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







Gravel and rock serve different jobs in Bonanza. You might need a smooth path, a dry drainage trench, or a stable base for a driveway. Each product has a specific strength.
Bonanza gets about 16 inches of precipitation a year. That means washout risk is lower than in wetter areas, but proper base material still matters. Choose crusher run or road base under any loose surface.
No single gravel works for every task. Here is what to avoid with each product.
| Product | Best for | Note |
|---|---|---|
| 3/8" Natural Pea Gravel | Play areas, patios | Rounded and smooth, not for driveways because it shifts under load. |
| River Rock | Beds, borders, dry creek beds | Does not compact, so avoid where you need a firm walking surface. |
| 2-4" River Rock | Larger decorative cover, erosion control | Too big for pathways; it makes an uneven walking surface. |
| Drain Rock | French drains, dry wells | Not suitable for decorative use because it is angular and dusty. |
| Decomposed Granite | Paths and patios that compact firm | Does not drain well enough for wet areas like a French drain trench. |
| Crusher Run | Compacting base under everything | Not a top layer because it leaves a rough, dusty surface. |
| Road Base | Lanes and pads that carry trucks | Overkill for a garden path; use decomposed granite instead. |
Match your project to the right gravel and rock. These recommendations are based on common Bonanza jobs.
| Project | What to order | Depth or note |
|---|---|---|
| Landscape beds | River Rock | 2 to 3 inches deep for weed suppression without smothering plants. |
| Dry creek bed | 2-4" River Rock | 4 to 6 inches deep to mimic a natural streambed. |
| French drain | Drain Rock | Fill the trench; wrap in filter fabric to keep soil out. |
| Path that stays firm | Decomposed Granite | 3 to 4 inches compacted with a plate tamper. |
| Erosion control on a slope | 2-4" River Rock | 4 to 6 inches thick to slow water flow. |
Soils mapped in the Bonanza area are commonly excessively drained. That means water moves through them fast, so you need less base stone under the surface layer. The ground around Bonanza is in hydrologic group A, which soaks water up quickly and produces little runoff. This further reduces the need for extra drainage stone.
Bonanza gets about 16 inches of precipitation a year, with about 53 days bringing at least a tenth of an inch. Scheduling a delivery onto firm ground matters, but the low total rainfall means washout is less of a risk than in wetter climates.
About 184 days a year drop below 32F, and the area gets about 52 inches of snow annually. Ground freezing here is real but moderate. That affects how deep your base layer needs to be. Freeze and thaw cycles work on loose material all winter, which is the argument for the deeper first lift.
To figure out how many tons of gravel or rock your project requires, measure the area and decide on the depth. Use the material calculators to convert cubic feet into tons quickly. Enter your dimensions and the calculator gives you the total.

Choose your gravel size based on the job. For a firm path, use decomposed granite. For drainage, use drain rock. For decoration, river rock in 1 to 4 inches works well. Ask if you are unsure.
