Crushed Gravel ordered online by the ton. A dump truck delivers to your Port Orange address and unloads right where you point.
Contractors and homeowners here buy crushed gravel differently. A contractor often orders by the truckload for a planned base or driveway, while a homeowner might need a smaller amount for a shed pad or walkway. Port Orange gets about 52 inches of precipitation a year, which makes drainage planning important for any project.
Crushed gravel is angular stone that locks together under compaction, making it a stable base for driveways, paths and foundations. Whether you need a few tons or a full load, Gravel Monkey delivers by dump truck to your Port Orange address.
Crushed gravel comes in several sizes, from fine to large. Each size suits a different purpose. The table below lists the options we carry.
| Size | What it is for | Note |
|---|---|---|
| 3/8" Crushed Gravel | fine compacting layer | Use as a top dressing or under pavers for a smooth finish. |
| 3/4" Crushed Gravel | the workhorse size for base and drives | Best all-around size for driveways and parking areas. |
| 1" - 1 1/2" Crushed Gravel | structural base under heavy loads | For foundations and areas that need to support heavy trucks. |
| 1 1/2" Crushed Gravel | first lift over soft subgrade | Use when the ground is soft and needs extra support. |
| 2"-3" Crushed Gravel | mud control and deep fill | For wet spots or filling deep holes that need drainage. |

Soils mapped in the Port Orange area are commonly excessively drained. This means water moves through the ground quickly, which can reduce the need for extra drainage stone under the surface layer. The ground around Port Orange is in hydrologic group A, which soaks water up quickly and produces little runoff. Less drainage stone is needed under the surface.
Port Orange gets about 52 inches of precipitation a year, with about 79 days bringing at least a tenth of an inch of rain. That many wet days means scheduling the delivery onto firm ground matters. Plan the delivery around dry ground: a truck needs a firm surface to reach the drop point. Only about 3 days a year drop below 32F, so freeze-thaw cycles are not a major concern for ground movement.
To estimate the amount of crushed gravel for your project, measure the area in square feet and multiply by the desired depth in inches. Then use our material calculators to convert volume to tons. The calculator accounts for compaction and material density.
