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







The price you see at checkout depends mostly on how far the truck travels and how many tons you order. Chinle gets about 11 inches of precipitation a year, which means choosing the right drainage layer matters for any surface that needs to stay solid.
A ton of gravel or rock covers a set area, and ordering by the ton keeps the math simple. You pick the material, choose a delivery window, and the dump truck brings it to your address.
Every product below has a specific use. Pick the one that matches your job, and if you are unsure, the job table that follows can help.
| Product | Best for | Note |
|---|---|---|
| 3/8" Natural Pea Gravel | Play areas, patios | Rounded and smooth, stays in place on level ground. |
| River Rock | Beds, borders, dry creek beds | Varied sizes for a natural look that resists washing. |
| 2-4" River Rock | Larger decorative cover and erosion control | Stays put on slopes where smaller rock would roll. |
| Drain Rock | French drains and dry wells | Clean, angular stone that lets water pass quickly. |
| Decomposed Granite | Paths and patios that compact firm | Compacts into a hard surface, needs edging to hold. |
| Crusher Run | Compacting base under everything | Contains fines that lock together when tamped. |
| Road Base | Lanes and pads that carry trucks | Heavy-duty base for drives and parking areas. |
Each job needs a specific material and depth. This table gives a starting point for common Chinle projects.
| Project | What to order | Depth or note |
|---|---|---|
| Dry creek bed | River Rock or 2-4" River Rock | 4 to 6 inches; larger stone holds in a channel. |
| French drain | Drain Rock | Fill trench with drain rock, wrap in filter fabric. |
| Erosion control on a slope | 2-4" River Rock | 6 to 8 inches; weight keeps it from sliding. |
| Path that stays firm | Decomposed Granite | 2 to 3 inches compacted over a crusher run base. |
| Landscape beds | 3/8" Natural Pea Gravel or River Rock | 2 to 3 inches over weed barrier. |
Apache County permitted about 91 single-family homes in 2024, a county figure that points to new construction where a solid base matters from the start. Chinle sees about 32 days a year with at least a tenth of an inch of rain, so scheduling the delivery onto firm ground avoids rutting from the truck.
About 166 days a year drop below 32F, which means freeze and thaw cycles work on loose material all winter. That is the argument for the deeper first lift: a solid base of crusher run or road base that extends below the frost line if possible. Snowfall of about 21 inches a year can push loose gravel sideways when plowed, so a compacted surface layer or larger river rock holds better.
Soils mapped in the Chinle area are commonly moderately well drained, which means more or less base stone under the surface layer depending on your exact spot. The ground around Chinle takes water in slowly and sheds a fair amount across the surface, so a deeper drainage layer earns its place before you put down the finished stone.
Ordering by the ton is straightforward: you measure the length and width of your area, decide the depth, and use the material calculators on the site to convert that volume into tons. The calculator handles gravel, rock, and other aggregates.
Buying gravel and rock online is simple. You pick the product, enter the tons, and choose a delivery window at checkout: morning from 7 am to 12 pm or afternoon from 12 pm to 5 pm. The delivery date must be at least 3 business days after the order date. A valid phone number is required to confirm the delivery. You get an email confirmation when the order is placed, then a second email closer to the date with a photo of the material being loaded. Delivery only goes ahead once you approve that second email.
You agree to be available or to have someone you nominate at the site during the delivery window. The site needs a road width of at least 12 feet for the truck. If access is restricted, the crew unloads as close to the requested spot as possible. First-time customers can use code FIRSTTIMER50 at checkout for $50 off their order.

Yes. With about 166 freezing days a year, the ground moves and loose material gets pushed around. A deeper base layer of crusher run or road base helps keep the surface from shifting when the thaw comes.
Chinle gets about 11 inches of precipitation a year, but the ground takes water in slowly and sheds a fair amount across the surface. That means a drainage layer of drain rock or crushed stone under the finished surface is worth the investment to keep water from pooling.
