Crushed Gravel ordered online by the ton. A dump truck delivers to your Stuttgart address and unloads right where you point.
The delivered cost of crushed gravel comes down to weight and distance, not the material itself. In Stuttgart, the specific size and depth you choose matter more because of the local climate.
Stuttgart gets about 51 inches of precipitation a year. That rainfall drives the need for careful drainage and washout planning in any gravel installation.
Each size is designed for a specific use, but knowing what it is not suited for helps you avoid a poor result.
| Product | Best for | Note |
|---|---|---|
| 3/8" Crushed Gravel | Fine compacting layer | Not for driveways with heavy trucks; it can push under load. |
| 3/4" Crushed Gravel | The workhorse size for base and drives | Not for soft subgrades without a larger first lift. |
| 1" - 1 1/2" Crushed Gravel | Structural base under heavy loads | Not for thin layers; needs depth to lock together. |
| 1 1/2" Crushed Gravel | First lift over soft subgrade | Not for finishing; leaves a rough, open surface. |
| 2"-3" Crushed Gravel | Mud control and deep fill | Not for pedestrian areas; needs heavy compaction equipment. |
Match your project type to the right crushed gravel size for a stable, long-lasting result.
| Project | What to order | Depth or note |
|---|---|---|
| Trench backfill | 1" - 1 1/2" Crushed Gravel | Allows drainage and compacts well in lifts. |
| Shed or slab pad | 3/4" Crushed Gravel | Provides a compacted base for concrete or wood. |
| Farm and site access road | 2"-3" Crushed Gravel | Controls mud and supports heavy equipment. |
| Soft or muddy subgrade | 1 1/2" Crushed Gravel | First lift to stabilize before a finer top layer. |
| Compacted base | 3/8" Crushed Gravel | Final compacting layer for leveling and parking areas. |
Stuttgart experiences about 50 freezing days a year when temperatures drop below 32F. Freeze and thaw cycles work on loose material all winter, which is the argument for the deeper first lift.
With around 67 wet days a year, you need to schedule the delivery onto firm ground. That way the truck can spread the load without rutting the site.
The ground around Stuttgart is in hydrologic group D, meaning it takes water in very slowly, so most rain runs across the surface. That runoff behavior means drainage and a deeper base matter more here than elsewhere. Soils in the area are commonly somewhat poorly drained, so more base stone under the surface layer is typical guidance for the area, though your specific soil may differ.
Volume determines the tonnage. Measure the area in square feet and multiply by the desired depth in feet to get cubic feet. Convert that to tons using the material's density, which varies by product. Use our material calculators to estimate the exact tonnage for your project.

Plan around the 67 days a year that bring at least a tenth of an inch of rain. Scheduling the delivery onto firm ground avoids compaction issues and keeps the job on track.
Stuttgart sees about 50 days a year below freezing. That freeze-thaw can cause heave in an unstable base, so deeper lifts are recommended when freezing is expected.
Yes, we deliver to rural addresses as long as the access road is at least 12 feet wide and the site can be reached by a dump truck. Choose your delivery window at checkout and we will confirm.
Refer to the product table and job table above for guidance. For most driveways, 3/4" Crushed Gravel works well; for drainage, use 1" to 1 1/2". The right size depends on the load and subgrade.
