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







Gravel and rock come in a range of sizes, and the size you choose changes how the material performs. A small, rounded stone packs well for patios, while larger rock holds its place on a slope.
Canyon gets about 18 inches of precipitation a year, so drainage planning matters. The right product for the job handles water and stays in place longer.
The most-ordered gravel in Canyon is 3/8" Natural Pea Gravel for its smooth, rounded finish. The table below lists all the sizes we stock, what each one is for, and a key characteristic.
| Product | Best for | Note |
|---|---|---|
| 3/8" Natural Pea Gravel | Play areas, patios | Rounded and smooth, comfortable underfoot |
| River Rock | Beds, borders, dry creek beds | Mixed sizes for a natural, flowing look |
| 2-4" River Rock | Larger decorative cover and erosion control | Stays put on slopes and in heavy rain events |
| Drain Rock | French drains and dry wells | Clean, angular rock that lets water pass through |
| Decomposed Granite | Paths and patios that compact firm | Compacts to a hard surface with a natural look |
| Crusher Run | Compacting base under everything | The standard base material for drives and slabs |
| Road Base | Lanes and pads that carry trucks | Designed to support load without rutting |
Match the project to the product and depth. These five common Canyon jobs show what to order and how deep to place it.
| Project | What to order | Depth or note |
|---|---|---|
| Dry creek bed | River Rock | 3 to 4 inches; use larger rock for channels |
| French drain | Drain Rock | 4 inches around the pipe for proper flow |
| Landscape beds | 2-4" River Rock | 2 inches; deep enough to suppress weeds |
| Erosion control on a slope | 2-4" River Rock | 4 to 6 inches; size holds against runoff |
| Path that stays firm | Decomposed Granite | 3 inches; compacted in lifts for a hard surface |
Randall County's climate shapes how gravel and rock perform. Canyon sees about 35 days a year with at least a tenth of an inch of rain. That means scheduling delivery onto firm ground matters more than the drainage itself.
Freeze and thaw cycles work on loose material all winter, which is the argument for the deeper first lift. About 118 days a year drop below 32F, and the ground freezing here is real but moderate. The base layer of crusher run or road base needs to be deep enough to resist movement as the ground freezes and thaws.
Snowfall averages about 14 inches a year, and plowing can damage a loose surface, so a compacted top layer like decomposed granite or crusher run holds up better. Soils mapped in the Canyon area are commonly well drained, and the ground around Canyon is in hydrologic group A, which means it soaks water up quickly and produces little runoff. That behavior means less drainage stone is needed under the surface layer compared to tight clay soils.
Estimating the tonnage for a project starts with the square footage and the depth you choose. Use our material calculators to find the right amount. The calculator asks for your project dimensions and the product, then gives you the approximate tons for that area.

Many Canyon orders pair gravel and rock with one of these materials for a complete project.
No. Canyon gets about 18 inches of precipitation a year, and the soil around the area soaks water up quickly. Drainage stone like drain rock is still the right call for French drains and dry wells, but for general use the precipitation level is not the main factor.
Yes. With about 118 days a year below 32F, the ground freezes and thaws many times. That cycle lifts loose material, so a deeper base of crusher run or road base is the right choice for any surface that needs to stay flat through the winter.
