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







The delivered price of gravel and rock in Ennis is shaped by two things: the weight of the load and the distance the truck travels. Gravel Monkey sources from a network of regional quarries, so the cost you see at checkout reflects the haul from the nearest supplier.
Another factor is the ground under the project. Soils mapped in the Ennis area are commonly well drained, meaning water moves through them at a moderate rate. That usually lets you use a standard base depth, which can hold down the total tons you need to order.
Each gravel and rock product suits a different job. None of them works for everything, so match the material to the task.
| Product | Best for | Note |
|---|---|---|
| 3/8" Natural Pea Gravel | Play areas, patios | Rounded and smooth, not for slopes or driveways. |
| River Rock | Beds, borders, dry creek beds | Varies in size; weed barrier underneath helps. |
| 2-4" River Rock | Larger decorative cover, erosion control | Heavy enough to stay put on moderate slopes. |
| Drain Rock | French drains, dry wells | Clean, angular rock that lets water through. |
| Decomposed Granite | Paths, patios that compact firm | Not for wet areas; needs a compacted base. |
| Crusher Run | Compacting base under everything | Contains fines; must be compacted in lifts. |
| Road Base | Lanes, pads that carry trucks | Engineered for load bearing; use where vehicles go. |
The project type decides the right material and depth.
| Project | What to order | Depth or note |
|---|---|---|
| Dry creek bed | River Rock or 2-4" River Rock | 4 to 6 inches for visual flow. |
| Path that stays firm | Decomposed Granite | 3 to 4 inches compacted over base. |
| Erosion control on a slope | 2-4" River Rock | 6 to 8 inches; larger rock resists washout. |
| French drain | Drain Rock | 12 to 18 inches in trench; wrap in fabric. |
| Landscape beds | 3/8" Natural Pea Gravel or River Rock | 2 to 3 inches; weed fabric recommended. |
Ground freezing in Ennis is deep and long. That means base layers for driveways and pads need to go below the frost line to avoid heaving. Plan your excavation depth accordingly.
The ground around Ennis is in hydrologic group B, which means it takes water in at a moderate rate. For most projects, a standard base depth is usually enough to handle rain and snowmelt, reducing the need for extra drainage stone.
Madison County permitted about 11 single-family homes in 2024. That level of new construction maintains a steady demand for gravel and rock, and local suppliers are accustomed to servicing Ennis addresses. Hard freezes shape the calendar here, so base work is easier to get right from late spring through fall.
To figure out how many tons you need, measure the project area in square feet and multiply by the desired depth in inches. Then divide by the material's coverage per ton. Use our material calculators to get a precise number for your Ennis project.

Yes. Ennis has about 1,088 residents, so its streets are quiet and delivery access is straightforward. Still, the ground freezes deep and long, so base work is easier to get right from late spring through fall. Ordering in that window lets you excavate before the frost sets in.
The ground around Ennis takes water in at a moderate rate, so even after rain the surface drains fairly quickly. You can schedule delivery any day, but allow a day for puddles to clear. Plan around the forecast if you need a dry surface for compaction.
The size depends on the project. For paths that stay firm, choose decomposed granite or crusher run. For drainage, use drain rock. For decorative beds, 3/8" pea gravel or river rock works well. Larger river rock works for erosion control on slopes.
