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







Gravel and rock are not a single material. The right choice for a path is wrong for a French drain. Soils mapped in the Antlers area are commonly well drained, which means the base layer under a surface can often be thinner than in poorly drained areas. Matching the stone to the job saves money and prevents rework.
Whether you need a compacting base for a driveway or rounded rock for a dry creek bed, the options are distinct. This page covers the products available and how Antlers conditions affect your choices.
Not every gravel is right for every use. The table below shows what each product is not suited for, alongside its best application.
| Product | Best For | Note |
|---|---|---|
| 3/8" Natural Pea Gravel | Play areas, patios | Smooth surface makes it a poor choice for driveways; use for decorative areas. |
| River Rock | Beds, borders, dry creek beds | Too large and round for a compacted base; use for landscape features. |
| 2-4" River Rock | Large decorative cover, erosion control | Not suitable for pathways; use for heavy erosion control or large borders. |
| Drain Rock | French drains, dry wells | Not a surface material; designed for underground water management. |
| Decomposed Granite | Paths, patios that compact firm | Will not stand up to heavy vehicle traffic; use for foot paths. |
| Crusher Run | Compacting base under everything | Not a finished surface; use as a compacting base layer. |
| Road Base | Lanes, pads that carry trucks | Overkill for simple garden beds; use for roads and heavy-duty pads. |
The table below shows which product works for common Antlers projects.
| Project | What to Order | Note |
|---|---|---|
| Dry creek bed | River Rock | Large rocks create natural channel. |
| Landscape beds | 3/8" Natural Pea Gravel | Smooth surface suits beds. |
| French drain | Drain Rock | Clean angular rock for drainage. |
| Erosion control on a slope | 2-4" River Rock | Heavy rock resists washout. |
| Path that stays firm | Decomposed Granite | Compacts firm for foot traffic. |
Antlers gets about 48 inches of precipitation a year. That means drainage and washout planning matters when you install gravel or rock on a slope or near a foundation. About 65 days a year bring at least a tenth of an inch of rain, so scheduling the delivery onto firm ground is important.
Freezing temperatures occur on about 71 days a year, which shortens the work window and causes ground movement that can heave a loose surface. Freeze and thaw cycles work on loose material all winter, which is the argument for the deeper first lift. Snowfall is light at about 2 inches a year, but plowing can damage a loose surface if the base is not firm.
Ground freezing here is real but moderate, which affects how deep the base layer needs to be. Soils mapped in the Antlers area are commonly well drained, and the ground around Antlers is in hydrologic group B, meaning it takes water in at a moderate rate. Standard base depth is usually enough for most projects.
