Fill Dirt
Versatile, lower-grade soil commonly used for volume and elevation changes in various construction and landscaping projects. Great for leveling or grading ground, backfilling pools and filling ditches, and evening out low points or depressions on your property.
Decomposed Granite
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.
Drain Rock
A larger 1 ½” crushed gravel that allows for water flow and drainage, preventing accumulation and pooling when properly installed. Perfect for french drains and other drainage applications, around utility lines, septic systems, sump pump basins and drainage pits.
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.

Why Galt Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Galt, California, with a city population of 30,020, sits inside a broader regional market (metro population: 7.9+ million) that supports steady construction and landscaping activity. A modest growth rate of 0.40% annually points to gradual, practical demand—think home renovations, yard upgrades, and incremental development rather than rapid expansion. Local climate and geography—about 204 sunny days per year, annual rainfall of 49.77 inches, and USDA hardiness zone 9a—mean materials must perform in both dry, sun-exposed conditions and significant wet-season runoff. That combination drives homeowner needs for durable base materials, erosion-control aggregates, well-draining soils, and UV-resistant finishes. For projects from grading and driveways to planting beds and patios, quality bulk supplies like gravel, sand, dirt, mulch, and stone influence drainage, stability, and long-term performance in Galt’s mixed-weather environment. Galt’s mix of sunshine and substantial rainfall creates clear material performance requirements: permeability to manage stormwater, proper particle gradation to resist erosion, and compaction characteristics that hold grades through seasonal cycles. Homeowners should weigh how materials behave under both intense sun and wet conditions when planning driveways, walkways, and landscape beds. Hello Gravel helps by connecting customers with local suppliers that reflect regional geology, offering a material calculator and expert guidance so homeowners can choose appropriate aggregates, calculate realistic quantities, and schedule reliable delivery tailored to Galt’s conditions.Popular Projects in Galt This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Galt Gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in Galt.
Homeowners in Galt often choose from a mix of gravel, sand, dirt, and stone depending on appearance, drainage and budget. For driveways and heavy-use areas select denser, well-compacted mixes; for garden beds and drainage features choose materials that promote water movement and plant health. Regional sourcing means texture and color can vary, so request notes at checkout if you have a color preference.
Hot, dry summers can increase dust, cause some materials to loosen, and speed sun-bleaching of color; winter rains can cause washouts, rutting, or compaction. Choose materials and installation methods that improve drainage and lock particles together (proper base, compaction, or stabilizers). Plan for seasonal maintenance like regrading or top-ups after heavy rains.
Match the material to the function: load-bearing, well-compacted mixes for driveways; a stable base and flat, fine topping for patios; free-draining mixes for swales and French drains; softer top materials for garden areas. Consider local climate, desired look, maintenance willingness, and budget when choosing. If unsure, use Hello Gravel’s material quiz or contact our team for guidance.
Measure the project area in square feet, decide on the required depth in inches, then convert to cubic yards (area x depth ÷ 27). As a rough guide, 1 cubic yard equals about 1.2 to 1.6 tons depending on material density; use our online calculator for a more accurate conversion. Check pricing and minimums at checkout and contact our sales team for help with complex estimates.
Standard delivery typically takes 2+ business days, with a next-day option available for orders placed before noon CST for an additional fee. Our minimum order is 3 tons, deliveries arrive by contracted dump trucks, and regional sourcing means materials come from local suppliers. Check your zip code on the site to confirm availability and any local delivery fees.
Delivery to rural or hard-to-access sites depends on local supplier and hauler availability; some rural addresses may have restrictions or extra fees. Next-day delivery is available in many areas if you order before noon CST, but it is subject to local supplier capacity. Enter your zip code or contact our team so we can check options for your address.
Drivers may be able to perform tailgate spreading at their discretion; you can request this service at checkout. The driver will assess safety and site conditions on arrival and decide whether spreading can be done. This service is not guaranteed, so plan for additional labor if precise spreading is required.
Permits and local rules vary; projects that change curb cuts, alter drainage, or affect public right-of-way often require city or county approval. Check with the City of Galt planning or public works department and any HOA before ordering materials. Hello Gravel can help with deliveries but cannot determine permit requirements for you.
Generally, harder, coarser mixes and properly compacted bases last longer and need less frequent topping, but they cost more upfront. Finer or loose materials are cheaper initially but typically require more maintenance such as regrading or replenishing after weather events. Consider expected traffic, local climate effects, and how much ongoing upkeep you want when choosing a material.
Many contractors in the area schedule groundwork in spring and fall to avoid the hottest summer days and the heaviest winter rains. Summer is workable but can be tiring and may affect compaction and curing for certain installations; winter rains can delay grading and spreading. Book deliveries and contractors in advance to secure the best timing.
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.

No, because we are a national supplier, we utilize our existing network of suppliers across the country. Therefore, the materials will likely be delivered from a contracted trucking company.
We specialize in making the aggregate buying process as easy and seamless as possible by managing the process from end to end.
