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







Laramie gets about 14 inches of precipitation a year. That means the ground stays dry for long stretches, but when it rains, the surface can run off fast. You need gravel and rock that handles that cycle without washing out or rutting.
Whether you are patching a lane, building a pad, or dressing up beds, the choice of material matters more in a climate like this. The right stone saves rework.
The most-ordered product here is crusher run, because it packs tight under everything from driveways to building pads. These other options cover the rest of the jobs.
| 3/8" Natural Pea Gravel | Play areas, patios | Rounded and smooth underfoot, but does not lock together. |
| River Rock | Beds, borders, dry creek beds | Multiple sizes available for a natural look that stays in place. |
| 2-4" River Rock | Larger decorative cover and erosion control | Heavy enough to hold on a slope where smaller rock would wash. |
| Drain Rock | French drains and dry wells | Clean, angular stone that lets water move through fast. |
| Decomposed Granite | Paths and patios that compact firm | Binds into a semi-solid surface with a natural sand look. |
| Crusher Run | Compacting base under everything | Fines and stone that lock into a rock-solid layer. |
| Road Base | Lanes and pads that carry trucks | Engineered for heavy loads and repeated freeze-thaw. |
Match the project to the product. Depth depends on the subgrade, but these are the typical picks.
| Project | What to order | Depth or note |
|---|---|---|
| Dry creek bed | River Rock or 2-4" River Rock | 4 to 6 inches; larger rock stays put in a flow. |
| Landscape beds | River Rock or 3/8" Natural Pea Gravel | 2 to 3 inches over landscape fabric. |
| French drain | Drain Rock | Wrapped in filter fabric; 6 to 12 inches around the pipe. |
| Path that stays firm | Decomposed Granite | 3 to 4 inches compacted, with a base of crusher run if the soil is soft. |
| Erosion control on a slope | 2-4" River Rock | 4 to 6 inches; the weight keeps it from sliding. |
About 212 days a year drop below freezing here. That deep, long frost pushes the ground up and pulls it down as it thaws, which puts stress on any hard surface. Ground that freezes deep moves as it thaws, which is why the base layer matters more here than the top layer. A thicker base of crusher run or road base gives the stone below the surface room to flex without cracking the top.
Laramie also gets about 70 inches of snow a year. Plowing that snow can scrape a loose surface thin, so a deeper top layer on driveways and walks saves you from having to top-dress every spring. Soils mapped in the area are commonly moderately well drained, meaning they let moisture through at a steady pace. On most lots that means you can get away with a standard base depth, but the ground around Laramie is in hydrologic group C, which takes water in slowly and sheds a fair amount across the surface. A deeper drainage layer under any gravel that gets foot or vehicle traffic earns its place here.
Tonnage depends on the area, the depth, and the specific stone density. Use our material calculators to plug in your dimensions and get a tonnage figure. The calculators also show how many cubic yards that translates to, which helps if you are comparing volumes.
You order online by the ton, choose your delivery window, and a dump truck brings the load to your Laramie address. Loads run from one ton up to 40 tons. Delivery is priced by ZIP code at checkout. We do not have a local yard; every load comes from a regional supplier matched to your order.
First-time buyers get $50 off with code FIRSTTIMER50. You pick a morning (7 am to 12 pm) or afternoon (12 pm to 5 pm) window at checkout. We confirm the order by email, then send a second email with the scheduled window and a photo of the material being loaded. The delivery goes ahead only after you approve that second email. A valid phone number is required; orders without one may be delayed. You or someone you name must be at the site during the window.

These materials often ship on the same order or go under or around the stone.
It depends on your square footage and the depth you choose. A typical 10-foot by 20-foot area at 3 inches deep needs about 1.5 tons of most materials. Use our online calculator for your exact dimensions. Laramie gets about 14 inches of precipitation a year, so a slightly deeper layer on slopes helps with surface runoff.
Delivery is priced by your ZIP code at checkout. We do not list flat rates because the distance from our nearest supplier and the load size both affect the price. The county permitted about 87 new single-family homes in 2024, which means trucks are already coming this way regularly and that keeps the delivery cost reasonable for most Laramie addresses.
Every material is sold by the ton. The weight per cubic yard varies by stone type: crushed stone is heavier per yard than river rock. Our calculators convert square footage and depth into tons. You order whole tons, and the load is weighed before it leaves the supplier.
No. You or someone you designate must be present during the delivery window. The driver needs a person to confirm the drop spot and to make sure the area is clear. If no one is there, a redelivery fee can apply and the order is not refunded.
Put crusher run on the base, river rock on top, or decompose granite on the path. The two most common jobs here are driveways that survive the frost and landscape beds that hold against the wind. Order online and the truck comes to your address. Start your order in Laramie.
