Why Pescadero Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Pescadero is a small coastal community with a city population of 1,310, located within a metro area population of 2.5+ million. The broader region grows steadily, with a growth rate of 0.70% annually across the metro area. Local climate and soils support active landscaping and light construction: the area averages 228 sunny days per year, receives an annual rainfall of 34.25 inches, and sits in hardiness zone 8b. That mix of sun, periodic heavy rain, and coastal terrain creates demand for earthwork such as grading, erosion control, and driveway or shed pad preparation. Homeowners in Pescadero look for reliable aggregates because inconsistent or organic-rich fill can settle, trap moisture, and damage plantings or structures over time. Fill Dirt for Pescadero should be dense, low-organic soil used to build up grades, backfill trenches, and create stable subgrades where drainage and compaction matter. Given the region's 34.25 inches of annual rain and coastal soil tendencies, well-graded, compactable fill reduces long-term settling and erosion on slopes and near foundations. Hello Gravel connects you with local suppliers and professional haulers that source regionally appropriate fill dirt, provide transparent pricing, and schedule convenient dump-truck deliveries—so you get the right material for your site and practical guidance on placement and compaction.Popular Projects in Pescadero This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Pescadero Fill Dirt Delivery
Everything you need to know about fill dirt delivery in Pescadero.
Expect delivered fill dirt in the Pescadero area to run roughly $12 to $30 per ton depending on local availability, moisture content, and delivery distance. Hello Gravel has a 3-ton minimum and uses contracted tri-axle trucks, so small orders and long drives can push prices toward the higher end; request a zip-code quote for an exact price.
For Pescadero's coastal conditions, choose ‘‘clean’’ fill dirt with low organic content—think sandy loam or mixed sand and silt—that drains and compacts predictably. Avoid using topsoil or high-organic mixes for structural backfill; contractors often blend a sandy base with some fines for compaction while keeping organics out of load-bearing areas.
Multiply your area (sq ft) by depth in feet, then divide by 27 to get cubic yards (for example, 100 sq ft at 6" is 100 * 0.5 / 27 = 1.85 yd3). Convert cubic yards to tons using a local density—use 1.2 to 1.6 tons per cubic yard as a practical range for Pescadero soils; at 1.4 t/yd3 that 100 sq ft at 6" would be about 2.6 tons and about 5.2 tons at 12".
Possibly. Pescadero is in unincorporated San Mateo County and parts fall within the coastal zone, so projects that change grades, affect drainage, or are near creeks or wetlands may need a county grading permit or Coastal Commission review. Always check with San Mateo County Planning and Public Works and, if your site is near streams, consult regional water quality and resource agencies before importing large volumes.
Hello Gravel connects you with local suppliers and haulers that serve the Pescadero area; our platform will show suppliers and prices after you enter your zip code. Minimums typically start at Hello Gravel's 3-ton policy for small loads, while a tri-axle truck load is commonly 7 to 14 cubic yards (roughly 9 to 20 tons depending on material), so ask for partial loads or shared deliveries if you need less.
Fill dirt can perform well long-term if properly compacted and protected from erosion; however, Pescadero's winter rains and coastal runoff can cause settling and surface erosion if left untreated. Expect to regrade low spots after heavy rains, add erosion controls (mulch, hydroseed, rock armoring), and maintain drainage swales to preserve your fill over time.
Use fill dirt for raising grade, backfill, and non-structural fill; it is not ideal as a finished driveway surface. For driveways and load-bearing surfaces in Pescadero's wet coastal environment, compacted crushed rock or road base is recommended as the structural layer, with fill dirt used only underneath as subgrade after proper compaction and drainage installation.
Place fill dirt in thin lifts (typically 6 to 8 inches loose) and compact each lift with a plate compactor or roller to reduce settling; moisture conditioning helps compaction, so avoid delivering extremely wet material. Provide positive drainage (swales, French drains, geotextile underlayment where needed) and slope surfaces away from structures to handle Pescadero's heavy seasonal rains and reduce erosion.
Tell us about narrow driveways, low-hanging wires, and soft ground when you order so the hauler can plan the truck approach; Pescadero's rural roads and tight lots can limit where a tri-axle truck can safely dump. Request tailgate spreading at checkout if you want the driver to spread material but remember it is at their discretion, and schedule deliveries on dry days when possible to avoid rutting and tracking.
As of today, we require 2 business days for delivery.

The material will be delivered via dump truck. If your order is under 20 tons, then it will likely be just one dump truck load. If your order is more than 20 tons, it will be more than one dump truck load.

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.

No, because we are a national supplier, we utilize our existing network of suppliers across the country. Therefore, the materials will likely be delivered from a contracted trucking company.
We specialize in making the aggregate buying process as easy and seamless as possible by managing the process from end to end. We have a network of suppliers that we source the materials from where we have negotiated rates.
