Crushed Gravel we deliver in Perryville
Crushed Gravel in Perryville
Perryville gets about 53 inches of precipitation a year. That much rain means drainage and washout planning matter for any gravel surface you put down. You buy crushed gravel by the ton here, online, and we send a dump truck to your address on the day you pick.
Crushed gravel is angular and compactable. It locks together under weight and resists shifting. It is the material you reach for when you need a stable base, a firm drive, or a solid pad.
Crushed Gravel Products for Perryville
Not every crushed gravel size suits every job. Some are best for a compacted base, others for a wearing course or drainage help. Here are the sizes we carry, what each is for, and where they fall short.
| Product | Best for | Note |
|---|---|---|
| 3/8" Crushed Gravel | Fine compacting layer | Not suitable for deep fill or muddy ground; it works best as a top dressing or leveling course. |
| 3/4" Crushed Gravel | The workhorse size for base and drives | Not ideal for areas with heavy water flow; it can wash out without a drainage layer below. |
| 1" - 1 1/2" Crushed Gravel | Structural base under heavy loads | Not good as a final surface; the larger stone leaves an uneven, loose top. |
| 1 1/2" Crushed Gravel | First lift over soft subgrade | Not meant for shallow applications; you need at least 6 to 8 inches for it to work. |
| 2"-3" Crushed Gravel | Mud control and deep fill | Not for any compacted surface; it stays loose and is hard to walk or drive on. |
Which Crushed Gravel for Your Perryville Job
The table below matches common projects to the right crushed gravel size and a typical depth. These are starting points; your exact site conditions may change the depth.
| Project | What to order | Depth or note |
|---|---|---|
| Farm and site access road | 3/4" Crushed Gravel | 4 to 6 inches after compaction |
| Shed or slab pad | 3/4" Crushed Gravel | 4 inches compacted over a 2-inch sand bedding |
| Trench backfill | 1" - 1 1/2" Crushed Gravel | Fill in lifts, compacted every 8 inches |
| Soft or muddy subgrade | 1 1/2" Crushed Gravel | First lift of 8 to 12 inches, then cap with 3/4" |
| Compacted base | 3/4" Crushed Gravel | 4 to 6 inches, compacted in lifts |
Perryville Weather and Ground Conditions for Crushed Gravel
About 72 days a year bring at least a tenth of an inch of rain. Scheduling the delivery onto firm ground is smart, because a wet surface can rut under the truck and ruin the base before you spread. The ground around Perryville is in hydrologic group C, which means it takes water in slowly and sheds a fair amount across the surface. That adds weight to using a deeper drainage layer below your gravel.
About 69 days a year drop below 32F. Freeze and thaw cycles work on loose material all winter, which is the argument for the deeper first lift. Snowfall totals about 2 inches a year, but even that much can make a loose surface hard to plow without losing gravel. Frost penetration is real here but moderate, so the base layer depth should account for ground movement.
How Much Crushed Gravel You Need
Estimating tonnage starts with the area and the compacted depth. Crushed gravel weighs roughly 1.4 tons per cubic yard, but that varies by size and moisture. Use our material calculators to get a tonnage number for your Perryville project.

Other Materials to Pair with Crushed Gravel
Crushed gravel works well with other bulk materials. These items complement it for complete jobs.
- Fill Dirt, Use it under the gravel to build up low spots and create a stable subgrade.
- Sand, A sand bedding layer improves drainage and helps level the gravel above.
- Walkway Gravel, For paths, use a smaller, smoother gravel on top of a compacted crushed gravel base.
- Crushed Stone, Crushed stone is angular like crushed gravel but comes in cleaner, more uniform grades for drainage beds.
- Driveway Gravel, A dedicated driveway blend often combines crushed gravel with fines for a tight, dust-free surface.
- Crushed Concrete, A recycled alternative that compacts well and is cheaper per ton, good for base layers under crushed gravel.
Frequently Asked Questions about Crushed Gravel in Perryville
How many tons of crushed gravel do I need for my project?
The tonnage depends on the area and the compacted depth you need. Because about 69 days a year drop below 32F in Perryville, freeze-thaw cycles can move the ground, so a deeper base layer may be warranted. Use our material calculators to estimate your tonnage based on your measurements.
Do you deliver crushed gravel to Perryville and the surrounding area?
Yes, we deliver by dump truck to Perryville and nearby towns. About 72 days a year bring measurable rain, so we advise scheduling your delivery onto firm, dry ground. You choose the delivery window at checkout, and we confirm the date by email.
What is this material not suitable for?
Crushed gravel is not suitable for situations that need clean, rounded stone, such as French drains or decorative ground cover where a loose, uniform look is wanted. It also does not work well as a walking surface without compaction; it can be sharp and unstable when loose.
How is the delivery price calculated?
The delivery price is calculated at checkout based on your ZIP code. You then select a delivery date at least 3 business days out and choose a morning or afternoon window. No other pricing factors are published here; the checkout process shows the exact cost for your address.
