Gravel & Rock ordered online by the ton. A dump truck delivers to your Dothan address and unloads right where you point.







Work on gravel and rock in Dothan is driven by rain and ground moisture. With about 58 inches of precipitation a year, drainage and washout planning are part of every project.
The schedule follows dry spells. Plan deliveries when the ground is firm enough to bear the truck without rutting.
For most Dothan jobs, the starting point is crusher run. It compacts into a dense base that resists the wet ground. The table below shows the full product line and what each size does.
| Product | Use | Note |
|---|---|---|
| 3/8" Natural Pea Gravel | Play areas, patios | Rounded and smooth underfoot |
| River Rock | Beds, borders, dry creek beds | Natural color variation for ornamental cover |
| 2-4" River Rock | Larger decorative cover and erosion control | Good for slopes and heavy flow areas |
| Drain Rock | French drains and dry wells | Clean angular stone for water movement |
| Decomposed Granite | Paths and patios that compact firm | Fines bind the surface into a hard path |
| Crusher Run | Compacting base under everything | Stone dust locks the aggregate together |
| Road Base | Lanes and pads that carry trucks | Engineered for heavy load support |
The job determines the product and how it is placed. The table below maps each project to the recommended material and installation note.
| Project | What to order | Depth or note |
|---|---|---|
| Landscape beds | River Rock | Single layer for decorative cover |
| French drain | Drain Rock | Clean stone, no fines |
| Dry creek bed | 2-4" River Rock | Larger sizes handle water flow |
| Path that stays firm | Decomposed Granite | Compact to a hard surface |
| Erosion control on a slope | 2-4" River Rock | Interlock on grade |
Frost is not the constraint here. Dothan gets about 25 days a year below 32F, which limits the work window and shifts the ground as it freezes and thaws. The consequence is that an unstable base can move with temperature swings, so compaction matters.
Snowfall is about 0 inches a year, so plowing damage to a loose surface is not a concern. The calendar is driven by rain and by how wet the ground is.
With about 73 wet days a year, scheduling the delivery onto firm ground is important. About 58 inches of precipitation means water moves through the soil faster in some spots; drain rock placed under surfaces keeps the base dry.
Tonnage depends on the area and the depth you plan to spread. Use our material calculators to convert square footage into tons. Enter your measurements, choose the product, and the calculator gives the volume needed before you place the order.
You order online by the ton. Delivery is priced by your ZIP code at checkout. A dump truck brings 1 to 40+ tons to your address. Use code FIRSTTIMER50 for $50 off your first order.
The delivery date must be at least 3 business days after the order date. You choose a morning or afternoon window. A valid phone number is required. You get an email confirmation, then a second email closer to the date with the scheduled window and a photo of the load being loaded. Delivery only proceeds after you approve that second email.
You or someone you nominate must be present during the window. The site needs a road width of at least 12 feet. If access is blocked or no one is there, a redelivery fee may apply. Inspect the load within 48 hours and photograph anything wrong. Claims must be raised in that window. Gravel Monkey corrects wrong material or quality outside industry norms but does not cover site access problems or natural variation.

These materials are often ordered in the same trip. Each one complements gravel and rock for a complete job.
The amount depends on the area and depth you need. With about 58 inches of precipitation a year, projects often incorporate drain rock or larger stone to move water, which can change the total tonnage. Use the material calculators to get a number for your specific dimensions.
Delivery is priced by your ZIP code at checkout. With about 73 wet days a year, scheduling delivery when the ground is firm helps avoid rescheduling fees. You see the delivered price before you commit, with no hidden charges.
Fabric is not always required. It helps with weed suppression in decorative beds where the stone is thin. For heavy-use areas like driveways, the base compaction matters more than fabric.
Yes. Angular, graded stone like crusher run locks together better than rounded stone. Larger sizes also interlock but leave more voids. For a dense, stable surface, use a product with fines that fill the gaps.
