You are correct--it is a dirt road. This is far less noticeable in the black and white episodes (with few exceptions, as in when the squad car pulls up quickly to the house and you can see dust trailing behind), but in the color episodes you can really tell. "Malcolm at the Crossroads" is a good one to watch if you want to get a good view of the dirt street. I'm assuming this was a cost-saving measure for the studio, and since the weather is usually nice in southern California, they could get away with that. In fact, when you think about the few episodes where it has obviously been raining (e.g. the gold truck ep., Christmas ep.), we only see the paved streets around the courthouse. It seems like there might be one episode that shows Andy's street wet, but, if so, I can't recall it off hand.
