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







Greencastle gets about 46 inches of precipitation a year. That moisture drives drainage and washout planning for any gravel or rock project. The right material choice and base depth keep your work stable through wet seasons.
Whether you are building a driveway, a path, or a drainage system, gravel and rock deliver a durable, workable surface. Orders run from one ton to more than 40, and delivery comes to your address by dump truck.
Crusher Run is the most-ordered product for compacted base layers in Greencastle. It packs firm and distributes loads evenly. For surface layers and decorative work, these alternatives fit different jobs.
| Product | Best for | Note |

| 3/8" Natural Pea Gravel | Play areas, patios | Rounded, smooth, easy underfoot. |
| River Rock | Beds, borders, dry creek beds | Natural look, stays in place well. |
| 2-4" River Rock | Larger decorative cover, erosion control | Heavy, resists washing on slopes. |
| Drain Rock | French drains, dry wells | Clean, angular, promotes water flow. |
| Decomposed Granite | Paths, patios that compact firm | Hardens when compacted, permeable. |

Greencastle sees about 127 days a year where the temperature drops below 32F. That many freeze-thaw cycles mean the ground moves, so base layers need more depth to stay stable. About 20 inches of snowfall each year can damage a loose gravel surface during plowing, so a compacted top layer matters.
The area gets around 80 wet days a year, at least a tenth of an inch each. Scheduling the delivery onto firm ground avoids ruts and compaction issues. Soils mapped in the Greencastle area are commonly moderately well drained, which may affect how much base stone you need under the surface layer. Ground here is in dual hydrologic group B/D: where it is drained it takes water in at a moderate rate; where it is not, it takes water in very slowly, so most rain runs across the surface. Because of that, drainage and a deeper base matter more here than elsewhere. Hard freezes shape the calendar here, so base work is easier to get right from late spring through fall.
To figure out how many tons you need, measure the area and desired depth, then use our material calculators. Enter your dimensions, and the calculator gives a tonnage estimate for any product on this page. Always order a bit extra to account for compaction and settling.

The tonnage depends on the area and depth. As a guide, one ton of gravel covers about 100 square feet at 2 inches deep. That depth suits walkways; driveways need 4 to 6 inches of base stone. Use our material calculators for an accurate estimate.

Edge restraints like metal or plastic edging keep gravel in place. For driveways, a solid curb or timber edge works. Compacted base material also helps prevent lateral movement.
Landscape fabric is recommended under decorative gravel and rock. It suppresses weeds while letting water drain. For base layers that compact heavily, fabric is optional because the stone locks together.
