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







Greensboro gets about 46 inches of precipitation a year. That means drainage and washout planning matter when you choose gravel and rock for a project. Selecting the right material can keep surfaces stable and prevent erosion.
Whether you are building a path, a patio, or a base for a driveway, the right gravel keeps water moving where you want it. Gravel Monkey delivers bulk gravel and rock by the ton to Greensboro addresses. You compare sizes and get the delivered price at checkout before you commit.
Crusher Run is the most ordered gravel in Greensboro because it compacts into a firm, stable base. For other jobs, choose from these alternatives.
| Product | Use | Note |
|---|---|---|
| 3/8" Natural Pea Gravel | play areas, patios | Rounded and smooth, comfortable underfoot |
| River Rock | beds, borders, dry creek beds | Various sizes for natural looks |
| 2-4" River Rock | larger decorative cover and erosion control | Holds in place on slopes |
| Drain Rock | French drains and dry wells | Clean, angular, moves water |
| Decomposed Granite | paths and patios that compact firm | Dusty when installed, solid after compaction |
| Crusher Run | compacting base under everything | Contains fines for a tight surface |
| Road Base | lanes and pads that carry trucks | Engineered for load bearing |
These five projects are typical in Greensboro yards. Each calls for a specific gravel and a minimum depth.
| Project | What to order | Depth or note |
|---|---|---|
| Path that stays firm | Decomposed Granite | 3 to 4 inches, compacted |
| Landscape beds | 3/8" Natural Pea Gravel or River Rock | 2 to 3 inches |
| Dry creek bed | 2-4" River Rock | 4 to 6 inches |
| French drain | Drain Rock | 6 inches around pipe |
| Erosion control on a slope | 2-4" River Rock or Road Base | 4 to 6 inches |
Greensboro sees about 68 days each year with temperatures below 32F. That freeze cycle can shift an unstable base. Choosing gravel that compacts firmly, like Crusher Run or Road Base, reduces movement.
About 78 days a year bring measurable rain, and the ground around Greensboro takes water in slowly and sheds a fair amount across the surface. That means a deeper drainage layer is worth the investment. For projects that drain water, Drain Rock or open-graded river rock works best.
Snowfall averages about 5 inches a year. Plowing a loose gravel surface can scatter material, so a compacted top layer helps. Because frost is not a significant factor here, the work window is driven by rain and by how wet the ground is.
The amount of gravel you need depends on the area and depth of the project. Use our material calculators to convert square footage into tons for any size job. Enter your dimensions and see the tonnage required.
