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







The price you see on gravel and rock comes down to three things: the material itself, the tonnage, and how far the truck travels. Gravel Monkey delivers to Idaho Falls by the ton, with the delivered price shown at checkout once you enter your ZIP code.
Idaho Falls gets about 14 inches of precipitation a year, so drainage and washout planning matter when you choose a surface material. A well-draining base keeps the top layer stable through wet spells.
Each product below lists what it works for and what it does less well. Match the material to the load and traffic you expect.
| Material | Best for | Note |
|---|---|---|
| 3/8" Natural Pea Gravel | play areas, patios | Rounded and smooth; not for driveways that see heavy vehicles. |
| River Rock | beds, borders, dry creek beds | Decorative but does not compact; weeds grow through unless lined. |
| 2-4" River Rock | larger decorative cover and erosion control | Good on slopes; too large for walking paths. |
| Drain Rock | French drains and dry wells | Clean, angular; not suitable as a top dressing. |
| Decomposed Granite | paths and patios that compact firm | Weed-suppressive when compacted; does not handle heavy rain runoff without edge restraint. |
| Crusher Run | compacting base under everything | Contains fines; settles well but needs a top layer for appearance. |
| Road Base | lanes and pads that carry trucks | High load-bearing capacity; not a finished surface. |
Match the project type to a recommended product and depth. These are starting points; adjust for soil conditions and traffic.
| Project | What to order | Depth or note |
|---|---|---|
| Path that stays firm | Decomposed Granite over Crusher Run | 2 to 3 inches of DG over 4 inches of compacted crusher run |
| Landscape beds | River Rock or 3/8" Natural Pea Gravel | 2 to 3 inches; use landscape fabric underneath to reduce weed pressure |
| French drain | Drain Rock | Fill trench with washed drain rock; wrap in filter fabric |
| Erosion control on a slope | 2-4" River Rock | 4 to 6 inches; stones interlock to slow runoff |
| Dry creek bed | River Rock and 2-4" River Rock | Mix sizes for natural appearance; line with fabric |
Soils mapped in the Idaho Falls area are commonly well drained. That means less base stone is needed under the surface layer compared to heavy clay areas. Standard base depths usually work because the ground around here takes water in at a moderate rate.
About 41 days a year bring at least a tenth of an inch of rain. Scheduling delivery onto firm ground avoids rutting from the truck. About 182 days a year drop below 32F, and ground freezing here is deep and long. That affects how deep the base layer needs to be to stay stable through freeze-thaw cycles.
About 28 inches of snowfall a year means plowing can damage a loose gravel surface. Consider a compacted top layer or edge restraints. Hard freezes shape the calendar here, so base work is easier to get right from late spring through fall.
Estimate tonnage by calculating the area and desired depth, then convert using the material's density. Gravel Monkey's material calculators handle the math after you enter your project dimensions.
You order online by the ton, and the delivery price shows at checkout after you enter your ZIP. A dump truck brings the load to your address. Loads range from 1 to 40-plus tons. Free delivery applies on qualifying orders. First-time customers can use code FIRSTTIMER50 for $50 off a first order.
Delivery dates are chosen at checkout and must be at least 3 business days after the order date. You pick a morning window (7 am to 12 pm) or afternoon (12 pm to 5 pm). A valid phone number is required. You get an email confirmation, then a second email closer to delivery with the window and a photo of the load. Delivery only proceeds after you approve that second email. Someone must be at the site during the window.

Yes. About 182 days a year drop below 32F, and ground freezing here is deep and long. That affects base depth recommendations, and freeze-thaw can shift an unconfined surface. Ordering in late spring through fall gives you a longer window to compact before frost sets in.
About 41 days a year bring at least a tenth of an inch of rain. Scheduling a dry stretch keeps the truck from rutting soft ground and lets you compact without moisture delays.
Size depends on use: 3/8-inch pea gravel works for patios, 2 to 4-inch river rock controls erosion on slopes, and crusher run with fines compacts well under driveways. Match the particle size to the expected traffic and drainage needs.
