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







New Philadelphia gets about 41 inches of precipitation a year, which means drainage and washout planning matter for any gravel or rock project. Picking the right size and type keeps your surface stable through wet weather and freeze-thaw cycles alike.
Gravel and rock are not the same thing: gravel is rounded and often smaller, while rock covers angular or larger pieces. Each has a job, and the right choice saves you rework next season.
The product you choose depends on how you plan to use the surface, the traffic it will carry, and the look you want. The table below lists the options Gravel Monkey delivers to New Philadelphia.
| Product | Best for | Note |
|---|---|---|
| 3/8" Natural Pea Gravel | Play areas, patios | Rounded and smooth, comfortable underfoot. |
| River Rock | Beds, borders, dry creek beds | Naturally polished, comes in several sizes. |
| 2-4" River Rock | Larger decorative cover and erosion control | Good for slopes where smaller rock washes away. |
| Drain Rock | French drains and dry wells | Clean, angular rock that moves water fast. |
| Decomposed Granite | Paths and patios that compact firm | Fines bind the surface into a hard, stable path. |
| Crusher Run | Compacting base under everything | Angular stone and dust that locks tight. |
| Road Base | Lanes and pads that carry trucks | Heavy-duty mix designed for vehicle weight. |
Match your project to the material that handles the load and drainage. The table below covers five frequent jobs.
| Project | What to order | Depth or note |
|---|---|---|
| French drain | Drain Rock | 12 to 18 inches around the pipe |
| Path that stays firm | Decomposed Granite | 3 to 4 inches after compaction |
| Erosion control on a slope | 2-4" River Rock | 4 to 6 inches, larger rock holds better |
| Landscape beds | River Rock | 2 to 3 inches deep |
| Dry creek bed | River Rock or 2-4" River Rock | Mix sizes for natural look |
Soils mapped in the New Philadelphia area are commonly well drained, so standard base depth under gravel or rock is usually enough. The ground around New Philadelphia is in hydrologic group B, which means it takes water in at a moderate rate, so a standard base layer handles most rainfall without washing out.
About 84 days a year bring at least a tenth of an inch of rain. That matters for scheduling: you want firm ground on delivery day so the truck can reach your spot without sinking. About 134 days a year drop below 32F, and the area sees about 26 inches of snowfall annually. Plowing loose gravel can push it into the yard, so plan edging or a compacted surface if the driveway gets a plow.
Freeze and thaw cycles work on loose material all winter, which is the argument for the deeper first lift. Ground freezing here is real but moderate, so a base layer that extends below the frost line is not needed unless the project carries heavy loads.
Volume is calculated by length times width times depth in feet, then converted to tons. You can use the material calculators on the Gravel Monkey site to enter your dimensions and get the tonnage. The calculator works for every product in the table above.

New Philadelphia sees about 84 days a year with at least a tenth of an inch of rain. Plan delivery for a stretch of dry weather so the ground is firm enough for the truck and for you to spread the material.
Yes. About 134 days a year drop below freezing and the area gets about 26 inches of snow annually. The truck can still deliver as long as your site is accessible and the ground is not too soft from thaw. Frozen ground actually handles heavy loads well.
Size depends on use. For paths and patios you walk on, 3/8 inch to 3/4 inch works. For driveways that carry vehicles, crusher run or road base in 1.5 inch to 2 inch sizes compacts best. Larger rock, like 2 to 4 inches, holds on slopes and in dry creek beds.
