Gravel, Sand & Bulk Material Delivery in Franklin, CA

Pricing depends on the material you choose, the quantity, and the delivery location (ZIP).

We show all fees and any delivery charges up front before you complete the order.

For most landscaping jobs, bulk delivery is cheaper per cubic yard or ton than bagged materials, especially for larger areas. Bagged products are more convenient for very small jobs or when storage and access are limited. Use the material calculator to compare total cost and consider labor and handling when deciding.

The 3-3-3 rule is a simple guideline for mulching: about 3 inches deep, keep mulch a few inches away from tree trunks, and extend the mulch roughly 3 feet or to the tree dripline. That rule makes it easy to calculate volume because you only need the area to be covered and the 3-inch depth. Use our calculator to convert that area and depth into cubic yards or tons and round up slightly to allow for settling.

Multiply the square footage by the depth in inches, then divide by 324 to get cubic yards (sq ft * inches / 324 = cubic yards). For example, 500 sq ft at 3 inches is about 4.6 cubic yards. We recommend rounding up to account for settling and compaction and using our online calculator for a quick result.

Our deliveries are by professional dump truck fleets and drivers may be able to perform tailgate spreading at their discretion; this service is not guaranteed. Removal of old mulch, soil, or other materials and full installation services are typically not included. For spreading, installation, or large removals, we can often recommend local contractors or you can arrange a separate service.

Minimum orders start at 3 tons. Standard delivery lead time is 2+ business days, and next-day delivery is available for orders placed before noon CST for an additional fee. Delivery fees vary by ZIP and material, and you can see exact fees when you enter your ZIP code in the checkout or request a quote.

Next-day delivery is available for orders placed before noon CST and usually incurs an extra fee. Same-day delivery is not commonly available because orders require coordination with local suppliers and haulers, though some markets may offer expedited options subject to availability. You can see available delivery dates and any additional charges during checkout.

For drought-tolerant landscapes in the Franklin area, many customers use a mix of gravels, decomposed stone, and mulch to reduce water use and minimize maintenance. The best choice depends on slope, drainage, plant selection, and local soil; regional suppliers offer materials that reflect local geology and climate. Our sales team can help you choose materials that match your design goals and local conditions.

We deliver the quantity you order, but natural materials are measured as weight or volume and can settle or compact after delivery. Because of these differences, it is common to order a little extra—typically 5% to 10%—for final grading and compaction. Use our calculator and contact customer service if you need help matching weight (tons) to volume (cubic yards) for your material.

Start by entering your ZIP code on our site, select your material, use the calculator to choose quantity, and pick a delivery date on the checkout calendar. We accept major credit cards, PayPal, and Apple Pay; contact customer service as soon as possible to change or cancel an order. Provide clear site access instructions (safe drop location, drive clearance, and any gate codes) so the driver can deliver safely and efficiently.

Most local deliveries use tri-axle dump trucks that commonly carry roughly 10 to 14 cubic yards, which translates to about 12 to 18 tons depending on the material. Exact capacity varies by truck type and local rules, so the load size shown in your order confirmation reflects the supplier and truck assigned. Drivers will place material where it can be safely dumped, and tailgate spreading may be available at their discretion.
