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







Contractors tend to order gravel and rock by the kind of base they need. Homeowners often start with a look they want and work backward to the material. Both end up asking the same question: which size and shape holds up in this climate.
Marshfield gets about 47 inches of precipitation a year, so drainage and washout planning matter for any surface that needs to stay in place. The right gravel or rock handles that water while still looking like the plan intended.
The products below cover the useful range for Marshfield projects, from a smooth play surface to a load-bearing base. Each is sold by the ton, and the delivery price is set by your ZIP code at checkout.
| Product | Best for | Note |
|---|---|---|
| 3/8" Natural Pea Gravel | Play areas, patios | Rounded and smooth underfoot, low compaction. |
| River Rock | Beds, borders, dry creek beds | Smooth stones that stay put in low traffic zones. |
| 2-4" River Rock | Decorative cover, erosion control | Larger pieces that handle slope and heavy rain. |
| Drain Rock | French drains, dry wells | Clean, angular rock sized for water flow. |
| Decomposed Granite | Paths, patios that compact firm | Fine material that packs hard with a binder. |
| Crusher Run | Compacting base under everything | A mix of stone dust and rock that locks tight. |
| Road Base | Lanes, pads that carry trucks | Engineered to support repeated heavy loads. |
The table matches the problem to the product. Depth is a starting point; use the material calculators to confirm tonnage for your area.
| Project | What to order | Depth or note |
|---|---|---|
| Landscape beds | River Rock | 2 to 3 inches for weed suppression. |
| Path that stays firm | Decomposed Granite | Compact in 2-inch lifts, total 4 inches. |
| Erosion control on a slope | 2-4" River Rock | 4 to 6 inches on the fall line. |
| French drain | Drain Rock | Fill trench completely; wrap in fabric. |
| Dry creek bed | River Rock | 3 to 4 inches over a geotextile layer. |
About 71 days a year bring at least a tenth of an inch of rain. That means scheduling the delivery onto firm ground so the truck does not rut the site before the material is placed.
Around 100 days a year drop below 32F. The work window for placing and compacting a path or base is narrower than in warmer counties, and freezing ground movement can shift an unsettled layer. Soils mapped in the Marshfield area are commonly moderately well drained, so more base stone under the surface layer may be needed to keep the top course stable. The ground around Marshfield is in hydrologic group D, which means it takes water in very slowly, so most rain runs across the surface. That makes drainage and a deeper base matter more here than elsewhere. Winters here are cold enough to move an unsettled base, so compaction is worth the extra pass.
About 8 inches of snow fall in a typical year. When the snow is plowed off a driveway or walk, a loose gravel surface can get pushed aside or rutted. A compacted base and a well-graded top layer reduce that damage. Frost depth in the area is real but moderate, and how deep the base layer needs to be depends on the load the surface will carry.
Tonnage depends on the area you are covering, the depth you choose, and the specific density of the product. The easiest way to find the right amount is to use the material calculators on the Gravel Monkey site. Enter your square footage and intended depth, and the calculator returns the tons. That figure sets the order quantity at checkout.
You order online by the ton, and the delivery price is calculated by your ZIP code during checkout. The load comes on a dump truck to the address you give, and you mark where you want it dropped.

The delivery date is chosen at checkout and must be at least 3 business days after the order date. You pick a delivery window, morning 7 am to 12 pm or afternoon 12 pm to 5 pm. A valid phone number is required to confirm the delivery. You get an email confirmation when the order is placed, then a second email closer to the date with the scheduled window and a photo of the material being loaded. Delivery only goes ahead once you approve that second email. You or someone you nominate must be at the site during the delivery window.

Sizes range from fine decomposed granite (about 1/4 inch and smaller) up to 2-4 inch river rock. Smaller sizes like 3/8 inch pea gravel are easy to walk on and compact, while larger rock resists washing out on slopes. The shape also varies: rounded rock moves underfoot, angular crushed stone locks together when compacted.
Ordering from Gravel Monkey is straightforward. Choose your material, use the material calculators to get the right tonnage, and select a delivery date at least 3 business days out. The truck brings the load to your address.
