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







Gravel and rock do the same basic job, but the right choice depends on whether you need drainage or a firm walking surface. Deland gets about 54 inches of precipitation a year, so drainage and washout planning should drive your decision.
Round rock moves underfoot and looks natural in beds. Angular crushed stone locks together and holds a path. Pick the shape that matches your project.
Each product has a purpose. Use the table to match the material to the job. Avoid decorative rock where you need a compacted base, and avoid crusher run where you want a clean look.
| Product | Best for | Note |
|---|---|---|
| 3/8" Natural Pea Gravel | Play areas, patios | Rounded and smooth, not for slopes or driveways. |
| River Rock | Beds, borders, dry creek beds | Polished and varied sizes, poor for walking on. |
| 2-4" River Rock | Larger decorative cover, erosion control | Heavy and stable, but hard to move once placed. |
| Drain Rock | French drains and dry wells | Clean, angular stone that lets water pass freely. |
| Decomposed Granite | Paths and patios that compact firm | Needs a binder or edge restraint to stay put. |
| Crusher Run | Compacting base under everything | Contains fines that lock the stone together. |
| Road Base | Lanes and pads that carry trucks | Heavy-duty blend for vehicle loads. |
The table below pairs typical jobs with the right material and a simple depth guideline. These are starting points, not engineering specs.
| Project | What to order | Depth or note |
|---|---|---|
| Landscape beds | River Rock or 2-4" River Rock | 2 to 3 inches deep for weed suppression. |
| Path that stays firm | Decomposed Granite | 3 to 4 inches, compacted in lifts. |
| French drain | Drain Rock | Fill trench with clean stone, wrap in fabric. |
| Dry creek bed | River Rock or 2-4" River Rock | 4 to 6 inches, use varied sizes for flow. |
| Erosion control on a slope | 2-4" River Rock | 6 to 8 inches, keyed into the slope. |
Deland has about 79 wet days a year, so scheduling delivery onto firm ground matters. Pick a dry stretch to avoid rutting from the truck.
Only about 3 days a year drop below 32F. That short freeze season means less frost heave, so you need less base stone under paths and patios. Soils mapped in the Deland area are commonly excessively drained, which can require more base material to stabilize the surface layer. However, the ground around Deland is in hydrologic group A, meaning it soaks water up quickly and produces little runoff. That reduces the amount of drainage stone needed under decorative rock.
Order once the site is ready, because material sitting in the wrong spot gets moved twice.
Gravel and rock are sold by the ton. To estimate tonnage, measure the length and width of the area and decide on the depth. Multiply length times width times depth in feet, then divide by the material's cubic yards per ton. Our material calculators do the math for you, so you can order the right amount in minutes.
