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.
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.

Why Redwood Shores Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Redwood Shores homeowners know their neighborhood is growing: the city population is 9,500 and the area is expanding at a 2.50% annual growth rate. Located in the Central-Alameda part of the California Region and sitting in USDA hardiness zone 8b, the local climate averages 228 sunny days per year with about 33.20 inches of annual rainfall. Those conditions — steady sun, moderate rain, and ongoing residential development — drive steady demand for durable landscaping and drainage solutions. Homeowners and local contractors often choose quality gravel for driveways, walkways, and French drains because it resists rutting, improves water infiltration, and provides a low-maintenance finish that fits Redwood Shores' coastal-influenced setting.Popular Projects in Redwood Shores This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Redwood Shores gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in Redwood Shores.
Prices vary by type and season, but expect roughly $70 to $150 per ton delivered in the Redwood Shores area. Final price depends on material type, quantity, and delivery; Hello Gravel has a 3-ton minimum and you can get an exact quote by entering your zip code on our site.
One cubic yard is 27 cubic feet and will cover about 324 sq ft at 1" depth, 162 sq ft at 2", or 108 sq ft at 3". A cubic yard typically weighs about 1.3 tons, though weight varies by material, so use our calculator or contact us for precise estimates.
57 gravel is larger than 67. In practice, 57 is a roughly 3/4" crushed stone commonly used for driveways and drainage while 67 is a smaller, finer aggregate used as a bedding or base material under pavers.
The common categories are crushed stone (angular, good for driveways and base), pea gravel (small rounded stones used for decoration and patios), and river rock (larger rounded stones for accents and drainage). Local suppliers may offer decomposed granite and recycled aggregate too, reflecting regional geology.
Cost depends on truck size and material; a tri-axle truck (most common for deliveries) typically carries 10–14 cubic yards and delivered loads in the Bay Area typically fall between $800 and $2,000. Exact pricing is available with a Hello Gravel quote that factors material type, access, and any spreading requests.
A tri-axle dump truck usually holds about 10–14 cubic yards, which translates to roughly 13–20 tons depending on the gravel's density. Smaller single-axle trucks carry less, so ask your supplier what truck they use for Redwood Shores deliveries.
If your 20-foot driveway is 10 feet wide and you want a 3" layer, you need about 2 cubic yards (roughly 2.6–3.0 tons). Hello Gravel has a 3-ton minimum, so ordering 3 tons will cover that area and allow for compaction and a small overage.
Many full-size pickups can carry roughly 0.5–1.5 cubic yards depending on bed size and weight limits, but weight can add up quickly (1 cubic yard is about 1.3 tons). For safety and convenience in Redwood Shores we usually recommend delivery for anything larger than one cubic yard or when you are near your truck's payload limit.
Decorative gravel can last 10+ years with occasional topping up, while driveways and high-traffic areas may need replenishing every 3–7 years depending on use and drainage. Redwood Shores' mild climate helps slow freeze-thaw damage, but seasonal storms and tidal runoff in low areas can cause washout or migration that shortens service life.
Gravel by itself does not harden like concrete, but compacted crusher-run or decomposed granite with a binder or polymer stabilizer will form a firm, nearly solid surface. For vehicle traffic use a proper compacted base (Class 2 or Class 5 base) or consider permeable paver systems if you need a hard surface with drainage.
'A' and 'B' labels are local shorthand for gradation or placement: generally 'A' mix is finer and used as a finish or bedding layer while 'B' is coarser and used as a base. These terms vary by supplier and region, so confirm exact gradation and intended use with your Hello Gravel quote for Redwood Shores.
Gravel alone will not completely prevent weeds; weeds can grow through or around stone over time. For best results in Redwood Shores, install a good weed barrier or geotextile fabric, use 3–4" of gravel, and maintain edges and occasional spot weeding or pre-emergent treatments.
You can lay gravel directly on soil for low-traffic decorative areas, but for lasting results you should remove topsoil, compact the subgrade, and install geotextile fabric and a crushed-rock base for driveways or paths. Because parts of Redwood Shores are low-lying with poor drainage, proper base prep and grading are especially important to avoid settling and washout.
Locally, bank-run, crusher-run, or recycled crushed concrete are typically the least expensive options because they require less processing. Prices vary by availability and haul distance, so check a Hello Gravel quote to compare local options and delivered cost.
'Class 5' is a California road-base designation for a well-graded mixture of crushed rock and fines designed to compact into a stable base. It is commonly used in driveways and under slabs because the mix of particle sizes locks together and provides a firm, compactable layer.
As of today, we require 2 business days for delivery.

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.
