Crushed Gravel ordered online by the ton. A dump truck delivers to your Boonville address and unloads right where you point.
Crushed gravel in Boonville is available in several sizes, from fine 3/8" material to heavy 2"-3" fill. The right size depends on the project's load-bearing needs and the drainage required.
Soils mapped in the Boonville area are commonly poorly drained, which means a properly designed base layer matters more here than in well-drained areas. Planning for adequate base stone under the surface layer helps prevent settling and washout.
The 3/4" Crushed Gravel is the most popular size for base layers and driveways in Boonville. It compacts well and handles traffic from passenger vehicles to light trucks. For other uses, consider the sizes below.
| Product | Best use | Note |
| 3/8" Crushed Gravel | Fine compacting layer | Best for paths and top dressing where a smooth, compacted surface is needed. |
| 3/4" Crushed Gravel | The workhorse size for base and drives | Compacts into a stable, load-bearing base for driveways and parking areas. |
| 1" - 1 1/2" Crushed Gravel | Structural base under heavy loads | Used beneath concrete slabs or for roads that handle trucks and equipment. |
| 1 1/2" Crushed Gravel | First lift over soft subgrade | Provides a stable first layer that bridges soft spots and spreads the load. |
| 2"-3" Crushed Gravel | Mud control and deep fill | Ideal for farm access roads and boggy areas where you need a thick, open base. |
The table below matches typical projects to the crushed gravel size and the depth or lift sequence recommended for local conditions.
| Project | What to order | Depth or note |
| Shed or slab pad | 3/4" Crushed Gravel | Compact to 4 to 6 inches over prepared subgrade. |
| Trench backfill | 3/4" or 1" - 1 1/2" Crushed Gravel | Place in 6-inch lifts, compacting each layer. |
| Soft or muddy subgrade | 1 1/2" Crushed Gravel as first lift | Use as a bridging layer, then top with 3/4" for a working surface. |
| Compacted base | 3/4" Crushed Gravel | Spread 4 to 6 inches and compact to a firm, stable base. |
| Farm and site access road | 2"-3" Crushed Gravel | Place 6 to 8 inches for mud control and all-weather access. |
Soils mapped around Boonville are commonly poorly drained, and the ground falls in dual hydrologic group C/D. Where the soil is drained it takes water slowly; where it is not, it takes water very slowly, so most rain runs across the surface. This makes drainage and a deeper base layer more important than in areas with better natural drainage.
Boonville gets about 51 inches of precipitation a year, so washout planning is a real consideration. With about 78 wet days, scheduling the delivery onto firm ground helps avoid compaction issues from working saturated soil. About 90 days a year drop below freezing, narrowing the work window. Freeze and thaw cycles work on loose material all winter, which is the argument for the deeper first lift.
Snowfall averages about 11 inches a year, and plowing can damage a loose surface if it has not been top-dressed. Ground freezing here is real but moderate, meaning the base layer needs to be deep enough to handle some frost heave.
To estimate the tons of crushed gravel needed for your project, measure the length and width in feet and the desired depth in inches. Use our material calculators to convert those dimensions into tons for any size of crushed gravel.

The smallest load is one ton. With Boonville's average 51 inches of precipitation, you may need additional material for drainage layers, so a single ton often works for small paths or top-dressing.
Late spring through early fall offers the longest work window, as about 90 days a year drop below freezing. This gives you more time to properly grade and compact the material before winter freeze-thaw cycles begin.
Yes, a contractor can place the order on behalf of the customer. The contractor just needs to provide the delivery address and be available during the delivery window to accept the load.
Crushed gravel is not suitable for projects that require a smooth, rounded surface, such as decorative ponds or playgrounds where softer material is preferred. It is also not ideal for areas where drainage is already poor without an adequate base layer.
