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







The delivered price for gravel and rock in Warrensburg depends on the material's weight per ton, the distance from the nearest regional quarry to your address, and the size of the load. A larger order spreads the trucking cost across more tonnage, which often lowers the cost per ton.
Local conditions also affect the amount you need. Warrensburg gets about 42 inches of precipitation a year, which means drainage and washout are real considerations that influence the base depth and the material choice for your project.
Not every gravel and rock works for every job. Here is what each product is not suitable for, so you pick the right one.
| Product | Use | Note |
|---|---|---|
| 3/8" Natural Pea Gravel | play areas, patios | Rounded and smooth; it shifts under load so avoid driveways or bases that need stability. |
| River Rock | beds, borders, dry creek beds | Stays loose and does not compact, so it is not suited for walking surfaces without a stabilizer. |
| 2-4" River Rock | larger decorative cover and erosion control | Too large to walk on comfortably; use for visual scale and flow control, not paths. |
| Drain Rock | French drains and dry wells | Angular shape aids water flow but makes it unpleasant underfoot; not for top cover. |
| Decomposed Granite | paths and patios that compact firm | Needs a stable base and good drainage; do not use in wet, low-lying areas where it can wash. |
| Crusher Run | compacting base under everything | Rough texture and no visual appeal; it is a structural layer, not a finish grade. |
| Road Base | lanes and pads that carry trucks | Designed for heavy loads; it is overkill for decorative beds or narrow walkways. |
The table below matches your project to the right gravel and rock product.
| Project | What to order | Depth or note |
|---|---|---|
| Dry creek bed | River Rock or 2-4" River Rock | 4 to 6 inches; larger rock holds in flow. |
| Landscape beds | River Rock or 3/8" Pea Gravel | 2 to 3 inches; river rock stays put, pea gravel is easier to walk on. |
| Erosion control on a slope | 2-4" River Rock or Drain Rock | 6 inches; angular rock interlocks better on grade. |
| Path that stays firm | Decomposed Granite | 4 inches compacted; needs a geotextile or base layer beneath. |
| French drain | Drain Rock | 12 inches minimum around the pipe; clean, angular stone for water movement. |
Soils mapped in the Warrensburg area are in hydrologic group C, which means they take water in slowly and shed a fair amount across the surface. That behavior makes a deeper drainage layer worthwhile when you install gravel or rock over native soil.
Warrensburg gets about 42 inches of precipitation a year, and about 65 days bring at least a tenth of an inch of rain. Plan your delivery for a dry stretch so the ground is firm enough to support the truck and the material.
About 116 days a year drop below freezing. Freeze and thaw cycles work on loose material all winter, which is the argument for the deeper first lift. The work window for installing gravel and rock runs from spring to fall, when the ground is not frozen and the soil moisture is moderate.
To figure out the tonnage for your project, measure the length and width of the area in feet, multiply by the depth in inches, and divide by 12 to get cubic feet. Dividing by 27 gives you cubic yards. Multiply by the material's density to get tons. Use the material calculators on our site to do the math for you.

Plan your delivery around the roughly 65 days a year that bring at least a tenth of an inch of rain. Scheduling onto firm ground prevents the truck from sinking and the material from mixing with mud.
Yes, with about 42 inches of precipitation a year, washout is a concern for loose material on slopes. Using larger rock or angular drain rock and a proper base depth reduces the risk.
