Crushed Gravel ordered online by the ton. A dump truck delivers to your New Plymouth address and unloads right where you point.
Crushed gravel is a crushed, angular stone that locks together under compaction. You buy it by the ton online, and Gravel Monkey arranges dump-truck delivery to your address in New Plymouth. New Plymouth gets about 10 inches of precipitation a year, so planning for drainage and washout keeps the surface stable.
Orders go through the website, and delivery is priced by ZIP code at checkout. You can also use the code FIRSTTIMER50 for $50 off your first order.
Each crushed gravel size serves a different purpose. The chart below lists the five sizes we offer. Angular and sharp-edged, crushed gravel locks together well and is not rounded like pea gravel.
| Product | Best Use | Note |
|---|---|---|
| 3/8" Crushed Gravel | Fine compacting layer | Good as a top dressing or under pavers where a smooth finish matters. |
| 3/4" Crushed Gravel | The workhorse size for base and drives | Compacts well for driveways and shed pads. |
| 1" - 1 1/2" Crushed Gravel | Structural base under heavy loads | Handles farm equipment and truck traffic. |
| 1 1/2" Crushed Gravel | First lift over soft subgrade | Bridges weak ground before topping with finer material. |
| 2"-3" Crushed Gravel | Mud control and deep fill | Used in wet spots or for building up low areas. |
The table below matches common projects around New Plymouth with the best crushed gravel size. Depth depends on the subgrade and load, but these serve as a starting point.
| Project | What to Order | Depth or Note |
|---|---|---|
| Shed or slab pad | 3/4" Crushed Gravel | Compacted base, 4 to 6 inches |
| Soft or muddy subgrade | 1 1/2" Crushed Gravel | First lift to stabilize, then top with 3/4" |
| Compacted base | 3/4" Crushed Gravel | Workhorse layer, compact in lifts |
| Farm and site access road | 1" - 1 1/2" Crushed Gravel | Structural base under heavy loads |
| Trench backfill | 2"-3" Crushed Gravel | Provides drainage and mud control |
New Plymouth gets about 10 inches of precipitation a year, which means runoff and drainage need to be part of the plan. About 34 days a year bring at least a tenth of an inch of rain, so scheduling a delivery onto firm ground takes some attention to the forecast. The ground here freezes on about 131 days a year, which shortens the work window and can push the ground surface as ice lenses form.
Snowfall averages about 10 inches a year. That can reach a loose surface and cause plowing damage, so a compacted top layer holds up better. Frost penetrates deep and stays long, so the base layer needs to be thick enough to resist frost heave. The soil around New Plymouth takes water in slowly and sheds a fair amount across the surface, which means a deeper drainage layer earns its place under drives and pads. Hard freezes shape the calendar here, so base work is easier to get right from late spring through fall.
Calculate the volume of your project area in cubic feet, then convert to tons. One ton of crushed gravel covers roughly 100 square feet at 2 inches deep, but that varies by size. Use our material calculators to get a precise tonnage before you order. The calculator works for any shape and any of our sizes.
Buying crushed gravel online is straightforward. You select the product and quantity, enter your ZIP code for delivery pricing, and choose a delivery date at checkout. The date must be at least 3 business days after you order. You pick a window: morning, 7 am to 12 pm, or afternoon, 12 pm to 5 pm. A valid phone number is required to confirm the delivery.
You get an email confirmation when the order is placed, then a second email closer to the delivery date with the scheduled window and a photo of the material being loaded. Delivery only goes ahead once you approve that second email. Someone 18 or older must be at the site during the window. The site needs a road width of at least 12 feet for the truck. If access is restricted, the crew unloads as close as safely possible.
