Gravel & Rock ordered online by the ton. A dump truck delivers to your Del Rio address and unloads right where you point.
Del Rio gets about 21 inches of precipitation a year. That means drainage and washout planning drive every gravel and rock project here. Choose materials that shed water rather than trap it.
If you are building a driveway, a path, or a dry creek bed, the right stone keeps the surface stable. Local conditions like soil type and freeze frequency also matter.
Crusher Run is the most-ordered product for a solid base. It compacts into a firm layer that supports patios, driveways, and walkways. Below are the other sizes we deliver.
| Product | Use | Note |
|---|---|---|
| 3/8" Natural Pea Gravel | Play areas, patios | Rounded and smooth, easy on feet. |
| River Rock | Beds, borders, dry creek beds | Natural look, comes in several sizes. |
| 2-4" River Rock | Decorative cover, erosion control | Larger stones stay put on slopes. |
| Drain Rock | French drains, dry wells | Clean, angular stone moves water fast. |
| Decomposed Granite | Paths, patios | Compacts firm for a stable surface. |
| Crusher Run | Compacting base | Ideal under pavers, concrete, or asphalt. |
| Road Base | Lanes, parking pads | Handles heavy truck traffic. |
Here is a quick guide to matching your project with the right gravel or rock for Del Rio conditions.
| Project | What to order | Depth or note |
|---|---|---|
| French drain | Drain Rock | Depth depends on pipe size; use clean stone. |
| Dry creek bed | River Rock | 4 to 6 inches deep for a natural look. |
| Erosion control on a slope | 2-4" River Rock | 6 to 8 inches; larger stones resist washout. |
| Landscape beds | River Rock | 2 to 3 inches suppresses weeds. |
| Path that stays firm | Decomposed Granite | 2 to 3 inches compacted, with edges contained. |
Del Rio sees about 21 inches of rain a year spread across roughly 30 wet days. That means scheduling deliveries onto firm ground matters. About 21 days a year drop below 32F, but snowfall averages zero inches, so plowing damage to loose surfaces is not a concern.
Soils mapped in the Del Rio area are commonly well drained, which can reduce the amount of base stone needed under the surface layer. Ground freezing here is not a significant factor, so the base layer does not need extra depth for frost heave. The ground around Del Rio takes water in at a moderate rate, so standard base depth is usually enough.
Without a hard freeze to lift the surface, drainage and washout are what decide how long the material lasts. Plan for water moving through the stone, not for ice pushing it up.
To figure out how many tons your project requires, measure the length and width of the area and decide on depth. Use our material calculators to convert cubic yards to tons and see the order total before checkout.

Del Rio averages about 21 freezing days a year, so ground heave is minimal. You do not need extra base depth for frost protection. Focus on drainage instead.
