Buy Gravel & Rock in Sturgis, South Dakota

The delivered cost of gravel and rock depends on two things: how many tons you need and how far the truck has to travel. In Sturgis, about 166 days a year drop below 32 degrees Fahrenheit, which narrows the window for delivery onto firm ground. Planning your order around that schedule helps you avoid delays.

Gravel Monkey sells by the ton, delivers by dump truck, and prices the delivery by ZIP code at checkout. First orders get $50 off with the code FIRSTTIMER50.

Matching the Right Material to Your Project in Sturgis

Five common projects in Sturgis and the gravel or rock that fits best.

How Sturgis Weather Affects Your Gravel and Rock Job

Sturgis gets about 25 inches of precipitation a year. Even if that sounds low, the ground around here is in hydrologic group C, which means it takes water in slowly and sheds a fair amount across the surface. A deeper drainage layer earns its place under any surfacing material. About 53 days a year bring at least a tenth of an inch of rain, so scheduling your delivery onto firm ground keeps the truck from rutting your yard.

Snowfall averages about 56 inches a year. Plowing that snow can damage a loose surface like pea gravel or river rock. Ground that freezes deep moves as it thaws, which is why the base layer matters more here than the top layer. Frost reaches deep and stays long, so the base needs to carry the load through the spring thaw. Meade County permitted about 111 single-family homes in 2024, and each of those sites will face the same freeze-thaw cycle.

Build a strong base with Crusher Run or Road Base, and the top layer will last longer with less maintenance.

How Much Gravel or Rock Do You Need for Your Sturgis Project

Area times depth gives you cubic feet, and cubic feet divided by 27 gives you cubic yards. One ton of most gravel and rock covers about 100 square feet at 2 inches deep, but that number shifts with material density. Use our material calculators to enter your project dimensions and get a tonnage estimate. No guessing needed.

Ordering from Gravel Monkey in Sturgis

Ordering is straightforward. Choose your product and quantity online, enter your Sturgis ZIP code for the delivery price, and pick a delivery date at least 3 business days out. You select a window: morning (7 am to 12 pm) or afternoon (12 pm to 5 pm). A valid phone number is required to confirm the delivery. You get an email confirmation, 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.

You or someone you nominate must be at the site during the window. The truck needs a road width of at least 12 feet. If access is restricted, the crew unloads as close to the requested spot as they safely can. If the delivery cannot be completed, a missed delivery fee can apply and the order is not refunded. Cancellations more than 24 hours after ordering carry a 25 percent processing fee; orders cancelled within 48 hours of scheduled delivery are not refundable. Once you approve that second email, the order cannot be cancelled. Inspect the delivery within 48 hours and photograph anything wrong. Gravel Monkey will correct a wrong material, wrong location, or quality outside industry norms. It does not cover site access problems, weather after delivery, or natural variation in color and shape. The hauler takes care, but you are responsible for confirming the property can take a heavy truck.

Frequently Asked Questions About Gravel and Rock in Sturgis

Do winter conditions in Sturgis affect delivery?

Yes. With about 166 days a year below 32 degrees Fahrenheit, frozen ground and snow can delay unloading. The truck needs firm, accessible ground. Plowing that snow can also damage a loose top layer. Schedule delivery during the warmer months or after the ground has settled.

Is Sturgis a wet enough area to worry about washout?

Sturgis gets about 25 inches of precipitation a year. The ground around here takes water in slowly and sheds a fair amount across the surface. A deeper drainage layer under your gravel or rock reduces the chance of washout on slopes and near foundations.

Do I need to be home when the truck arrives?

Yes. You or someone you nominate must be at the site during the delivery window. If nobody is there, the delivery cannot be completed, and a missed delivery fee may apply. The order is not refunded.

Is there a discount on a first order?

Yes. Use the code FIRSTTIMER50 to get $50 off your first order from Gravel Monkey. The code applies at checkout. No other discounts or offers are advertised on this page.
