Crushed Gravel ordered online by the ton. A dump truck delivers to your Logansport address and unloads right where you point.
Building a driveway or a pad for a shed in Logansport starts with a base that stays put through wet springs and freeze-thaw cycles. Two crushed gravel sizes you will see again and again are 3/4" Crushed Gravel for the main base and 3/8" Crushed Gravel for a level top course.
Logansport gets about 41 inches of precipitation a year, so the base has to shed water rather than hold it. Angular, crushed stone locks together and leaves voids that let moisture drain instead of pooling beneath the surface.
The difference between a base layer and a finish layer comes down to particle size and how tightly the stone packs. Here are the sizes Gravel Monkey supplies for delivery to a Logansport address.
| Product | Best use | Note |
|---|---|---|
| 3/8" Crushed Gravel | Fine compacting layer | Packs smooth for a finished walking or driving surface. |
| 3/4" Crushed Gravel | The workhorse size for base and drives | Holds up under passenger cars and light trucks year after year. |
| 1" - 1 1/2" Crushed Gravel | Structural base under heavy loads | Built for dump trucks, tractors and equipment traffic. |
| 1 1/2" Crushed Gravel | First lift over soft subgrade | Bridges weak spots before a finer size goes on top. |
| 2"-3" Crushed Gravel | Mud control and deep fill | Stops tires from sinking when the ground stays wet. |
For a long-term driveway you plan to keep, a two-layer build with a coarse bottom and a finer top costs more upfront but lasts. For a budget access road or a temporary pad, a single lift of 3/4" Crushed Gravel does the job.
| Project | What to order | Depth or note |
|---|---|---|
| Compacted base | 3/4" Crushed Gravel | 4 to 6 inches compacted, then 3/8" on top for a smooth finish. |
| Farm and site access road | 1" - 1 1/2" Crushed Gravel | 6 to 8 inches deep for loaded truck traffic. |
| Soft or muddy subgrade | 2"-3" Crushed Gravel | Place directly on mud, then cover with 3/4" stone. |
| Trench backfill | 3/4" Crushed Gravel | Compacts well around pipes and conduit without settling. |
| Shed or slab pad | 3/8" Crushed Gravel | 2 to 3 inches compacted, then pour concrete or set blocks. |
Spring thaw is the wet part of the year for driveways, and it is when a thin base shows up as ruts. About 77 days a year bring at least a tenth of an inch of rain, so scheduling a delivery onto firm, dry ground is important to keep the truck from sinking and the stone from mixing with mud.
About 130 days a year drop below 32F, and ground freezing in the Logansport area is deep and long. That freeze-thaw cycle pushes a base upward if the stone layer is not thick enough to resist frost heave. A deeper crushed gravel base puts the frost line above the weakest soil, which keeps the surface flat through winter.
Soils mapped around Logansport are in hydrologic group C, which means they take water in slowly and shed a fair amount across the surface. A drainage layer of open-graded crushed gravel underneath the driving surface gives that runoff a place to go instead of washing out the fines that hold the stone together.
Crushed gravel is sold by the ton, and the tonnage you need depends on the area in square feet and the compacted depth in inches. You can use the material calculators on the Gravel Monkey site to get a cubic-yard figure, then convert to tons based on the specific product's weight per yard. That takes the guesswork out of ordering too little or too much.
Gravel Monkey is a national aggregate broker, so there is no local yard to visit. You order online by the ton, and a dump truck delivers the crushed gravel to your Logansport address.

Crushed gravel is a base material, but most jobs need something on top of it or alongside it. These materials are also delivered to Logansport addresses.
Yes. About 130 days a year drop below freezing, and the ground freezing in the Logansport area is deep and long. If you are installing a new base, order in late summer or early fall so the stone is in place and compacted before the ground freezes solid. Laying crushed gravel on frozen subgrade leads to an uneven surface when the ground thaws.
About 77 days a year bring at least a tenth of an inch of rain. You want the delivery spot to be firm and dry so the truck does not rut the ground and the stone does not mix into mud. Check the forecast when you book, and pick a window that follows a few dry days.
Yes. Gravel Monkey delivers to any address in the Logansport area that a dump truck can reach, including rural routes and unincorporated parts of Cass County. The only requirement is a road width of at least 12 feet for the truck to access the site.
You choose a delivery date at checkout that is at least 3 business days out, along with a morning or afternoon window. You get an email confirmation when the order is placed, then a second email closer to the date with the scheduled window and a photo of the material being loaded. Delivery goes ahead only once you approve that second email, and you or someone you nominate must be at the site during the window.
