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







Contractors and homeowners buy gravel and rock with different priorities. Contractors order bulk loads for base layers and drainage, while homeowners often choose decorative top coats. Dillon gets about 11 inches of precipitation a year, so drainage and washout planning matter for both groups.
Gravel Monkey delivers by the ton straight to your address in Dillon and across Beaverhead County. You pick the size and type online, and the truck brings it to your site.
Gravel and rock come in sizes from fine crushed stone to large river rock. Each size serves a different use, from compacted paths to decorative dry creek beds. The table below lists the products you can order.
| Product | Best For | Note |
|---|---|---|
| 3/8" Natural Pea Gravel | Play areas, patios | Rounded and smooth, easy to walk on. |
| River Rock | Beds, borders, dry creek beds | Various sizes for natural-looking beds and borders. |
| 2-4" River Rock | Larger decorative cover and erosion control | Size handles runoff and stays in place. |
| Drain Rock | French drains and dry wells | Clean, angular stone that moves water fast. |
| Decomposed Granite | Paths and patios that compact firm | Binds when compacted, stays dust-free. |
| Crusher Run | Compacting base under everything | Contains fines that lock the stone together. |
| Road Base | Lanes and pads that carry trucks | Engineered for heavy loads and stability. |
Each project needs a specific type and depth. This table matches common jobs to the right product.

Dillon has about 206 freezing days a year, so the ground freezes deep and stays frozen for months. Ground that freezes deep moves as it thaws, which is why the base layer matters more here than the top layer. That freeze-thaw cycle puts stress on any unstable base, so compacting the subgrade and using a proper base material like Crusher Run pays off.
About 42 inches of snow falls annually, and plowing can damage a loose gravel surface. A well-compacted top layer resists scraping and shifting. Soils mapped in the Dillon area are commonly well drained, and the ground takes water in at a moderate rate. That means a standard base depth is usually enough, but the base layer still matters more than the top layer because of the freeze-thaw cycle.
Gravel and rock are sold by the ton. To estimate your tonnage, measure the project area in square feet and multiply by the desired depth in inches. A loose cubic yard of gravel weighs about 1.4 tons, but this varies by type. Use the material calculators on Gravel Monkey's site to get a precise figure.
