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







Contractors and homeowners buy gravel and rock differently. Contractors order by the truckload and know their tonnage. Homeowners often start with a project area and work backward to the volume they need. Hanford gets about 9 inches of precipitation a year, so drainage planning matters for any outdoor project.
Either way, Gravel Monkey delivers by the ton to your address anywhere in the Hanford area. First orders save $50 with code FIRSTTIMER50.
Gravel and rock come in sizes from a fine 3/8 inch up to 4 inches. The right size depends on the job: small stone for walkways and play areas, larger rock for erosion control and decorative beds.
| Product | Best for | Note |
|---|---|---|
| 3/8" Natural Pea Gravel | Play areas, patios | Rounded and smooth, comfortable underfoot. |
| River Rock | Beds, borders, dry creek beds | Natural colors blend into landscaping. |
| 2-4" River Rock | Larger decorative cover, erosion control | Stays in place on slopes better than smaller stone. |
| Drain Rock | French drains and dry wells | Clean, angular rock that lets water pass quickly. |
| Decomposed Granite | Paths and patios that compact firm | Compacts into a hard, stable surface. |
| Crusher Run | Compacting base under everything | Includes fines that lock the stone together. |
| Road Base | Lanes and pads that carry trucks | Engineered for heavy loads without rutting. |
Each project needs a different product. This table matches common Hanford jobs with the gravel or rock that works best.
| Project | What to order | Depth or note |
|---|---|---|
| Path that stays firm | Decomposed Granite | 2 to 3 inches, compacted wet |
| French drain | Drain Rock | Fill trench full depth, wrap in fabric |
| Dry creek bed | 2-4" River Rock | 3 to 4 inches, vary sizes for natural look |
| Erosion control on a slope | 2-4" River Rock | At least 4 inches deep, key into soil |
| Landscape beds | River Rock | 2 to 3 inches over landscape fabric |
Hanford sees only about 21 wet days a year, so scheduling delivery onto firm ground is straightforward if you plan ahead. About 29 days a year drop below freezing, which narrows the work window and means the ground can shift slightly as it freezes and thaws.
Frost penetration is real but moderate here, so the base layer under driveways and pads needs enough depth to resist heaving. The ground around Hanford takes water in very slowly, so most rain runs across the surface. That makes drainage planning and a deeper base more important here than in many other places.
Winters here are cold enough to move an unsettled base, so compaction is worth the extra pass.
Gravel and rock are sold by the ton, and the amount you need depends on the area and the depth. Use our material calculators to convert square footage into tons before you order.

Gravel and rock solve many jobs on their own, but sometimes a different material works better for the base or the finish.

Smaller stone like 3/8 inch pea gravel is comfortable underfoot and works for paths and play areas. Larger stone like 2 to 4 inch river rock stays in place on slopes and handles erosion control. Sizes in between suit general landscaping and drainage applications.
