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







Gravel Monkey supplies bulk gravel and rock by the ton to Schertz and all of Guadalupe County. Homes and businesses in the area order materials for driveways, drainage, paths and decorative landscaping.
Schertz gets about 34 inches of precipitation a year, so drainage and washout planning matter for any gravel or rock project. Choosing the right material for the local conditions saves rework later.
Gravel and rock come in sizes from fine crushed material to large decorative pieces. The right choice depends on what the project needs to do and the look you want.
| Product | Best For | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| 3/8" Natural Pea Gravel | Play areas, patios | Rounded and smooth underfoot, easy to spread. |
| River Rock | Beds, borders, dry creek beds | Smooth, varied sizes for a natural look. |
| 2-4" River Rock | Larger decorative cover and erosion control | Heavy pieces that stay put on slopes. |
| Drain Rock | French drains and dry wells | Clean, angular rock that lets water through. |
| Decomposed Granite | Paths and patios that compact firm | Stable surface that drains well. |
| Crusher Run | Compacting base under everything | Contains fines that lock into a solid pad. |
| Road Base | Lanes and pads that carry trucks | Heavy-duty mix for traffic areas. |

The climate in Schertz determines when and how to install gravel or rock. Work can run most of the year in this climate, which makes scheduling the delivery the easy part. About 46 days a year bring at least a tenth of an inch of rain, so planning the delivery for firm ground helps avoid ruts.
Freezing temperatures occur on roughly 20 days a year, which narrows the work window and can cause ground movement that shifts a loose surface. Because ground freezing here is not a significant factor, the base layer does not need extra depth for frost heave.
The ground around Schertz takes water in slowly and sheds a fair amount across the surface. That behavior means a deeper drainage layer earns its place, especially under truck-traffic areas or anything paved.
Tonnage depends on the area, the depth of the layer, and the material's density. Use our material calculators to find the right amount for your project before placing an order.

Gravel and rock often work together with other bulk materials on the same site. The list below shows materials that complement common gravel projects.
Yes, we deliver to Schertz and the rest of Guadalupe County. Because about 20 days a year drop below 32F, the work window for placing gravel is limited, and we schedule deliveries accordingly. Orders are confirmed with a delivery date at least 3 business days out.
Delivery cost is based on your ZIP code at checkout. Schertz has about 46 wet days a year, so we schedule deliveries for firm ground to avoid site issues. Enter FIRSTTIMER50 for $50 off your first order, and check for free delivery on qualifying orders.
The depth depends on the project and the material. For a path, 2 to 3 inches of compacted decomposed granite is typical. For a driveway, 4 to 6 inches of base material under a wear course is common. Use our material calculators for guidance based on your area and chosen product.
The truck needs a clear path at least 12 feet wide to the drop spot. The surface should be firm enough to support a loaded dump truck. If access is restricted, the crew unloads as close as they safely can.
