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







Gravel Monkey delivers gravel and rock across North Carolina by the ton. You order online, choose a delivery window, and a dump truck brings the load to your address. Sizes range from fine pea gravel to large river rock, and the size you pick changes how the material drains, compacts, and holds up under traffic.
Every product is sold by the ton in loads from 1 to 40+ tons. Delivery is priced by ZIP code at checkout, so you see the full cost before you confirm. Use the code FIRSTTIMER50 on your first order to get $50 off.
| Product | Best for | Note |
|---|---|---|
| 3/8" Natural Pea Gravel | Play areas, patios | Rounded and smooth underfoot, stays loose. |
| River Rock | Beds, borders, dry creek beds | Natural colors, won't wash away in heavy rain. |
| 2-4" River Rock | Larger decorative cover and erosion control | Stays in place on slopes, good for drainage. |
| Drain Rock | French drains and dry wells | Clean, angular stone that moves water fast. |
| Decomposed Granite | Paths and patios that compact firm | Compacts to a hard, stable surface. |
| Crusher Run | Compacting base under everything | Packs tight, provides a level foundation. |
| Road Base | Lanes and pads that carry trucks | Heavy-duty aggregate for traffic areas. |

Across the cities we deliver to in North Carolina, annual precipitation runs from 46 to 59 inches. The wetter areas need deeper gravel beds to keep water from pooling. Freezing days range from about 49 to 103 days a year below 32F, depending on location, but most of the state sits in the negligible band for ground freezing. That means frost heave is rarely a problem, and you do not need extra base depth for freeze protection.
Soil hydrologic groups B and C are the most common across our served cities. Group B soils drain well, while group C soils drain slowly. On group C sites, plan on a thicker base of compacted gravel or crusher run to lift the surface above the wet zone. Work can run most of the year in this climate, which makes scheduling the delivery the easy part.

Estimating the right tonnage starts with the area and the depth you want. Gravel and rock are sold by weight, so you need to convert cubic feet to tons. Use our material calculators to get a quick estimate. Just enter the length, width, and depth, and the calculator tells you how many tons to order.
Gravel and rock are heavy, so ordering by the ton online makes sense. You pick the product, enter your ZIP code to see the delivery price, and choose a window: morning (7 am to 12 pm) or afternoon (12 pm to 5 pm). The delivery date must be at least 3 business days after the order date. You get an email confirmation, then 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.
You or someone you nominate must be at the site during the window. The site needs a road width of at least 12 feet for the truck. If access is restricted, the crew unloads as close as they safely can. Learn more on our Delivery information page. We also have an About Gravel Monkey page and a Customer reviews page where you can see feedback from other buyers.
Start with your project dimensions and use the calculator. If you are unsure, a good rule is to order a little more than you think you need. You can always arrange a second delivery. For full details on the materials available in North Carolina, visit our North Carolina location page.
