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







If you are building a driveway, a patio, or a path in Monett, you need a base that stays firm and a surface that sheds water. Crusher Run compacts into a solid foundation, while River Rock gives a clean natural finish. With about 46 inches of precipitation a year, drainage and washout planning matter from the start.
The right gravel and rock for your project depend on how you use the surface and how much traffic it carries. Gravel Monkey delivers these materials by the ton straight to your address.
Gravel and rock for a project split into two groups: base materials that compact into a solid foundation and finish materials that provide the visible surface. Each serves a different purpose, and choosing the right combination gives you a long-lasting result.
| Product | Best for | Note |
|---|---|---|
| 3/8" Natural Pea Gravel | Play areas, patios | Rounded and smooth texture, comfortable underfoot. |
| River Rock | Beds, borders, dry creek beds | Natural look for landscaping features. |
| 2-4" River Rock | Larger decorative cover and erosion control | Bigger rock stays in place on slopes. |
| Drain Rock | French drains and dry wells | Clean, angular rock that lets water pass. |
| Decomposed Granite | Paths and patios that compact firm | Fine material that packs hard when wet. |
| Crusher Run | Compacting base under everything | Mixture of stone dust and gravel that locks together. |
| Road Base | Lanes and pads that carry trucks | Heavy-duty base for vehicle traffic. |
For each project there is a basic option and a longer-lasting alternative. The table below gives the most common material and depth for five typical jobs.
| Project | What to order | Depth or note |
|---|---|---|
| Landscape beds | River Rock | 2 to 3 inches for weed suppression. |
| Path that stays firm | Decomposed Granite | 3 to 4 inches, compacted. |
| Dry creek bed | 2-4" River Rock | 4 to 6 inches for volume. |
| French drain | Drain Rock | Fill trench 6 to 12 inches. |
| Erosion control on a slope | 2-4" River Rock | 4 inches minimum to hold. |
Monett gets about 46 inches of precipitation a year, so drainage matters for any gravel surface. Water that sits under the stone can soften the base and cause settling. The ground around Monett is mapped as moderately well drained, which means a base layer of Crusher Run or Road Base helps keep the surface stable.
With about 110 days a year below freezing, the ground freezes deep and stays frozen for stretches. That freeze-thaw cycle can heave a thin base. Spring thaw is the wet part of the year for driveways, and it is when a thin base shows up as ruts. Planning for a thicker base from the start saves rework later.
About 69 days a year bring at least a tenth of an inch of rain, so scheduling delivery onto firm ground keeps the truck from sinking. Also, soils in the Monett area are in hydrologic group D, which means they take water in very slowly. Most rain runs across the surface rather than soaking in, so drainage and deeper base matter more here.
Figuring out the tonnage starts with the length and width of the area and the depth you plan to use. Use our material calculators to get a quick estimate based on your dimensions. The calculator handles different material types and tells you how many tons to order.

Yes. With about 110 days a year below freezing, the ground heaves more. A deeper base of Crusher Run or Road Base helps resist movement.
Yes. With about 46 inches of precipitation a year, water can wash out a thin surface. Using a well-draining base and proper depth reduces that risk.
Yes. Smaller, angular stone with fines (like Crusher Run) locks together and compacts firmly. Larger, round stone leaves voids and does not compact as tightly.
It depends. Landscape fabric helps keep stone from mixing with the soil underneath. It works well under decorative rock in beds.
