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







A load of gravel and rock is bought by the ton here. You pick the size and the day, and Gravel Monkey handles the truck and the drop.
Baraboo gets about 38 inches of precipitation a year, which means drainage and washout planning matter for every gravel surface.
Each product has a specific job. Here is what works where.
| Product | What it is for | Note |
|---|---|---|
| 3/8" Natural Pea Gravel | Play areas, patios | Rounded and smooth, comfortable underfoot. |
| River Rock | Beds, borders, dry creek beds | Smooth, natural look that resists washing away. |
| 2-4" River Rock | Larger decorative cover, erosion control | Good for slopes and drainage areas. |
| Drain Rock | French drains, dry wells | Clean, angular stone that lets water pass. |
| Decomposed Granite | Paths, patios that compact firm | Compacts to a hard, stable surface. |
| Crusher Run | Compacting base under everything | Angular fines lock tight for load bearing. |
| Road Base | Lanes, pads that carry trucks | Designed for heavy traffic and stable support. |
The table below pairs common projects with the right gravel and rock.
| Project | What to order | Depth or note |
|---|---|---|
| French drain | Drain Rock | At least 12 inches around the pipe, wrapped in fabric. |
| Erosion control on a slope | 2-4" River Rock | 6 to 8 inch layer to hold soil in place. |
| Landscape beds | River Rock | 2 to 3 inches deep for a clean, weed-suppressing layer. |
| Dry creek bed | River Rock mixed with 2-4" River Rock | Varying depths for a natural streambed look. |
| Path that stays firm | Decomposed Granite | Compacted 3 to 4 inches over a base of Crusher Run. |
Baraboo receives about 38 inches of precipitation each year, so drainage planning is essential. About 74 days a year bring at least a tenth of an inch of rain, which means scheduling the delivery onto firm ground matters.
The area has about 160 freezing days annually, and ground freezes deep here. That affects how much the base layer needs to handle movement. Snowfall runs about 41 inches a year, and plowing can damage a loose surface.
Soils mapped in the Baraboo area are commonly well drained, which means you may need less base stone under the surface layer. Ground around Baraboo is in hydrologic group B, meaning it takes water in at a moderate rate, so standard base depth is usually enough. Ground that freezes deep moves as it thaws, which is why the base layer matters more here than the top layer.

Yes. Baraboo sees about 160 days a year below freezing. The ground freezes deep and stays frozen for months, which can affect how well a gravel base compacts. Ordering in the warmer months gives you a better compaction window.
About 74 days a year bring at least a tenth of an inch of rain. Scheduling a delivery onto firm ground is easier outside those wet days. The delivery crew needs a stable surface to unload.
The size depends on the use. For driveways and heavy-traffic areas, a larger angular stone like Road Base or Crusher Run works well. For decorative beds or paths, River Rock or Pea Gravel are common choices.
