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







Whether you are building a path that stays firm through a wet season or lining a dry creek bed in a Narragansett yard, the right gravel and rock start with the material underneath. Crusher Run compacts into a solid base, and River Rock holds its place as a decorative top layer.
Gravel Monkey delivers these materials by the ton across Rhode Island. You order online, choose a delivery window, and a dump truck brings the load to your address. The price shows at checkout based on your ZIP code.
Base materials like Crusher Run and Road Base give a stable foundation. Finish materials like 3/8" Natural Pea Gravel and River Rock define the look of the project. Each product serves a specific purpose.
| Product | Best for | Note |
|---|---|---|
| 3/8" Natural Pea Gravel | play areas, patios | Rounded and smooth underfoot; stays put in place. |
| River Rock | beds, borders, dry creek beds | Natural stones that resist washout on slopes. |
| 2-4" River Rock | larger decorative cover and erosion control | Heavy enough to hold soil on a 3:1 bank. |
| Drain Rock | French drains and dry wells | Clear stone that lets water move through fast. |
| Decomposed Granite | paths and patios that compact firm | Tightens into a hard surface with a stabilizer. |
| Crusher Run | compacting base under everything | Angular stone that locks together under weight. |
| Road Base | lanes and pads that carry trucks | Designed for driveways and parking areas. |
The right choice often comes down to budget versus long-term performance. A compacted base with Crusher Run costs more in material but reduces future settling. A single layer of 3/8" Pea Gravel costs less initially but may wash out on a slope.
| Project | What to order | Depth or note |
|---|---|---|
| Erosion control on a slope | 2-4" River Rock | 4 to 6 inches; use fabric underneath |
| Path that stays firm | Decomposed Granite | 2 to 3 inches compacted |
| Dry creek bed | River Rock | 3 to 4 inches over a drain-rock base |
| French drain | Drain Rock | Fill trench 12 to 18 inches deep |
| Landscape beds | 3/8" Natural Pea Gravel | 2 inches over weed fabric |
Annual rainfall across the cities we deliver to in Rhode Island runs from about 49 to 52 inches. That moisture moves through the soil and can wash out an unconfined gravel layer if the base is not compacted. Hydrologic groups B and A are the most common across the served cities, meaning water drains quickly through the soil. A deeper base of Crusher Run or Road Base helps stabilise the ground before the top layer goes on.
Freezing days range from about 105 to 132 days a year below 32F, depending on where in the state. This freeze-thaw cycle lifts an un-anchored stone and leaves it loose in spring. Winters here are cold enough to move an unsettled base, so compaction is worth the extra pass. Most of the state sits in the moderate band for ground freezing, which means a base depth of 6 to 8 inches of compacted material is sensible for driveways and paths.
Gravel Monkey delivers to addresses across Rhode Island, not only the cities listed here. You can order from any of these locations:
Gravel and rock are sold by the ton, and the volume a ton covers depends on the material size and the depth you spread. For a compacted base, figure roughly 1 ton per 100 square feet at 2 inches deep. For decorative rock, the same ton covers more area because the layer is thinner. Use our material calculators to convert your project dimensions into tonnage before you place an order.
You order online by the ton, from 1 ton up to 40+ tons, and the delivery price is calculated by your ZIP code at checkout. A dump truck brings the load to your address on the day you choose, which must be at least 3 business days after the order date. You pick a delivery window: morning, 7 am to 12 pm, or afternoon, 12 pm to 5 pm.
You get an email confirmation when the order is placed and a second email closer to the date with the scheduled window and a photo of the material being loaded. The delivery only goes ahead once you approve that second email. Someone must be at the site during the window to receive the load. Free delivery applies on qualifying orders.
