Why Dunnigan Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Dunnigan is a small but growing community with a city population of 1,238 and a metro area population of 5,200. With an annual growth rate of 5.90%, development pressure is increasing for new driveways, yard upgrades, and small construction projects. The local climate sits in hardiness zone 6b, with about 240 sunny days per year and an annual rainfall of 18.00 inches—conditions that favor low-maintenance, durable surfacing. Homeowners and contractors in the area often seek aggregates that provide reliable drainage, resist erosion during occasional storms, and stand up to strong sun and temperature swings. Gravel is a practical choice for these needs because it is permeable, adaptable to sloped sites, and works well as a base for paving, pathways, and landscape features.Popular Projects in Dunnigan This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Dunnigan gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in Dunnigan.
Prices vary by stone type and local supply, but expect a delivered price range of roughly $40 to $120 per ton in West California as a general estimate. A full dump truck price depends on truck capacity and the material; ask Hello Gravel for an exact delivered price by entering your zip code so we can source local suppliers and show transparent rates. Delivery minimum is 3 tons and standard delivery is 2+ business days, with next-day available for orders placed before noon CST for an extra fee.
Installed costs depend on driveway width, existing base, and local labor rates, but a ballpark range for a 20-foot long single-car driveway (about 10 to 12 feet wide) is $800 to $3,000. That range covers material (gravel plus delivery), basic spreading, and light prep; adding excavation, compaction, a base layer, or geotextile will increase the price. For a precise quote, schedule a delivery or an installation estimate with Hello Gravel or a local contractor.
For driveways in Dunnigan, crushed stone (angular rock like 3/4" crushed or crushed rock fines) is usually the most cost-effective and stable option because it compacts well and sheds water. Pea gravel is attractive but tends to move under traffic and requires edging and more maintenance, while river rock is decorative and more expensive. Consider crushed stone for driveways and reserve pea gravel or river rock for decorative beds or low-traffic areas.
Crushed stone is generally cheaper per yard and gives better performance for driveways because its angular shape compacts and locks together. Natural rounded gravel (bank-run or river rock) can cost more and is less stable under vehicle traffic, so we usually recommend crushed stone for residential driveways in Dunnigan. If appearance is the priority, discuss options and pricing with our team before ordering.
Dunnigan's Central Valley soils can include clay and poor-draining layers, so putting gravel directly on exposed soil is possible for short-term use but not recommended for durable driveways. Adding a compacted base (4 to 6 inches of crushed rock) and a geotextile fabric improves drainage, reduces rutting, and extends life, which will add to installation cost but save maintenance. For yard paths or decorative areas, a thinner layer over fabric may be acceptable.
Hello Gravel delivers to Dunnigan using contracted dump trucks; our minimum order is 3 tons. Drivers may offer tailgate spreading at their discretion—request it at checkout—but spreading is not guaranteed and may incur an additional fee if offered locally. For full installation services, we can connect you with local contractors for spreading, compaction, and base work or provide a quote if a supplier in your area offers installation.
For a 20-foot long driveway the quantity depends on width and depth; as an example, a 20 ft by 10 ft driveway with a 3-inch top layer needs about 0.8 cubic yards (roughly 1 to 1.2 tons), while a 20 ft by 10 ft driveway with a 6-inch compacted base plus 2 inches top requires about 2.5 cubic yards (about 3 to 4 tons). Hello Gravel’s material calculator and sales team can estimate exact cubic yards and tons for your planned depth and width and provide a delivery estimate based on your zip code and availability.
Standard delivery is typically scheduled for 2+ business days after order, and next-day delivery is sometimes available for orders placed before noon CST for an additional fee. Scheduling for full driveway installs depends on contractor availability and site prep; expect lead times of several days to a few weeks during busy seasons. Enter your zip code on our site or call our team to view current availability and preferred delivery dates.
Most private residential gravel driveways do not require a building permit, but local rules about driveway access, grading, drainage, and work in the public right-of-way can apply in Yolo County and the Dunnigan area. Check with Yolo County Public Works or the Dunnigan town office for requirements relating to driveway culverts, stormwater runoff, and setbacks before starting work. If your project affects public roads or changes drainage patterns, you may need permits or inspections.
Hello Gravel provides free online quotes for delivered materials based on your zip code and order details, and we can arrange written delivery estimates by phone or email. For installation or on-site assessments, we can connect you with local contractors who may offer site visits and written installation quotes; contact our sales team at 855-241-8884 or text 844-407-3734 to schedule. Include project dimensions, desired depth, and any photos or notes to speed up the estimate process.
As of today, we require 2 business days for delivery.

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.
