Crushed Gravel ordered online by the ton. A dump truck delivers to your Milton address and unloads right where you point.
Milton gets about 66 inches of precipitation a year. That much rainfall means drainage and washout planning are part of every crushed gravel job. The size you order determines how well the surface sheds water and supports a load.
Five sizes are stocked for delivery by the ton. Each is crushed and angular, with sharp edges that lock together under compaction. The choice comes down to the layer you are building and the traffic it will carry.
The most-ordered size is 3/4" Crushed Gravel. It works as a base course for drives, as a compacted surface on its own, and as a setting bed for pavers. The table below lists every size stocked, what it is for, and a note on its use.
| Product | Use | Note |
|---|---|---|
| 3/8" Crushed Gravel | fine compacting layer | Screeds smooth for a walking surface or paver base |
| 3/4" Crushed Gravel | the workhorse size for base and drives | Packs tight and handles cars, trucks, and equipment |
| 1" - 1 1/2" Crushed Gravel | structural base under heavy loads | Used under concrete or for commercial access roads |
| 1 1/2" Crushed Gravel | first lift over soft subgrade | Bridges weak soil before a finer surface goes on |
| 2"-3" Crushed Gravel | mud control and deep fill | Large stone that stabilizes boggy ground |
Choose the product and depth based on the load and the subgrade condition. The table below gives five common jobs and the size that works best for each.
| Project | What to order | Depth or note |
|---|---|---|
| Farm and site access road | 3/4" Crushed Gravel | 4 to 6 inches compacted |
| Trench backfill | 2"-3" Crushed Gravel | Fill to grade in lifts |
| Soft or muddy subgrade | 1 1/2" Crushed Gravel | First lift 6 inches |
| Shed or slab pad | 3/4" Crushed Gravel | 4 inches compacted |
| Compacted base | 3/8" Crushed Gravel | 2 to 3 inches final surface |
With about 79 days a year where at least a tenth of an inch falls, scheduling the delivery onto firm ground matters. The truck needs a stable approach, and the material needs dry weather to compact properly. Without a hard freeze to lift the surface, drainage and washout are what decide how long the material lasts.
Soils mapped in the Milton area are commonly somewhat excessively drained. That means less base stone is needed under the surface layer compared to heavy clay sites, but it guides how deep the first lift should be. The ground around Milton also soaks water up quickly and produces little runoff, so less drainage stone is needed underneath the crushed gravel.
About 21 days a year drop below 32 degrees Fahrenheit. That narrows the work window for winter jobs but the ground does not freeze significantly, so the base layer can be shallower than it would be in colder regions.
Tonnage depends on the area and the compacted depth. The material calculators let you enter your project dimensions and see the approximate tonnage for each crushed gravel size. Use the figures as a starting point before placing an order.
Buying is straightforward. You order online by the ton, and the delivered price is calculated at checkout from your ZIP code. A dump truck brings the load to your address, with loads ranging from 1 to over 40 tons. Free delivery is offered on qualifying orders, and the code FIRSTTIMER50 takes $50 off a first order.
The delivery date you choose at checkout must be at least 3 business days after the order date. You pick a window: morning, 7 am to 12 pm, or afternoon, 12 pm to 5 pm. A valid phone number is required to confirm the delivery, and you get an email confirmation when the order is placed, then a second email closer to the date with the scheduled window and a photo of the material being loaded. Delivery only goes ahead once you approve that second email. You agree to be available during the window.

Crushed gravel often goes on the same truck with other bulk materials. These are the products that Milton buyers commonly order together.
The delivery cost is calculated at checkout based on your ZIP code. Milton receives about 66 inches of precipitation per year, so drainage and washout should be part of your project planning, but that does not affect the price you see.
Soils in the Milton area are commonly somewhat excessively drained, which can reduce the amount of base stone needed under the surface layer. The ground also soaks water up quickly and produces little runoff, so less drainage stone is required underneath the crushed gravel.
The five sizes differ in particle diameter and how they perform under load. Smaller sizes like 3/8 inch compact into a tight surface, while larger sizes like 2 to 3 inches bridge soft ground and control mud. The right size depends on the subgrade and the traffic the area will see.
Yes. A contractor can place an order for a customer address. The delivery confirmation and approval process applies to whoever is listed as the contact for the delivery. The contractor must ensure someone is present during the window.
