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







Ordering gravel and rock for your Perryville property is straightforward. After you place your order online, a dump truck hauls your load from a regional supplier to your address. You mark the spot where you want the pile, and the driver dumps it in one place.
Perryville receives about 53 inches of precipitation each year. That rainfall makes good drainage a necessity, and a layer of gravel or rock can keep water away from your foundation and out of your paths.
Gravel and rock splits into two broad categories. Base materials compact into a stable foundation for heavy loads. Finish materials sit on top and provide a decorative or functional surface. The table below lists the products we carry.
| Product | Best for | Note |
|---|---|---|
| 3/8" Natural Pea Gravel | Play areas, patios | Rounded and smooth, comfortable underfoot. |
| River Rock | Beds, borders, dry creek beds | Smooth stones in various sizes for a natural look. |
| 2-4" River Rock | Larger decorative cover and erosion control | Bigger stones provide visual impact on slopes. |
| Drain Rock | French drains and dry wells | Clean, angular stone that channels water efficiently. |
| Decomposed Granite | Paths and patios that compact firm | Fines bind the particles; it packs solid underfoot. |
| Crusher Run | Compacting base under everything | Angular crushed stone that locks in place when compacted. |
| Road Base | Lanes and pads that carry trucks | Heavy-duty mix that holds under repeated traffic. |
For each common project you can pick a budget option that works in light use or a long-term choice that handles weather and traffic better. The table below gives a typical recommendation for each job.
| Project | What to order | Depth or note |
|---|---|---|
| Dry creek bed | River Rock | 3 to 4 inches deep |
| French drain | Drain Rock | 6 to 12 inches deep |
| Landscape beds | 3/8" Natural Pea Gravel | 2 inches deep |
| Erosion control on a slope | 2-4" River Rock | 4 inches deep |
| Path that stays firm | Decomposed Granite | 3 inches after compaction |
Perryville has about 72 days each year with at least a tenth of an inch of rain. Planning your delivery for a stretch of firm ground helps the truck reach your spot without leaving deep ruts.
The ground freezes roughly 69 days per year, which can shift a base that was not compacted well. Winters here are cold enough to move an unsettled base, so compaction is worth the extra pass. Soils mapped in the Perryville area belong to hydrologic group C; they take water in slowly and shed a fair amount across the surface. A deeper drainage layer of rock or gravel carries that runoff away from your driveway or path.
Start by measuring the length and width of the area and deciding on depth. Our material calculators turn those numbers into tons so you order the right amount at checkout.
You order online by the ton, and the delivery price is shown by ZIP at checkout.

Yes, winter conditions can affect delivery. Perryville gets about 2 inches of snow a year, and plowing can damage a loose gravel surface. Compacting your base before winter helps prevent shifting.
Perryville experiences moderate ground freezing, which can cause heave if the base is too shallow. A deeper base layer reduces washout from rain and snowmelt. Proper compaction and depth planning are important.
Drain rock is the best choice for a French drain. It consists of clean, angular stone that allows water to flow through without clogging. River rock can work if it is clean and uniform in size.
After you order, you select a delivery window at checkout: morning (7 am to 12 pm) or afternoon (12 pm to 5 pm). The delivery date must be at least 3 business days after the order date.
