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







Gravel and rock in Farmington is bought by the ton, ordered online, and delivered to your address in a dump truck. Soils mapped in the Farmington area are commonly somewhat poorly drained, which means more or less base stone belongs under the surface layer. The right material choice starts with understanding what the ground does underneath.
Loads range from one ton to 40 tons or more, and the price for delivery is calculated from your ZIP code at checkout. First-time customers get $50 off with the code FIRSTTIMER50. The goal is a driveway, path or bed that stays where you put it.
Not every gravel product works for every job. Some are too small for a driveway that carries trucks, and others do not compact well enough for a patio base. The table below matches each material to its best use.
| Product | Best for | Note |
|---|---|---|
| 3/8" Natural Pea Gravel | play areas, patios | rounded and smooth, does not lock together under weight |
| River Rock | beds, borders, dry creek beds | too round to compact for driveways |
| 2-4" River Rock | larger decorative cover, erosion control | too large for walking surfaces |
| Drain Rock | French drains, dry wells | not intended for decorative use |
| Decomposed Granite | paths and patios that compact firm | not suitable for steep slopes |
| Crusher Run | compacting base under everything | not a finished surface material |
| Road Base | lanes and pads that carry trucks | overbuilt for decorative beds |
The surface you are building determines which gravel or rock product holds up best. The table below maps five common project types to the right material and depth.
| Project | What to order | Depth or note |
|---|---|---|
| Erosion control on a slope | 2-4" River Rock | 4 to 6 inches deep |
| Landscape beds | River Rock | 2 to 3 inches deep |
| French drain | Drain Rock | 12 to 18 inches deep |
| Dry creek bed | River Rock | 3 to 4 inches deep |
| Path that stays firm | Decomposed Granite | 3 to 4 inches, compacted in lifts |
Ground freezing in Farmington is real but moderate. Freeze and thaw cycles work on loose material all winter, which is the argument for the deeper first lift. A base layer that extends deep enough keeps the surface from shifting when the ground thaws in spring.
Soils mapped in the Farmington area are commonly somewhat poorly drained. That means a gravel driveway or patio needs enough base stone to keep the surface layer above seasonal moisture. More base stone under the surface layer prevents the material from sinking into wet ground over time.
The ground around Farmington 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 here, especially under areas that need to stay firm year-round. Choosing a product like Drain Rock or a compacting base such as Crusher Run helps manage that surface water.
Davis County permitted about 920 single-family homes in 2024, a county-wide figure that points to ongoing development. Each new lot brings the same question: what goes under the driveway and around the house. The local conditions in Farmington make the base layer the most important part of the job.
Tonnage depends on the area you are covering and the depth you need. The depth itself depends on the material and what is underneath it. A path that takes foot traffic needs a different thickness than a driveway that carries trucks.
Use the material calculators on the Gravel Monkey site to enter your project dimensions and get a tonnage estimate. The calculator accounts for the material type and the depth you choose. Ordering by the ton means you pay for what you need, not a bag count.

Most gravel and rock jobs need something underneath or alongside. These materials work with your order.
Yes. Ground freezing in Farmington is real but moderate, and the freeze-thaw cycle works on loose material all winter. A deeper base layer of Crusher Run or Road Base keeps the surface from shifting when the ground thaws. Without that base, frost heave can push gravel out of place over several winters.
Yes. The ground around Farmington takes water in slowly and sheds a fair amount across the surface. A deeper drainage layer, such as Drain Rock under a French drain or a compacted base under a driveway, prevents water from pooling in the gravel. Poor drainage leads to soft spots and material migration over time.
Gravel and rock from Gravel Monkey is sold by the ton, not by the bag or cubic yard. You enter your project dimensions into the material calculators to get a tonnage estimate. The load is delivered in a dump truck to your address.
The delivery 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. You or someone you nominate must be at the site during the delivery window.
The right gravel or rock starts with the ground conditions in Farmington and the project you are building. Use the material calculators to estimate your tonnage, then check the delivered price for your ZIP code at checkout.
