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







Choosing the right gravel or rock size changes how a project drains, bears weight, and resists weeds. Pennsboro gets about 47 inches of precipitation a year, so drainage and washout planning matters on every job.
Gravel Monkey delivers bulk gravel and rock by the ton straight to your site in Pennsboro and across Ritchie County. Order online and the dump truck shows up with the material you picked.
Our product list covers everything from smooth pea gravel for patios to crushed rock for compacted base layers. Each product has a specific use, and the right choice saves time and material.
| 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; resists washout. |
| 2-4" River Rock | decorative cover, erosion control | Large stones stay put on slopes. |
| Drain Rock | French drains, dry wells | Clean rock that moves water fast. |
| Decomposed Granite | paths, patios that compact firm | Compacts into a stable, permeable surface. |
| Crusher Run | compacting base under everything | Fines lock the stone together for a solid subgrade. |
| Road Base | lanes, pads that carry trucks | Heavy-duty blend for traffic loads. |
Here are five common jobs and the product that fits each. Depth depends on load and soil, but this gives you a starting point.
| Project | What to order | Depth or note |
|---|---|---|
| Dry creek bed | River Rock or 2-4" River Rock | 4 to 6 inches deep for good flow. |
| French drain | Drain Rock | 12 to 18 inches around the pipe. |
| Landscape beds | River Rock or Decomposed Granite | 2 to 3 inches to suppress weeds. |
| Path that stays firm | Decomposed Granite | 3 to 4 inches compacted in lifts. |
| Erosion control on a slope | 2-4" River Rock or Crusher Run | 6 to 8 inches minimum, larger stone on top. |
Pennsboro sees about 129 days a year where the temperature drops below 32F. Freeze and thaw cycles work on loose material all winter, which is the argument for the deeper first lift. A stable base needs to be below the frost line to avoid shifting.
Ground around Pennsboro is in hydrologic group C, which means it takes water in slowly and sheds a fair amount across the surface. A deeper drainage layer earns its place, especially under drives and patios. About 23 inches of snow each year means plowing can damage a loose surface, so a top course that stays put matters.
Because the ground freezing here is real but moderate, the base layer needs to be deep enough to stay stable through the season. Planning for drainage and frost pays off in the long run.
The right tonnage depends on the area, depth, and compaction of the material. Use our material calculators to enter the square footage and depth, and get an estimate in tons. That number fits directly into your order.

About Gravel Monkey · Customer reviews · Delivery information
Often a gravel or rock order pairs with another bulk material. Here are options we deliver to Pennsboro.
The tonnage depends on the area and depth of the project. Use our material calculators to estimate your needs. For Pennsboro, the local soil conditions (group C, which takes water slowly) mean a deeper drainage layer is often required, which increases the amount of stone needed.
Delivery cost is calculated based on your ZIP code at checkout. Because Pennsboro has about 94 wet days a year, scheduling delivery onto firm ground is important to avoid access issues.
Landscape fabric helps suppress weeds and separate the stone from soil, which reduces sinking. It is a good idea under decorative rock, pea gravel, and river rock. For base layers like crusher run, fabric can go underneath to stop soil mixing in, but it is not always required.
Yes. Smaller, angular stone with fines (like crusher run or decomposed granite) compacts into a dense, stable mass. Larger round stone (like river rock) does not lock together well and stays loose. For surfaces that need to stay firm underfoot or wheels, choose a compacting product.
