Crushed Gravel ordered online by the ton. A dump truck delivers to your Stuart address and unloads right where you point.
Stuart receives about 61 inches of precipitation each year. That much rain means drainage is a serious concern for any gravel surface. Crushed gravel is a smart choice because its angular particles lock together and let water pass through.
Stable, well-drained gravel holds up better in heavy rain. Whether you are building a drive, a shed pad, or an access road, crushed gravel gives you a base that sheds water instead of holding it.
The most commonly ordered crushed gravel for general use is the 3/4" size. It works for driveways, base layers, and compacted fills. The other sizes cover lighter surfacing and heavy structural jobs.
| Product | Best For | Note |
|---|---|---|
| 3/8" Crushed Gravel | Fine compacting layer | Used as a top dressing or under pavers where a smooth finish is needed. |
| 3/4" Crushed Gravel | The workhorse size for base and drives | Angular, clean material that compacts well for residential and light commercial use. |
| 1" - 1 1/2" Crushed Gravel | Structural base under heavy loads | Ideal for roads and parking areas that see repeated truck traffic. |
| 1 1/2" Crushed Gravel | First lift over soft subgrade | Provides a thick, stable foundation before adding a finer wearing course. |
| 2"-3" Crushed Gravel | Mud control and deep fill | Large stone used to bridge soft spots and stabilize wet areas. |
The table below matches common Stuart-area projects with the right crushed gravel size and a recommended depth.
| Project | What to Order | Depth or Note |
|---|---|---|
| Farm and site access road | 1" - 1 1/2" Crushed Gravel | 6 to 8 inches, then a 3/4" top course |
| Soft or muddy subgrade | 2"-3" Crushed Gravel | 8 to 12 inches to bridge the soft layer |
| Compacted base | 3/4" Crushed Gravel | 4 to 6 inches, compacted in lifts |
| Shed or slab pad | 3/8" Crushed Gravel | 3 to 4 inches for a smooth, compacted surface |
| Trench backfill | 1 1/2" Crushed Gravel | Fill in lifts, compact each layer |
Soils mapped in the Stuart area are commonly moderately well drained. That means surface water does not sit for long, but you still need a stable base. The ground around Stuart is in hydrologic group A, which soaks water up quickly and produces little runoff. Because water moves through the soil fast, you usually need less drainage stone under the surface layer than you might in heavier clay soils.
About 92 days a year bring at least a tenth of an inch of rain. Plan your delivery for firm ground. The ground does not freeze much here: only about 1 day a year drops below 32 degrees Fahrenheit. That limited freeze-thaw cycle means less heaving and a longer work window for gravel projects. Order once the site is ready, because material sitting in the wrong spot gets moved twice.
You estimate tonnage by calculating the volume of your project area and multiplying by the material's density. Our material calculators take the guesswork out by letting you input dimensions and picking the product. Use them before placing an order so you get the right amount the first time.
Ordering is straightforward. You select the product, choose a quantity by the ton, and enter your ZIP code to see the delivery price at checkout. Loads run from one ton up to 40-plus tons per truck. First-time customers can use the code FIRSTTIMER50 for $50 off their first order.
Your delivery date must be at least 3 business days after the order date. You choose a morning or afternoon window. A valid phone number is required, and you get an email confirmation followed by a second email with the scheduled window and a photo of the loaded material. You must approve that second email before delivery proceeds.
You or someone you nominate must be at the site during the delivery window. The truck needs a road width of at least 12 feet. If access is restricted, the crew unloads as close to the requested spot as safely possible. For more details, see our delivery information page.

Delivery cost is calculated by your ZIP code at checkout. No two locations have the same rate, so the exact price shows when you enter your address. The price covers the dump truck bringing the load to your site.
The soil in the Stuart area is in hydrologic group A, which means water moves through it quickly. That fast drainage reduces the amount of base stone needed under the surface layer. A standard depth of 4 to 6 inches is usually enough for most residential projects.
