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







If you are building a path that stays firm, decomposed granite compacts into a solid surface. For a dry creek bed, river rock resists washing out. Mounds gets about 44 inches of precipitation a year, so drainage plans matter for any gravel or rock project.
Gravel Monkey delivers bulk gravel and rock to your address by the ton. You pick the material, pick the delivery window, and the dump truck brings it to your site.
Most jobs split between a compacting base layer and a decorative finish layer. The table below lists every product available for delivery in Mounds.

About 77 days a year drop below freezing in Mounds. That freeze-thaw cycle can shift an uncompacted base, making compaction a critical step. Winters here are cold enough to move an unsettled base, so compaction is worth the extra pass. The area gets roughly 7 inches of snowfall a year, and plowing can scatter loose gravel if the surface is not compacted.
Ground freezing in Mounds is real but moderate. A deeper base layer under the surface helps keep the finished material in place. Soils mapped in the area are commonly somewhat poorly drained, which means more base stone may be needed under the surface layer to keep water from softening the ground. The ground around Mounds is in dual hydrologic group C/D: where it is drained it takes water in slowly and sheds a fair amount across the surface, and where it is not drained it takes water in very slowly, so most rain runs across the surface. Drainage and a deeper base matter more here than elsewhere.
To find the right tonnage, measure the length and width of the area and decide on a depth. Use Gravel Monkey's material calculators to convert those dimensions into tons for the specific product you want.

Gravel and rock often pair with other bulk materials. These products are available for delivery in Mounds.
Yes. Mounds gets about 44 inches of precipitation a year. That much rain means drainage and washout planning should be part of your project. The soil water behavior in the area depends on drainage: where it is drained, water moves slowly into the ground, and where it is not drained, most rain runs across the surface. A deeper drainage layer helps in either case.
Yes. About 77 days a year drop below freezing. That freeze-thaw cycle can lift and shift an uncompacted base. Choosing a compactable base material such as crusher run and taking the time to compact it well reduces movement during the cold months.
Order at least 3 business days before you need the material. At checkout you choose a delivery window: morning, 7 am to 12 pm, or afternoon, 12 pm to 5 pm. The delivery crew will confirm the date and window closer to the day.
No. You or someone you nominate must be at the site during the delivery window. If nobody is there when the truck arrives, a missed delivery or redelivery fee can apply. The order is not refunded in that case.
