Order size, pricing and the 2-unit floor
Every price here is a delivered price: it covers the trip to your property and is calculated from the ZIP you enter. Bigger orders lower the rate on each unit, so one well-planned load tends to cost less per unit than several small ones. Our minimum is 2 units, which is 2 tons for fill, gravel and topsoil, and 2 cubic yards for compost and mulch.
What to expect on the day
The truck backs in and tips the load in a single pile. Look at your driveway, the width of the street and any parked cars, and keep the drop zone clear. In neighborhoods with narrow cul-de-sacs, tell us about tight turns ahead of time. Cover a finished pile with a tarp if rain is in the forecast, since wet soil and compost get heavy and messy.
Local conditions in the San Ramon area
into planting beds loosens it, and a layer of mulch evens out moisture. On hillside lots, pea gravel in drainage swales keeps runoff from cutting channels. On a new pad, let freshly spread fill dry out a little before tamping it, since wet clay packs unevenly.
Planning a San Ramon project
Start with a sketch of the area you want to cover, then decide how deep the material needs to be. Walkways and drain beds need a different amount than a lawn top-dressing or a raised bed, and the right quantity is what keeps you from paying for a second trip. Many homes in the Tri-Valley have a side yard or slope that is awkward to reach. Ordering a little extra is easier than coming up short halfway through a weekend project.

How do I price a delivery to my San Ramon home?
Pick the material you need, open its page and type in the ZIP for your address. The delivered price comes back with the haul to your property already counted. Then place the order when the number fits your budget.
What unit does each San Ramon material use?
Fill Dirt, Pea Gravel and Premium Screened Topsoil are sold by the ton. Compost and Mulch use the cubic yard instead. The product page for each item repeats its unit, which matters when you convert a measured area and depth into a quantity to order.
Is there a minimum order size?
Yes: 2 units. That means 2 tons of fill, pea gravel or topsoil, or 2 cubic yards of compost or mulch. Anything below that cannot be ordered through the site.
Can compost help the clay soil common around San Ramon?
Yes. Compost adds organic matter and helps heavy clay drain and hold moisture more evenly. Work it into the top several inches of the bed instead of piling it on the surface, and do it in fall or early spring when the ground is workable.
Who moves the pile once it is down?
You do. The spreading is up to you, so plan for a wheelbarrow and a few helpers. It pays off most on a sloped or terraced San Ramon lot, where the pile and the bed can be far apart and every trip adds up over a long afternoon of shoveling.
How do I size pea gravel for a drainage swale in San Ramon?
Measure the swale length and its average width, then choose a depth that lets the stone sit level with the surrounding grade. A swale that bends is easier to size in short straight sections added together. Pea Gravel is sold by the ton, so use the product page to convert, and round up a little.
Do you deliver to Dublin or Pleasanton as well?
Yes, both are close to San Ramon, at about 4 and 7 miles. Enter the delivery ZIP on a product page and the engine confirms the price for that address. The same check works for Hayward, Concord and Livermore, which are also among the nearest cities.
When is a good time to spread mulch on a San Ramon lot?
Spread it once the soil has warmed in spring and the beds are weeded, so the layer sits on clean ground. Pull it back from trunks and stems. A fresh layer before the dry months helps hold moisture, and an older layer can be topped up rather than replaced.
