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







The delivered price for gravel in Windsor breaks down to the rock type, the tonnage, and the distance the truck covers. Picking a product that matches the job keeps the total in check because you avoid paying for a heavier stone than the ground needs.
With about 51 inches of precipitation a year, drainage and washout drive what goes under the surface layer. That makes the base stone as important as the top rock in every Windsor project.
Choosing the wrong stone means a surface that shifts, washes out, or fails to compact. Each product below handles a specific condition and falls short in others. Match the rock to what the ground does on your site.
| Product | Best for | Note |
|---|---|---|
| 3/8" Natural Pea Gravel | Play areas, patios | Rounded and smooth, but it scatters on slopes and does not lock up. |
| River Rock | Beds, borders, dry creek beds | Decorative and stays put, but it will not compact for a walking surface. |
| 2-4" River Rock | Larger decorative cover and erosion control | Handles runoff well, but it is too large to walk on comfortably. |
| Drain Rock | French drains and dry wells | Washed clean so it drains freely, but it has no fines to lock together. |
| Decomposed Granite | Paths and patios that compact firm | Locks up hard when compacted, but it washes out on a slope without an edge. |
| Crusher Run | Compacting base under everything | The standard base material, but it is not decorative as a top layer. |
| Road Base | Lanes and pads that carry trucks | Built for vehicle loads, not for a finished walking surface. |
How you plan to use the surface decides which rock and what depth you need. This table matches common Windsor projects to the right material.
| Project | What to order | Depth or note |
|---|---|---|
| Landscape beds | River Rock or 2-4" River Rock | 2 to 3 inches for weed suppression |
| Dry creek bed | River Rock or 2-4" River Rock | 4 to 6 inches for flow capacity |
| Path that stays firm | Decomposed Granite | 3 to 4 inches compacted over a base |
| Erosion control on a slope | 2-4" River Rock | 4 to 6 inches, heavier stone stays |
| French drain | Drain Rock | Washed rock wrapped in fabric |
Windsor gets about 51 inches of rain a year, and around 79 days bring at least a tenth of an inch. That many wet days means scheduling the delivery onto firm ground matters. A truck dropping stone on soft turf can rut the yard before the material is even placed.
The mapped soils in the Windsor area are commonly very poorly drained. Where the ground holds water, you need more base stone under the surface layer to keep the top rock from sinking into mud. Without a hard freeze to lift the surface, drainage and washout are what decide how long the material lasts.
About 52 days a year drop below 32F, but ground freezing here is not a significant factor. That narrows the work window less than the wet ground does, and it means you do not need to dig past a frost line the way you would farther north.
Gravel and rock is measured in cubic yards and sold by the ton. The volume you need depends on the area and the depth you plan to place. Use the material calculators on this site to convert your square footage into tonnage before you check out.

Yes. Windsor gets about 51 inches of precipitation a year, and the mapped soils in the area are commonly very poorly drained. That combination means the base stone depth and the drainage layer matter more here than in places with sandier ground that lets water pass through quickly.
Windsor sees about 52 days a year below freezing, but ground freezing here is not a significant factor. You do not need to dig down past a frost line the way you would in a colder climate, so the base depth is driven by drainage and load, not by frost heave.
