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.
Brown Shredded Mulch
Shredded bark and wood from trees like oak, hickory, and maple, used for landscaping and gardening applications. Provides moisture retention in your soil, weed suppression, temperature regulation for plants, and the gradual addition of organic matter as it decomposes slowly over time. Adds a beautiful, finished look to your home’s exterior.
Black Shredded Mulch
Rich black shredded hardwood mulch made from oak, hickory, and maple. Holds in moisture, blocks weeds, and gives your garden beds a bold look that makes green plants and colorful flowers stand out.
#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.
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.

Why Davis Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Davis has a population of 49,839 and sits within a broader metro that serves 7.9+ million residents; a steady growth rate of 0.40% annually points to gradual, reliable demand for home improvement and light construction rather than a rapid building boom. With 204 sunny days per year and 49.77 inches of annual rainfall in USDA hardiness zone 9a, local projects need materials that balance drainage with moisture retention. Homeowners are increasingly focused on practical upgrades—permeable hardscapes, erosion control, amended soils, and durable mulches—that perform through both wet winters and long sunny stretches. That mix of needs makes it important to source quality, regionally appropriate bulk materials (gravel, sand, dirt, mulch, and stone) so driveways, planting beds, and grading work last and require less rework over time.Popular Projects in Davis This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Davis Gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in Davis.
Costs depend on material type, the amount you order, and delivery distance from local suppliers. Smaller residential loads have higher per-ton costs while contractors ordering large quantities often see better pricing; Hello Gravel has a 3-ton minimum. Additional fees may apply for next-day delivery, difficult access, or special services like tailgate spreading, so use the checkout quote or contact our team for an accurate estimate.
Davis' hot, dry summers can increase dust and settling while heavy rains can wash fines and change drainage behavior. Choose materials that suit your project's needs—coarser, well-graded aggregates for drainage and angular materials for stability—and plan for erosion control during the rainy season. Store materials covered and compact or grade installations promptly to reduce weather-related issues.
Many large deliveries or long-term street obstructions may require city permits or HOA approval, especially in neighborhoods with narrow streets or strict covenants. Check with the City of Davis, your HOA, and local parking authorities before scheduling delivery and note permit requirements in Order Notes to help suppliers and drivers plan. If a permit is required, arrange it before delivery to avoid delays or additional fees.
Quantities vary by project size and desired depth, but rough examples help planning: small pathways or garden beds often use 1-4 tons, single-car driveways can range from 6-20 tons, and larger driveways or whole-yard landscaping projects may require 20-100+ tons. These are estimates—use Hello Gravel's material calculator or contact our sales team with project dimensions for a precise quantity. Remember we have a 3-ton minimum order.
For drainage, choose coarser, well-draining aggregates that allow water to pass through; for walkways, pick materials that compact well and match the look you want; and for structural base layers, use angular, well-graded materials that lock together. Because materials like gravel, sand, dirt, stone vary by region, discuss your project's purpose and traffic level with our team to pick the best option.
Yes—Hello Gravel works with local suppliers and haulers that serve Davis neighborhoods, including areas near UC Davis, but delivery availability depends on your zip code and supplier service area. Enter your zip code at checkout or contact us to confirm coverage and to discuss any access considerations around the campus or narrow streets. We will coordinate with local haulers to find the best drop location.
Clear the intended drop zone of obstacles, mark property lines and utilities, and make sure a truck can access the site and turn around if needed. Provide clear delivery instructions in Order Notes, reserve street parking or permits if necessary, and have someone on site to guide the driver if possible. Proper site prep speeds unloading and reduces the likelihood of extra fees or re-delivery.
Drivers may be able to perform tailgate spreading at their discretion, and you can request this service at checkout, but spreading cannot be guaranteed. The driver will assess safety and access on arrival and may decline if conditions make spreading unsafe or impractical. If spreading is essential, plan for a professional landscaper or contractor to complete the work.
Contact Hello Gravel as soon as possible—changes are easiest before your order is dispatched and may be limited once a truck is scheduled. We will do our best to accommodate modifications, but adjustments after processing may incur fees or be declined depending on supplier and hauler schedules. For cancellations or disputes, follow the instructions in your order confirmation and our customer service team will assist.
Materials reflect local geology and regional sourcing, so color, texture, and particle shape can vary across suppliers and deliveries. Photos are illustrative; if appearance matters, note color or texture preferences in Order Notes and ask our team about local samples or more detailed descriptions. We cannot guarantee an exact match to pictures, but we will help you choose materials that meet your needs.
Yes, Davis has rules about blocking public rights of way, sidewalk access, and long-term vehicle staging that may require permits or coordination with city services. Heavy trucks may be restricted on certain residential streets, and you may need to arrange parking control or temporary no-parking signs. Check local regulations and inform Hello Gravel of any restrictions so we can coordinate with our haulers.
Start by defining the function—drainage, load-bearing base, decorative surface, or planting soil—and then consider appearance, budget, and maintenance. Use Hello Gravel's material calculator and quiz to narrow choices, and reach out to our team for recommendations that balance performance and cost. Local climate and site conditions in Davis should factor into your final selection.

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.
