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.
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.
Road Base
(Class 5 | ABC | Crusher Run) A mixture of crushed limestone or granite, gravel, and sand, ranging from 1 ½” in size down to fines (small particles). Commonly used for constructing roads, driveway bases, parking lots, and other paved and unpaved surfaces. Intended to be compacted, hence the inclusion of fines within the material to provide support and be resistant to erosion and shifting.

Frequently Asked Questions - Dixon gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in Dixon.
In Dixon you can usually get crushed stone (3/4" and 1"), river rock, pea gravel, decomposed granite, and road base. Because Hello Gravel sources regionally, color and texture reflect local geology—expect tan to gray river rock and some red or brown crushed mixes. Contact us to see photos from your local supplier before ordering.
For driveways and farm roads around Dixon, 3/4" crushed rock or a crusher-run blend with fines is most common because it compacts well and resists wheel ruts. If you need a stronger base, add a layer of road base and compact in lifts. Local clay soils in Solano County make proper grading and drainage important to avoid washouts.
Measure the length, width, and desired depth in feet, multiply (length x width x depth), then divide by 27 to get cubic yards. Multiply cubic yards by about 1.3-1.5 to convert to tons (regional density varies). Remember Hello Gravel minimum order is 3 tons, so round up and use our online calculator or contact us for help.
Coverage depends on depth and material density, but as a local example: 1 ton of gravel covers roughly 100 sq ft at 1/2" depth and about 44-50 sq ft at 1" depth. For precise needs use the cubic yard formula (length x width x depth /27) and convert to tons using 1.3-1.5 tons per cubic yard. Contact Hello Gravel if you want us to calculate your exact order for Dixon projects.
Yes. Collecting gravel from creeks, rivers, or public property usually requires permits and is often prohibited to protect habitat and water quality. Always get permission from the landowner for private property and check state or county regulations before removing material from waterways near Dixon.
Not always. Because Hello Gravel uses local suppliers, color, size, and texture reflect local geology and can vary from photos. You can add color preferences to Order Notes and ask for supplier photos before delivery to set expectations.
Standard delivery to Dixon is 2+ business days using dump trucks (typically tri-axle). Next-day delivery is available if you order before noon CST for an extra fee, and free delivery is available in many areas. Drivers may be able to tailgate spread at their discretion—request it in checkout but note it is not guaranteed.
Yes. Gravel is popular in Dixon for low-water landscaping, pathways, and around native plantings because it reduces watering and maintenance. Keep in mind light-colored gravels reflect heat and dark gravels retain heat, which affects plant selection and surface temperature in summer.
Gravel can help slow erosion when combined with proper grading, swales, retaining features, and geotextile fabric. For steep slopes or high-flow areas near Dixon, use engineered erosion controls and consult a contractor—improper installation can make erosion worse.
Yes. Development along the I-80 corridor and growth in Solano County can increase local demand for aggregates, which may affect lead times and prices. We recommend ordering early for larger projects and checking delivery dates during busy construction seasons.
Decorative river rock sold for landscaping in Dixon is cleaned and sorted and is extremely unlikely to contain gold. Prospecting or disturbing streambeds for gold is regulated, so buyers should not expect any precious metals in garden-grade river rock and should follow local rules if thinking of collecting from waterways.
Use clean, washed gravel or decomposed granite for paths and beds to avoid adding fines that can alter drainage or soil pH. Avoid decorative gravels with lime or coatings that can affect soil chemistry; for farm use choose durable, angular crushed stone for access roads and clean pea gravel for walkways.
As of today, we require 2 business days for delivery.
