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







The cost of a gravel or rock delivery in New Roads comes down to the tonnage you need, the material you choose, and the distance your ZIP code adds to the trip. That last part is calculated at checkout, so you know the total before you commit.
New Roads gets about 64 inches of precipitation a year, which means drainage and washout should be planned for when you pick a surface layer and the base beneath it.
Choosing the wrong material can mean shifting surfaces, clogged drainage, or a job that needs redoing sooner than it should. Each product below is best suited for specific uses and conditions.
| Product | Best for | Note |
|---|---|---|
| 3/8" Natural Pea Gravel | Play areas and patios | Rounded and smooth, so it does not compact well underfoot. |
| River Rock | Beds, borders, dry creek beds | Available in several sizes; avoid using where a stable walking surface is needed. |
| 2-4" River Rock | Larger decorative cover and erosion control | Good for slopes, but too large to rake or walk on comfortably. |
| Drain Rock | French drains and dry wells | Clean, angular stone that lets water pass through freely. |
| Decomposed Granite | Paths and patios that compact firm | Must be compacted properly or it will rut in wet weather. |
| Crusher Run | Compacting base under everything | Contains fines that lock the stone together; essential under a surface layer. |
| Road Base | Lanes and pads that carry trucks | Designed to handle heavy loads; overkill for a simple walkway. |
Different jobs call for different materials and depths. The table below pairs common projects in New Roads with the products that work best.
| Project | What to order | Depth or note |
|---|---|---|
| Landscape beds | River Rock or 2-4" River Rock | 2 to 3 inches deep; keeps weeds down and moisture in. |
| Erosion control on a slope | 2-4" River Rock | 4 to 6 inches; the larger stone stays put better. |
| Dry creek bed | River Rock | 3 to 5 inches; rounded rock looks natural. |
| Path that stays firm | Decomposed Granite or Crusher Run base | Compact 4 inches of crusher run, then 2 inches of decomposed granite. |
| French drain | Drain Rock | 12 to 18 inches deep around the pipe; wraps in filter fabric. |
About 74 days a year bring at least a tenth of an inch of rain in New Roads, so scheduling delivery onto firm ground matters. Wet ground can leave ruts and make compaction harder. Plan for a stretch of dry weather to prepare the site.
The ground drops below freezing roughly 20 days a year. That is enough freeze-thaw cycles to push an unstable base out of shape. Frost is not a significant factor here, so you do not need the deep base layers common in colder places. Still, a properly compacted crusher run base will resist the movement that happens when the ground freezes and thaws.
Soils mapped in the New Roads area are commonly somewhat poorly drained, and the ground is in hydrologic group C, which means it takes water in slowly and sheds a fair amount across the surface. A deeper drainage layer under your gravel or rock earns its place by moving water away before it can soften the base.
Frost is not the constraint here, so the calendar is driven by rain and by how wet the ground is.
Tonnage depends on the area you are covering and the depth you choose. Our material calculators let you enter dimensions and get a tonnage estimate, which you can use to compare products and plan your order.
You order online by the ton, and delivery is priced by your ZIP code at checkout. Loads run from one ton up to forty-plus tons. First orders take $50 off with the code FIRSTTIMER50.
The delivery date you choose must be at least 3 business days after the order date. You pick a window: morning (7 am to 12 pm) or afternoon (12 pm to 5 pm). A valid phone number is needed to confirm the delivery. You will get an email confirmation, then a second email closer to the date with the scheduled window and a photo of the material being loaded. Delivery goes ahead only after you approve that second email.
You or someone you nominate must be at the site during the window. The site needs a road width of at least 12 feet for the truck. If access is restricted, the crew unloads as close to the requested spot as they safely can.

Many jobs need more than one material. The items below work alongside gravel and rock for a complete project.
New Roads experiences about 74 days a year with at least a tenth of an inch of rain. Plan your delivery for a stretch of dry weather so the ground is firm enough for the truck and for compaction.
The area gets about 20 days a year below freezing, which can cause the ground to shift slightly if the base is not compacted well. Delivery itself is not usually interrupted, but scheduling may be affected by rain rather than frost.
Size depends on the use. Small rounded stone like pea gravel works for play areas, while larger river rock suits erosion control. Angular crushed stone compacts well under paths and driveways. Match the size to the traffic and drainage needs of your project.
