Crushed Gravel ordered online by the ton. A dump truck delivers to your Rockmart address and unloads right where you point.





Polk County has a growing number of properties that need a solid foundation for driveways, sheds, and access roads. Many property owners in Rockmart choose crushed gravel for its durable, angular shape that locks together under compaction. The area receives about 52 inches of precipitation a year, so drainage and washout planning matter when building with loose material. Crushed gravel drains well compared to rounded stone, which helps keep the surface stable through wet weather.
Whether you are laying a new base or topping a muddy lane, the right size of crushed gravel makes the difference. Gravel Monkey delivers each load by dump truck straight to your Rockmart address, with loads from one to over forty tons.
Crushed gravel comes in several sizes, from fine screening up to large fill stone. Each size serves a different part of the job, from a smooth top layer to a deep structural base. The table below lists the sizes we carry and what each one does best.
| Product | Best Use | Note |
|---|---|---|
| 3/8" Crushed Gravel | Fine compacting layer for patios and paths | Dust-free and compacts into a firm, level surface. |
| 3/4" Crushed Gravel | The workhorse size for base and drives | Locks together well for stable driveways and parking areas. |
| 1" - 1 1/2" Crushed Gravel | Structural base under heavy loads | Holds up to truck traffic and heavy equipment. |
| 1 1/2" Crushed Gravel | First lift over soft subgrade | Provides a stable platform before finishing with a smaller size. |
| 2"-3" Crushed Gravel | Mud control and deep fill | Ideal for overcoming wet, soft ground or large depressions. |
Crushed gravel solves several common problems around a property. The right size depends on the load and the condition of the ground. The table below shows which size to order for typical jobs.
| Project | What to Order | Depth or Note |
|---|---|---|
| Trench backfill | 3/4" Crushed Gravel | Use 4 to 6 inches for drainage and compaction. |
| Compacted base for a driveway | 3/4" Crushed Gravel | Spread 6 inches and compact in layers. |
| Shed or slab pad | 3/8" Crushed Gravel | 2 to 3 inches compacted under the slab. |
| Farm and site access road | 1" - 1 1/2" Crushed Gravel | 6 to 8 inches for heavy equipment traffic. |
| Soft or muddy subgrade | 2"-3" Crushed Gravel | Place 8 to 12 inches as a bridging layer. |
Rockmart sees about 68 days a year with temperatures below 32 degrees Fahrenheit. That freeze-thaw cycle can shift an unstable base, making compaction and drainage critical. A well-graded crushed gravel base resists frost heave better than rounded materials.
Snowfall is about 0 inches a year, so plowing damage to a loose surface is not a concern. Soils mapped in the Rockmart area are commonly well drained. This means you may need less base stone than on heavy clay ground, but each site is different. The ground around Rockmart is in hydrologic group B, which takes in water at a moderate rate. Standard base depths are usually enough to handle rainfall.
Work can run most of the year in this climate, which makes scheduling the delivery the easy part.
Estimating tonnage starts with measuring the area and deciding the depth. A cubic yard of crushed gravel weighs roughly 1.3 to 1.5 tons depending on the stone and moisture. Use our material calculators to convert square footage and depth into tons. The calculator handles different sizes and slab shapes.
