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







Wellsboro gets about 39 inches of precipitation a year, so any gravel or rock surface needs a base that handles water and holds its shape. The right size and type of stone can prevent washouts and keep patios, paths, and beds looking good through wet seasons. Whether you need a smooth surface for a play area or a heavy base for a truck lane, the choices start with what you plan to build.
Gravel Monkey ships straight to your address by dump truck, and the selection here covers everything from decorative river rock to compacting crusher run. You order by the ton, choose a delivery window, and the material shows up ready to spread.
Most Wellsboro orders start with crusher run because it packs solid and makes a stable foundation. But each stone type has a job it does best. The table below lists what is available and where it works.
| Product | Best used for | Note |
|---|---|---|
| 3/8" Natural Pea Gravel | Play areas, patios | Rounded and smooth, comfortable underfoot |
| River Rock | Beds, borders, dry creek beds | Natural look with varied sizes |
| 2-4" River Rock | Larger decorative cover and erosion control | Stays in place on slopes |
| Drain Rock | French drains and dry wells | Clean, angular stone that moves water |
| Decomposed Granite | Paths and patios that compact firm | Dusty when dry, locks tight when wetted |
| Crusher Run | Compacting base under everything | Contains fines for a solid subgrade |
| Road Base | Lanes and pads that carry trucks | Heavy duty, handles load and drainage |
Each project type calls for a specific product and depth. The guide below matches common Wellsboro jobs with what to order and how deep to lay it.
| Project | What to order | Depth or note |
|---|---|---|
| Landscape beds | River Rock | 2 to 3 inches for weed suppression |
| Dry creek bed | 2-4" River Rock | 4 to 6 inches for flow channels |
| Erosion control on a slope | 2-4" River Rock | 6 to 8 inches on steeper grades |
| Path that stays firm | Decomposed Granite | 3 to 4 inches compacted, allow for base |
| French drain | Drain Rock | Fill trench around perforated pipe |
Hard freezes shape the calendar here, so base work is easier to get right from late spring through fall. Wellsboro sees about 160 days a year where temperatures drop below 32F, and ground freezing goes deep. That freeze-thaw cycle can lift a shallow base. A proper subgrade with crusher run at least 6 inches thick resists heaving and keeps the surface level.
Snowfall averages about 54 inches annually. Plowing can scrape loose gravel off a driveway or path. Using a compacted surface layer like decomposed granite or a large river rock that the plow blade rides over reduces damage.
Soils mapped in the Wellsboro area are commonly well drained, which means less base stone is needed under the surface layer. The ground around here soaks water up quickly and produces little runoff. That natural drainage helps, but it still pays to plan for wet days when scheduling delivery. About 87 days a year bring at least a tenth of an inch of rain, so picking a dry window keeps the truck from rutting your yard.
Coverage depends on depth and the stone's density. A ton of gravel or rock typically covers 80 to 120 square feet at a 2-inch depth. To get your number, measure the length and width of your area in feet, multiply to get square feet, then decide on depth. The material calculators on our site do that math for you. Just plug in your dimensions and the calculator tells you how many tons to order.
Ordering gravel and rock online is straightforward. You pick your product, enter a quantity by the ton, and choose a delivery window at checkout. Delivery is priced by your ZIP code, and loads range from one ton to 40 tons or more. First-time buyers use code FIRSTTIMER50 to get $50 off their order.
The delivery date must be at least 3 business days after you place the order. You pick a morning window (7 am to 12 pm) or an afternoon window (12 pm to 5 pm). A valid phone number is required so the driver can confirm the drop. You receive an email confirmation when you order, then a second email closer to the date with the scheduled window and a photo of the material being loaded. Delivery only goes ahead once you approve that second email. Someone must be present at the site during the window, or a redelivery fee can apply.

Gravel and rock often go in the ground with other bulk materials. Many Wellsboro customers combine a stone order with one of these.
Measure the length and width of your project area in feet, multiply for square feet, then multiply by the depth in feet to get cubic feet. Divide by 20 to get a rough tonnage for most crushed stone. For example, a 10x20 foot patio at 3 inches deep is about 50 cubic feet, or roughly 2.5 tons. Use our online material calculators for a precise number.
Delivery cost is calculated by your ZIP code at checkout. There is no flat rate because distance from the regional supplier and the truck size affect the price. First orders get $50 off with code FIRSTTIMER50. You can see the exact delivery charge before you place the order.
All gravel and rock at Gravel Monkey is sold by the ton. A ton is 2,000 pounds. You order a whole number of tons, and the dump truck delivers that weight. One ton of 3/8" pea gravel usually fills about 20 cubic feet, but density varies by stone type. The online calculators help you convert from volume to tons.
No. Someone must be present during the delivery window to direct the driver and accept the load. You can nominate a neighbor or contractor to be there. If nobody is available, the delivery cannot be completed and a missed delivery fee may apply. Orders without a valid phone number can also be delayed or rescheduled.
