Why Moss Beach Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Moss Beach is a small coastal city with a population of 2,690 tucked into a metro area of 2.5+ million. With steady growth at 0.70% annually and a climate that sees about 225 sunny days and 34.50 inches of rain each year in hardiness zone 8b, homeowners here balance bright, dry periods with seasonal wet weather. That mix creates steady demand for quality aggregates that manage water, stabilize slopes, and provide low-maintenance surfaces. Gravel is a go-to material for local projects because it improves drainage, reduces erosion on coastal grades, and creates durable driveways and pathways that fit Moss Beach’s compact lots and coastal soils. Both DIY homeowners and contractors rely on locally sourced gravel that reflects regional geology and performs under the city’s specific weather patterns.Popular Projects in Moss Beach This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Moss Beach gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in Moss Beach.
Delivered prices in West California near Moss Beach vary by material, supplier, and access. Typical delivered ranges you can expect: crushed rock $40–$80 per ton (about $56–$112 per cubic yard at ~1.4 tons/yd3), pea gravel $45–$90 per ton (about $63–$126/yd3), and decomposed granite $40–$75 per ton (about $56–$105/yd3). Hello Gravel has a 3-ton minimum and final pricing depends on exact zip code, delivery access, and any hauling fees.
For Moss Beach's coastal exposure, dense igneous materials like basalt and granite perform best because they resist salt and break down slowly. Avoid soft limestones or untreated decomposed granite in high-spray locations unless stabilized; pea gravel can wash or migrate more easily on slopes. Consider sealed or stabilized mixes and a well-drained base to extend material life near the ocean.
Estimates assume 1.4 tons per cubic yard and typical compacted depths: driveway 12x30 at 4" depth needs about 4.4 cubic yards or ~6.2 tons. Patio 20x20 at 2" depth needs about 2.5 cubic yards or ~3.5 tons. A 100-foot path 3' wide at 3" depth needs about 2.8 cubic yards or ~3.9 tons; always round up 5-10% for compaction and waste and remember Hello Gravel's 3-ton minimum.
On slopes or clay soils start with proper drainage: install a compacted crushed-rock subbase (4–8"), set a geotextile fabric to separate fines, and slope the surface to shed water away from structures. Use French drains, swales, or a perforated pipe at the base of slopes to control concentrated runoff and prevent washout. For steep or unstable areas consider a thicker base, edging, or geogrid to lock the gravel in place.
Possibly. Moss Beach is in unincorporated San Mateo County and parts fall within the coastal zone, so replacing pavement or altering driveway imperviousness can trigger county permits or coastal-development review. Homeowners should check San Mateo County Planning and Building and contact their HOA for any covenants or setback rules before starting work. If in doubt, request guidance from the county or your HOA early to avoid rework.
Installation costs vary with access, slope, and scope, but a full install (grading, base, geotextile, and compaction) commonly ranges from about $2 to $6 per square foot in the Moss Beach area. Simple spreading-only jobs cost less, while steep or tight-access sites add labor and equipment fees. Get local quotes that itemize base work, fabric, and spreading so you can compare properly.
In coastal Moss Beach, expect regrading or light reshaping annually, with a top-up of 1–2 inches every 1–3 years for driveways and high-use paths because of wind, runoff, and salt exposure. Basic annual maintenance (raking, clearing weeds, repairing edges) is low cost, often under a few hundred dollars for most yards, while topping up with delivered material will be priced per ton and depends on the quantity needed. Regular maintenance prolongs life and reduces larger future repairs.
Gravel has lower upfront material and removal costs and provides good permeability for stormwater, which is helpful in coastal San Mateo County. Asphalt and concrete last longer with less frequent topping but are more expensive upfront and create more impervious surface that may need stormwater controls. Pavers offer durability and permeability options but cost more; choose based on budget, runoff goals, and desired maintenance level.
Hello Gravel connects you with local suppliers and standard deliveries use tri-axle dump trucks; the minimum order is 3 tons. Narrow coastal roads, tight turns, steep driveways, or HOA restrictions may require smaller trucks, a spotter, or extra access fees, and drivers may place material in the safest available location rather than an exact spot. Enter delivery notes and photos at checkout and contact our team if access looks challenging so we can arrange appropriate equipment.
Yes. San Mateo County encourages managing stormwater on-site and some projects in the coastal zone may require measures to prevent sediment runoff, especially for slopes or near streams. Gravel is generally favorable for infiltration, but you may still need erosion controls, sediment traps, or a permit for sizable driveway changes. Check county stormwater guidance and the Planning Department for site-specific requirements before installation.
For driveways choose an angular crushed stone (3/4" minus or 3/4"-1") that compacts well and resists movement; a 2" base of larger crushed rock under a 1–2" wearing layer works well. For patios and paths consider decomposed granite or screened fines for a firm walking surface, or pea gravel for casual patios where containment edging is used. Expect local color and texture variation due to regional sourcing and ask for samples or photos when ordering.
Standard delivery is typically 2+ business days, and next-day delivery is available for orders placed before noon CST for an extra fee. Tailgate spreading may be requested at checkout but is performed at the driver's discretion based on safety and site conditions, so it is not guaranteed. Contact our team or add detailed delivery notes and photos to help plan the safest delivery and possible spreading.
As of today, we require 2 business days for delivery.
