Crushed Gravel ordered online by the ton. A dump truck delivers to your Waimanalo address and unloads right where you point.
Crushed gravel is often confused with crushed stone, but both are crushed and angular. Crushed gravel comes from natural gravel deposits that are mechanically broken down, giving it a sharp, interlocking shape ideal for compaction.
With Honolulu County permitting about 706 single-family homes in 2024, reliable base material is in demand. A proper crushed gravel base prevents settling and keeps driveways and slabs stable for years.
Each size of crushed gravel has a specific job, and some are not right for every task. The table below lists what each product handles best and where it falls short.
| Product | Best for | Note |
|---|---|---|
| 3/8" Crushed Gravel | Fine compacting layer | Not for thick base layers; works as a bedding or top dressing. |
| 3/4" Crushed Gravel | The workhorse size for base and drives | Most versatile for residential driveways and shed pads. |
| 1" - 1 1/2" Crushed Gravel | Structural base under heavy loads | Too large for walking surfaces; use under concrete or asphalt. |
| 1 1/2" Crushed Gravel | First lift over soft subgrade | Separates the base from soft, wet ground below. |
| 2"-3" Crushed Gravel | Mud control and deep fill | Not a final surface; good for stabilizing soft areas. |
Different jobs need different gravel sizes. This table matches typical Waimanalo projects to the right product and suggested depth.
| Project | What to order | Depth or note |
|---|---|---|
| Compacted base | 3/4" Crushed Gravel | 4 to 6 inches |
| Farm and site access road | 2"-3" Crushed Gravel | 6 to 8 inches |
| Trench backfill | 3/4" Crushed Gravel | Depth depends on trench width |
| Soft or muddy subgrade | 1 1/2" Crushed Gravel | 6 inches |
| Shed or slab pad | 3/8" Crushed Gravel | 2 to 3 inches |
The ground around Waimanalo is in hydrologic group C, meaning it takes water in slowly and sheds a fair amount across the surface. A deeper drainage layer of crushed gravel earns its place by keeping water away from your base.
Honolulu County permitted about 706 single-family homes in 2024, a county figure that points to steady construction. Proper compaction of the gravel base prevents future settlement in new driveways, sheds and patios.
Order once the site is ready, because material sitting in the wrong spot gets moved twice.
Estimating tonnage starts with the area of your project and the depth of gravel you plan to use. Use our material calculators to convert cubic feet into tons and account for compaction loss. Cover at least the depth recommended for your job.

Tonnage depends on the area and depth. For example, the ground around Waimanalo takes in water slowly, so a 4 to 6 inch base is common for driveways. Use our online calculator to get an accurate estimate based on your measurements.

Crushed gravel is not suitable for use as a walking surface in bare feet because of its sharp edges. It also does not drain as freely as uniform round stone, so it is not ideal for French drains or areas that need fast water flow.
