Can range in color from light brown and tan to reddish and gray, depending on the natural stone color in the region.
3/8″ Crushed Stone
(#89 Stone) A smaller crushed stone perfect for walkways and more decorative applications. Pathways will come to life with garden-like aesthetics and be comfortable under foot. Also suitable for various groundcover applications, as an underlayment for patio paver and turf projects, for playground surfacing and for filling gaps between larger stones.
Compost
Premium compost packed with organic nutrients—perfect for revitalizing tired soil and supporting strong, healthy plant growth. Ideal for mixing into garden beds, raised beds, and landscapes needing a natural boost.
Fill Dirt
Versatile, lower-grade soil commonly used for volume and elevation changes in various construction and landscaping projects. Great for leveling or grading ground, backfilling pools and filling ditches, and evening out low points or depressions on your property.

Why San Lorenzo Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
San Lorenzo is a community of 26,840 residents experiencing modest, steady growth at about 0.40% annually. That level of expansion typically creates consistent demand for home improvement, yard upgrades, and small-scale construction rather than sudden booms—so homeowners can expect steady availability of local contractors and suppliers. With 204 sunny days a year, 49.77 inches of annual rainfall, and a USDA hardiness zone of 9a, the local climate produces alternating dry and wet seasons that influence how materials perform. In practice this means homeowners need a range of reliable bulk supplies—soil and compost for beds, aggregates for drainage and patios, sand and base materials for walkways, and mulches for moisture retention—that stand up to both sun exposure and heavy seasonal rains. Choosing quality, regionally sourced materials helps ensure projects resist erosion, shed water properly, and reduce long-term maintenance in San Lorenzo's particular environment.Popular Projects in San Lorenzo This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - San Lorenzo Gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in San Lorenzo.
Homeowners and contractors in San Lorenzo typically choose from a mix of gravel, sand, dirt, stone depending on the project. These materials are used for driveway bases, top layers, pathways, drainage beds, and grading because they reflect local geology and work well in the area’s Mediterranean climate.
Choose materials that support drainage and erosion control—look for options that compact well on slopes and shed water. Gravel, sand, dirt, stone all have different properties, so pick permeable materials for drainage areas, angular stone for compaction, and stabilized dirt or engineered mixes for reshaping slopes.
Many local suppliers deliver to residential addresses in San Lorenzo, but availability depends on zip code, access, and supplier routes. Deliveries are typically made by tri-axle dump trucks, so confirm driveway access, overhead obstructions, and expected delivery window when you order; note our minimum order is 3 tons and standard delivery is 2+ business days with a next-day option for orders placed before noon CST.
Minor projects usually don’t require permits, but larger work that affects stormwater, alters city right-of-way, or changes driveway entrances can require local permits or HOA approval. Check city codes and your HOA rules before ordering and contact the city’s building or public works department for guidance on street delivery or major grading.
San Lorenzo has mild weather, so late spring through early fall is generally best to avoid winter rain and muddy conditions. Plan deliveries at least several days in advance during peak season and consider the next-day delivery option when schedules are tight.
Measure the project area in square feet, decide the desired depth in inches, then convert to cubic yards using area x depth / 324; many materials calculators will also convert cubic yards to tons based on material type. Use our online material calculator or contact our team with your dimensions to get a quick estimate and remember our 3-ton minimum order when planning small projects.
Prices vary by material type, quantity, supplier distance, and time of year, so exact per-ton or per-yard rates change frequently. Hello Gravel shows transparent pricing at checkout for your zip code and many areas include free delivery; get a quote online or contact our sales team for a detailed estimate.
Yes—San Lorenzo’s hilly areas and winter rains make drainage and erosion control important when choosing materials. Gravel, sand, dirt, stone selections should prioritize permeability, compaction, and slope stabilization; you may also need geotextile, retaining features, and proper grading to prevent washouts.
Compare material specifications, regional sourcing, clear pricing, delivery equipment (tri-axle dump trucks), minimum order, and available delivery windows. Also check supplier reviews, proof of insurance, scheduling flexibility, and whether drivers can perform optional tailgate spreading at their discretion.
Some drivers may offer tailgate spreading at their discretion, but it is not guaranteed and depends on safety and site conditions. Request spreading at checkout, and if you need guaranteed spreading or precise grading, plan to hire a local contractor or crew to complete that work after delivery.
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.

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.
