and performance. Use our online quiz and material samples, and call our team for guidance tailored to your project's slope, drainage needs, and desired look.

This involves pulling the truck forward as material is being dumped to make it easier for you to distribute material after delivery.
