Crushed Gravel ordered online by the ton. A dump truck delivers to your Granby address and unloads right where you point.
Ground freezing here is deep and long. That means the base layer under any driveway, pad or road needs to be thick enough to resist frost heave and stay level through the winter.
Hard freezes shape the calendar here, so base work is easier to get right from late spring through fall. Plan your job for those months and you will have better compaction and drier ground.
The most-ordered crushed gravel size in Granby is 3/4" crushed gravel. It works for almost every base and driveway job. The other sizes each solve a specific problem.
| Product | Best use | Note |
|---|---|---|
| 3/8" Crushed Gravel | Fine compacting layer | Use it as a top dressing or under pavers. |
| 3/4" Crushed Gravel | The workhorse size for base and drives | Comes out of the truck ready to compact. |
| 1" - 1 1/2" Crushed Gravel | Structural base under heavy loads | Handles dump trucks and equipment traffic. |
| 1 1/2" Crushed Gravel | First lift over soft subgrade | Bridges weak spots before the finer layer. |
| 2"-3" Crushed Gravel | Mud control and deep fill | Great for wet areas where you need drainage. |
Match the job to the size and depth. Here is a quick guide for five common projects.
| Project | What to order | Depth or note |
|---|---|---|
| Soft or muddy subgrade | 2"-3" Crushed Gravel, then 3/4" Crushed Gravel | 6 to 8 inches total to stiffen the ground. |
| Compacted base | 3/4" Crushed Gravel | 4 to 6 inches after compaction. |
| Shed or slab pad | 3/4" Crushed Gravel, topped with 3/8" Crushed Gravel | 6 inches base, 2 inches finish. |
| Farm and site access road | 1" - 1 1/2" Crushed Gravel | 8 to 10 inches for heavy trucks. |
| Trench backfill | 3/4" Crushed Gravel | Fill and compact in lifts. |
Soils mapped in the Granby area are commonly poorly drained. That means water sits near the surface longer, so you will need a thicker layer of crushed gravel under the surface to keep the base dry and stable.
The ground around Granby also fits into dual hydrologic group A/D. Where it is drained it soaks up water quickly and produces little runoff. Where it is not, water takes a long time to soak in and most rain runs across the surface. Because of this, drainage and a deeper base matter more here than in many other places. Hard freezes make it worse: deep frost can lift a thin base. Plan for at least 6 to 8 inches of crushed gravel on any driveway or pad.
Grand County permitted about 212 single-family homes in 2024. New construction means new driveways, pads and access roads. Each one needs a solid crushed gravel base to handle the freeze-thaw cycle.
