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







Whether you are planning a new path, a French drain, or a dry creek bed, ordering the right gravel or rock starts with knowing how much you need by the ton. The ground around Livingston takes water in very slowly, so drainage and a deeper base matter more here than elsewhere.
Gravel Monkey delivers by the dump truck to your address in Livingston and the rest of Livingston Parish. You choose the size and type that fits your job, and we bring it.
Livingston projects call for anything from a few tons of small decorative stone for a patio to larger rock for erosion control. The table below lists the sizes available and what each works best for.
| Product | Best For | Note |
|---|---|---|
| 3/8" Natural Pea Gravel | Play areas, patios | Rounded and smooth underfoot |
| River Rock | Beds, borders, dry creek beds | Variety of sizes for a natural look |
| 2-4" River Rock | Larger decorative cover and erosion control | Good on slopes where washout is a concern |
| Drain Rock | French drains and dry wells | Clean, angular stone that moves water |
| Decomposed Granite | Paths and patios that compact firm | Packs tight for a stable surface |
| Crusher Run | Compacting base under everything | Contains fines for a solid foundation |
| Road Base | Lanes and pads that carry trucks | Designed for heavy loads and traffic |
The right gravel or rock depends on what you are trying to fix. Here is how to match the product to the job.
| Project | What to Order | Depth or Note |
|---|---|---|
| Erosion control on a slope | 2-4" River Rock | 4 to 6 inches deep, keyed into the slope |
| French drain | Drain Rock | Fill trench 12 to 18 inches deep around perforated pipe |
| Landscape beds | River Rock | 2 to 3 inches deep for weed suppression |
| Dry creek bed | River Rock with larger 2-4" River Rock accents | Varying depth for a natural flow look |
| Path that stays firm | Decomposed Granite | 3 to 4 inches deep, compacted in lifts |
Livingston gets about 68 inches of precipitation a year, which means drainage and washout planning should drive your material choices. Around 77 days a year bring at least a tenth of an inch of rain, so scheduling the delivery onto firm ground matters for a clean installation.
Only about 29 days a year drop below 32F, and ground freezing here is not a significant factor. That means the base layer does not need extra depth for frost protection. Soils mapped in the Livingston area are commonly somewhat poorly drained, so more base stone under the surface layer helps keep water from pooling. The ground around Livingston is in hydrologic group D, which means it takes water in very slowly, so most rain runs across the surface. This makes a deeper base and careful drainage even more important than in many other places.
Work can run most of the year in this climate, which makes scheduling the delivery the easy part.
Figuring out the tonnage for your project starts with the area and desired depth. Use our material calculators to get a quick estimate based on your project dimensions. The calculator handles square feet and depth and returns the tons you need to order.
