Each gravel and rock product serves a specific role on a job site. Selecting the right material keeps the base stable and the surface durable. The table below matches each product to its typical application and notes the key characteristic worth knowing.
| Product | Use | Note |
|---|---|---|
| 3/8" Natural Pea Gravel | Play areas, patios | Rounded and smooth, comfortable underfoot and easy to spread in play areas and patios. |
| River Rock | Beds, borders, dry creek beds | Natural, smooth stones in assorted sizes that stay in place and resist washout in beds and borders. |
| 2-4" River Rock | Larger decorative cover and erosion control | Heavy stone that holds on slopes and stays put in high-flow drainage channels and erosion-prone areas. |
| Drain Rock | French drains and dry wells | Clean, angular stone with no fines that allows maximum water flow through French drains and dry wells. |
| Decomposed Granite | Paths and patios that compact firm | Compacts to a hard, stable surface that sheds water, resists weed growth, and handles foot traffic well. |
| Crusher Run | Compacting base under everything | Contains fines that lock the stone together for a solid, load-bearing base layer under patios and driveways. |
| Road Base | Lanes and pads that carry trucks | Engineered aggregate blend designed to support heavy vehicle traffic without rutting or shifting under load. |
The table below maps common projects to the right material and gives a typical depth reference. Use it as a quick guide, then confirm the quantity with the material calculators.
| Project | What to order | Depth or note |
|---|---|---|
| Dry creek bed | River Rock | 4 to 6 inches for visual depth and flow capacity |
| Path that stays firm | Decomposed Granite | 2 to 3 inches compacted over a prepared base |
| Erosion control on a slope | 2-4" River Rock | 3 to 4 inches, heavier stone stays on grade |
| French drain | Drain Rock | 12 inches in the trench, wrapped in filter fabric |
| Landscape beds | 3/8" Natural Pea Gravel | 1 to 2 inches over landscape fabric for weed control |
Annual precipitation across the cities Gravel Monkey delivers to in Virginia runs from about 42 to 50 inches. That range means drainage matters on any project, especially where the gravel sits on a base layer that needs to stay firm.
Freezing days range from about 64 to 121 days a year below 32F, depending on location. Most of the state sits in the moderate band for ground freezing. Freeze and thaw cycles work on loose material all winter, which is the argument for the deeper first lift.
The most common hydrologic soil groups across the served cities are B and C, which drain at a moderate rate. For gravel surfaces that have to hold up through wet weather, the base depth guidance leans toward a deeper lift to keep the structure stable under load.
Gravel Monkey delivers to addresses across Virginia, not only the cities listed here. The 65 cities covered include the following featured locations.
Tonnage depends on the area you are covering and the depth you plan to place. A cubic yard of most gravel and rock weighs about 1.25 to 1.5 tons. Use the material calculators to enter your dimensions and get an estimated tonnage for your project. That number goes into the order form as the quantity you want delivered.
Gravel and rock are sold by the ton because density varies by product and depth requirements differ by project. Order online, and the price is calculated by your ZIP code at checkout. A dump truck delivers the load to the address you provide, with loads ranging from 1 to more than 40 tons.

Annual precipitation across the cities we deliver to in Virginia runs from 42 to 50 inches, and freezing days range from 64 to 121 days a year below 32F. The most common soil groups, B and C, drain moderately, so a deeper base lift helps keep gravel surfaces stable through wet weather and freeze-thaw cycles.
Virginia has spring load restrictions on many secondary roads during the thaw period. Gravel Monkey works with local haulers who know which routes are posted and adjust truck routing accordingly. The restriction periods vary by region and weather each year.
Gravel Monkey offers several sizes: 3/8 inch natural pea gravel, river rock in various sizes, and 2 to 4 inch river rock, along with crushed and graded materials. Each product page lists the specific size range and typical applications for that stone.
