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







Gravel and rock are not the same as a soil or mulch job. You need the right size and shape to keep the surface stable under feet or tires. Iberia sees about 101 freezing days a year, which means the ground heaves enough that a shallow base will shift.
That is why picking the right material for every layer matters. The wrong stone moves, rutters, or washes away before the season is over.
Each product here is picked for a specific use. The wrong gravel for a project will not stay put or will drain poorly. Read the notes below to see what each one is not suited for.
| Product | Best for | Not suitable for |
|---|---|---|
| 3/8" Natural Pea Gravel | Play areas, patios | Rounded and smooth so it does not lock; not good for driveways or slopes. |
| River Rock | Beds, borders, dry creek beds | Too round to compact; not for paths that need a firm walking surface. |
| 2-4" River Rock | Larger decorative cover, erosion control | Too big to walk on; not for any area where people will stand. |
| Drain Rock | French drains, dry wells | Angular and clean; not for surface cover because it looks industrial. |
| Decomposed Granite | Paths, patios that compact firm | Not for wet areas; it can soften when saturated even after compaction. |
| Crusher Run | Compacting base under everything | Has fines that hold moisture; not for a surface that must shed water. |
| Road Base | Lanes, pads that carry trucks | Too coarse for a finished surface; needs a top layer for wear. |
The table below matches each project type to the material that works best in central Missouri freeze-thaw conditions.
| Project | What to order | Depth or note |
|---|---|---|
| Landscape beds | River Rock | 2 to 3 inches for weed suppression and drainage |
| Erosion control on a slope | 2-4" River Rock | 6 to 8 inches; do not use a compacted base here |
| French drain | Drain Rock | 3/4 to 1 inch clean stone; no fines |
| Path that stays firm | Decomposed Granite | 4 inches compacted, with a crusher-run base below |
| Dry creek bed | River Rock | 3 to 4 inches; use a geotextile fabric under the stone |
Freeze and thaw cycles work on loose material all winter, which is the argument for the deeper first lift. Iberia gets about 45 inches of precipitation a year, so drainage and washout planning is part of every project. About 68 days a year bring at least a tenth of an inch of rain, meaning you need to schedule the delivery onto firm ground, not mud.
The ground around Iberia takes water in very slowly, so most rain runs across the surface. That makes a deeper base under gravel more important here than in places with sandy soil. Snowfall runs about 10 inches a year, and plowing can damage a loose surface if the gravel layer is not thick enough.
Soils mapped in the area are commonly moderately well drained. That means you may need more or less base stone under the surface layer, depending on your specific spot. Frost depth is real but moderate, so the base layer should go a few inches deeper than the frost line to avoid heaving in a parking area or driveway.
Calculate the volume of your project area in cubic feet, then divide by 27 to get cubic yards. Multiply cubic yards by 1.4 to estimate tons for most gravel and rock products. Use the material calculators on our site to get a precise tonnage for your specific material and depth.
You order online, choose your load size from one ton to forty-plus tons, and the delivery is priced by ZIP at checkout. The delivery date must be at least 3 business days after you order.

Yes. Iberia has about 101 freezing days per year. If the ground is frozen or snow is in the forecast, we may need to adjust the delivery window to ensure the truck can access the site safely. You will be notified of any change.
Yes. Iberia gets about 45 inches of precipitation annually, and the soil takes water in very slowly. Most rain runs across the surface, which means a gravel surface without a proper base can wash out during a heavy storm. A deeper base layer of crusher run or drain rock helps prevent that.
Yes. You or someone you nominate must be at the site during the delivery window. If no one is there, the driver cannot complete the delivery, and a redelivery fee may apply.
