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







East Wilton gets about 49 inches of precipitation a year, so drainage and washout planning matter on every project. That makes the choice of base material and surface rock critical to staying dry and stable after a heavy rain.
Whether you are building a driveway, laying a path, or controlling erosion, the right gravel and rock keep your work from turning into a maintenance problem. Here is what you need to know about what to order and how much.
Crusher Run sees the most orders here because it compacts into a solid base that holds up under the freeze-thaw cycle. The table below lists the gravel and rock we deliver by the ton to your East Wilton address.
| Product | Best for | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Crusher Run | Compacting base under everything | Contains fines that lock together; use it as the first layer |
| 3/8" Natural Pea Gravel | Play areas, patios | Rounded and smooth, stays in place with edging |
| River Rock | Beds, borders, dry creek beds | Natural look in multiple sizes; sold by density |
| 2-4" River Rock | Larger decorative cover, erosion control | Heavy pieces that resist washing out on slopes |
| Drain Rock | French drains and dry wells | Clean, angular rock that moves water fast |
| Decomposed Granite | Paths and patios that compact firm | Fines plus small stone; needs a base underneath |
| Road Base | Lanes and pads that carry trucks | Engineered blend for heavy loads; deeper is better |
The table below maps common projects to the right gravel or rock and gives a typical depth. Always check the intended use before ordering.
| Project | What to order | Depth or note |
|---|---|---|
| Erosion control on a slope | 2-4" River Rock | 4 to 6 inches; larger stone stays put |
| Landscape beds | River Rock | 2 to 3 inches; use weed fabric underneath |
| French drain | Drain Rock | Encase the pipe in 6 to 8 inches of clean stone |
| Path that stays firm | Decomposed Granite | 3 to 4 inches over a Crusher Run base |
| Dry creek bed | River Rock | Place 3 to 5 inches for natural flow appearance |
About 89 days each year bring at least a tenth of an inch of rain. Scheduling the delivery onto firm ground matters because soft soil can rut under the truck and spoil the base. The county permitted roughly 157 single-family homes in 2024, so new construction is active and base preparation is a focus.
The ground here drops below 32F about 176 days a year, which shortens the work window and causes frost heave. Soils mapped in the East Wilton area are commonly somewhat poorly drained, so more base stone under the surface layer is usually called for than in well-drained areas. Ground around East Wilton is in hydrologic group D, meaning most rain runs across the surface. Drainage and a deeper base matter more here than elsewhere. Snowfall averages about 91 inches a year, and plowing can damage a loose surface, so a well-compacted top layer is essential. Hard freezes shape the calendar here, so base work is easier to get right from late spring through fall.
Frost penetrates deep and long in Franklin County, which pushes the base depth needed to keep the surface from heaving. A competent contractor accounts for that when designing the gravel section.
Tonnage depends on the area, the depth you plan, and the material's density. Use our material calculators to get a rough number before you place an order. Enter the square footage and depth, and the tool gives a tonnage range for the product you select.

Gravel and rock often work alongside other aggregates. These materials pair well on the same order.
Yes. The ground here freezes for about 176 days a year, which means frost heave is a real risk. You need a deeper base layer of Crusher Run or Road Base to keep the surface from shifting when the ground thaws.
Yes. The area gets about 49 inches of precipitation a year, and soils in hydrologic group D let water in very slowly, so most rain runs across the surface. That makes drainage the primary factor: use Drain Rock for any subsurface water control and add a thicker base than you would in drier regions.
