Crushed Gravel ordered online by the ton. A dump truck delivers to your Port Saint Lucie address and unloads right where you point.
If you are building a driveway or a shed pad in Port Saint Lucie, crushed gravel is a reliable base material. Two common sizes are 3/4" Crushed Gravel for the main base and 3/8" Crushed Gravel for the top compacting layer. Port Saint Lucie gets about 60 inches of precipitation a year, so drainage and washout planning are important when choosing the right depth and gravel type.
This page helps you match the right crushed gravel size to your project and understand how local conditions affect your choice.
The difference between a base material and a finish material comes down to size and compaction. Larger crushed gravels lock together for structural support, while smaller ones compact into a smooth surface. Below are the sizes we deliver.
| Product | Best for | Note |
|---|---|---|
| 3/8" Crushed Gravel | Fine compacting layer | Use as a top dressing over a larger base for a firm finish. |
| 3/4" Crushed Gravel | The workhorse size for base and drives | Versatile for driveways, paths, and under slabs. |
| 1" - 1 1/2" Crushed Gravel | Structural base under heavy loads | Ideal for commercial or heavy residential use. |
| 1 1/2" Crushed Gravel | First lift over soft subgrade | Starts a stable base where the ground is weak. |
| 2"-3" Crushed Gravel | Mud control and deep fill | Handles wet areas and fills large depressions. |
Choosing between a budget option and a long-term option often depends on the project. The table below shows crushed gravel choices for five common jobs.
| Project | What to order | Depth or note |
|---|---|---|
| Shed or slab pad | 3/8" Crushed Gravel over 3/4" Crushed Gravel | 4 to 6 inches total; compact each layer. |
| Soft or muddy subgrade | 1 1/2" Crushed Gravel as first lift | Starts at 6 inches; adjust based on soil. |
| Farm and site access road | 3/4" Crushed Gravel or 1"-1 1/2" Crushed Gravel | 6 to 8 inches compacted, crown for drainage. |
| Compacted base for pavers or concrete | 3/4" Crushed Gravel | 4 to 6 inches, well compacted. |
| Trench backfill | 3/4" Crushed Gravel or 1"-1 1/2" Crushed Gravel | Fill in lifts of 8 to 12 inches. |
Port Saint Lucie gets about 60 inches of rain a year, which means drainage and washout planning are critical for any crushed gravel job. There are about 84 wet days a year with at least a tenth of an inch, so scheduling the delivery onto firm ground is important. A truck needs a firm surface to reach the drop point, and the compacted base should shed water rather than trap it.
Soils mapped in the Port Saint Lucie area are commonly poorly drained, so more base stone may be needed under the surface layer. The ground is in dual hydrologic group C/D: where it is drained it takes water in slowly and sheds a fair amount across the surface, and where it is not drained it takes water in very slowly so most rain runs off. This means drainage and a deeper base matter more here than in many other locations. Plan the delivery around dry ground: a truck needs a firm surface to reach the drop point.
Freezing days are rare, with about 1 day a year dropping below 32F. That freeze does not affect the crushed gravel itself, so the work window is essentially year-round.
To estimate the tonnage you need, measure the length and width of the area and decide the depth. Use our material calculators to convert cubic feet to tons and see how many tons each size covers at your chosen depth.
