Crushed Gravel ordered online by the ton. A dump truck delivers to your Clarksville address and unloads right where you point.
Crushed gravel is a manufactured aggregate, crushed and angular, not the rounded river rock some people expect. The distinction matters for compaction, drainage and load transfer. Clarksville gets about 51 inches of precipitation a year, so a surface that drains well and resists washout is critical here.
This is a contractor-grade material used for base layers, driveways and structural fill. The mix of fractured faces locks together under a roller, creating a stable platform that sheds water rather than holding it.
Not every size suits every job. The table below matches each product to its best use and a key note on where it falls short.
| Product | Best use | Note |
|---|---|---|
| 3/8" Crushed Gravel | Fine compacting layer | Too small for heavy traffic on its own; use as a top dressing over a base. |
| 3/4" Crushed Gravel | The workhorse size for base and drives | Spec for most residential driveways and slab pads. |
| 1" - 1 1/2" Crushed Gravel | Structural base under heavy loads | Not suitable for a finished surface; needs a smaller top layer. |
| 1 1/2" Crushed Gravel | First lift over soft subgrade | Too coarse for a walking surface; requires cap stone. |
| 2"-3" Crushed Gravel | Mud control and deep fill | Not for final grade; truck tracks until compacted. |
The table below pairs common Clarksville projects with the product that does the work. Depth notes assume standard compaction.
| Project | What to order | Depth or note |
|---|---|---|
| Shed or slab pad | 3/4" Crushed Gravel | 4 to 6 inches after compaction, depending on load. |
| Compacted base | 3/4" Crushed Gravel or 1" - 1 1/2" Crushed Gravel | 6 to 8 inches for a parking area. |
| Trench backfill | 1 1/2" Crushed Gravel | Fill to 6 inches below grade, then cap. |
| Farm and site access road | 1 1/2" Crushed Gravel for first lift, then 3/4" Crushed Gravel | 8 to 12 inches total over fabric. |
| Soft or muddy subgrade | 2"-3" Crushed Gravel as bridging layer | 12 inches minimum, covered with a finer size. |
Soils mapped in the Clarksville area are commonly well drained, which means less base stone is needed under the surface layer to manage moisture. Ground around Clarksville takes water in at a moderate rate, so standard base depth is usually enough to keep the structure stable through wet periods.
Clarksville sees about 70 days a year with at least a tenth of an inch of rain. Scheduling the delivery onto firm ground avoids rutting before you can spread and roll the stone. About 67 days a year drop below freezing, narrowing the work window and pushing the ideal installation to late spring or early fall.
Snowfall averages about 2 inches a year, but even that shallow cover can hide spring ruts from plowing a loose surface. Freeze and thaw cycles work on loose material all winter, which is the argument for the deeper first lift when installing over frost-susceptible subgrade. Moderate ground freezing here means the base layer should still be deep enough to stay below the frost line for heavy loads.
To estimate tonnage, multiply the length by the width by the depth in feet, then divide by about 15 to get tons for crushed gravel. That figure changes with compaction and moisture, so use our material calculators to get a number you can order by.

Start with the length, width and depth of the area in feet. For crushed gravel, divide the cubic feet by about 15 to get tons. Clarksville gets about 51 inches of precipitation a year, so allow an extra half inch of base depth in areas that stay wet.

3/4" Crushed Gravel is the most common size for residential driveways and slab pads in this area. It compacts well, locks together and handles light truck traffic without rutting.
