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







A load of gravel and rock from Gravel Monkey is purchased by the ton, priced for your ZIP at checkout, and delivered to your address in a dump truck. You choose the material, the tonnage and the delivery window, and we handle the rest. Orders run from 1 ton up to 40 or more tons per load.
Gravel Monkey delivers across West Virginia, sourcing from a regional supplier network so the material matches local quarry output. The truck shows up on the day you pick, and you approve a photo of the load before it ships.
Each product suits a specific job and site condition. Picking the wrong one means extra maintenance or a shorter service life, so the table below notes what each product does best and where it falls short.
| Product | Best for | Note |
|---|---|---|
| 3/8" Natural Pea Gravel | Play areas, patios | Rounded and smooth; does not lock together for slopes. |
| River Rock | Beds, borders, dry creek beds | Decorative but unstable under foot traffic on grades. |
| 2-4" River Rock | Larger decorative cover and erosion control | Not a base material; too large to compact. |
| Drain Rock | French drains and dry wells | Clean and angular; poor choice for exposed walking surfaces. |
| Decomposed Granite | Paths and patios that compact firm | Washes out on steep grades without a binder or edge. |
| Crusher Run | Compacting base under everything | Contains fines that shed water; not a finished surface. |
| Road Base | Lanes and pads that carry trucks | Overkill for light foot-traffic paths. |
Match your surface type to the right material and depth. The table below covers five typical jobs.
| Project | What to order | Depth or note |
|---|---|---|
| Erosion control on a slope | 2-4" River Rock | 4 to 6 inches; larger rock stays put better on grade. |
| Path that stays firm | Decomposed Granite | 2 to 3 inches compacted; needs good drainage below. |
| Landscape beds | River Rock | 2 to 3 inches over landscape fabric. |
| French drain | Drain Rock | Clean, washed rock; no fines that could clog the pipe. |
| Dry creek bed | River Rock | 3 to 5 inches; mix sizes for natural appearance. |
Across the West Virginia cities we deliver to, annual precipitation runs from about 41 to 52 inches. That kind of rainfall means drainage is the first consideration: surface water needs a path out, and the material you choose has to handle the wet-dry cycle without washing or settling unevenly. The number of freezing days ranges from about 109 to 131 days a year below 32F, depending on location. Freeze and thaw cycles work on loose material all winter, which is the argument for the deeper first lift. A thicker initial layer gives the base room to shift slightly without ruining the surface grade.
The dominant soil hydrologic groups across the served cities are B and C. Group B soils drain fairly well, while group C soils have slower infiltration. Where you sit in that spectrum changes base-depth guidance: slower-draining soil needs a thicker gravel base to keep the surface above seasonal moisture. Most of the state falls in the moderate band for ground freezing, so a typical 6-inch compacted base with an extra inch of drainage aggregate is a safe starting point.

Tonnage depends on the area you are covering and the depth you need. A 3-inch layer on a 10-by-10-foot area takes about half a ton of pea gravel, while a 6-inch base for a driveway takes more than twice that for the same footprint. Use the material calculators on the site to get your tonnage before you order, and round up by 10 percent to account for compaction and settling.
Gravel and rock orders are placed online by the ton, with delivery priced by ZIP at checkout. Choose a morning window, 7 am to 12 pm, or an afternoon window, 12 pm to 5 pm. The delivery date must be at least 3 business days after the order date. You get an email confirmation when the order is placed, then a second email closer to the date with the scheduled window and a photo of the material being loaded. Delivery only goes ahead once you approve that second email. Someone must be available at the site during the window. Use code FIRSTTIMER50 on a first order for $50 off. Learn more on the About Gravel Monkey page, read customer reviews, and check delivery information for site-access requirements and the inspection process.
Gravel and rock often share a truck with another bulk material. Pair your order with the product that goes beneath or around it.
Annual precipitation across the cities we deliver to runs from about 41 to 52 inches, which makes drainage your first concern. Choose open-graded rock like drain rock or river rock for wet areas, and compactable products like crusher run or decomposed granite for surfaces that need to stay firm.
West Virginia enforces seasonal load restrictions on some roads during the spring thaw to protect pavement. These restrictions can limit the tonnage a truck can carry on certain routes, which may affect delivery timing or require a partial load. The delivery date you pick at checkout accounts for those constraints where they apply.
Sizes range from 3/8-inch pea gravel up to 4-inch river rock. Decomposed granite and crusher run contain fines that let them compact into a dense surface. River rock is sold in mixed-size lots and by specific ranges such as 2 to 4 inches.
