Crushed Gravel ordered online by the ton. A dump truck delivers to your Hobart address and unloads right where you point.
Crushed gravel for Hobart jobs comes in five sizes, and the size you pick sets how the material compacts and drains. The right choice saves a second lift or a failed base.
Hobart gets about 41 inches of precipitation a year, so drainage and washout planning matter from the first lift. Delivered crushed gravel lets you match the spec without a trip to a yard.
The most-ordered product for Hobart access roads and driveways is 3/4" crushed gravel. The other sizes handle everything from a fine top layer to deep fill over soft ground.
| Product | Best for | Note |
|---|---|---|
| 3/8" Crushed Gravel | Fine compacting layer | Works as a finish surface or a leveling course under pavers. |
| 3/4" Crushed Gravel | The workhorse size for base and drives | Handles car traffic and holds up to spring thaw without rutting. |
| 1" - 1 1/2" Crushed Gravel | Structural base under heavy loads | Used under concrete or for truck-accessible farm roads. |
| 1 1/2" Crushed Gravel | First lift over soft subgrade | Bridges weak soil and spreads load before a finer topping. |
| 2"-3" Crushed Gravel | Mud control and deep fill | Best for saturated areas or thickening a base without extra compaction passes. |
The table below matches common Lake County jobs to the right product and suggests a starting depth.
| Project | What to order | Depth or note |
|---|---|---|
| Farm and site access road | 3/4" Crushed Gravel | 6 inches compacted; refine with 3/8" if needed. |
| Soft or muddy subgrade | 1 1/2" Crushed Gravel | 8 to 10 inches as a bridging lift. |
| Shed or slab pad | 3/4" Crushed Gravel | 4 inches well compacted over geotextile. |
| Trench backfill | 1" - 1 1/2" Crushed Gravel | Fill in lifts, compact each 6-inch layer. |
| Compacted base | 3/4" Crushed Gravel | 4 to 6 inches, check for settling after rain. |
Hobart gets about 41 inches of precipitation a year, so drainage and washout planning matter from the start. With about 76 wet days annually, scheduling the delivery onto firm ground helps avoid a muddy mess.
About 125 days a year drop below 32F, and about 34 inches of snow fall each year. The freeze-thaw cycle can heave a thin base, and plowing can damage a loose surface. Spring thaw is the wet part of the year for driveways, and it is when a thin base shows up as ruts. Ground freezing here is deep and long, so the base layer needs to be thick enough to resist movement.
Soils mapped in the Hobart area are commonly well drained, which can reduce the amount of base stone needed under the surface layer. The ground around Hobart is in hydrologic group B, which means it takes water in at a moderate rate. That means standard base depth is usually enough for most residential and light commercial jobs.
Estimate tonnage by multiplying the length and width in feet by the depth in inches, then dividing by a factor that accounts for compaction and material type. Use our material calculators to get a close figure for any of the crushed gravel sizes.

Delivery cost depends on the tonnage you order and your ZIP code. The total is shown at checkout before you commit. Hobart gets about 41 inches of rain a year, so the base depth you choose could affect the total tonnage and therefore the final delivered price.
Soils mapped in the Hobart area are commonly well drained, which can mean you need less base stone under the surface layer than you would on heavy clay. The ground is in hydrologic group B, so it takes water in at a moderate rate, and standard base depth is usually enough for most projects.
Each size serves a different structural purpose. 3/8" crushed gravel is fine for a compacting top layer. 3/4" is the most common base and driveway material. 1" to 1 1/2" handles heavy loads. 1 1/2" works as a first lift over soft ground. 2"-3" is for mud control and deep fill. All are crushed and angular, so they lock together well.
