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







A load of gravel and rock in Powell starts the same way every time: you order online by the ton, choose your delivery window at checkout, and a dump truck brings it to your address. Loads typically run from one ton to forty-plus tons, and delivery is priced by ZIP code when you enter your address.
Powell gets only about 7 inches of precipitation a year, so drainage planning for gravel and rock projects centers on handling the water that does fall. That makes the base layer and the material choice just as important as the surface look.
Each gravel and rock product has a specific job. Choose the wrong one and you get washout, rutting or a surface that never compacts. Here is what each product handles and what it is not suited for.
| 3/8" Natural Pea Gravel | play areas, patios, rounded and smooth | Works best where a soft underfoot and drainage matter, but it does not lock together for driveways. |
| River Rock | beds, borders, dry creek beds | Decorative but loose, so it does not suit paths that need to stay firm underfoot. |
| 2-4" River Rock | larger decorative cover and erosion control | Good for steep slopes where smaller rock washes away; too large for flat patios. |
| Drain Rock | French drains and dry wells | Clean, angular stone that lets water pass; not meant for exposed surfaces. |
| Decomposed Granite | paths and patios that compact firm | Compacts into a hard surface, but it needs a stable base and does not handle heavy vehicle traffic. |
| Crusher Run | compacting base under everything | The all-purpose base material; it is not decorative and stays hidden after installation. |
| Road Base | lanes and pads that carry trucks | Engineered for load-bearing; overkill for a light garden path. |
The table below matches common Powell projects to the gravel and rock product that works best for each one. Depths are starting points; adjust based on use and ground conditions.
| Project | What to order | Depth or note |
| French drain | Drain Rock | 6 to 8 inches of rock around a perforated pipe; wrap in filter fabric. |
| Path that stays firm | Decomposed Granite | 3 to 4 inches compacted over a 4-inch crusher run base. |
| Landscape beds | River Rock | 2 to 3 inches deep; keep away from heavy traffic areas. |
| Erosion control on a slope | 2-4" River Rock | 4 to 6 inches on a 6-inch slope; use larger rock to resist washout. |
| Dry creek bed | River Rock or 2-4" River Rock | 3 to 4 inches deep; line with filter fabric first. |
Powell gets about 7 inches of precipitation a year, which is dry enough that drainage design often gets overlooked. But the water that does fall has to go somewhere. Gravel and rock surfaces on a slope or in a depression need a drainage layer that moves water laterally away from the base.
Only about 20 days a year bring at least a tenth of an inch of rain, so you can usually pick a dry window for delivery. The bigger factor is cold: roughly 187 days a year drop below 32F. Hard freezes shape the calendar here, so base work is easier to get right from late spring through fall. A base placed on thawing ground will shift, and a surface laid before the ground settles will need reworking.
Snowfall averages about 13 inches a year. Plowing that snow can push loose gravel into piles or scrape the surface off a compacted path. Ground freezing in Powell is deep and long, so the base depth matters more than in warmer climates. You need enough sub-base material to sit below the frost line.
The soil around Powell takes water in slowly and sheds a fair amount across the surface. That means any compacted gravel or rock project benefits from a deeper drainage layer than the material depth alone suggests. Crusher run and drain rock are common choices to handle that.
The amount of gravel and rock your project takes depends on the area, the depth and the compaction factor. Use the material calculators on this site to enter your dimensions and get a tonnage estimate. That number tells you what to order and how the delivery will be priced at checkout. Every project is different, so the calculator is the fastest way to a reliable number.

Only about 20 days a year bring at least a tenth of an inch of rain. Plan your delivery for a dry stretch and make sure the ground is firm enough to support the truck. The delivery window you choose at checkout gives you some flexibility.
Yes. Roughly 187 days a year stay below freezing, and deep ground frost can make site access difficult. Hard freezes mean base work is best done from late spring through fall, but deliveries still happen in winter if the site is accessible and the ground is firm.
The size depends on your project. Small rounded rock like 3/8" Natural Pea Gravel suits walkways, while larger 2-4" River Rock works for erosion control. For a compacted base, choose angular crusher run or road base.
