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







For a stable path or a decorative patio, the choice between a compacting material and a loose decorative stone shapes how the surface will hold up. Decomposed Granite compacts into a firm walking surface, while 3/8" Natural Pea Gravel stays loose and drains quickly. Lander gets about 15 inches of precipitation a year, so choosing a material that sheds water well helps avoid puddles and washout.
Gravel Monkey delivers both options by the ton to your Lander address, priced by ZIP at checkout. You choose a delivery window and we bring the load in a dump truck. The right size and type depend on the project, and the section below can help you decide.
Gravel and rock in Lander falls into two categories: base materials that compact into a stable foundation and finish materials that provide decoration and drainage. The table below lists the products available for delivery.
| Product | Ideal for | Note |
|---|---|---|
| 3/8" Natural Pea Gravel | Play areas, patios | Rounded and smooth, drains quickly |
| River Rock | Beds, borders, dry creek beds | Natural stones in mixed sizes |
| 2-4" River Rock | Larger decorative cover and erosion control | Stays in place under flow |
| Drain Rock | French drains and dry wells | Graded to pass water freely |
| Decomposed Granite | Paths and patios that compact firm | Compacts into an all-weather surface |
| Crusher Run | Compacting base under everything | Angular stone that locks together |
| Road Base | Lanes and pads that carry trucks | Designed for heavy load support |
Some projects do well with a budget-friendly base material that you cover later, while others need a durable finish that lasts for years. The table below matches common Lander job types to the product that fits, whether you are prioritizing cost or longevity.
| Project | What to order | Depth or note |
|---|---|---|
| Path that stays firm | Decomposed Granite | Compacts firm; use calculator for depth |
| Landscape beds | River Rock | 3 to 4 inches for weed suppression |
| Dry creek bed | 2-4" River Rock | Larger stones hold position in flow |
| Erosion control on a slope | 2-4" River Rock | Slows runoff and stays in place |
| French drain | Drain Rock | Clean, open-graded for water flow |
Lander sees about 15 inches of precipitation a year. That means water will drain through the surface rather than pond on top, but the choice of material still affects how well the ground sheds water. Open-graded materials like River Rock and Drain Rock let water pass quickly, while compacted surfaces like Decomposed Granite need good side drainage.
About 182 days a year drop below 32F. This long freeze-thaw cycle can heave shallow surfaces and shift loose gravel over time. Hard freezes shape the calendar here, so base work is easier to get right from late spring through fall. If you install in cold weather, the ground may not compact properly and frost can push stones out of position.
Winter brings about 44 inches of snow. Plowing and shoveling can push loose gravel off the driveway or path, so a compacted surface or larger river rock holds up better to scraping. The ground freezing here is deep and long, so the base layer needs to be thick enough to resist movement. Use the material calculators to find the right depth for your project.
Estimating how much gravel or rock you need starts with measuring the area in square feet and the depth you want. Multiply length by width by depth to get cubic feet, then convert to cubic yards. Gravel Monkey delivers by the ton, so you will need to convert volume to weight. The material calculators on this site do that conversion for you and give you the number of tons to order.

Gravel and rock often pair with other bulk materials for a complete job. These options can be delivered to the same address.
Yes. Lander gets about 15 inches of precipitation a year, and while that is not extreme, water still needs to move through or off the surface. Materials like Drain Rock and River Rock are graded to pass water, while compacted surfaces need good side drainage to avoid pooling.
Yes. With about 182 days a year below freezing, the ground goes through many freeze-thaw cycles. Loose gravel can get pushed around by frost heave, and installation during frozen ground is not recommended. Compacting in late spring through fall gives the best results.
Orders must be placed at least 3 business days before the delivery date. You choose the date at checkout and pick a morning or afternoon window. A valid phone number is required to confirm the delivery, and you will get an email with the final window.
