Crushed Gravel ordered online by the ton. A dump truck delivers to your Perryville address and unloads right where you point.
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.
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. |
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 |
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.
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.

Crushed gravel works well with other bulk materials. These items complement it for complete jobs.
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.

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.
