Crushed Gravel ordered online by the ton. A dump truck delivers to your Kokomo address and unloads right where you point.
Kokomo gets about 42 inches of precipitation a year. That makes drainage and washout planning an important part of any gravel project.
Crushed gravel is a versatile material that compacts well and handles heavy loads. It is a good choice for driveways, base layers, and paths in the local climate.
The most commonly ordered crushed gravel for Kokomo is 3/4" crushed gravel, which balances strength and workability. Other sizes serve specific jobs.
| Size | Best for | Note |
|---|---|---|
| 3/8" Crushed Gravel | fine compacting layer | Works well as a top layer under pavers or as a stable walking surface. |
| 3/4" Crushed Gravel | the workhorse size for base and drives | This is the go-to for most driveways and compacted base jobs. |
| 1" - 1 1/2" Crushed Gravel | structural base under heavy loads | Ideal where trucks or equipment will travel regularly. |
| 1 1/2" Crushed Gravel | first lift over soft subgrade | Provides a stable starting layer that bridges weak soil. |
| 2"-3" Crushed Gravel | mud control and deep fill | Used for deep fills, mud control, and reinforcing very wet areas. |
The table below shows what to order for common jobs in the area.
| Project | What to order | Depth or note |
|---|---|---|
| Soft or muddy subgrade | 1 1/2" Crushed Gravel | 6 to 8 inches as a base lift |
| Trench backfill | 3/4" Crushed Gravel | Compact in 6-inch lifts |
| Compacted base | 3/4" Crushed Gravel | 4 to 6 inches after compaction |
| Shed or slab pad | 3/8" Crushed Gravel | 3 to 4 inches as a fine leveling base |
| Farm and site access road | 1" - 1 1/2" Crushed Gravel | 6 to 8 inches of structural base |
About 80 days a year bring at least a tenth of an inch of rain. That means scheduling delivery onto firm ground matters to avoid rutting before the gravel is placed.
Roughly 130 days a year drop below 32F. That freeze-thaw cycle can shift loose gravel, so proper compaction and base depth are essential. The ground freezing here is deep and long, which adds to the need for a substantial base layer that resists frost heave. Hard freezes shape the calendar here, so base work is easier to get right from late spring through fall.
The ground around Kokomo is in dual hydrologic group C/D. Where the soil is drained it takes water in slowly and sheds a fair amount across the surface; where it is not, it takes water in very slowly so most rain runs across the surface. Drainage and a deeper base matter more here than elsewhere, but that depends on whether the site is already tiled or graded.
Your tonnage depends on the area you are covering and the depth you plan. Use our material calculators to get a quick estimate for any project size.

These materials often go on the same truck as crushed gravel for Kokomo jobs.
Yes. Soils mapped in the Kokomo area are commonly somewhat poorly drained. That means you may need a thicker base layer under the crushed gravel to prevent settling and washout compared to a well-drained site.
Kokomo gets about 23 inches of snowfall a year, which can affect winter delivery timing. The smallest load you can order is 1 ton, and loads go up to 40+ tons per delivery.
The delivery truck needs a road width of at least 12 feet. If access is tight, the crew will unload as close to the requested spot as they safely can. You are responsible for confirming the property can handle a heavy truck.
Order at least 3 business days ahead of your desired delivery date. You pick the date at checkout. During the busy spring and fall months, ordering a week or more ahead helps secure your preferred window.
