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







A landscaping project in Attica typically takes more than a few tons of material. With about 40 inches of precipitation each year, drainage planning matters as much as the stone itself. The right gravel or rock handles that water without washing out.
Gravel Monkey delivers bulk stone by the ton straight to your driveway or job site. You choose the product, pick your delivery window, and the truck drops the load where you mark it.
Selecting the right gravel or rock for your Attica property starts with size and function. These are the options we deliver, each suited to a different job.
| Product | Use | Note |
|---|---|---|
| 3/8" Natural Pea Gravel | play areas, patios | Rounded and smooth underfoot, ideal for seating areas and kids' zones. |
| River Rock | beds, borders, dry creek beds | Smooth, rounded stone in mixed sizes, natural look for landscape features. |
| 2-4" River Rock | larger decorative cover and erosion control | Bigger pieces resist washout on slopes and create bold visual lines. |
| Drain Rock | French drains and dry wells | Angular, clean stone that moves water fast and stays in place. |
| Decomposed Granite | paths and patios that compact firm | Compacts to a hard, permeable surface with a natural gritty look. |
| Crusher Run | compacting base under everything | Blend of crushed stone and fines that locks tight when compacted. |
| Road Base | lanes and pads that carry trucks | Heavy duty base that supports vehicle weight and stays stable. |
Each job has a best-fit stone. This table matches the project to the product and the typical approach.
| Project | What to order | Depth or note |
|---|---|---|
| Path that stays firm | Decomposed Granite | Compacts to a firm, walkable surface with no loose stones. |
| Dry creek bed | River Rock | Layered in a trench with fabric underneath to prevent weeds and soil mixing. |
| French drain | Drain Rock | Surrounds perforated pipe; wraps with filter fabric to keep soil out. |
| Landscape beds | 3/8" Natural Pea Gravel | Top dressing over weed fabric, about 2 inches thick. |
| Erosion control on a slope | 2-4" River Rock | Larger stones interlock to hold soil on inclines and reduce runoff speed. |
Attica's freeze-thaw cycle is the main factor in gravel and rock projects. With about 124 days a year below freezing, the ground heaves and settles. That movement can loosen an unstabilized surface. The 19 inches of annual snowfall means plowing can push a loose layer aside, so compacted materials hold up better over winter. Hard freezes shape the calendar here, so base work is easier to get right from late spring through fall.
Soils in the Attica area are commonly well drained, which means less base stone is needed under the surface layer compared to heavy clay areas. The local soil takes water at a moderate rate, so a standard base depth is usually enough to handle runoff. About 74 days a year bring at least a tenth of an inch of rain, so scheduling delivery onto firm, dry ground avoids ruts and keeps the material where it belongs.
To estimate the tonnage for your project, start with the area you plan to cover and the depth you need. A cubic yard of gravel or rock weighs roughly 1.4 tons, but the exact figure depends on the product and moisture. Use our material calculators to get a precise estimate for your dimensions. Then place your order online and we deliver by the ton.

If your project calls for a different material, these pair well with gravel and rock.
Yes. Attica has about 74 wet days a year, so drainage is a practical concern. Drain rock and larger river rock move water effectively. A well-planned drainage layer helps prevent problems later.
Yes. Roughly 124 days a year drop below 32F, which means the ground cycles through freeze and thaw. That movement can shift an unanchored surface. A compacted base of crusher run or road base holds everything in place.
Size depends on the use. For paths, choose decomposed granite or pea gravel that compacts firmly. For drainage, use drain rock or 2-4 inch river rock. For decorative beds, river rock in mixed sizes gives a natural look. Match the product to the job for best results.
