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







Newport gets about 72 inches of precipitation a year, so drainage and washout planning matter for any gravel project. The size you choose changes how the material handles water, traffic, and compaction.
Crusher Run is the most-ordered gravel for base work in Newport, but the right size depends on the surface you are building. The table below covers every size we stock and what each one does best.
Crusher Run compacts into a firm foundation and is the first choice under driveways, patios, and paths. The other products serve specific decorative and functional roles.
| Product | Best for | Note |
|---|---|---|
| 3/8" Natural Pea Gravel | play areas, patios | Rounded and smooth, comfortable underfoot. |
| River Rock | beds, borders, dry creek beds | Natural look, varies by size selected. |
| 2-4" River Rock | larger decorative cover and erosion control | Heavier stones stay put on slopes. |
| Drain Rock | French drains and dry wells | Clean, angular, allows water to pass. |
| Decomposed Granite | paths and patios that compact firm | Dusty at first, then hardens. |
| Crusher Run | compacting base under everything | Crushed stone with fines for stability. |
| Road Base | lanes and pads that carry trucks | Heavier load-bearing than crusher run. |
Match your project to the product and depth shown below. All depths assume a compacted base.
| Project | What to order | Depth or note |
|---|---|---|
| Path that stays firm | Decomposed Granite | 3 to 4 inches after compaction |
| Erosion control on a slope | 2-4" River Rock | 4 to 6 inches, overlapping stones |
| Dry creek bed | River Rock | 2 to 3 inches deep over landscape fabric |
| French drain | Drain Rock | 2 to 3 inches above the pipe surround |
| Landscape beds | 3/8" Natural Pea Gravel or River Rock | 1.5 to 2 inches deep |
About 123 days a year bring at least a tenth of an inch of rain, so scheduling delivery onto firm ground is important. A muddy access area can delay the dump truck and make compaction harder.
Approximately 13 days a year drop below 32 degrees Fahrenheit, which narrows the work window and causes ground movement. Freeze and thaw cycles work on loose material all winter, which is the argument for the deeper first lift. Snowfall averages about 1 inch per year; plowing damage to a loose surface is rare but possible.
Ground freezing here is real but moderate. That affects how deep the base layer needs to be to avoid frost heave. A 6-inch base of crusher run or road base is typical for driveways and parking areas.
Estimate tonnage by calculating the volume in cubic feet and dividing by the material's density. For a quick estimate, use our material calculators; enter your project dimensions and the product you want to get a tonnage recommendation.
Order online by the ton, and the delivered price is calculated by your ZIP at checkout. A dump truck delivers 1 to 40-plus tons straight to your address. Free delivery applies on qualifying orders, and new customers can use code FIRSTTIMER50 for $50 off their first order.
You choose a delivery window at checkout: morning (7 am to 12 pm) or afternoon (12 pm to 5 pm). The delivery date must be at least 3 business days after the order date. You get an email confirmation, then a second email closer to the date with the window and a photo of the loaded material. Delivery only proceeds after you approve that second email.
You or someone you nominate must be at the site during the window. The site needs a road width of at least 12 feet. If access is restricted, the crew unloads as close as safely possible. For full details, see our delivery information page. Learn more about how we work on our About Gravel Monkey page, and read customer reviews.
Many buyers add one of these materials to the same order. Each pairs with gravel and rock.
The tonnage depends on the area and depth. In Newport, where about 13 days a year drop below freezing, a deeper base layer of 6 inches or more is recommended for driveways to resist frost heave, which increases the tonnage. Use our calculator to get a precise number for your dimensions and product.
Delivery cost is calculated by your ZIP code at checkout. With about 123 wet days a year, scheduling delivery on a dry day helps avoid access problems. The price covers the material and dump-truck delivery to your address.
Order at least 3 business days before you need the material. The delivery date is chosen at checkout and must be at least 3 business days after the order date. If you need a specific day, order earlier to get your preferred window.
Size determines use. Small gravel like 3/8" pea gravel is for walking surfaces and play areas. Larger river rock is for decoration and erosion control. Crusher run and road base are compacting base materials. Drain rock is clean crushed stone for water flow. Each product's detail page has more information.
