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







Contractors order gravel and rock by the truckload for driveways and pads. Homeowners buy it in smaller lots for paths, patios, and beds. Both want the same thing: the right material, delivered to the address, without a visit to a yard.
Mc Arthur gets about 43 inches of precipitation a year, so drainage planning matters for any gravel or rock surface. That makes base material a key part of every order.
Gravel and rock come in sizes from a pea to a fist. The table below lists what we sell, what each is used for, and a note on where it fits best.
| Product | Use | Note |
|---|---|---|
| 3/8" Natural Pea Gravel | Play areas, patios | Rounded and smooth, comfortable underfoot. |
| River Rock | Beds, borders, dry creek beds | Natural look that holds its place in landscaping. |
| 2-4" River Rock | Decorative cover, erosion control | Larger pieces that stay put on slopes. |
| Drain Rock | French drains and dry wells | Clean, angular stone that moves water fast. |
| Decomposed Granite | Paths and patios | Compacts firm for a stable, natural surface. |
| Crusher Run | Compacting base under everything | Angular rock that locks together, great for driveways. |
| Road Base | Lanes and pads that carry trucks | Heavy-duty mix designed for traffic. |
Each project needs a specific product and depth. This table matches five typical jobs to the right gravel or rock.
| Project | What to order | Depth or note |
|---|---|---|
| French drain | Drain Rock | 12 to 18 inches around the pipe |
| Dry creek bed | River Rock | 4 to 6 inches deep, varying size |
| Erosion control on a slope | 2-4" River Rock | 6 to 8 inches, keyed into the soil |
| Path that stays firm | Decomposed Granite | 3 to 4 inches compacted |
| Landscape beds | 3/8" Natural Pea Gravel | 2 to 3 inches for a clean finish |
Mc Arthur sits in Vinton County, where the terrain mixes rural lanes with new building lots. About 84 days a year bring at least a tenth of an inch of rain, so scheduling a delivery onto firm ground is part of the plan. Around 124 days a year drop below freezing, which means the work window is shorter than in warmer places and the ground can shift.
Snowfall averages about 18 inches a year. That can lead to plowing damage on a loose gravel surface. Winters here are cold enough to move an unsettled base, so compaction is worth the extra pass. Frost lines are moderate, but base layers still need to be deep enough to stay stable under freeze-thaw cycles.
Soils mapped in the Mc Arthur area are commonly moderately well drained. That affects how much base stone goes under the surface layer. The ground around Mc Arthur is in hydrologic group C, which means it takes water in slowly and sheds a fair amount across the surface. A deeper drainage layer earns its place under gravel and rock that needs to stay dry underneath.
Figuring out tonnage depends on the area and depth you plan to cover. Use our material calculators to enter your dimensions and get a tonnage estimate. The calculator handles square and circular areas and adjusts for different material densities.
Buying gravel and rock online is straightforward. You order by the ton, delivery is priced by your ZIP code at checkout, and a dump truck brings the load to your address. Loads range from 1 to over 40 tons, and free delivery applies on qualifying orders. Use code FIRSTTIMER50 for $50 off your first order.
Choose a delivery window at checkout: morning from 7 am to 12 pm or afternoon from 12 pm to 5 pm. The delivery date needs to be at least 3 business days after the order date. You will receive an email confirmation, then a second email closer to the day with the scheduled window and a photo of the load being loaded. Delivery goes ahead only once you approve that second email. Someone must be available at the site during the window.
The site needs a road width of at least 12 feet for the truck. If access is restricted, the crew unloads as close as safety allows. Read more on our delivery information page. For questions about the company, see About Gravel Monkey and check customer reviews.
Gravel and rock work well with other bulk materials for a complete job. Here are options available for delivery in Mc Arthur.
Yes, we deliver to Mc Arthur and the surrounding area. Mc Arthur receives about 43 inches of precipitation annually, so we schedule deliveries to drier periods to avoid soft ground. Your ZIP code is used at checkout to price the delivery.
Delivery cost is calculated by your ZIP code and the tonnage you order. The county has about 84 wet days a year, which can affect scheduling but not the per-ton rate. Checkout shows the total before you confirm.
Depth depends on the use. For a base under a driveway, 4 to 6 inches of crusher run is common. For decorative gravel over weed fabric, 2 to 3 inches is typical. The material calculators on our site can help you convert depth into tonnage.
The truck needs a road width of at least 12 feet. The surface should be firm enough to support a heavy dump truck. If the path is narrow or soft, the crew unloads as close as they safely can to the spot you mark.
