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







Gravel and rock come in many sizes, from pea gravel under half an inch to river rock several inches across. The size you pick determines how well the material drains and how tightly it packs down.
With about 39 inches of precipitation a year in Moline, water movement through the surface matters. A stone that drains well reduces washout and keeps your project stable.
The most common choice for customers in Moline is crusher run, which compacts into a stable base. Other products fit specific uses.

| River Rock | Beds, borders, dry creek beds | Natural look that comes in several sizes. |

Moline sees about 129 days a year where the temperature drops below freezing. That kind of freeze-thaw cycle can shift an unstable base, which is why the base layer matters more than the top layer. Ground that freezes deep moves as it thaws, which is why the base layer matters more here than the top layer. Snowfall averages about 28 inches, so plowing over a loose surface can push material around.
The frost line here is deep and long. That means the base layer needs to be thick enough to stay stable when the ground shifts. Soils mapped in the Moline area are commonly well drained, which reduces the need for extra base stone under the surface layer. The ground around Moline is in hydrologic group B, meaning it takes water in at a moderate rate, so standard base depth is usually enough.
The amount you need depends on the area you want to cover and the depth you plan to use. Use our material calculators to find the loose tonnage for your project dimensions.
