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







In Caroline County, homes and farms in and around Denton often need a steady supply of gravel and rock. Driveways, paths, patios and drainage projects all rely on a load that arrives ready to spread. Denton gets about 48 inches of precipitation a year, so drainage and washout planning should factor into any project that uses loose stone.
Gravel Monkey delivers these materials by the ton, with the load dropped exactly where you mark it. There is no trip to a yard and no small bags. You order online, choose a delivery window, and the truck arrives on your schedule.
Gravel and rock come in sizes from fine crushed stone to large river rock. The table below lists the options available through Gravel Monkey for delivery to Denton. Choose by the project you have in mind.
| Product | Common Uses | Note |
|---|---|---|
| 3/8" Natural Pea Gravel | Play areas, patios | Rounded and smooth; comfortable underfoot but does not compact |
| River Rock | Beds, borders, dry creek beds | Available in multiple sizes; natural color varies by region |
| 2-4" River Rock | Larger decorative cover and erosion control | Best on slopes where smaller stone would wash away |
| Drain Rock | French drains and dry wells | Clean, angular stone that moves water quickly |
| Decomposed Granite | Paths and patios that compact firm | Compacts to a stable surface with a natural look |
| Crusher Run | Compacting base under everything | A mix of stone dust and angular rock that locks tight |
| Road Base | Lanes and pads that carry trucks | Designed for heavy loads; requires good compaction |
Different projects need different stone. The table below matches common jobs to the right product and gives a note on depth or installation.
| Project | What to Order | Depth or Note |
|---|---|---|
| French drain | Drain Rock | Depth depends on frost line and drainage needs; add extra base if soil is poorly drained |
| Path that stays firm | Decomposed Granite | Compact 4 to 6 inches deep; a geotextile base helps |
| Dry creek bed | River Rock | Layer 2 to 3 inches deep over landscape fabric |
| Erosion control on a slope | 2-4" River Rock | Place 6 to 8 inches deep; larger rock stays put better |
| Landscape beds | 3/8" Natural Pea Gravel | Spread 2 to 3 inches deep; use edging to keep it contained |
Denton gets about 48 inches of precipitation a year, which makes drainage and washout planning important. Most of that rain falls on roughly 75 days with at least a tenth of an inch, so scheduling the delivery onto firm ground helps avoid ruts. With about 83 freezing days each year, the ground expands and contracts enough to unsettle a poorly compacted base. Winters here are cold enough to move an unsettled base, so compaction is worth the extra pass. The 13 inches of annual snowfall can also cause plowing damage to a loose surface, so a well-anchored top layer like decomposed granite or crushed stone is beneficial.
Soils mapped in the Denton area are commonly very poorly drained. That means you may need more base stone under the surface layer than on better-drained sites. The ground around Denton is in dual hydrologic group B/D. Where it is drained, it takes water in at a moderate rate; where it is not, infiltration is very slow and most rain runs across the surface. So drainage and a deeper base matter more here than elsewhere.
To figure out how many tons your project requires, measure the area in square feet and decide on the depth. Use our material calculators to convert those numbers into tonnage based on the specific product. The calculators accept square footage and depth and give a tonnage figure that you can use at checkout.
Buying gravel and rock is straightforward. You order online by the ton, the delivery is priced by your ZIP code at checkout, and a dump truck brings the load to your address. Load sizes range from 1 to over 40 tons, and qualifying orders ship free. For your first order, use code FIRSTTIMER50 to save $50. The delivery date you choose must be at least 3 business days after the order date. You pick a morning window, 7 am to 12 pm, or an afternoon window, 12 pm to 5 pm.
You get an email confirmation when the order is placed and a second email closer to the date with the scheduled window and a photo of the material being loaded. The delivery goes ahead only after you approve that second email. A valid phone number is required to confirm the delivery, and you or someone you nominate must be at the site during the window. The truck needs a road width of at least 12 feet. If access is restricted, the crew unloads as close to the requested spot as they safely can. For more details, see our Delivery Information page.

Depth depends on the project type and ground conditions. For base layers, a compacted depth of 4 to 6 inches is common; for surface layers, 2 to 3 inches. The local soil and drainage conditions in Denton may call for a deeper base, especially on poorly drained sites. The material calculators can help adjust tonnage for the depth you choose.
