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







Crestview gets about 68 inches of precipitation a year, so drainage and washout planning are key when choosing gravel and rock. The right material can handle the rain and stay in place. For projects from driveways to dry creek beds, the choice of stone affects how long the surface lasts.
Gravel Monkey sells bulk gravel and rock by the ton and delivers by dump truck straight to your property. Loads run from one ton to 40-plus tons, and you select the delivery window at checkout. Ordering takes a few minutes online, and delivery is scheduled for a date at least three business days after the order.
Not every gravel and rock product suits every job. Some are better for drainage, others for compaction or appearance. Here is what each type is not designed for, so you can pick the right one for your Crestview project.
| Product | Best for | Note |
|---|---|---|
| 3/8" Natural Pea Gravel | play areas, patios | Round stones do not lock together; avoid for driveways or slopes where stability matters. |
| River Rock | beds, borders, dry creek beds | Smooth and loose; not good for walkways that need a firm compacted surface. |
| 2-4" River Rock | larger decorative cover and erosion control | Larger size makes it hard to walk on; not for paths or play areas. |
| Drain Rock | French drains and dry wells | Too angular and uniform for decorative use; not for surfaces you walk on. |
| Decomposed Granite | paths and patios that compact firm | Compacts firmly but washes out on steep slopes without binder; not for drainage applications. |
| Crusher Run | compacting base under everything | Made for base layers, not for a finished surface because it contains fines that rut. |
| Road Base | lanes and pads that carry trucks | Heavy and contains clay, not for decorative beds or gardens. |
For five common jobs in the Crestview area, the table below shows the best gravel and rock to order. The depth guideline helps you estimate the amount.
| Project | What to order | Depth or note |

| French drain | Drain Rock | Fill trench at least 12 inches deep. |
| Path that stays firm | Decomposed Granite | 2 to 3 inches compacted in lifts. |
| Landscape beds | 3/8" Natural Pea Gravel | 2 to 3 inches over landscape fabric. |
Crestview gets about 68 inches of rain each year, so drainage and washout planning are critical. The area experiences about 73 wet days a year, making it important to schedule delivery onto firm ground.
About 21 days per year drop below 32F, which affects the work window and how much the ground moves. Ground freezing is not significant here, so the base layer does not need to be as deep. Without a hard freeze to lift the surface, drainage and washout are what decide how long the material lasts.
The soil group around Crestview soaks up water quickly and produces little runoff. This means less drainage stone is needed under the surface layer. Soils in the area are commonly well drained, further reducing base stone needs.
To figure out the tonnage for your project, measure the area and the depth you plan to use. Our material calculators can help you convert dimensions into tons. Simply enter the length, width, and depth to get an estimate.

Yes. Crestview sees about 21 freezing days per year, but because ground freezing is not significant, you do not need a deeper base layer. The main concern is drainage, not frost heave.
Yes. With about 68 inches of precipitation a year, drainage is a primary factor. Choosing materials like drain rock or river rock for wet areas helps the surface last longer.
