Crushed Stone ordered online by the ton. A dump truck delivers to your Davis address and unloads right where you point.








Crushed stone in Davis is bought by the ton and ordered online. You pick the size and the day, and Gravel Monkey handles the truck, the drop and the pricing. With about 56 inches of precipitation a year, making sure the stone goes onto firm ground matters for drainage planning.
Every order is a direct load from a regional quarry, delivered to your address by dump truck. There is no yard to visit and no minimum order beyond one ton, though loads typically run from 1 to over 40 tons.
Each size of crushed stone suits a different part of the job. The table below lists what Gravel Monkey delivers in Davis. Every product is sold by the ton, not by the bag or the yard.

Davis gets about 56 inches of precipitation a year, so drainage planning is not optional. The ground sees about 115 days a year with at least a tenth of an inch of rain, meaning scheduling the delivery onto firm ground takes some attention. About 142 days a year drop below 32F, which shortens the working season and makes early planning useful.
Snowfall averages about 105 inches a year. Plowing a driveway that has a loose crushed stone surface can push the material around and create ruts. Ground freezing here is real but moderate, so the base layer needs to extend below the frost line to stay stable. Freeze and thaw cycles work on loose material all winter, which is the argument for the deeper first lift.
Soils mapped in the Davis area are commonly moderately well drained, but the ground around Davis is in a hydrologic group that takes water in very slowly. That means most rain runs across the surface rather than soaking in. For a crushed stone driveway or base, a deeper base and good drainage matter more here than elsewhere.
Tonnage depends on the area you are covering and the depth of the lift. A 4-inch layer over a 10-foot by 20-foot driveway needs roughly 2.5 tons, but that is a simple example and your own dimensions will be different. Use the crushed stone calculator to get a tonnage number for your exact measurements before you order.

Late spring through early fall gives the most working days. About 142 days a year drop below freezing, and that limits when you can spread and compact stone without frost in the ground. Scheduling delivery in a drier month also helps avoid wet-site issues, since Davis gets about 56 inches of precipitation annually.
It can. Soils mapped in the Davis area are commonly moderately well drained, but the ground belongs to a hydrologic group that takes water in very slowly, so most rain runs across the surface. That means a deeper crushed stone base for drainage is wise, which in turn means more total tonnage than you might use on a fast-draining site.
Yes. New customers can use the code FIRSTTIMER50 at checkout to get $50 off their first order. The code applies to the material total, not to delivery fees.
You or someone you nominate must be at the site during the delivery window. The driver needs a person to confirm the drop location and to sign off on the load. If nobody is there when the truck arrives, a missed delivery or redelivery fee can apply and the order is not refunded.
