Why Pleasanton Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Pleasanton has a population of 74,890 and sits within a metro area population of 2.5+ million, making it a steadily growing Bay Area suburb with strong demand for home and small‑scale construction work. With a growth rate of 1.00% annually, Pleasanton’s homeowners and builders are regularly reshaping yards, driveways, and small commercial sites. The local climate—228 sunny days per year and 34.25 inches of annual rainfall in USDA hardiness zone 8b—supports year‑round outdoor projects but also requires attention to grading and drainage. For many projects, that starts with the right base materials: homeowners seek reliable aggregates that compact predictably, control runoff during wet months, and provide stable support for patios, raised beds, and retaining walls.Popular Projects in Pleasanton This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Pleasanton Fill Dirt Delivery
Everything you need to know about fill dirt delivery in Pleasanton.
Fill dirt is basic, low-organic soil used to raise grade, fill holes, and support engineered fills. In Pleasanton it usually comes from local cuts and quarries and is intended for structural volume rather than planting, so it will often be heavier and contain more fines than topsoil.
Per-ton material prices in the Tri-Valley area commonly range from about $8 to $25 per ton depending on source and moisture content, with small-load delivery adding $50 to $200 depending on distance and access. Hello Gravel has a 3-ton minimum and will show precise pricing and delivery fees for your zip code during checkout.
Suppliers that serve Pleasanton include regional quarries and landscape yards in the Tri-Valley and greater Alameda County area (Livermore, Dublin, Hayward and nearby sites). The fastest way to see available local suppliers and delivery options is to enter your zip code on Hello Gravel to view vetted haulers and current pricing.
Raising 1,000 sq ft by 3 inches requires about 9.3 cubic yards of material (1,000 sq ft x 0.25 ft = 250 cu ft ÷ 27). That is roughly 10 to 12 tons of fill dirt, depending on moisture content and compaction characteristics.
Fill dirt is suitable as bulk structural fill for Pleasanton’s dry summers and wet winters when properly compacted, but it is not a good surface drainage layer. Because local soils can contain clay, add a free-draining layer (gravel or sand) where surface drainage or fast runoff is needed, and use erosion controls like hydroseed, mulch, or terraces on slopes.
No, fill dirt alone is not recommended as the finished base for driveways or patios because it tends to retain moisture and lacks the interlocking stability of crushed stone or crusher run. For durable driveways and patios in Pleasanton, use fill dirt only to set grades, then cap with a compacted granular base such as crusher run or crushed rock and compact to the proper specification.
You may. Projects that alter grade, exceed typical yardage, or require staging on public right-of-way often need permits from the City of Pleasanton or Alameda County. Also notify the city if deliveries will block streets or require oversized trucks; check with the Pleasanton Building Division or Public Works before ordering large volumes.
For structural fills in Pleasanton aim for 90% to 95% relative compaction (Modified/Standard Proctor as specified by your engineer). Place fill in lifts (commonly 6 to 8 inches loose), moisture-condition each lift, and use a plate compactor for small areas or a vibratory roller/tamper for larger areas to meet compaction requirements.
Ask suppliers for 'clean fill' and inspect for contaminants like construction debris, asphalt, excessive organic material, and petroleum staining. Also check for very high clay content or trash; if your project is on a sensitive site, consider a simple lab test for heavy metals or hydrocarbons before accepting large deliveries.
A properly compacted structural fill can perform for many years without replacement, but expect most settlement to occur within the first 6 to 12 months after installation. For surface fills used without a granular cap, minor regrading or spot-filling may be needed after seasonal rains; plan to overorder 5% to 10% for settlement.
Yes, many local contractors offer bundled services that include delivery, grading, compaction, and minor hauling. Typical labor and equipment costs vary widely by scope; expect small residential jobs to run from a few hundred to a few thousand dollars—machine rates often range from about $80 to $200 per hour and labor $50 to $150 per hour—so request itemized quotes through Hello Gravel or from local contractors for an accurate estimate.

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.
Hassle Free! Our goal is to make the buying process for gravel and other aggregates as easy and seamless as possible.

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.
