Crushed Gravel ordered online by the ton. A dump truck delivers to your Saint Johns address and unloads right where you point.
The delivered cost of crushed gravel depends on the product, the tonnage, and how far it needs to travel. Gravel Monkey works with regional suppliers to get you the right material at a fair delivered price.
Crushed gravel locks together well and holds up under traffic. Because Saint Johns gets about 10 inches of precipitation a year, drainage and washout planning matters on every crushed gravel project.
No crushed gravel size works for everything. A layer that is too fine may rut under heavy loads, and a layer that is too coarse may not compact tight enough for a driveway. Choose the right size for your project from the table below.
| Product | Best For | Note |
|---|---|---|
| 3/8" Crushed Gravel | Fine compacting layer | Works well for paths and paver bases, but it is too fine for heavy vehicle traffic. |
| 3/4" Crushed Gravel | The workhorse size for base and drives | Handles cars and trucks well, but it is not recommended for walking surfaces. |
| 1" - 1 1/2" Crushed Gravel | Structural base under heavy loads | Provides stability for heavy equipment; too coarse to use as a finish layer. |
| 1 1/2" Crushed Gravel | First lift over soft subgrade | Bridges soft spots in subgrade, making it useful for the first lift but not as a top layer. |
| 2"-3" Crushed Gravel | Mud control and deep fill | Keeps trucks from sinking in mud; too large for any compacted surface. |
Different projects need different crushed gravel sizes. The table below matches common jobs in Saint Johns with the right product and installation depth.
| Project | What to Order | Depth or Note |
|---|---|---|
| Trench backfill | 3/4" Crushed Gravel | Compact in lifts of 4 to 6 inches |
| Soft or muddy subgrade | 1 1/2" Crushed Gravel | Place as first lift, then top with 3/4" |
| Shed or slab pad | 3/8" Crushed Gravel | 4 to 6 inches compacted |
| Compacted base | 1" - 1 1/2" Crushed Gravel | 6 to 8 inches for heavy loads |
| Farm and site access road | 2"-3" Crushed Gravel | First course, then cap with 3/4" |
Soils mapped in the Saint Johns area are commonly well drained. This usually means you need less base stone under the surface layer than in areas with clay soil. The ground around Saint Johns takes water in at a moderate rate, so a standard base depth is usually enough.
Saint Johns gets about 10 inches of precipitation a year, which affects drainage and washout planning. About 28 days a year bring at least a tenth of an inch of rain. Scheduling the delivery onto firm ground means watching the forecast. About 144 days a year drop below 32 degrees Fahrenheit. This affects the work window and how much the ground moves. About 13 inches of snowfall a year can cause plowing damage to a loose surface. Work can run most of the year in this climate, which makes scheduling the delivery the easy part.

Yes, winter conditions can affect delivery because about 144 days a year drop below 32 degrees Fahrenheit. However, Gravel Monkey works with suppliers to schedule deliveries when conditions are safe. If the ground is frozen, the delivery can proceed as long as the truck can access the site safely.
About 28 days a year bring at least a tenth of an inch of rain. Plan your delivery around these wet days to ensure the ground is firm enough for the truck. If the ground is muddy, the delivery may need to be rescheduled.
The right size depends on your project. For a base under heavy loads, use 1 to 1.5 inch crushed gravel. For a final driveway surface, 3/4 inch is a common choice. Our product table above can help you decide.
After you order, you choose a delivery window at checkout: morning (7 am to 12 pm) or afternoon (12 pm to 5 pm). You get an email confirmation, then a second email closer to the date with a photo of the material being loaded. You must approve that second email for the delivery to proceed. Someone must be present during the window.
