Materials Available for Delivery
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.
1 1/2″ Crushed Gravel
Larger 1 ½” gravel perfect for french drains, drainage ditches, catch basins, and erosion control. Also used in base layers for road projects in areas with poor soil conditions, as backfill material, and for ground cover applications where smaller stones may wash away.
Crushed Concrete
Recycled concrete aggregate for construction & landscaping. Often used for road base and sub-base applications, as fill material, and for erosion control. Typically 1 ½” down to fines.
Red Shredded Mulch
Red shredded bark and wood from hardwoods like oak, hickory, and maple. Good for gardening and landscaping. Helps hold moisture, block weeds, and adds a bold, red pop to your outdoors.
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.

Why San Ysidro Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
San Ysidro is a community of 59,025 residents in a region whose steady 0.40% annually growth supports ongoing home improvement and incremental new construction. That steady expansion means more homeowners are renovating yards, upgrading drainage, and adding durable outdoor features rather than seeing a sudden building boom. Local climate and geography—an average of 204/year sunny days and 49.77 inches of annual rainfall in USDA hardiness zone 9a—create a mix of demands: materials must tolerate strong sun exposure, handle significant seasonal moisture, and support both planted and hardscaped areas. For everyday projects this translates into needs for well-graded fill, erosion-control blends, reliable drainage aggregates, and durable surfacing materials. Homeowners should expect regional variations in color and texture, and they increasingly prioritize long-lasting solutions that balance water management, aesthetics, and low maintenance. San Ysidro’s combination of sun, rain, and local soils creates particular performance requirements for bulk materials. Heavy or concentrated rainfall increases the importance of drainage, compaction, and erosion-resistant mixes, while frequent sun can accelerate surface drying and UV-related fading. That means choices about particle size, grading, and organic content affect settling, runoff, and plant health. For homeowners, the takeaway is practical: select materials matched to site drainage and exposure, plan deliveries outside the wettest windows when possible, and account for compaction and settling in your quantities. Hello Gravel helps by linking you to local suppliers who source regionally appropriate materials, offering calculators and expert guidance to pick the right blends and schedule delivery when it fits your project timeline.Popular Projects in San Ysidro This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - San Ysidro Gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in San Ysidro.
Start by matching material performance to the project: consider drainage, load-bearing needs, and appearance. For driveways and high-traffic areas prioritize stable, well-compacting aggregates; for drainage beds and planting areas choose more permeable materials. Think about maintenance and local climate, then use our material quiz or contact the sales team for recommendations tailored to San Ysidro conditions.
San Ysidro has mild, mostly dry conditions with wetter winters, so plan heavy deliveries outside rain events to avoid tracking and mixing. Materials that compact or wash easily may require scheduling during dry spells and perhaps extra base preparation. Always allow a buffer when ordering in late fall or winter, and expect shorter windows for ideal installation.
Measure the area, note slopes, drainage flow, and proximity to structures or utilities. Check access points for truck turn radius, overhead wires, and driveway weight limits; take photos to share at checkout. These details influence the type and amount of material, delivery placement, and whether additional equipment or permits are needed.
Permits are sometimes required when deliveries block public streets, involve curb cuts, or change stormwater patterns. Requirements vary by neighborhood and by San Diego city or county rules, so check with local building or public works departments and your HOA before scheduling. If a permit is needed, plan extra lead time before delivery.
Provide clear delivery instructions and photos when you order, and pick a drop-off location that avoids blocking streets or driveways. Expect tri-axle dump trucks and allow space for maneuvering; narrow alleys or steep driveways may need an alternative drop point. If you need driver assistance like tailgate spreading, request it at checkout and note that the driver will assess safety on arrival.
Price depends on material type, quantity, delivery distance, truck access, and timing (rush or next-day delivery costs more). Site challenges like tight access or extra handling can increase fees. Use our calculator and get a quote to see the biggest cost drivers for your project.
Measure length, width, and depth in feet, then convert to tons using our online calculator or ask our team for help. Typical depths: 2-4 inches for ground cover, 4-8 inches for a driveway base, and deeper for structural fills—adjust for compaction and slope. Orders must meet the 3-ton minimum, so plan aggregations or extras accordingly.
Hire a contractor when a project requires grading, compaction, permits, drainage modifications, or large equipment. DIY can work for small landscaping jobs if you can handle delivery placement and basic spreading. Consider labor, safety, and local code needs—contractors save time and reduce risk for complex or high-use projects.
Maintenance depends on material and use: most surfaces need periodic topping up, weed control, and occasional regrading to manage washout on slopes. Local rainfall and irrigation can cause settling or migration, so plan for seasonal checks and light maintenance every 1–3 years. Proper installation and good drainage will extend the life of any material.
Yes, you can request tailgate spreading at checkout, but drivers perform it at their discretion based on safety and site conditions. We cannot guarantee spreading, so if it is critical consider hiring a local crew or contractor to finish material placement. Communicate any special needs in your order notes and provide clear site access information.
Materials are sourced locally, so color, grain size, and texture reflect West California geology and can vary from photos. These natural variations are normal and rarely affect performance, but they can change the final look of a project. If color or texture is important, note preferences in your order and request photos where available.
Contact our team as soon as possible; changes are easier before the order is dispatched. We will make a best-effort to adjust orders but cannot guarantee modifications after processing or once a truck is dispatched. Review order notes and delivery windows and reach out by phone or text for the fastest help.
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.
