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







The delivered cost of gravel and rock comes down to the material, the haul distance, and the tonnage you order. Plymouth sits in Sheboygan County, and the local climate shapes what works best underfoot.
Plymouth gets about 34 inches of precipitation a year. That rainfall means you need to plan for drainage, especially where gravel meets soil or sits near a foundation.
Not every gravel works everywhere. These products each have limits, so pick the one that fits your project.
| Product | Common use | Note |
|---|---|---|
| 3/8" Natural Pea Gravel | Play areas, patios | Rounded and smooth; does not compact firm. |
| River Rock | Beds, borders, dry creek beds | Decorative but not stable under foot traffic alone. |
| 2-4" River Rock | Larger decorative cover, erosion control | Too large for a walking surface; use as top layer. |
| Drain Rock | French drains, dry wells | Clear stone; not suitable as a compacted base. |
| Decomposed Granite | Paths, patios that compact firm | Needs a solid base or it rut easily in wet weather. |
| Crusher Run | Compacting base under everything | Does not look finished; cover with top gravel. |
| Road Base | Lanes and pads that carry trucks | Overkill for a small garden path. |
Match the gravel to the job. The table below shows what works for common Plymouth projects.
| Project | What to order | Depth or note |
|---|---|---|
| French drain | Drain Rock | Surround pipe with clean stone; no fines. |
| Landscape beds | River Rock | 2 to 3 inches deep; keeps weeds down. |
| Path that stays firm | Decomposed Granite | Compact and slope for runoff. |
| Dry creek bed | 2-4" River Rock | Larger rock stays in place during heavy flow. |
| Erosion control on a slope | 2-4" River Rock | Thick enough to hold the slope. |
The ground around Plymouth is in hydrologic group D, which means it takes water in very slowly, so most rain runs across the surface. That drainage behavior makes a deeper base more important here than in faster-draining areas. Without a good base, a gravel surface can shift downhill with each heavy rain.
About 70 days a year bring at least a tenth of an inch of rain. That many wet days means scheduling delivery onto firm ground matters. Spring thaw is the wet part of the year for driveways, and it is when a thin base shows up as ruts. The ground freezes deep and long here, about 148 days a year drop below 32F. That freeze-thaw cycle can push gravel sideways if the base is not thick enough.
Snowfall averages about 44 inches a year. Plowing a loose gravel surface can scrape material away if the base is not compacted. A well-laid crusher run or road base underneath keeps the top layer in place through winter.
Gravel and rock are sold by the ton. The amount you need depends on the area you are covering and the depth you plan to lay. Use our material calculators to get a tonnage estimate based on your project dimensions.
Order online by the ton, and the price is shown at checkout for your ZIP code. The material arrives by dump truck to your Plymouth address. Loads range from 1 to over 40 tons, and free delivery is available on qualifying orders. Use code FIRSTTIMER50 for $50 off your first order.
You choose a delivery window at checkout: morning, 7 am to 12 pm, or afternoon, 12 pm to 5 pm. The delivery date must be at least 3 business days after you order. You get an email confirmation, then a second email closer to the date with the scheduled window and a photo of the material being loaded. The delivery only goes ahead once you approve that second email. Someone must be at the site during the window. The truck needs a road width of at least 12 feet. If access is restricted, the crew unloads as close as they can.

Pair gravel and rock with these materials for a complete job.
Yes. The ground freezes for about 148 days a year in Plymouth, so you need a base that can handle freeze-thaw cycles. That means a thicker layer of crusher run or road base under the surface gravel to limit shifting.
Yes. The soil in the Plymouth area takes water in very slowly, so most rain runs across the surface. That makes drainage a bigger factor in material choice, especially for paths and driveways that need to stay firm after rain.
Gravel and rock are measured in cubic yards but sold by the ton. The product page for each material shows how many tons cover a square foot at a given depth. The calculator on our site helps you convert your project area into tons.
The delivery truck needs a road width of at least 12 feet to reach the drop point. If your access is restricted, the crew will unload as close as they safely can. Confirm that your driveway or path can support a heavy truck.
