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







Frankfort gets about 43 inches of precipitation each year. That means drainage matters when you put down gravel or rock. Without a well-drained base, water can wash away fines and make the surface unstable.
Gravel Monkey delivers gravel and rock by the ton straight to your address in Frankfort and all of Clinton County. You order online, and we handle the rest. Compare the sizes below and pick what suits your job.
The most-ordered stone for Frankfort projects is Crusher Run. It compacts into a firm base that resists the wet conditions common here. The table below lists all the sizes we carry.
| Product | Use | Note |
|---|---|---|
| 3/8" Natural Pea Gravel | Play areas, patios | Rounded and smooth, comfortable underfoot. |
| River Rock | Beds, borders, dry creek beds | Smooth stones in mixed sizes for natural looks. |
| 2-4" River Rock | Larger decorative cover and erosion control | Holds in place on slopes and around drainage. |
| Drain Rock | French drains and dry wells | Clean, angular stone that lets water pass through. |
| Decomposed Granite | Paths and patios that compact firm | Stable surface that packs hard like a trail. |
| Crusher Run | Compacting base under everything | Ideal for driveways and patios before topping. |
| Road Base | Lanes and pads that carry trucks | Heavy-duty mix for vehicle traffic and heavy loads. |
The table below pairs typical Frankfort projects with the right gravel or rock. Depth recommendations are based on local soil and weather conditions.
| Project | What to order | Depth or note |
|---|---|---|
| Dry creek bed | 2-4" River Rock | 4 to 6 inches for flow and appearance. |
| Erosion control on a slope | 2-4" River Rock | 6 to 8 inches to hold in place. |
| Path that stays firm | Decomposed Granite | 3 to 4 inches, compacted. |
| French drain | Drain Rock | Fill trench to pipe depth. |
| Landscape beds | River Rock or 3/8" Natural Pea Gravel | 2 to 3 inches for coverage. |
With about 43 inches of rain each year and 80 wet days, Frankfort sees plenty of moisture. The soils in the area are often poorly drained, which means water sits near the surface. A crushed stone base of at least 4 inches helps keep the top layer dry.
Freezing also matters: about 122 days drop below 32F, and the ground freezes deep. That frost heave can push up a thin gravel layer. Snowfall of about 20 inches adds weight, and plowing can scrape loose stone. Hard freezes shape the calendar here, so base work is easier to get right from late spring through fall.
The soil's water behavior depends on drainage. In areas that are drained, water soaks in at a moderate rate. Where it is not drained, most rain runs off. This makes proper grading and a deeper base more important than in many other places.
To figure out how much stone you need, measure your project area in square feet and decide on the depth in inches. Multiply those numbers and divide by 324 to get tons. For help, try Gravel Monkey's material calculators. These tools do the math for you.
