Crushed Gravel ordered online by the ton. A dump truck delivers to your Browns Valley address and unloads right where you point.
If you are building a farm access road or a shed pad, crushed gravel gives you a stable base that drains well. The 3/4" Crushed Gravel works for most driveways, and the 1" - 1 1/2" Crushed Gravel handles heavier loads. Browns Valley gets about 33 inches of precipitation a year, so drainage and washout planning matter from the start.
Crushed gravel is angular and locks together under compaction. It does not shift like rounded river rock. Choose the size that matches the load your surface will carry.
Base material needs a larger, open-graded stone that lets water pass through. Finish material needs a smaller, tighter stone that stays in place. The table below lists every size you can order.
| Product | Best use | Note |
|---|---|---|
| 3/8" Crushed Gravel | Fine compacting layer | Works as a leveling course under pavers or as a top dress for paths. |
| 3/4" Crushed Gravel | The workhorse size for base and drives | Most common for residential driveways and parking areas. |
| 1" - 1 1/2" Crushed Gravel | Structural base under heavy loads | Used below concrete slabs or for commercial access roads. |
| 1 1/2" Crushed Gravel | First lift over soft subgrade | Provides a bridging layer that spreads weight before finer stone. |
| 2"-3" Crushed Gravel | Mud control and deep fill | Ideal for building up a soft area or for temporary roads on wet ground. |
The table below compares budget options against long-term performance. A deeper lift of larger stone costs more upfront but may reduce maintenance on soft ground.
| Project | What to order | Depth or note |
|---|---|---|
| Soft or muddy subgrade | 2"-3" Crushed Gravel as first lift | 12 to 18 inches to bridge the soft layer. |
| Compacted base for a drive | 3/4" Crushed Gravel | 4 to 6 inches after compaction. |
| Farm and site access road | 1" - 1 1/2" Crushed Gravel | 6 to 8 inches for heavy equipment. |
| Shed or slab pad | 3/4" Crushed Gravel over 1 1/2" Crushed Gravel | 4 inches of base, then 2 inches of finer stone. |
| Trench backfill | 3/4" Crushed Gravel or 1" - 1 1/2" Crushed Gravel | Compacted in 6-inch lifts. |
Without a hard freeze to lift the surface, drainage and washout are what decide how long the material lasts. Browns Valley has about 55 wet days a year, so scheduling the delivery onto firm ground helps avoid rutting. With only 23 freezing days a year, the ground does not heave much, but the soil still needs a stable base.
The ground around Browns Valley is in hydrologic group C, which means it takes water in slowly and sheds a fair amount across the surface. This behavior makes a deeper drainage layer earn its place. Crushed gravel with an open grading, like the 1" - 1 1/2" size, creates a path for water to escape.
Yuba County permitted about 692 single-family homes in 2024, and many of those sites need a reliable base. Regardless of the building type, the same rule applies: water management starts with the stone you choose.
To estimate tonnage, measure the length and width of your area in feet, multiply by the depth in inches, and divide by 12 to get cubic feet. Then use our material calculators to convert cubic feet to tons based on the specific product you are ordering. A rule of thumb is that one ton of 3/4" crushed gravel covers about 100 square feet at 2 inches deep.
