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







Soils mapped in the Jackson area are commonly poorly drained. That means more base stone is often needed under the surface layer to keep paths and patios from turning into mud. Getting the base right from the start saves digging and rework.
Whether you are building a driveway, laying a path, or adding rock to landscape beds, the right gravel and rock makes the job hold up to Jackson's weather and ground conditions.
Each product has a specific job. Here is what to order and what it is not meant for. Click the product name for full details.
| Product | Best for | Note |
|---|---|---|
| 3/8" Natural Pea Gravel | Play areas, patios | Rounded and smooth; not for load-bearing driveways. |
| River Rock | Beds, borders, dry creek beds | Decorative and natural; too large for compacted paths. |
| 2-4" River Rock | Larger decorative cover and erosion control | Best on slopes or where a heavier rock is needed. |
| Drain Rock | French drains and dry wells | Clean, fractured rock that allows water to flow freely. |
| Decomposed Granite | Paths and patios that compact firm | Will not shift underfoot; not for drainage applications. |
| Crusher Run | Compacting base under everything | Contains fines that lock tight; not for surface wear. |
| Road Base | Lanes and pads that carry trucks | Heavy-duty compaction; overkill for light foot traffic. |
The table below matches common Jackson projects to the right material and a typical depth range. Use it as a starting point before ordering.
| Project | What to order | Depth or note |
|---|---|---|
| Path that stays firm | Decomposed Granite | 2 to 3 inches after compaction |
| French drain | Drain Rock | Fill trench to within 2 inches of grade |
| Landscape beds | River Rock | 2 to 4 inches of rock on top of fabric |
| Erosion control on a slope | 2-4" River Rock | 4 to 6 inches deep, heavier rock holds better |
| Dry creek bed | River Rock | 3 to 5 inches of rock over landscape fabric |
Ground freezing in Jackson is deep and long. This changes how deep the base layer needs to be, especially under driveways or paths that need to stay level through winter. A deeper base of crusher run or road base helps prevent heaving.
The ground around Jackson takes water in at a moderate rate. That means standard base depth is usually enough, as long as drainage is directed away from the area. Adding drain rock around edges or using a permeable surface like decomposed granite can help stop water from pooling.
Hard freezes shape the calendar here, so base work is easier to get right from late spring through fall. Teton County permitted about 100 single-family homes in 2024, which means new construction needing driveways, pads, and landscape rock. Planning ahead for spring is smart.

Gravel and rock often pair with other materials for a complete project. These options are available in Jackson.
Yes. Jackson's soils take in water at a moderate rate, meaning rain can sit on the surface if the ground is compacted. Choosing a permeable material like decomposed granite or drain rock helps water soak in, and adding a drainage layer of crusher run under patios and paths prevents water from gathering.
Yes. Ground freezing in Jackson is deep and long, which can push up shallow base layers. A deeper base of crusher run or road base gives the ground room to move without cracking the surface. Ordering a thicker base than you would in a milder climate is a good idea.
Depth depends on the project type, the traffic it will carry, and the local ground conditions. Our material calculators let you input your area and get a tonnage estimate based on your chosen depth. For heavy use or uncertain ground, consider going an extra inch or two.
Sizes range from small gravel like 3/8" pea gravel up to 2-4" river rock. Smaller sizes compact well for paths and bases. Larger sizes stay put on slopes and in decorative beds. The product table above shows what each size does best.
The amount varies by project. Use our calculator to find the right tonnage, then order online. For more about buying gravel and rock in Jackson, visit our Jackson hub page.
