Crushed Gravel we deliver in Heyburn
Crushed Gravel in Heyburn
Crushed gravel and crushed stone are often used interchangeably, but they are not the same. Both are crushed and angular, but crushed gravel comes from natural gravel deposits. That difference can affect how the material drains and compacts in Heyburn's conditions.
Heyburn gets about 11 inches of precipitation a year, so drainage planning matters when you put down a base. The angular edges of crushed gravel lock together well, reducing washout under your surface.
Crushed Gravel Options for Heyburn Jobs
Not every job needs the same size. A 3/8" crushed gravel is too fine for a driveway base, while a 2"-3" size is overkill for a walkway. Here are the sizes we deliver by the ton.
| Product | Use | Note |
|---|---|---|
| 3/8" Crushed Gravel | Fine compacting layer | Good under pavers or as a top dressing. |
| 3/4" Crushed Gravel | The workhorse size for base and drives | Handles typical car and truck traffic well. |
| 1" - 1 1/2" Crushed Gravel | Structural base under heavy loads | Use for farm equipment or large vehicles. |
| 1 1/2" Crushed Gravel | First lift over soft subgrade | Helps bridge the weak soil before finer layers. |
| 2"-3" Crushed Gravel | Mud control and deep fill | For deep fills and areas that stay wet. |
Matching Crushed Gravel to Your Project in Heyburn
Think about the surface you are building and the ground underneath. The table below shows which product works for common jobs.
| Project | What to order | Depth or note |
|---|---|---|
| Shed or slab pad | 3/4" Crushed Gravel | Compacted 4 to 6 inches deep. |
| Soft or muddy subgrade | 1 1/2" Crushed Gravel | First lift 6 to 8 inches, then cap with 3/4". |
| Trench backfill | 3/4" Crushed Gravel | Fill in lifts and compact. |
| Compacted base | 1" - 1 1/2" Crushed Gravel | 4 to 6 inches, compacted in layers. |
| Farm and site access road | 2"-3" Crushed Gravel | 6 to 12 inches, depending on traffic. |
How Heyburn's Weather and Ground Affect Your Crushed Gravel Job
Hard freezes shape the calendar here, so base work is easier to get right from late spring through fall. With about 157 days a year dropping below 32F, the ground freezes deep and long. That frost forces you to place the base layer thick enough to stay stable when the ground heaves.
Heyburn gets about 34 wet days a year, when at least a tenth of an inch of rain falls. Scheduling your delivery onto firm ground avoids rutting. Snowfall of about 24 inches a year means plowing can loosen a surface that is not well compacted.
Soils mapped in the Heyburn area are commonly somewhat poorly drained. When you build on such ground, you may need more base stone under the surface layer to keep water from softening the subgrade. The ground around Heyburn takes in water at a moderate rate, so the standard base depth is usually enough, but always account for the specific site.
Figuring Out How Many Tons of Crushed Gravel You Need
Estimating tonnage depends on the area and depth you plan to cover. Our material calculators can help you convert square footage to tons for the exact size you choose.

Frequently Asked Questions About Crushed Gravel in Heyburn
How many wet days a year should I plan a crushed gravel delivery around in Heyburn?
Plan around the 34 wet days a year when at least a tenth of an inch of rain falls. Scheduling delivery onto firm, dry ground prevents the truck from rutting the subgrade. Check the forecast and aim for a stretch of dry weather.
Does the ground in Heyburn freeze hard enough to change when I should order?
Yes, with about 157 freezing days a year, the ground freezes deep and long. Base work is easier from late spring through fall, when the ground is thawed and workable. Ordering during the warm months gives you the best compaction and stability.
Do you deliver to rural addresses outside the city limits?
We deliver by dump truck to any address that a truck can safely reach. Your site needs a road width of at least 12 feet for access. We serve all addresses in the Heyburn area, including rural locations.
What size crushed gravel should I choose?
The size depends on the job. For a driveway base under typical cars, 3/4" crushed gravel works well. For muddy or soft subgrade, start with 1 1/2" as a base lift. Use 2"-3" for deep fill or heavy traffic areas.
