Crushed Gravel ordered online by the ton. A dump truck delivers to your Lagrange address and unloads right where you point.
Many buyers order crushed gravel based on price alone, then find the material washes out or shifts under weight. The right size starts with the job's load and drainage needs, not the cheapest ton.
Lagrange gets about 53 inches of precipitation a year. That much rain means drainage and washout planning should guide your choice of gravel size and base depth, not just the surface look.
Crushed gravel is crushed and angular, which lets it lock together. We carry five sizes, from a fine compacting layer to deep fill for soft subgrade.
| Size | Best for | Note |
|---|---|---|
| 3/8" Crushed Gravel | Fine compacting layer | Works as a top dressing on drives and paths. |
| 3/4" Crushed Gravel | The workhorse size for base and drives | Handles light vehicles and pedestrian traffic. |
| 1" - 1 1/2" Crushed Gravel | Structural base under heavy loads | Ideal under concrete slabs and heavy equipment. |
| 1 1/2" Crushed Gravel | First lift over soft subgrade | Bridges weak spots before placing a finer layer. |
| 2"-3" Crushed Gravel | Mud control and deep fill | Best for boggy areas and deep ruts. |
For a budget job you can top with a thin finish layer later, use a single size. For a long-term installation, build a base with larger rock and cap it with a finer size.
| Project | What to order | Depth or note |
|---|---|---|
| Shed or slab pad | 3/4" crushed gravel base, topped with 3/8" crushed gravel | 4 to 6 inches total, compacted |
| Trench backfill | 1" - 1 1/2" crushed gravel | Fill in lifts of 6 to 8 inches |
| Compacted base | 3/4" crushed gravel | 4 inches, tamped in two layers |
| Farm and site access road | 1 1/2" crushed gravel, then 3/4" crushed gravel as surface | 8 to 12 inches total over soft ground |
| Soft or muddy subgrade | 2"-3" crushed gravel, then 1 1/2" crushed gravel | Choke the large rock with the smaller size |
About 76 days a year bring at least a tenth of an inch of rain. Scheduling a delivery onto firm ground means waiting for a dry stretch before the truck arrives.
Ground freezing is not a significant factor here, so the base layer does not need extra depth to counter frost heave. Without a hard freeze to lift the surface, drainage and washout are what decide how long the material lasts. Soils mapped in the Lagrange area are commonly well drained. That suggests less base stone may be needed under the surface layer, but always test your own ground.
About 60 days a year drop below 32F, but because snowfall averages about 0 inches a year, plowing damage to a loose surface is not a concern. The ground around Lagrange is in hydrologic group B, meaning water soaks in at a moderate rate. Standard base depth is usually enough for most projects.
Crushed gravel is sold by the ton. To estimate your tonnage, measure the area in square feet and multiply by the depth in inches, then use a conversion factor. Run the numbers through our material calculators to get a precise order.

It can. Soils mapped in the Lagrange area are commonly well drained, which means water moves through easily. With good drainage, you may need less base stone under the surface layer than you would on heavy clay. Always check your own soil before ordering.
No. Around 60 days a year drop below 32F, but ground freezing is not a significant factor here. That means you do not need extra base depth for frost protection, and you can order crushed gravel almost any month.
