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







Every ton of gravel or rock carries a delivered price that changes with product choice, tonnage, and your ZIP code. Gravel Monkey brings bulk loads straight to your Ohio address, from 1 to 40-plus tons in one dump-truck trip.
You order by the ton online, pick a delivery date at least 3 business days out, and choose a morning or afternoon window. No yard to visit, no pickup required.
Some products work best under foot traffic, others under a truck. Three-eighths-inch natural pea gravel is not suitable for driveways, and river rock does not compact like crushed stone. Match the material to the load.
| Product | Best for | Note |
|---|---|---|
| 3/8" Natural Pea Gravel | Play areas, patios | Rounded and smooth; not for heavy traffic or slopes. |
| River Rock | Beds, borders, dry creek beds | Washes clean; does not compact; weed barrier recommended. |
| 2-4" River Rock | Larger decorative cover, erosion control | Holds on moderate slopes; can be heavy to move by hand. |
| Drain Rock | French drains, dry wells | Clean, angular, sized to pass water without clogging. |
| Decomposed Granite | Paths, patios that compact firm | Compacts to a hard, natural surface; needs edge restraint. |
| Crusher Run | Compacting base under everything | Stone dust and angular rock lock together under load. |
| Road Base | Lanes, pads that carry trucks | Designed for heavy loads; requires proper subgrade prep. |
For each project type, here is the recommended material and depth.
| Project | What to order | Depth or note |
|---|---|---|
| Landscape beds | River Rock or 2-4" River Rock | 2 to 3 inches; edge to keep rock out of lawn. |
| Dry creek bed | River Rock | 3 to 4 inches; shape with larger rocks along sides. |
| Path that stays firm | Decomposed Granite | 2 to 3 inches compacted; 4-inch base of crusher run if soil is soft. |
| French drain | Drain Rock | 8 to 12 inches around perforated pipe; wrap in filter fabric. |
| Erosion control on a slope | 2-4" River Rock | 4 to 6 inches; use graded rock to interlock. |
Soil in most of the cities we serve falls into hydrologic groups C and C/D, which drain slowly. That means base depth is important for any load-bearing application: crusher run or road base should be thicker on clay soils. Annual rainfall across the cities we deliver to in Ohio runs from about 39 to 45 inches, so drainage matters for any surface.
Freeze and thaw cycles work on loose material all winter, which is the argument for the deeper first lift. Across the state you get roughly 111 to 130 days a year below 32 degrees Fahrenheit. Frost reaches moderate depth, so base layers need to sit below the frost line for structures but for driveways and paths a compacted gravel base usually handles the movement.
Gravel Monkey delivers to addresses across Ohio, not only the cities listed here. You can check delivery to your exact address at checkout.
Tonnage depends on depth and area. A cubic yard of gravel weighs roughly 1.4 tons, but each product varies slightly. Enter your project measurements into our material calculators to get an estimate, then order by the ton at checkout.
For gravel and rock orders, you choose the product, enter your ZIP for a delivered price, and schedule a delivery window at least 3 business days out.

Yes, Ohio has about 111 to 130 freezing days a year, and many counties impose spring road restrictions when frost leaves the ground. These can limit load weights or reroute trucks, which may shift your delivery window. Gravel Monkey will update you on any delay.
Rainfall across the cities we serve runs from 39 to 45 inches a year, so choose well-draining material like drain rock for wet spots. Soil drains slowly in most of the state, meaning a deeper base of crusher run or road base is wise for driveways and pads. Areas with more freeze-thaw cycles benefit from a thicker first lift of compacted gravel.

Gravel and rock are sold by the ton, not by the cubic yard. Your total is based on the weight of the product loaded into the dump truck. The material calculators on our site help you convert project volume to estimated tonnage.
The delivered price comes from your product choice, tonnage, and ZIP code. Start at the Ohio hub page to see your options and place an order. A dump truck will bring the load to your address on the day you choose.
