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







The price you see at checkout comes down to material weight and the distance to your address. In Garden City, ground that freezes deep and stays frozen means a base layer thick enough to resist heave, which pushes the tonnage up. That is a cost the buyer sees in the delivered number.
That same freeze-thaw cycle is the reason contractors in Rich County specify a load-bearing base first and a top layer second. Gravel Monkey's job is to get the right tonnage to your site on the day you pick.
Not every crushed stone or river pebble works for every job. For example, 3/8" Natural Pea Gravel is too small for driveways because it shifts under tires, and River Rock in large sizes is not suitable under pavers that need a flat bed. Here is what each product does best.
| Product | Use | Note |
|---|---|---|
| 3/8" Natural Pea Gravel | Play areas, patios, rounded and smooth | A small, smooth stone that stays in place on low-traffic surfaces and is comfortable underfoot. |
| River Rock | Beds, borders, dry creek beds | A medium-sized natural stone that adds texture and resists weed growth when laid at 2 to 3 inches deep. |
| 2-4" River Rock | Larger decorative cover and erosion control | A bigger stone that locks together and slows water flow on slopes. |
| Drain Rock | French drains and dry wells | Clean, angular stone that allows water to move through quickly without clogging. |
| Decomposed Granite | Paths and patios that compact firm | A compacted material that hardens into a stable, low-dust surface after watering and rolling. |
| Crusher Run | Compacting base under everything | A blend of crushed stone and fines that locks into a solid foundation for other materials. |
| Road Base | Lanes and pads that carry trucks | A durable mixture rated for heavy loads that holds up to traffic and weather. |
The table below pairs common Garden City jobs with the gravel or rock that handles the load. Depth recommendations assume a compacted base over the native soil.
| Project | What to order | Depth or note |
|---|---|---|
| Landscape beds | River Rock | 2 to 3 inches |
| Path that stays firm | Decomposed Granite | 4 inches |
| French drain | Drain Rock | 12 to 18 inches |
| Erosion control on a slope | 2-4" River Rock | 4 to 6 inches |
| Dry creek bed | River Rock | 3 to 5 inches |
Rich County permitted about 72 single-family homes in 2024, so new construction is active. Many of those lots in and around Garden City sit on soil that belongs to hydrologic group C, which means water soaks in slowly and runs off the surface. A base layer that drains well is essential to keep driveways and pads intact through spring thaw.
Ground that freezes deep moves as it thaws, which is why the base layer matters more here than the top layer. Deep frost means you need a base depth that resists heave. Gravel Monkey supplies crusher run and road base to build that layer.
Use Gravel Monkey's material calculators to estimate the tonnage for any job. Enter your area in square feet and your intended depth in inches, and the calculator gives you a tonnage.
