Crushed Gravel ordered online by the ton. A dump truck delivers to your Kayenta address and unloads right where you point.
Many buyers grab the first gravel they see without considering how the material locks together. Crushed gravel is angular and when compacted it forms a solid base that resists shifting. That makes it a smart choice for driveways and foundations.
Across Navajo County, about 451 single-family homes were permitted in 2024, so new driveways and foundations are being built regularly. Getting the right size and depth of crushed gravel from the start saves time and money.
Crushed gravel is divided between base materials that provide structural support and finish materials that create a smooth surface. The table below lists the options available for delivery to Kayenta.
| Product | Use | Note |
|---|---|---|
| 3/8" Crushed Gravel | fine compacting layer | Best for top dressing and walkways, it packs tight. |
| 3/4" Crushed Gravel | the workhorse size for base and drives | A reliable all-around choice for driveways and base layers. |
| 1" - 1 1/2" Crushed Gravel | structural base under heavy loads | Handles heavier traffic like farm trucks or equipment. |
| 1 1/2" Crushed Gravel | first lift over soft subgrade | Provides a stable starting layer on yielding ground. |
| 2"-3" Crushed Gravel | mud control and deep fill | Fills deep holes and improves drainage in wet areas. |
Choosing crushed gravel is a trade-off between upfront cost and long-term durability. The table below pairs common projects with the right product and depth to help you decide.
| Project | What to order | Depth or note |
|---|---|---|
| Farm and site access road | 3/4" Crushed Gravel | 6 to 8 inches after compaction |
| Compacted base | 3/4" Crushed Gravel | 4 to 6 inches |
| Soft or muddy subgrade | 1 1/2" Crushed Gravel | 8 to 12 inches first lift |
| Trench backfill | 2"-3" Crushed Gravel | Fill in lifts of 12 inches |
| Shed or slab pad | 3/8" Crushed Gravel | 4 inches compacted |
Winters here are cold enough to move an unsettled base, so compaction is worth the extra pass. A well-compacted base resists frost heave and stays level year after year.
For the same reason, it pays to install crushed gravel at the right depth for your project. Covering the base with a compacted layer of 3/4" crushed gravel keeps the surface solid even after freeze-thaw cycles.
To find out how many tons of crushed gravel you need, measure the length and width of the area in feet and multiply by the planned depth in inches. Use our material calculators to get an accurate tonnage estimate for your project.

Yes. The ground in Kayenta freezes moderately during winter, which can cause frost heave in a base that is too shallow. A deeper crushed gravel layer, typically 6 to 8 inches for driveways, prevents shifting and keeps the surface level.
Not normally. Across Navajo County, about 451 single-family homes were permitted in 2024, and delivery trucks serve active construction sites throughout the winter. You should still ensure the drop area is accessible.
The delivery truck needs a road or path at least 12 feet wide. If access is tight, the driver will get as close as safely possible. You are responsible for confirming the route can handle a heavy truck.
Depth depends on the project and the soil. For driveways over well-draining soil, 4 to 6 inches of compacted crushed gravel is common. For softer ground or areas near Kayenta with slow drainage, go deeper. Use our material calculators to estimate tonnage for your depth.
Alongside crushed gravel, Gravel Monkey delivers fill dirt, mulch, and topsoil to Kayenta addresses. These materials help finish the job, from raising low spots to landscaping around the new base. Visit the Kayenta hub page to see all available materials.
