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







A dump truck pulls up, you mark the spot, and the load comes off in one drop. That is how gravel and rock delivery works in Wichita. About 52 days a year bring at least a tenth of an inch of rain here, so scheduling the delivery onto firm ground matters more than the exact forecast.
You choose the material by the ton online and pick a delivery window at checkout. The truck handles loads from 1 to over 40 tons. Free delivery applies on qualifying orders.
Gravel and rock split into two groups: base material that supports weight and finish material that stays visible. The right choice depends on whether the layer needs to carry traffic, drain water, or look like a dry creek bed. The table below lists every product available for delivery in the Wichita area.
| Product | Best for | Note |
|---|---|---|
| 3/8" Natural Pea Gravel | play areas, patios | Rounded and smooth underfoot, does not compact firm. |
| River Rock | beds, borders, dry creek beds | Smooth, naturally colored stones that stay in place. |
| 2-4" River Rock | larger decorative cover and erosion control | Bigger size for visual weight and slope stability. |
| Drain Rock | French drains and dry wells | Clean, angular stone that moves water fast. |
| Decomposed Granite | paths and patios that compact firm | Stable surface that sheds water and resists weeds. |
| Crusher Run | compacting base under everything | Angular stone with fines that locks tight. |
| Road Base | lanes and pads that carry trucks | Heavy-duty blend graded for repeated loads. |
For each common project, you can pick a lower-cost material or a more durable option. The budget choice works now; the long-term choice holds up through more freeze cycles.
| Project | What to order | Depth or note |
|---|---|---|
| Dry creek bed | River Rock or 2-4" River Rock | 3 to 4 inches for structure and flow |
| Landscape beds | 3/8" Natural Pea Gravel or River Rock | 2 to 3 inches over weed fabric |
| French drain | Drain Rock | 12 to 18 inches around the pipe |
| Erosion control on a slope | 2-4" River Rock | 4 to 6 inches, keyed into the soil |
| Path that stays firm | Decomposed Granite over Crusher Run | 4 inches of base plus 2 inches of surface |
Wichita gets about 35 inches of precipitation a year. That means drainage and washout planning matter for any exposed rock layer. The 109 days a year that drop below freezing give the ground time to shift a poorly settled base. About 10 inches of snowfall can turn a loose surface into a mess if the plow catches it.
Sedgwick County permitted about 1,248 single-family homes in 2024, a county figure that shows construction is active. New lots often need a stable base before anything else goes down.
Ground freezing here is real but moderate. That affects how deep the base layer needs to be, especially for driveways and pads. Winters here are cold enough to move an unsettled base, so compaction is worth the extra pass.
Coverage depends on the depth you choose and the area you are covering. Gravel and rock are sold by the ton, and the right tonnage avoids extra trips or leftover piles. Use the material calculators on the site to estimate your order in minutes. Enter the length, width and depth to get a tonnage number.
Gravel Monkey is a national aggregate broker. That means there is no yard to visit. The truck comes to your address from a regional supplier. You order online by the ton, and delivery is priced by ZIP at checkout. Loads range from 1 to over 40 tons, and free delivery is available on qualifying orders.
Book a delivery day that is at least 3 business days after the order date. Choose a morning window (7 am to 12 pm) or an afternoon window (12 pm to 5 pm). You must provide a valid phone number for the driver. After ordering, you get an email confirmation. Closer to the date, a second email arrives with the scheduled window and a photo of the material being loaded. Delivery only goes ahead once you approve that second email.
You or someone you nominate must be present during the delivery window. The site needs a road width of at least 12 feet. If access is restricted, the crew unloads as close to the requested spot as safely possible. For more details, see the About Gravel Monkey page, customer reviews, and delivery information. Use code FIRSTTIMER50 for $50 off a first order.
Gravel and rock pair with other bulk materials for full-yard projects. The following products are available for delivery in the same area.
Yes. Wichita gets about 35 inches of precipitation a year, enough to push water through a poorly drained rock layer. Drain rock or a properly sloped base of crusher run keeps the surface from turning into a mud puddle after a heavy rain.
Yes. With about 109 days a year below freezing, the ground can heave enough to unsettle a loose surface. Compacting the base well and choosing angular materials like crusher run or road base reduces shifting over the winter.
Order at least 3 business days before you need the material. That is the minimum lead time. You can book farther out if you want a specific date.
No. You or a nominated person must be present during the chosen delivery window. The driver needs someone to confirm the drop spot and check access. If no one is there, a missed delivery fee can apply.
