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







If you are laying a gravel path or topping a decorative bed, you need material that stays put and drains properly. Crusher Run makes a compacting base that holds firm under patios and driveways, while River Rock gives a cleaner finish for beds and borders. Soils mapped in the New Martinsville area are commonly well drained, which means you can often use less base stone under the surface layer than you would on heavy clay. Getting the right split between base and finish material is the difference between a job that lasts and one that shifts.
New Martinsville gets about 46 inches of precipitation a year, so drainage and washout planning should be built into your design from the start. Choosing the right stone size and base depth helps water move away instead of collecting.
Gravel and rock projects usually need a base layer and a surface layer. Crusher Run and Road Base go underneath to spread the load and stop settling. Above that, you pick a stone that fits the look and function.
| 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 look with varied sizes. |
| 2-4" River Rock | Larger decorative cover and erosion control | Holds on slopes; resists washout. |
| Drain Rock | French drains and dry wells | Clean, angular stone that moves water fast. |
| Decomposed Granite | Paths and patios that compact firm | Locks together when tamped; good for walkways. |
| Crusher Run | Compacting base under everything | Contains fines that bind; resists settling. |
| Road Base | Lanes and pads that carry trucks | Durable mix for heavy loads. |
For each project, you can choose a budget-friendly surface material or a more durable option that holds up longer. The table below shows what to order for common jobs.
| Project | What to order | Depth or note |
|---|---|---|
| French drain | Drain Rock | 12 inches deep for proper water flow. |
| Dry creek bed | 2-4" River Rock | 4 to 6 inches deep; larger stone stays put. |
| Erosion control on a slope | River Rock | 6 inches deep; anchors against runoff. |
| Landscape beds | 3/8" Natural Pea Gravel | 2 to 3 inches deep; comfortable surface. |
| Path that stays firm | Decomposed Granite | 4 inches deep, compacted in layers. |
New Martinsville sees about 94 days a year with at least a tenth of an inch of rain. Scheduling your delivery onto firm ground is important because wet soil can rut under the truck and unsettle the base. About 134 days a year drop below 32F, which narrows the work window and means the ground can shift as it freezes and thaws.
Snowfall averages about 23 inches a year. Plowing a loose gravel surface can push stone aside, so consider a compacted top layer if the driveway will be plowed. Winters here are cold enough to move an unsettled base, so compaction is worth the extra pass. The frost depth is moderate, but a properly compacted base of Crusher Run or Road Base will handle it.
Soils mapped in the New Martinsville area are commonly well drained, and the ground around here takes water in at a moderate rate. That means standard base depth is usually enough, but you should still check the calculator for your exact project.
Estimating tonnage starts with the area and depth of your project. Use our material calculators to enter the square footage and desired depth, and it will tell you the tons required. Order a little extra to account for compaction and settling.

About 94 days a year bring at least a tenth of an inch of rain. You should schedule the delivery onto firm ground so the truck does not rut the soil and the stone goes onto a stable base. Dry weather on delivery day and the following days helps compaction bind the stone.
Yes, with about 134 days a year below 32F, the ground freezes enough to cause movement if the base is not compacted well. Order in the warmer months for easier installation, or if you work in winter, make sure the base is compacted thoroughly before freezing weather sets in.
Yes, we deliver to rural addresses in Wetzel County and beyond. The site needs a road width of at least 12 feet for the truck. You pick the delivery window at checkout and must be present during that time. If access is restricted, the crew unloads as close to the requested spot as safely possible.
The size depends on the project. For a compacting base, use Crusher Run or Road Base. For a path surface, 3/8" Natural Pea Gravel or Decomposed Granite work well. Larger 2-4" River Rock is better for erosion control and decorative borders. Use the product descriptions on our site to match the size to your use.
