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







The size of gravel and rock you choose matters for how well the material holds up through the year. Lisbon gets about 24 inches of precipitation a year, so drainage and washout planning need to be part of your project. A smaller stone like pea gravel drains differently than a larger river rock.
The wrong size can shift, rut, or wash away. Choosing the right product for your application saves rework later.
For most projects that need a compacting base, crusher run is the first product you reach for. It compacts into a solid layer that supports heavier materials on top. The other products here serve specific roles: some are decorative, some are for drainage, and some are for pathways or patios.
| Product | Use | Note |
|---|---|---|
| Crusher Run | Compacting base under everything | Locks together with fines for a firm, stable layer |
| 3/8" Natural Pea Gravel | Play areas, patios | Rounded and smooth, comfortable underfoot |
| River Rock | Beds, borders, dry creek beds | Decorative with a natural look and good drainage |
| 2-4" River Rock | Larger decorative cover and erosion control | Heavy enough to stay put on slopes |
| Drain Rock | French drains and dry wells | Clean, angular stone that moves water quickly |
| Decomposed Granite | Paths and patios that compact firm | Compacts into a solid, permeable surface |
| Road Base | Lanes and pads that carry trucks | Designed for heavy loads with a strong base structure |
Different projects call for different products. The table below matches common Lisbon applications to the right gravel or rock and a note on installation.
| Project | What to order | Depth or note |
|---|---|---|
| Dry creek bed | 2-4" River Rock | Fill the bed with a thick layer for visual depth |
| Erosion control on a slope | 2-4" River Rock | Apply a heavy cover that resists washing away |
| French drain | Drain Rock | Fill the trench completely for proper water flow |
| Landscape beds | River Rock | Spread a decorative layer over fabric |
| Path that stays firm | Decomposed Granite | Compact a 3 to 4 inch depth for a stable walkway |
Lisbon experiences about 178 days a year below freezing. That long freeze cycle means the ground heaves and settles. An unstable base cracks and shifts when the frost sets in or melts. Proper base depth prevents that movement.
The area also gets about 46 inches of snowfall. A loose surface like pea gravel can be plowed away or rutted by a snowplow. Using a compacted base and a more stable surface layer helps. Hard freezes shape the calendar here, so base work is easier to get right from late spring through fall.
The ground freezing here is deep and long. That affects how deep your base layer needs to be to resist heaving. Soils mapped in the Lisbon area are commonly moderately well drained. That means you may need more or less base stone under the surface layer, depending on your exact site.
Figuring out the right tonnage starts with the area and the depth you plan to use. Use our material calculators to enter your measurements and get an estimate in tons. There is no charge for the calculation.
Ordering is simple: choose your product and enter the tonnage online. Delivery is priced by ZIP code at checkout, and loads run from one ton to over 40 tons. If your order qualifies, delivery is free. Use code FIRSTTIMER50 at checkout to save $50 on your first order.
You pick a delivery window, morning or afternoon, and someone must be at the site to receive the truck. You get an email confirmation when the order is placed, then a second email with the scheduled window and a photo of the material being loaded. The delivery only goes ahead once you approve that second email. Learn more about how Gravel Monkey works on the About Gravel Monkey page. Check customer reviews to see what others say.

For the same job, you often need more than just gravel and rock. These materials work well alongside your order.
The amount depends on the project area and depth. You will need to calculate the cubic yards and convert to tons using a material calculator. Lisbon's deep frost line means you need a base deep enough to resist heaving, which can add to the tonnage.
Delivery cost is calculated by ZIP code at checkout. The soil in the Lisbon area takes water in at a moderate rate, so standard base depth is usually enough, which can affect the total material cost.
Gravel and rock are sold by the ton, not by the cubic yard. The weight varies by material, so a given volume of pea gravel weights differently than the same volume of river rock. Check the product page for the specific density.
No. Someone must be present at the site during the delivery window. If no one is there, the delivery cannot be completed and a redelivery fee may apply. You can nominate a neighbor or contractor to be on site.
