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







Catron County properties, from ranch roads to dry-climate landscaping, rely on gravel and rock for surfaces that handle the weather. Quemado gets about 13 inches of precipitation a year, which makes drainage and washout planning a key part of any gravel job.
Ordering by the ton from Gravel Monkey means you pick the material online, choose a delivery window, and let the dump truck bring it to your address. No trip to a yard, no renting a trailer, and no guessing how much you need.
The size and shape of the aggregate control what it can do, from a smooth path to a base that stays put under traffic. This table lists the options you can order for a Quemado delivery.
| Product | Best for | Note |
|---|---|---|
| 3/8" Natural Pea Gravel | Play areas, patios | Rounded and smooth, comfortable underfoot and easy to spread. |
| River Rock | Beds, borders, dry creek beds | Natural stone that stays in place and resists being moved by runoff. |
| 2-4" River Rock | Larger decorative cover and erosion control | Heavy stones that hold slopes and add visual weight to a landscape. |
| Drain Rock | French drains and dry wells | Clean, angular rock that lets water pass through without clogging. |
| Decomposed Granite | Paths and patios that compact firm | Fine, gritty material that locks into a hard surface when compacted. |
| Crusher Run | Compacting base under everything | Angular stone and fines that pack into a stable foundation layer. |
| Road Base | Lanes and pads that carry trucks | Engineered blend designed to support vehicle loads without rutting. |
Every project has a failure mode that the right aggregate prevents. This table matches typical Quemado jobs to the product that addresses the problem.
| Project | What to order | Depth or note |
|---|---|---|
| Landscape beds | River Rock | 2 to 3 inches deep, holds moisture and suppresses weeds. |
| Path that stays firm | Decomposed Granite | 3 to 4 inches after compaction, needs edge restraint. |
| French drain | Drain Rock | 1.5 times the pipe diameter, wrapped in filter fabric. |
| Dry creek bed | 2-4" River Rock | 6 to 8 inches deep, layered with smaller rock on top. |
| Erosion control on a slope | 2-4" River Rock | 4 to 6 inches deep, keyed into the slope face. |
About 42 days a year bring at least a tenth of an inch of rain in Quemado. Scheduling the delivery onto firm ground means picking a dry stretch so the truck can reach the drop point without getting stuck. The ground around Quemado takes water in slowly and sheds a fair amount across the surface, so a deeper drainage layer earns its place under any base course.
Nearly 194 days a year drop below freezing. That cold weather shrinks the work window and makes the ground move enough to unsettle a poorly compacted base. Winters here are cold enough to move an unsettled base, so compaction is worth the extra pass. Plan installations for late spring or early fall, when the soil is workable and the freeze-thaw cycle is quiet.
About 23 inches of snow falls annually. Plowing can gouge a loose surface, so consider a bonded material like decomposed granite or crusher run for driveways and walkways that need to be scraped clean.
Volume depends on the area and the depth you choose. Multiply the square footage by the depth in inches, then use the material calculators on the Gravel Monkey site to convert that to tons. Ordering by the ton avoids overbuying and having a pile left over.
You order online by the ton, and the price for delivery is calculated by your ZIP code at checkout. A dump truck brings the load to your Quemado address in quantities from 1 to over 40 tons. Orders that meet the qualifying total get free delivery. First-time customers can use code FIRSTTIMER50 for $50 off their order.
You choose a delivery window at checkout, morning or afternoon. A valid phone number is required so the dispatcher can confirm the delivery. You get an email confirmation when you order and a second email closer to the date with the scheduled window and a photo of the material being loaded. Delivery only goes ahead once you approve that second email. Someone must be at the site during the delivery window.

The delivery cost is calculated by your ZIP code at checkout, so the price varies by location. Orders that qualify get free delivery. There are about 42 wet days a year in Quemado, so a delivery on a dry day avoids the risk of the truck getting stuck or the material washing before it is spread.
No, someone must be present during the delivery window. You can nominate a person to be at the site if you cannot be there. If nobody is available, the delivery cannot be completed and a missed delivery fee may apply.
The sizes range from small, like 3/8" pea gravel, to large, like 2-4" river rock. Smaller stones are easier to walk on and spread flat, while larger stones resist erosion and stay in place on slopes. Angular materials like crusher run lock together when compacted, while rounded materials like river rock stay loose and drain freely.
