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







Gravel and rock is sold by the ton, not the bag. You pick what you need online, choose a delivery window, and a dump truck brings it to your address in Warrenton. Warrenton gets about 43 inches of precipitation a year, so drainage and washout planning matter from the start.
No yard to visit. No loading. The truck handles everything.
Each material has a job it fits best. The table below lists what works where and what to watch for.
| Product | Best for | Note |
|---|---|---|
| 3/8" Natural Pea Gravel | Play areas, patios | Rounded and smooth; not for slopes. |
| River Rock | Beds, borders, dry creek beds | Various sizes; poor for walking paths. |
| 2-4" River Rock | Larger decorative cover, erosion control | Heavy; hard to walk on barefoot. |
| Drain Rock | French drains and dry wells | Angular, clean stone for water movement. |
| Decomposed Granite | Paths and patios that compact firm | Needs a stable base like crusher run. |
| Crusher Run | Compacting base under everything | Contains fines; settles and locks tight. |
| Road Base | Lanes and pads that carry trucks | Heavy-duty; overkill for garden beds. |
Surface type and expected use drive the choice. The five common projects below show the match.
| Project | What to order | Depth or note |
|---|---|---|
| Dry creek bed | River Rock | 3 to 4 inches, with drain rock under if water pools. |
| Path that stays firm | Decomposed Granite | 2 to 3 inches over a crusher run base. |
| Landscape beds | 3/8" Natural Pea Gravel | 2 inches; edging keeps it contained. |
| Erosion control on a slope | 2-4" River Rock | 4 to 6 inches, keyed into the soil. |
| French drain | Drain Rock | 1 to 2 feet deep, wrapped in filter fabric. |
Warrenton gets about 70 wet days a year with at least a tenth of an inch of rain. Scheduling the delivery onto firm ground makes a difference. The ground here freezes on roughly 105 days a year below 32F, which shortens the working season for spreading and compacting.
Snowfall averages around 14 inches annually. Plowing can loosen a surface layer if it is not well compacted. Freeze and thaw cycles work on loose material all winter, which is the argument for the deeper first lift. Soils mapped in the Warrenton area are commonly somewhat poorly drained, so you may need more base stone under the surface layer than in other places. The ground around Warrenton is in hydrologic group D, meaning it takes water in very slowly and most rain runs across the surface. That makes drainage and a deeper base more critical here.
Tonnage depends on the area and the depth. A 1-inch layer over 100 square feet takes about a third of a ton. Use the material calculators on the site to get the number for your project before you order.

Gravel and rock often pairs with these materials for a complete project.
Yes. Warrenton gets about 43 inches of precipitation a year. The ground here takes water in very slowly, so most rain runs across the surface. That makes a well-drained base layer and angular rock like drain rock or crusher run a smart move.
It does. With about 105 freezing days per year, the ground moves more than in milder climates. A deeper lift of crusher run or road base under the surface layer helps keep the top from shifting during freeze-thaw cycles.
