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







Contractors often order gravel and rock by the truckload for big jobs. Homeowners usually need smaller amounts for one project. Gravel Monkey delivers both sizes to your address in Hale.
About 33 inches of precipitation falls here each year. That makes drainage a key factor when choosing a base layer. The right material keeps water from pooling and washing out the surface.
Gravel and rock come in sizes from small pea gravel to larger river rock. Each size suits a different use. Here are the products available for delivery.
| Product | Use | Note |
|---|---|---|
| 3/8" Natural Pea Gravel | Play areas, patios | Rounded and smooth, comfortable underfoot. |
| River Rock | Beds, borders, dry creek beds | Natural stone in mixed sizes. |
| 2-4" River Rock | Larger decorative cover and erosion control | Heavy stone stays in place on slopes. |
| Drain Rock | French drains and dry wells | Clean, angular stone for water flow. |

Hale gets about 33 inches of precipitation each year. That means drainage planning matters more than in drier locations. Adding a layer of drain rock or crusher run under the surface stone helps water move away.
About 176 days a year drop below freezing. The ground here freezes deep and stays frozen for long periods. That freeze-thaw cycle shifts the soil. Ground that freezes deep moves as it thaws, which is why the base layer matters more here than the top layer.
Soils in the Hale area are mapped as moderately well drained. The ground around here soaks water up quickly and produces little runoff. That means less drainage stone is needed under the surface, but the base still has to handle frost heave.
