Crushed Gravel ordered online by the ton. A dump truck delivers to your Hinesville address and unloads right where you point.
Crushed gravel is sold by the ton, and a typical driveway or pad project uses several tons of material. Ordering by the ton means you pay for the weight you actually need, not by the bag or the scoop.
Hinesville gets about 52 inches of precipitation each year, so planning for drainage is an important part of any gravel project. Proper base preparation and adding a compacted layer of crushed gravel helps water move away from the surface.
Crushed gravel comes in several sizes, each designed for a specific layer in a compacted structure. The finest particles lock together for a smooth surface, while the largest chunks provide stability over soft ground. Here are the sizes you can order from Gravel Monkey.
| Product | Best for | Note |
|---|---|---|
| 3/8" Crushed Gravel | Fine compacting layer | Creates a dense, smooth surface for pathways and top dressing. |
| 3/4" Crushed Gravel | The workhorse size for base and drives | Compacts well under traffic and resists shifting over time. |
| 1" - 1 1/2" Crushed Gravel | Structural base under heavy loads | Provides a stable foundation for trucks and heavy equipment. |
| 1 1/2" Crushed Gravel | First lift over soft subgrade | Bridges weak soil and distributes weight before finer layers. |
| 2"-3" Crushed Gravel | Mud control and deep fill | Drains quickly and reinforces deep, soft areas. |
Each project needs a specific product to solve a problem. Here is how to match the size to the job.
| Project | What to order | Depth or note |
|---|---|---|
| Farm and site access road | 3/4" Crushed Gravel | Compacted in lifts for all-weather access. |
| Shed or slab pad | 3/8" Crushed Gravel | Fine layer that levels out before concrete or pavers. |
| Trench backfill | 1" - 1 1/2" Crushed Gravel | Angular particles lock together to prevent settling. |
| Compacted base | 3/4" Crushed Gravel | The standard base layer under drives and parking areas. |
| Soft or muddy subgrade | 1 1/2" Crushed Gravel | First lift that bridges the weak soil before topping. |
Hinesville has about 73 days a year with at least a tenth of an inch of rain, so scheduling delivery onto firm ground matters. If the ground is too wet when the truck arrives, the load may rut the subgrade before any gravel is placed.
About 21 days a year drop below 32F, which limits the work window for grading and compacting. The freeze-thaw cycle can shift an unstable base, so getting the gravel down and compacted before winter helps the surface last.
Soils mapped in the Hinesville area are commonly very poorly drained, so you may need more base stone under the surface layer to keep water from moving up. Where those soils are drained they soak up water quickly; where they are not, most rain runs across the surface. Drainage and a deeper base matter more here than in other areas. Frost is not the constraint here, so the calendar is driven by rain and by how wet the ground is.
To estimate tonnage, measure the length and width of the area in feet and decide the depth in inches. Multiply length times width times depth, then divide by a factor that accounts for compaction and the density of crushed gravel. Gravel Monkey offers material calculators on its website that do that math for you.
Buying crushed gravel from Gravel Monkey is done entirely online. You order by the ton, the delivery price is calculated by your ZIP code at checkout, and a dump truck brings the load to your address. Loads range from 1 to more than 40 tons. Use the code FIRSTTIMER50 at checkout to get $50 off your first order.
You choose a delivery window at checkout: morning from 7 am to 12 pm or afternoon from 12 pm to 5 pm. The delivery date must be at least 3 business days after the order date. 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. The delivery only goes ahead once you approve that second email. Someone must be at the site during the window to direct the driver and accept the load.

Crushed gravel works well alone, but you may also need these materials for the same property.
Yes. Ground freezing is not a significant factor here, so you do not need extra depth to protect against frost heave. But soils in the area are commonly very poorly drained, which means you may want a thicker base of crushed gravel to lift the surface above the water table. The exact depth depends on the site and the drainage conditions.
The best time is during a dry spell when the ground is firm enough to support the delivery truck and the grading equipment. Hinesville has about 73 wet days a year, so aim for a week with little rain in the forecast. Midsummer and early fall often offer the driest windows for getting the gravel placed and compacted.
Crushed gravel is not a substitute for concrete or asphalt on high-traffic roads. It can also track into the house if used as a top layer next to a building. For play areas or paths where you want a softer surface, crushed gravel may be too angular for bare feet.
Yes. A contractor can place the order and use the customer's address for delivery. The delivery window and confirmation process still apply, and someone must be on site to receive the load. The order can be placed under the contractor's account or the homeowner's.
