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







The delivered price for gravel and rock in Connecticut depends on the tonnage you need and where your address sits. Each order is priced by ZIP code at checkout, with a minimum of 1 ton and standard loads up to 40 tons.
Gravel Monkey delivers throughout the state by dump truck, so the same logistics apply whether you are in Torrington or Stratford. You choose the day and the window, and we bring the load to your site.
Not every gravel product works for every application. The table below shows what each material is designed for and where it falls short.
| Product | Best used for | Note |
|---|---|---|
| 3/8" Natural Pea Gravel | Play areas, patios, rounded and smooth | Smooth surface shifts under concentrated loads; not for driveways. |
| River Rock | Beds, borders, dry creek beds | Angular variety locks better than rounded; rounded rock can roll on slopes. |
| 2-4" River Rock | Larger decorative cover and erosion control | Provides weight and visual mass, not suitable for walking surfaces. |
| Drain Rock | French drains and dry wells | Clean, angular stone stays open for water flow; avoid mixing with fines. |
| Decomposed Granite | Paths and patios that compact firm | Needs a compacted base and containment to prevent washout. |
| Crusher Run | Compacting base under everything | Contains fines that bind tight; not for topdressing uses. |
| Road Base | Lanes and pads that carry trucks | Heavy-duty blend for structural support and load distribution. |
Each project type has a material that fits best. The table below matches common Connecticut jobs to the right product and depth.
| Project | What to order | Depth or note |
|---|---|---|
| Erosion control on a slope | River Rock or 2-4" River Rock | Use larger rock to hold soil on grade; typically 4 to 6 inches deep. |
| Landscape beds | 3/8" Natural Pea Gravel or River Rock | Decorative cover; 2 to 3 inches deep after compaction. |
| Path that stays firm | Decomposed Granite | Compact 3 to 4 inches over a prepared base; use edge restraint. |
| Dry creek bed | River Rock (mixed sizes) | Lay out 4 to 6 inches deep; use larger stones for edges. |
| French drain | Drain Rock | Trench depth varies; compacted layer of 6 to 12 inches in a geotextile sock. |
Annual precipitation across the cities we deliver to in Connecticut runs from 49 to 52 inches. That much rain can wash out loose gravel if it is not compacted or edged, so proper base work matters.
Freezing temperatures persist for 106 to 144 days a year, depending on location. Most of Connecticut falls in the moderate band for ground freezing, meaning the frost line reaches deep enough to undermine a shallow gravel base. Freeze and thaw cycles work on loose material all winter, which is the argument for the deeper first lift.
The dominant soil types are hydrologic groups B and C. These soils drain at a moderate rate, so a stone base under patios or driveways should be thicker than in sandy areas to prevent frost heave from pushing up through the gravel.
Gravel Monkey delivers gravel and rock to addresses in these Connecticut cities and beyond.
Gravel Monkey delivers to addresses across Connecticut, not only the cities listed here.
To figure out how many tons, measure the area in square feet and multiply by the desired depth in inches. Divide the cubic feet by about 27 to get cubic yards, then convert to tons using the material's density, typically 1.3 to 1.5 tons per cubic yard for most gravels.
You can also use our material calculators to get a quick estimate for your project.
Gravel and rock orders in Connecticut are placed online, by the ton. At checkout the system calculates the delivered price using your ZIP code, and you can schedule a delivery date that is at least 3 business days out.
Loads start at 1 ton and go up to 40 tons or more in a single dump truck. If you qualify, delivery is free on the order; first-time customers can use the code FIRSTTIMER50 to get $50 off.
You will receive an email confirmation when you place the order, then a second email closer to the date showing the scheduled window and a photo of the material being loaded. Delivery only moves forward once you approve that second email.
The customer is responsible for being present or having someone at the site during the delivery window. The truck needs a 12-foot-wide access road. For more on how the process works, see the delivery information page. You can also read customer reviews or learn about Gravel Monkey.
