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







You have a project underway and need to choose between a loose, decorative surface and a compacted base that carries weight. In Lehi, where the ground freezes deep and long, the choice between gravel that stays in place and gravel that holds a structure matters every season.
For a patio that drains and stays smooth, 3/8" Natural Pea Gravel gives a rounded, comfortable surface, while Crusher Run locks together under compacting to form a rigid layer that does not shift. Lehi gets about 18 inches of precipitation a year, so drainage planning should start with the base.
The split between a base material and a finish material determines how the job performs over the first freeze-thaw cycle. The list below covers both sides of that divide.
| Product | Use | Note |
|---|---|---|
| 3/8" Natural Pea Gravel | Play areas, patios | Rounded and smooth, gentle underfoot and on bare feet. |
| River Rock | Beds, borders, dry creek beds | Smooth, varied sizes for natural-looking decorative cover. |
| 2-4" River Rock | Larger decorative cover and erosion control | Big stones hold slope soil and stay put in heavy rain. |
| Drain Rock | French drains and dry wells | Clean, angular rock that moves water fast underground. |
| Decomposed Granite | Paths and patios that compact firm | Fine-textured, packs into a hard, permeable surface. |
| Crusher Run | Compacting base under everything | Angular stone with fines, locks into a dense sub-base. |
| Road Base | Lanes and pads that carry trucks | Heavy-duty blend designed for loads and traffic. |
The budget option often skips the base layer, but the long-term option adds depth before the top stone. Here is how common projects line up.
| Project | What to order | Depth or note |
|---|---|---|
| Landscape beds | River Rock or 2-4" River Rock | 2 to 3 inches over weed fabric |
| French drain | Drain Rock | Fill trench without fines to keep water moving |
| Path that stays firm | Decomposed Granite over Crusher Run | Compacted base plus surface, about 4 inches total |
| Dry creek bed | River Rock with larger 2-4" River Rock | Layered for visual flow and erosion resistance |
| Erosion control on a slope | 2-4" River Rock | Angular, heavy rock that resists washout |
The delivery schedule in Lehi has a natural window. About 133 days a year drop below freezing, and the ground gets about 41 inches of snow annually. That snow covers loose gravel surfaces, and plowing can pull material away from edges if the surface is not compacted.
Soils mapped in the Lehi area are commonly somewhat poorly drained, which means they hold moisture longer. Ground that freezes deep moves as it thaws, which is why the base layer matters more here than the top layer. When rain comes, about 55 days a year bring at least a tenth of an inch, the water has nowhere to go quickly because the soil takes it in very slowly, so most of it runs across the surface. That surface flow makes drainage work and a deeper base layer important for keeping gravel in place.
Estimating tonnage starts with the area and the depth you plan to place. A cubic yard of most gravel weighs about 1.3 to 1.5 tons, but the shape of the stone and the compaction matter. Use the material calculators on the Gravel Monkey site to enter your dimensions and get a tonnage estimate before you order.
You order online by the ton, and the delivery price is calculated by ZIP code at checkout. Loads run from one ton up to 40 tons or more per truck. A dump truck brings the material to your address.

The delivery date you choose at checkout must be at least 3 business days after the order date. You pick a window: morning 7 am to 12 pm or afternoon 12 pm to 5 pm.

These materials work with gravel and rock for a complete project in Lehi.
Yes. About 133 days a year drop below freezing, and ground freezing here is deep and long. That affects when you can work the soil and how much base stone you need under the surface layer. Order early in the working season so the base can be placed, compacted, and settled before the ground freezes again.
Yes. Snowfall averages about 41 inches a year, and snow can block access or make the delivery site slippery. Choose a delivery window when the ground is firm. Gravel Monkey requires a site road width of at least 12 feet, and the crew will unload as close to the requested spot as safety allows in winter conditions.
Delivery is priced by ZIP at checkout. As long as the truck can access the property with a 12-foot-wide road, delivery is possible. Enter your ZIP code during checkout to see if your address is covered.
The size depends on the project. For walking surfaces, 3/8" pea gravel or decomposed granite gives a firm, comfortable feel. For drainage, clean 3/4" drain rock works best. For erosion control on slopes, 2-4" river rock stays in place better than smaller stone.
