Materials Available for Delivery
Mason Sand
A fine, clean sand for construction and masonry. Use it under pavers or turf, mix it into mortar or soil, or spread it across your lawn to smooth out bumps and low spots in your lawn.
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.
Topsoil
High-grade soil enriched with organic matter. Perfect for landscaping, lawn establishment and repair, and for improving existing soil.
Fulfillment:
Should never be fulfilled with material that does not include an organic component, though organic components should be small.
2-10% organic is ideal
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.
#57 Crushed Stone
Multi-use crushed stone for home & landscape projects. Ranging from ¾” to 1” in size, #57 stone is a versatile product used for concrete production, drainage applications, driveways, parking lots, and as base material under slabs and footings. Large enough to provide drainage but small enough to lock together when applied and create a stable base and a relatively smooth surface.

Why Stanford Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Stanford is a community of 5,110 residents. Its modest growth rate of 0.40% annually points to steady, incremental building and renovation rather than a sudden construction boom — homeowners and small contractors are more likely updating yards, adding patios, and regrading sites than developing large new subdivisions. The local climate — about 204 sunny days per year, 49.77 inches of annual rainfall, and USDA hardiness zone 9a — supports a wide range of planting and outdoor uses but also creates specific material needs. Regular rain interspersed with sunny periods puts a premium on good drainage, erosion control, and durable surfacing, while gardeners need quality topsoil and organic amendments. Reliable bulk supplies of gravel, sand, dirt, mulch, and stone matter here because they help build stable bases, long-lasting paths, and planting beds that perform in Stanford’s conditions.Popular Projects in Stanford This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Stanford Gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in Stanford.
Homeowners and contractors in the Stanford area typically choose from a mix of aggregates based on the job: gravel, sand, dirt, stone and similar materials. Selection depends on the project goal—drainage, stability, planting beds, or surface finish—so think about function first, then appearance and budget.
Stanford is in a mild coastal Mediterranean climate with seasonal rain and hilly terrain in places, so drainage and erosion control matter more than freeze-thaw concerns. Choose materials that shed water, resist washing on slopes, and work with local soils; regional sourcing means color and texture can vary from supplier to supplier.
Standard delivery windows for aggregate services are usually at least 2 business days from order, with next-day options available if ordered early and a fee applies. Plan more lead time for large orders, special materials, or jobs requiring permits or narrow-access delivery.
Per-ton or per-yard pricing varies by material type, order size, and distance from the supplier, so expect a range rather than a fixed number. Use an online quote tool or contact suppliers for an exact price; Hello Gravel displays transparent pricing and delivery fees so you can compare quickly.
Use an online marketplace or call local yards to confirm residential delivery options and minimum order sizes; many services, including Hello Gravel, work with local suppliers and show availability for your zip code. Typical minimums often start around small-ton thresholds, and delivery method (tri-axle dump truck) affects access and unloading.
Measure the area (length x width) and multiply by the desired depth to get cubic yards, then convert to tons using the material's density. Add a waste factor—usually 5-10% for flat work and 10-20% for slopes or irregular areas—and use an online calculator or supplier guidance to adjust for specific materials.
Yes; the wetter months increase the risk of washouts and make worksite access muddy, so many homeowners schedule deliveries and installations in the drier spring through fall window. Also consider contractor and truck fleet availability, which can be tighter in peak landscaping seasons.
Check local rules such as street-parking restrictions, HOA or neighborhood guidelines, and whether a curb cut or street permit is required for large deliveries. Also evaluate driveway strength, overhead wires, and space for a dump truck to operate safely; suppliers may charge extra for tight or labor-intensive offloading.
Most suppliers quote a base delivery fee for curb-to-curb drop-off and add extra charges when a driver must offload away from the curb, navigate tight access, or provide spreading services. Tailgate spreading may be available at the driver's discretion but is not guaranteed, and any special handling should be requested and confirmed at checkout.
Yes; many local suppliers in West California offer recycled options like crushed concrete, reclaimed base, and recycled mulch or compost blends. Availability varies by supplier and region, so ask about recycled content and performance to find a material that meets both environmental and project needs.
Select materials based on stability and drainage needs—heavier angular aggregates and larger stone work well to resist movement, while mulch and compost help establish vegetation and reduce surface erosion. Combine approaches: use structural aggregates for base stabilization and organic covers where plants will grow, and factor in local rainfall and slope steepness.
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. We have a network of suppliers that we source the materials from where we have negotiated rates.
