Contractors and homeowners order crushed gravel for different reasons. Contractors know the exact size and tonnage they need for each job.

Colorado Climate and Soil for Crushed Gravel
Annual precipitation across the cities we serve in Colorado runs from 12 to 21 inches. Freezing temperatures occur from 154 to 232 days a year, depending on elevation. Most of the state sits in the severe band for ground freezing. This means crushed gravel bases need to be deep enough to resist frost heave.
The soil in cities we deliver to is most often hydrologic group C or B. Group C soils drain slowly, group B drain well. The drainage class affects how much base material you need. Well-drained soil needs less base; slow-draining soil needs more depth to stay stable. Spring thaw is the wet part of the year for driveways, and it is when a thin base shows up as ruts.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do seasonal road restrictions in Colorado affect delivery?
Yes. Colorado has seasonal road restrictions in spring that can affect delivery timing. We schedule deliveries to comply with these restrictions. You will be informed of any adjustments.
What conditions across Colorado should change what I order?
The severe ground freezing across most of Colorado means your crushed gravel base should be deep enough to resist frost heave. Soil drainage also matters: group C soils drain slowly and need more base material than well-drained group B soils. Use our calculator to adjust your order.
How is crushed gravel measured and sold?
Crushed gravel is sold by the ton. A cubic yard of crushed gravel weighs about 1.3 to 1.5 tons depending on moisture and compaction. Our material calculators can convert your project dimensions into tons.
Is there a first-order discount?
Yes. Use the code FIRSTTIMER50 at checkout to receive $50 off your first order. This discount applies to qualifying orders.
