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







Pownal sits in Bennington County, where properties range from rural homesteads to hillside lots. The area gets about 43 inches of precipitation a year, which means drainage and washout planning matters for every gravel and rock project. Choosing the right material starts with knowing how the ground handles heavy rain.
Gravel Monkey delivers crushed stone and river rock by the ton straight to your Pownal address. You compare sizes and place an order in a few minutes online. There is no local yard to visit.
Each product has a different size and purpose. The table below lists what Gravel Monkey stocks, what each is used for, and a short note to help you pick.
| Product | Best for | Note |
|---|---|---|
| 3/8" Natural Pea Gravel | Play areas, patios | Rounded and smooth, comfortable underfoot. |
| River Rock | Beds, borders, dry creek beds | Natural stone in mixed sizes. |
| 2-4" River Rock | Larger decorative cover and erosion control | Bigger stones stay in place on slopes. |
| Drain Rock | French drains and dry wells | Clean, angular stone for water movement. |
| Decomposed Granite | Paths and patios that compact firm | Loose material that packs into a hard surface. |
| Crusher Run | Compacting base under everything | Contains fines that lock it together. |
| Road Base | Lanes and pads that carry trucks | Heavy-duty mix for load-bearing surfaces. |
Every project starts with a problem: a path that washes out, a wet basement, or a bare slope. The table below maps the fix to the material.
| Project | What to order | Depth or note |
|---|---|---|
| Path that stays firm | Decomposed Granite | 2 to 3 inches, compacted over a crusher run base. |
| French drain | Drain Rock | Fill trench at least 4 inches around the pipe. |
| Landscape beds | River Rock | 2 to 3 inches deep, stops weeds and holds moisture. |
| Erosion control on a slope | 2-4" River Rock | 3 to 4 inches deep, the larger size resists washing away. |
| Dry creek bed | River Rock | 3 to 4 inches deep, mimics a natural stream bed. |
Pownal sees about 152 days a year where temperatures drop below freezing. That long freeze pushes frost deep into the ground. Ground that freezes deep moves as it thaws, which is why the base layer matters more here than the top layer. The local soils drain quickly, so water does not pool under your gravel, but the frost cycle still demands a compacted foundation that resists movement.
About 75 inches of snow falls annually. Plowing that snow can scrape a loose gravel surface and expose the base. A well-graded material like crusher run or road base holds together under the blade better than round stone. The ground around Pownal soaks up water fast, which reduces the amount of drainage stone needed under the surface. That means you can put more of your budget into the top layer if you choose.

Yes, we deliver gravel and rock to Pownal and all of Bennington County. The area has about 89 wet days a year, so scheduling delivery on a dry stretch gives the truck firm ground to work on. You choose the delivery window at checkout.
The price per ton and delivery fee are calculated at checkout when you enter your ZIP code. Because soils in the Pownal area drain well, you often need less base stone under the surface, which can affect your total order size and cost.
No. You or someone you nominate must be present during the delivery window. The window is selected at checkout: morning (7 am to 12 pm) or afternoon (12 pm to 5 pm). If no one is there, a missed delivery fee can apply.
Each size serves a different purpose. Small rounded stone like pea gravel works for paths and play areas. Larger river rock stays in place on slopes. Crushed, angular stone locks together for base layers. The product table above gives a quick overview.
