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







Jackson County issued permits for about 2,070 single-family homes in 2024, and many of those lots will need a load of rock before the driveway is poured or the yard is graded. If you are building new or refreshing a property that already has a house on it, gravel and rock delivered by the truckload saves the trip to a supplier.
Jefferson gets about 53 inches of precipitation a year, so drainage planning matters. A gravel driveway, a French drain, or a dry creek bed all start with the right rock underfoot.
The choice depends on whether you need something that packs firm, something that drains fast, or something that looks good on top. Below is the full lineup, each sold by the ton and delivered to your address.
| Product | Best for | Note |
|---|---|---|
| 3/8" Natural Pea Gravel | Play areas, patios | Rounded and smooth, easy to walk on barefoot. |
| River Rock | Beds, borders, dry creek beds | Natural stones in mixed sizes with smooth edges. |
| 2-4" River Rock | Larger decorative cover, erosion control | Bulkier stones that stay put in heavy rain. |
| Drain Rock | French drains and dry wells | Clean, angular stone that lets water pass quickly. |
| Decomposed Granite | Paths and patios that compact firm | Fine material that binds when tamped, like a natural concrete. |
| Crusher Run | Compacting base under everything | A blend of stone dust and rock that locks together hard. |
| Road Base | Lanes and pads that carry trucks | Heavy-duty base for driveways and equipment loading areas. |
The right material solves the problem you are fixing. Here is how to match the rock to the job.
| Project | What to order | Depth or note |
|---|---|---|
| Erosion control on a slope | 2-4" River Rock | 4 to 6 inches deep, holds against runoff. |
| Dry creek bed | River Rock | 3 to 4 inches deep with larger stones on top. |
| French drain | Drain Rock | Fill trench to within 2 inches of grade. |
| Path that stays firm | Decomposed Granite | 2 inches compacted over 4 inches of Crusher Run. |
| Landscape beds | 3/8" Natural Pea Gravel | 2 to 3 inches deep, keeps weeds down. |
Jefferson soils mapped in the area are commonly well drained, so a standard base depth under a surface layer usually works. The ground around Jefferson is in hydrologic group B, which means it takes water in at a moderate rate, and a standard base thickness is generally enough for most residential projects. Do treat these as area guidance; your own lot may differ.
About 59 days a year drop below 32F. That matters for scheduling: have the delivery arrive on a dry, unfrozen day so the truck can set the load down on firm ground. Freeze-thaw cycles are mild here, so the ground does not shift much under the rock. With about 77 wet days a year, aim for a gap of a few dry days after delivery to let the base settle before heavy use.
Work can run most of the year in this climate, which makes scheduling the delivery the easy part. Snowfall averages about 1 inch a year, so you are unlikely to need to plow a gravel surface and risk pushing the top layer into the lawn.
Coverage depends on the depth you plan and the size of the area. Use the material calculators on the Gravel Monkey site to turn square feet and inches into tons. You can adjust the depth in the tool to match the recommendations above or your contractor's spec.
Order online by the ton, and the delivery price is calculated from your ZIP code at checkout. A dump truck brings the load to your address, and you choose a delivery window: morning, 7 am to 12 pm, or afternoon, 12 pm to 5 pm. The date you select at checkout must be at least 3 business days after the order date. You get an email confirmation, then a second email closer to the date with the scheduled window and a photo of the material being loaded. Delivery only goes ahead once you approve that second email.
You need to be available or have someone you nominate at the site during the window. The truck needs a road width of at least 12 feet. If access is restricted, the crew unloads as close to the requested spot as they safely can. First-time customers can use code FIRSTTIMER50 at checkout for $50 off.

The right depth depends on the project. For a path that stays firm, plan on 2 inches of decomposed granite over a 4-inch base of crusher run. For a French drain, fill the trench with drain rock to within 2 inches of grade. Use the material calculators on the site to convert depth and area into tons.
The truck needs a road width of at least 12 feet. A firm driveway or graded lane works. If the access is narrow or soft, the crew unloads as close to the requested spot as they safely can. Confirm that your property can handle a heavy truck before the delivery date.
