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







The amount of gravel or rock you need is measured in tons, and a typical project can require several truckloads. Because Macon gets about 50 inches of precipitation a year, proper drainage should be part of your planning.
Whether you are filling a dry creek bed or surfacing a path, choosing the right material starts with knowing how it will hold up in wet conditions. Gravel Monkey delivers by the ton straight to your Macon address.
Gravel and rock come in sizes from fine pea gravel to large river rock. Each has a different use. The table below lists what we carry.

Macon sees about 50 inches of precipitation each year, which means drainage should guide your material selection. With about 70 wet days a year, scheduling the delivery onto firm ground is important to avoid a muddy mess.
There are about 44 freezing days per year, so the ground can shift slightly during freeze-thaw cycles. This affects how deep the base layer needs to be. Snowfall averages about 0 inches, so plowing damage to a loose surface is not a concern here. Ground freezing is not a significant factor, meaning the base layer does not need extra depth for frost protection. Frost is not the constraint here, so the calendar is driven by rain and by how wet the ground is.
To figure out how many tons of gravel or rock you need, measure the area and the planned depth. Use our material calculators online to get a quick estimate based on your dimensions.

Yes, Macon's 50 inches of annual rainfall means drainage should influence your material. Use drain rock for French drains and crushed stone for compacted bases that shed water.
Macon has about 44 freezing days per year, which can cause minor ground movement. A 4-to-6-inch base of crusher run usually handles that movement without shifting.
The size depends on the use. Pea gravel works for paths and play areas, river rock for decoration, and larger stone like 2-4" river rock for erosion control.
