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







The most common mistake when ordering gravel and rock is picking the wrong size for the job. A surface that looks good in the yard may not hold up under foot or wheel traffic.
Clarksville gets about 51 inches of precipitation a year, so drainage and washout planning should guide your material choice from the start.
The main split is between base materials that compact solid and finish materials that stay loose and look clean. Choose what the load needs first, then the appearance.
| Product | Use | Note |
|---|---|---|
| 3/8" Natural Pea Gravel | play areas, patios | Rounded and smooth underfoot without sharp edges. |
| River Rock | beds, borders, dry creek beds | Natural look that stays put in low-traffic spots. |
| 2-4" River Rock | larger decorative cover and erosion control | Holds slopes and channels where smaller rock would wash. |
| Drain Rock | French drains and dry wells | Clean angular stone that moves water fast. |
| Decomposed Granite | paths and patios that compact firm | Locks into a stable surface that still looks natural. |
| Crusher Run | compacting base under everything | Angular stone with fines that packs hard and levels. |
| Road Base | lanes and pads that carry trucks | Heavy-duty blend designed for vehicle loads. |
The table below matches five frequent projects with a budget-friendly and a long-term material option. Depth notes are starting points; always check the specific job needs.
| Project | What to order | Depth or note |
|---|---|---|
| French drain | Drain Rock | 12 to 18 inches of clean stone wrapped in fabric. |
| Erosion control on a slope | 2-4" River Rock | 4 to 6 inches, keyed into the slope face. |
| Dry creek bed | River Rock over Crusher Run base | 2 to 3 inches of top rock on 4 inches of base. |
| Landscape beds | 3/8" Natural Pea Gravel or River Rock | 2 to 3 inches for weed suppression and appearance. |
| Path that stays firm | Decomposed Granite over Crusher Run | 4 inches of base plus 2 inches of DG, compacted. |
About 67 days a year drop below freezing in Clarksville. That freeze-thaw cycle can shift an unstable base and make a surface uneven by spring. Compaction before winter matters.
About 70 days a year bring at least a tenth of an inch of rain. Scheduling the delivery onto firm ground avoids ruts and keeps the truck from sinking. The 2 inches of annual snowfall is low, but plowing can scatter a loose surface if it has not settled.
Soils mapped in the Clarksville area are commonly well drained, which can reduce the amount of base stone needed under the surface layer. The ground around Clarksville takes water in at a moderate rate, so standard base depth is usually enough. Winters here are cold enough to move an unsettled base, so compaction is worth the extra pass.
Measure the length and width of the area in feet, then multiply by the depth in feet to get cubic feet. Divide by 27 to get cubic yards, then use our material calculators to convert to tons. The calculator accounts for material density and compaction.

About 70 days a year bring at least a tenth of an inch of rain. Plan your delivery for a dry stretch so the truck can get in without making ruts and the material lands on firm ground.
About 67 days a year drop below freezing, and ground frost is real but moderate. That freeze cycle can unsettle a loose base, so it is best to order and compact while the ground is still workable in fall or after a spring thaw.
Gravel Monkey delivers to the customer's address, including rural routes in the Clarksville area. The site must have a road width of at least 12 feet for the dump truck. If access is restricted, the crew unloads as close as they safely can.
That depends on the project. For a firm path, use compacting materials like Decomposed Granite or Crusher Run. For a decorative bed that stays loose, use 3/8" Pea Gravel or River Rock. Larger 2-4" River Rock is better for slopes and erosion control. Use the product table above to match the right size to your job.
