Decomposed Granite
Known for its natural look, this compact, durable material drains well and holds up in high-traffic areas.

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.
Driveway Gravel
A ¾”-1” clean, crushed stone ideal for rejuvenating worn down gravel driveways, or for installing a fresh new driveway on your property. Aesthetically pleasing and functional!

Why Pinole Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Pinole is a small but active coastal community with a city population of 17,160 and steady local demand for home and landscape projects. With a growth rate of 0.70% annually and its place in a wider metro area of 2.5+ million residents, homeowners here are updating driveways, patios, and drainage systems as lots refresh and new construction continues in surrounding neighborhoods. The local climate—Hardiness Zone 8b with 228 sunny days per year and 34.25 inches of rain annually—means projects must handle both dry, sun-exposed summers and periodic winter rains. That combination drives demand for reliable aggregates that manage water, reduce erosion, and provide long-lasting surfaces. Homeowners want clear guidance on material choice and quantities, and contractors need straightforward access to locally-sourced gravel that reflects Pinole's geology and performance needs.Popular Projects in Pinole This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Pinole gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in Pinole.
Material and delivery costs in Pinole vary by type, but expect roughly $30-$80 per ton for common gravels delivered; pea gravel and decorative stone sit toward the higher end. Hello Gravel has a 3-ton minimum and often includes delivery in local pricing; final cost depends on material, truck access, and any spreading or placement services. For an exact price, get a site quote through our website or call our team.
Hello Gravel connects you to local West California suppliers and haulers that source regionally. Our platform requires a minimum order of 3 tons, which matches typical dump-truck deliveries in the area; some landscape yards sell by the cubic yard but may have different minimums. If you need less than 3 tons, ask about small-quantity options or pickup from a local yard.
For driveways in Pinole's coastal Mediterranean climate, angular crushed rock (3/4" to 1") is usually best because it compacts and resists shifting, and it handles salt spray and moisture better than round stones. Decomposed granite is a good choice for walkways and patios where a softer, natural look is desired, while pea gravel is attractive for accents but can move under vehicle tires. Consider edging and geotextile fabric to keep material in place and improve longevity near the coast.
A useful rule: 1 cubic yard covers about 100 sq ft at a 3" depth, and 1 cubic yard is roughly 1.3 tons. For example, a 2-car driveway of 400 sq ft at 3" needs about 4 cubic yards, or approximately 5.2 tons. Paths and patios typically use 1.5"–3" of material, so calculate area x desired depth, convert to cubic yards, then multiply by ~1.3 to estimate tons.
Possibly. Pinole and local HOAs may have rules about front-yard materials, visibility, and stormwater treatment, and some Bay Area cities have incentive programs for drought-tolerant landscaping. Before you order gravel, check City of Pinole planning or building departments and your HOA guidelines to confirm any permit, setback, or permeable-surface requirements. If you need help, Hello Gravel can recommend best practices but cannot approve permits for you.
On slopes, gravel can wash or migrate during heavy winter rains, so use terraces, retaining edges, or check dams to slow flow and retain material. Install geotextile fabric, compacted base layers, and proper drainage outlets to prevent undercutting; for steep slopes consider vegetation or hard edging to stabilize the surface. If you work near a storm drain or public right-of-way, check with the city for any runoff controls required.
Pinole homeowners typically rake and redistribute gravel once or twice a year and add a refresh coat every 3–7 years depending on traffic. Expect delivered gravel to cost roughly $30-$80 per ton, so a refresh for a medium driveway is often a few hundred dollars for material plus any spreading or compaction labor. Routine maintenance also includes weed control and occasional regrading after heavy rains.
Compacted gravel is usually the most affordable option upfront at roughly $1.50–$4.00 per sq ft installed, while asphalt typically runs $3.00–$7.00 per sq ft and pavers $10.00–$25.00 per sq ft. Gravel requires more regular upkeep (rakes, top-ups) but drains well and is easier to repair, asphalt is smoother and lower-maintenance for vehicles, and pavers provide the longest life and curb appeal at higher cost. Choose based on budget, desired look, maintenance tolerance, and local drainage rules.
Gravel is commonly used as a drought-tolerant landscape material in California and can reduce irrigation needs, but local codes and HOAs can restrict front-yard groundcover types and require certain setbacks or permeable areas. Use native, low-water plants with gravel and avoid large areas of impermeable compacted surface to maintain stormwater absorption. Always verify City of Pinole rules and HOA covenants before making major front-yard changes.
Typical add-ons include geotextile fabric to discourage mixing with soil, landscape edging to keep gravel contained, compaction for driveways, and hauling/spreading labor. Ballpark costs: edging $3–$8 per linear foot, geotextile $0.50–$1.50 per sq ft installed, and compaction or machine rental plus labor from a few hundred dollars upward. When ordering through Hello Gravel, request tailgate spreading at checkout (driver discretion) and ask for a full site quote if you need installation services.

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.
