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







The common mistake with gravel and rock is picking a pretty top layer without thinking about what goes underneath it. A loose surface on poor base shifts, ruts and washes out fast when Seminole gets about 40 inches of precipitation a year, so drainage and washout planning should drive your buying decision from the start.
Getting the right product for each layer is simpler than it seems. You pick a compacting base material, then a clean surface material on top, and the result stays put for years.
Products fall into two groups: base materials that lock together under weight and finish materials that drain freely and stay clean. The table below lists every option Gravel Monkey delivers in the Seminole area.
| Product | Best for | Note |
|---|---|---|
| 3/8" Natural Pea Gravel | Play areas, patios | Rounded and smooth underfoot, a classic finish. |
| River Rock | Beds, borders, dry creek beds | Various sizes for natural-looking decorative cover. |
| 2-4" River Rock | Larger decorative cover and erosion control | Heavier pieces stay put on moderate slopes. |
| Drain Rock | French drains and dry wells | Clean, angular rock moves water fast underground. |
| Decomposed Granite | Paths and patios that compact firm | Loose at first, then sets like a paved surface. |
| Crusher Run | Compacting base under everything | Fines and stone lock together with no voids. |
| Road Base | Lanes and pads that carry trucks | Engineered for heavy load-bearing and durability. |
Budget options get the job done, but long-term choices save rework. Below are five common projects and the product pairings that hold up in this climate.
| Project | What to order | Depth or note |
|---|---|---|
| Dry creek bed | River Rock or 2-4" River Rock | 4 to 6 inches of clean rock over landscape fabric. |
| Erosion control on a slope | 2-4" River Rock | 6 inches minimum; steeper slopes may need geotextile. |
| French drain | Drain Rock | 12 inches around the perforated pipe for fast flow. |
| Path that stays firm | Decomposed Granite over Crusher Run base | Base 4 inches, surface 2 inches, compact each layer. |
| Landscape beds | River Rock or 3/8" Natural Pea Gravel | 2 to 3 inches over weed fabric. |
About 56 days a year in Seminole bring at least a tenth of an inch of rain, so scheduling the delivery onto firm ground is practical. Wet soil under your material can settle unevenly, and a delivery day that follows a dry stretch gives the base a better start.
Freezing days number about 79 a year below 32 degrees Fahrenheit. That amount of freeze-thaw can shift an un-compacted base enough to make a path wavy. Winters here are cold enough to move an unsettled base, so compaction is worth the extra pass. The ground freezing is real but moderate, so the base layer needs enough depth to resist frost heave.
The ground around Seminole takes water in slowly and sheds a fair amount across the surface. That behavior means a deeper drainage layer earns its place under any gravel that will see foot or vehicle traffic.
Coverage depends on the depth you choose and the area you cover. Use the material calculators on the Gravel Monkey site to enter your length, width and depth, and it returns the tons required for your project.

Gravel and rock often need companion products for a complete job. These materials complement what you order.
Plan around the roughly 56 days that bring at least a tenth of an inch of rain. Scheduling delivery after a dry stretch gives the ground a firmer base, which reduces settling later.
With about 79 days below freezing each year, the ground here undergoes enough freeze-thaw cycles to move an un-compacted base. Order in early fall or late spring to avoid working in frozen conditions, and always compact thoroughly.
Yes. Gravel Monkey delivers anywhere in the area as long as the driveway or road is at least 12 feet wide and a truck can access the property safely. The site access rules apply equally inside and outside city limits.
Size depends on the job. Small stones like 3/8" pea gravel work for paths and play areas, while 2 to 4 inch river rock controls erosion on slopes. Base layers need angular rock like crusher run that locks together under weight.
