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







The delivered price of gravel and rock depends on the weight, the distance the truck travels, and the material you pick. Currituck gets about 51 inches of precipitation a year, which makes drainage planning a smart step before you order.
That annual rainfall means washout is a real risk on loose surfaces. The right product and a proper base layer keep your project stable for years.
Picking the wrong gravel can lead to shifting stones or clogged drains. The table below shows what each product is built for.
| Product | Best For | Note |
|---|---|---|
| 3/8" Natural Pea Gravel | Play areas, patios | Rounded and smooth; not stable under vehicle traffic. |
| River Rock | Beds, borders, dry creek beds | Decorative and stays put; larger sizes don't compact. |
| 2-4" River Rock | Erosion control, larger decorative cover | Heavy enough to resist washout on moderate slopes. |
| Drain Rock | French drains, dry wells | Clean, angular stone that lets water flow freely. |
| Decomposed Granite | Paths, patios that compact firm | Binds into a hard surface but needs a base on wet ground. |
| Crusher Run | Compacting base under everything | Contains fines that lock together; ideal first layer. |
| Road Base | Lanes and pads that carry trucks | Engineered for heavy loads; requires proper depth and compaction. |
The table matches typical projects to the right material and a starting depth.
| Project | What to Order | Depth or Note |
|---|---|---|
| French drain | Drain Rock | Fill trench 8 to 12 inches deep, wrap in fabric. |
| Erosion control on a slope | 2-4" River Rock | 3 to 4 inches; the weight holds against runoff. |
| Path that stays firm | Decomposed Granite | 2 to 3 inches over a compacted crusher run base. |
| Landscape beds | River Rock | 2 to 3 inches; choose 1-3" for clean look. |
| Dry creek bed | River Rock | 3 to 6 inches, mix sizes for natural appearance. |
Frost is not the constraint here, so the calendar is driven by rain and by how wet the ground is. Currituck sees about 79 days a year with at least a tenth of an inch of rain, which means scheduling delivery onto firm ground matters. A wet yard can turn a clean drop into a rutted mess.
About 52 days a year drop below 32 degrees Fahrenheit, though the ground does not freeze deeply here. Snowfall averages only 3 inches per year, but plowing that snow can scatter a loose gravel surface if the stones are not compacted. Soils mapped in the Currituck area are commonly moderately well drained, so less base stone may be needed under the surface layer compared to poorly drained ground. Ground around Currituck takes water in slowly and sheds a fair amount across the surface, which makes a deeper drainage layer worthwhile for any area that collects runoff.
Currituck County permitted about 429 single-family homes in 2024, a county figure that suggests steady new construction. New driveways and pads benefit from planning the base depth with the local rain pattern in mind.
Gravel and rock are sold by the ton. To estimate the weight needed, measure the length and width of the area, decide the depth, then run the numbers through our material calculators. The calculator tells you tons, not truckloads, so you order exactly what the dump truck will bring.
Ordering is simple: choose your product and quantity online, enter your Currituck ZIP code for a delivered price, and pick a delivery window. The truck shows up with your material in 1 to 40+ ton loads. Free delivery applies on qualifying orders. Use code FIRSTTIMER50 for $50 off your first order. 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 day with the window and a photo of the load. You must approve that email for the delivery to proceed. Someone needs to be at the site during the window. For more on how it works, see our About Gravel Monkey page, Delivery information, and Customer reviews.
Plan for about 79 days a year that bring at least a tenth of an inch of rain. Scheduling delivery on a dry stretch of several days gives the ground time to firm up and avoids ruts from the truck.
Currituck sees about 52 days a year below freezing and only about 3 inches of snow annually. The ground does not freeze deeply, so winter rarely stops a delivery. Snow plowing can scatter loose gravel if the surface is not compacted.
Size depends on the project. Small stones like 3/8" pea gravel work for patios and play areas. Larger river rock, 2 to 4 inches, holds against erosion. Angular crusher run compacts into a stable base.
