San Francisco is unlike most cities on our coverage map: lots are small, streets are steep, and access for a full-size dump truck is a genuine planning problem rather than an afterthought. Row house backyards and small side spaces still need the same base material as anywhere else, and crushed run base material is used under the compact patios, garden paths, and rear-yard parking pads common in the city, just in smaller volumes than a suburban delivery. Where a small side yard needs a finished, walkable surface rather than a work base, pea gravel is a common choice given the tight footprint most city lots have to work with.

Retaining structures are a bigger part of the work here than in flatter cities, since a hillside lot often needs a wall before any finish landscaping can go in behind it. Backfilling behind a retaining wall calls for free-draining material rather than compacted fill, and open-graded 1 1/2" clean rock is the standard choice, since it lets water escape through weep holes instead of building up pressure against the wall. We deliver to residential properties and commercial sites across the city, with delivery logistics assessed individually given how variable street access can be.

Answers to Your Frequently Asked Questions

Can a dump truck actually get to my house?
It depends entirely on the street. Some San Francisco blocks are straightforward for a full-size truck, while steep grades, narrow lanes, and permit-only parking make others genuinely difficult. Give dispatch your exact address before ordering so the access can be assessed and a plan worked out, which may include a smaller vehicle or a specific delivery window.
Sometimes, particularly on streets with restricted parking or loading zones. This is worth checking with the city in advance of your delivery date, since it is generally the property owner’s responsibility to arrange. Mention any known restrictions when you order so it can be planned for.
Free-draining stone, not compacted fill. Backfilling with an open-graded material like clean rock lets water escape through the wall’s drainage system instead of building up pressure behind it, which is what eventually pushes a poorly backfilled wall out of position.
Usually by hand, from wherever the truck can park. On lots without a driveway or side yard, material is placed at the curb or nearest accessible point and moved from there by wheelbarrow. Factor this into your planning, since it affects how much can realistically be moved in a day.
The standard minimum applies citywide, but even a small volume can be worthwhile for a compact space, since San Francisco lots typically need far less material than a suburban yard of the same design. Use the material calculator on our site with your actual measurements rather than assuming you need more.
