Saint Louis gets about 44 inches of precipitation a year. That means drainage needs to work right on any gravel surface you install.
The right gravel or rock depends on drainage, compaction and weight. Here are the products we deliver to Saint Louis.
| Product | Best for | Note |
|---|---|---|
| 3/8" Natural Pea Gravel | Play areas, patios | Not for driveways; round stones do not lock. |
| River Rock | Beds, borders, dry creek beds | Not compactable; does not stabilize on slopes. |
| 2-4" River Rock | Larger decorative cover, erosion control | Not for walking; angular but too large for paths. |
| Drain Rock | French drains, dry wells | Not for decorative use; sharp edges filter water. |
| Decomposed Granite | Paths and patios that compact firm | Not for wet areas; can wash out without edging. |
| Crusher Run | Compacting base under everything | Not for top surface; contains fines that hold moisture. |
| Road Base | Lanes and pads that carry trucks | Not for decorative use; heavy-duty only. |

| Project | What to order | Depth or note |

| Dry creek bed | River Rock | 2 to 3 inches for a natural look |

| Erosion control on a slope | 2-4" River Rock | 4 to 6 inches to hold soil |
Snowfall averages about 11 inches a year. If you plow a gravel driveway, the loose top layer can get pushed into the lawn. Planning a border or a paved edge helps keep the material in place.
Ground freezing in Saint Louis is real but moderate. The base layer needs to be thick enough to resist heaving from the freeze-thaw cycle. Freeze and thaw cycles work on loose material all winter, which is the argument for the deeper first lift.
Measure the area in square feet and multiply by the depth in feet to get cubic feet. Divide by the cubic feet per ton for the material. Our material calculators do that math for you.

Yes. The freeze season runs about 97 days below 32F each year. That freeze-thaw cycle can shift and unsettle loose gravel. A deeper base lift and angular materials like crusher run resist that movement better than round stone.
Yes. Saint Louis has about 72 days a year with measurable rain. Drain rock and open-graded gravel handle that moisture best. Avoid materials that hold water in low spots.
No. Someone must be at the site during the delivery window. You or a nominated person must be available. If no one is there, the delivery may be cancelled and a redelivery fee can apply.
At least 3 business days. You pick the delivery date at checkout, and it must be at least 3 business days after the order. You also need time to confirm the load when you receive the second email.
