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







Choosing the right size of gravel or rock changes how it performs on your property. Small pea gravel stays put on a patio, while large river rock holds a slope in place. Base materials like crusher run compact into a firm foundation.
Fayetteville gets about 47 inches of precipitation a year. That means drainage and washout need to be part of your plan from the start.
The size you pick determines how the material behaves and what job it suits best. Below are the most common options stocked through Gravel Monkey.
| Product | Use | Note |
|---|---|---|
| 3/8" Natural Pea Gravel | Play areas, patios | Rounded and smooth, comfortable underfoot. |
| River Rock | Beds, borders, dry creek beds | Mixed sizes for natural-looking coverage. |
| 2-4" River Rock | Larger decorative cover and erosion control | Heavy rock that stays in place on slopes. |
| Drain Rock | French drains and dry wells | Clean, angular rock that moves water fast. |
| Decomposed Granite | Paths and patios that compact firm | Fine material that binds into a solid surface. |
| Crusher Run | Compacting base under everything | Dust and stone mix that locks together. |
| Road Base | Lanes and pads that carry trucks | Engineered for heavy loads and long life. |
These five projects come up often in Fayetteville. Here is what to order and how deep to place it.
| Project | What to order | Depth or note |

| French drain | Drain Rock | 6 to 12 inches deep, wrapped in fabric. |

Fayetteville gets about 47 inches of precipitation a year. That means drainage is critical. Without good drainage, gravel and rock can wash out. About 71 days a year bring at least a tenth of an inch of rain. That affects scheduling: you want a firm base before the truck arrives.
Temperatures drop below freezing on about 67 days a year. That narrows the work window for winter projects. It also causes minor ground movement that can shift a loose surface. Snowfall averages about 1 inch a year, so plowing damage to a loose surface is rare but possible. Without a hard freeze to lift the surface, drainage and washout are what decide how long the material lasts.
Soils mapped in the Fayetteville area are commonly well drained. As area guidance, that means you may need less base stone under the surface layer than in clay areas. The ground around Fayetteville takes water in at a moderate rate, so standard base depths are usually enough.
Tonnage depends on the area, depth and material type. The best way to get it right is to use the material calculators on the Gravel Monkey site. Enter your dimensions and the calculator gives a recommended tonnage.
Ordering is done online. You choose your material and tonnage, then pick a delivery date that is at least 3 business days out. At checkout you select a window: morning 7 am to 12 pm or afternoon 12 pm to 5 pm. A valid phone number is required. You receive an email confirmation, and a second email closer to the date with a photo of the loaded material. Delivery only happens after you approve that second email. You must be present at the site during the window. The site needs a road width of at least 12 feet for the truck. First-time customers can use code FIRSTTIMER50 for $50 off their order.

Gravel and rock do not always do the whole job by themselves. These materials often deliver in the same load.
Use the material calculators on the site for an accurate estimate. Because Fayetteville gets about 47 inches of rain a year, drainage planning can affect the depth you need, especially on slopes. The calculator accounts for material type and coverage.
Delivery cost is calculated by your ZIP code at checkout. With about 71 wet days a year in Fayetteville, scheduling during a dry stretch helps avoid delays that could affect timing. There are no local yard fees.
Gravel and rock are sold by the ton. A ton is approximately 2,000 pounds. The amount of area one ton covers depends on the depth and the specific material.
