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







A common mistake when buying gravel and rock is choosing by appearance ahead of function. The correction is to match each stone type to the drainage and compaction the job needs. A decorative river rock and a compacting base stone serve different roles on the same property.
Soils mapped in the Yukon area are commonly moderately well drained. That area guidance affects how much base stone sits under the surface layer in your project. Choosing by function first gives a result that holds up over time.
Gravel and rock for most jobs splits into two groups: base materials that compact firm under the surface and finish materials that stay decorative on top. Choosing from the right group prevents shifting, washout and rework later.
| Product | Use | Note |
|---|---|---|
| 3/8" Natural Pea Gravel | Play areas, patios | Rounded and smooth, stays in place on flat surfaces |
| River Rock | Beds, borders, dry creek beds | Natural stone for decorative cover that blends with landscaping |
| 2-4" River Rock | Larger decorative cover and erosion control | Bigger stone that resists movement on sloped ground |
| Drain Rock | French drains and dry wells | Clean angular stone that lets water pass through freely |
| Decomposed Granite | Paths and patios that compact firm | Compactable surface with a natural appearance when installed |
| Crusher Run | Compacting base under everything | Angular stone that locks tight when compacted, resists shifting |
| Road Base | Lanes and pads that carry trucks | Heavy-duty base designed for repeated vehicle traffic loads |
For each project below there is a budget option and a long-term option. The right choice depends on traffic, drainage and how permanent the installation needs to be.
| Project | What to order | Depth or note |
|---|---|---|
| Landscape beds | River Rock | 2 to 3 inches deep for a clean decorative cover |
| Dry creek bed | 2-4" River Rock | 3 to 4 inches deep, larger stone stays in place during flow |
| Erosion control on a slope | 2-4" River Rock | 4 to 6 inches deep, resists washout on steeper ground |
| Path that stays firm | Decomposed Granite | 3 to 4 inches deep over a compacted base layer |
| French drain | Drain Rock | 12 to 18 inches deep in trench, wrapped in filter fabric |
Yukon gets about 50 days a year with at least a tenth of an inch of rain. Scheduling gravel and rock delivery onto firm ground takes planning around those wet days. Wet weather can make a site too soft for a dump truck to reach the unloading spot.
The area gets about 35 inches of precipitation each year, and drainage and washout planning matter for any stone surface. Ground around Yukon takes water in very slowly, so most rain runs across the surface instead of soaking in. That soil behavior makes drainage and a deeper base more important here than in other areas.
About 73 days a year drop below 32 degrees Fahrenheit, which affects the work window and ground movement. Yukon gets about 4 inches of snowfall a year, and plowing can damage a loose stone surface. Winters here are cold enough to move an unsettled base, so compaction is worth the extra pass.
Estimating tonnage starts with the area you plan to cover and the depth you choose. Each product settles differently, so the volume needed varies by stone type. Use the material calculators on the Gravel Monkey site to get a tonnage estimate before you order.

Yes. The area gets about 35 inches of precipitation each year, so drainage and washout planning matter for any stone surface. Choosing a product that handles water well, like drain rock in a French drain or a compacted base under a path, prevents shifting over time.
Ground around Yukon takes water in very slowly, so most rain runs across the surface. That behavior makes washout a real concern for loose stone on slopes or flat areas without proper drainage. A deeper base and the right stone size reduce that risk.
A driveway or pad that carries trucks needs a compacted base layer 6 to 8 inches deep topped with 2 to 3 inches of surface stone. The exact depth depends on the soil conditions and the weight of the vehicles. Using the material calculators on the site helps you plan the total tonnage.
Yes. Angular stone with varied sizes, like crusher run and road base, locks together tightly when compacted. Rounded stone, like pea gravel, does not compact well and stays loose, which is fine for decorative use but not for load-bearing surfaces.
