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







Gravel and rock are the backbone of most hardscape projects, but not every material works in every spot. Wimberley gets about 37 inches of precipitation a year, so drainage and washout planning should guide your choice from the start.
Whether you are building a path, a dry creek bed, or a French drain, the right size and shape of stone makes the difference between a project that lasts and one that needs redoing.
Not every gravel suits every job. The table below lists what each product handles best and where it does not belong.
| Product | Best Use | Note |
|---|---|---|
| 3/8" Natural Pea Gravel | Play areas and patios | Rounded and smooth, not good for slopes or compacted bases. |
| River Rock | Beds, borders, dry creek beds | Washes out easily on a grade without edging. |
| 2-4" River Rock | Larger decorative cover and erosion control | Not suited for walking surfaces or tight spaces. |
| Drain Rock | French drains and dry wells | Angular, packs well; do not use where a smooth finish is wanted. |
| Decomposed Granite | Paths and patios that compact firm | Needs a solid base and edging; not for drainage applications. |
| Crusher Run | Compacting base under everything | Not a top dressing; stays put but holds water if graded poorly. |
| Road Base | Lanes and pads that carry trucks | Overkill for garden beds; best for heavy traffic areas. |
Match the stone to the surface you are building. The table below pairs common jobs with the best gravel or rock from our list.
| Project | What to Order | Depth or Note |
|---|---|---|
| Path that stays firm | Decomposed Granite | 2 to 3 inches after compaction |
| Dry creek bed | River Rock | 4 to 6 inches for visual flow |
| Landscape beds | River Rock or 2-4" River Rock | 2 to 3 inches, use fabric below |
| French drain | Drain Rock | 12 to 18 inches deep, wrapped in filter fabric |
| Erosion control on a slope | 2-4" River Rock | 4 to 6 inches, keyed into the slope |
The ground around Wimberley is in hydrologic group D, which means it takes water in very slowly. Most rain runs across the surface instead of soaking in, so drainage and a deeper base matter more here than elsewhere. That is one reason why the right stone and preparation are critical.
Wimberley sees about 48 days a year with at least a tenth of an inch of rain. Scheduling your delivery onto firm ground avoids rutting and keeps the truck from getting stuck. About 20 days a year drop below freezing, which can cause the surface to shift if the base is not thick enough. However, ground freezing here is not a significant factor, so the base depth needed is driven more by drainage and load than by frost.
Work can run most of the year in this climate, which makes scheduling the delivery the easy part. Plan your prep and ordering around those few wet and cold days.
Estimating tonnage starts with the area you want to cover and the depth you choose. Every stone type compacts and spreads differently. Use our material calculators to get a rough figure before you order. The calculator shows cubic yards and tons for most of the products listed above.

Many projects use a base layer or a different top dressing. Consider these companion materials:
Yes. Wimberley gets about 37 inches of precipitation a year, and the soil drains slowly. That combination means runoff-driven projects like dry creek beds and French drains need the right stone to handle the flow without washing out.
Not significantly. About 20 days a year drop below freezing, but ground freezing is not a major factor here. A standard base under your gravel or rock is enough to handle the small amount of frost movement.
Yes. Gravel Monkey delivers to homeowners, contractors, landscapers, and commercial sites. The same ordering process and delivery windows apply regardless of the customer type.
