|---|---|---|
| 3/8" Crushed Gravel | Fine compacting layer | Works as a top dressing for pathways and under pavers. |
| 3/4" Crushed Gravel | The workhorse size for base and drives | Balances compaction and drainage for most driveways. |
| 1" - 1 1/2" Crushed Gravel | Structural base under heavy loads | Designed for truck traffic and equipment sheds. |
| 1 1/2" Crushed Gravel | First lift over soft subgrade | Creates a stable platform on yielding ground. |

Across the cities Gravel Monkey delivers to in Delaware, annual precipitation runs from about 47 to 48 inches. That consistent rainfall means the ground stays moist through much of the year, so a well-draining base matters more than in drier regions.
Freezing days range from about 79 to 96 a year below 32F, depending on location. Most of the state sits in the moderate band for ground freezing. Winters here are cold enough to move an unsettled base, so compaction is worth the extra pass. Frost action can lift a poorly compacted layer, so proper base depth and drainage are key.
The most common soil hydrologic groups across Delaware's served cities are A and B, which drain relatively well. That reduces the base depth needed compared with heavy clay soils, but a 4 to 6 inch crushed gravel base is still standard for driveways and pads.

Crushed gravel is sold by the ton. To figure out the weight you need, multiply the length, width, and planned depth of your area in feet. Divide that cubic footage by about 15 to 17 for crushed gravel, depending on the size, to get tons. Use Gravel Monkey's material calculators to get an exact estimate.

Delaware receives about 47 to 48 inches of rain per year, which can soften road shoulders during spring thaw. Gravel Monkey routes around seasonal load restrictions to keep your delivery on schedule.
Delaware experiences 79 to 96 freezing days per year, so frost heave is a real concern. Ordering a deeper base of crushed gravel, such as 6 to 8 inches instead of 4, helps prevent movement. The common soil groups A and B drain well, but adding extra base depth is still wise in areas with more frost.
