Crushed Gravel ordered online by the ton. A dump truck delivers to your Kentucky address and unloads right where you point.
Crushed gravel is a crushed, angular aggregate used for driveways, base layers, and drainage. You buy it by the ton here at Gravel Monkey, order online, and we deliver it by dump truck to your address anywhere we serve in Kentucky.
Every order is priced by ZIP code at checkout, and loads range from 1 to 40 plus tons. The price you see is the price for the material delivered to your site.
Not every crushed gravel product works for every job. The wrong size can lead to shifting, poor compaction, or drainage problems. Choose based on your surface type and the load it will carry.
| Product | Best for | Note |
|---|---|---|
| 3/8" Crushed Gravel | Fine compacting layer | Used as a top-dressing or under pavers where a smooth finish is needed. |
| 3/4" Crushed Gravel | The workhorse size for base and drives | Handles passenger vehicles well and compacts into a firm surface. |
| 1" - 1 1/2" Crushed Gravel | Structural base under heavy loads | Suitable for truck traffic or equipment yards where strength is required. |
| 1 1/2" Crushed Gravel | First lift over soft subgrade | Provides a bridging layer that distributes weight before finer stone goes on top. |
| 2"-3" Crushed Gravel | Mud control and deep fill | Large stones lock together to stabilize wet areas and fill deep ruts. |
The table below pairs common projects with the crushed gravel size that typically works best. Depth recommendations assume a stable subgrade.
| Project | What to order | Depth or note |
|---|---|---|
| Trench backfill | 3/4" Crushed Gravel | 8 to 12 inches, compacted in lifts |
| Compacted base | 3/4" Crushed Gravel | 4 to 6 inches after compaction |
| Soft or muddy subgrade | 1 1/2" Crushed Gravel as first lift | 6 to 8 inches, then top with 3/4" |
| Shed or slab pad | 3/8" Crushed Gravel | 4 inches, compacted and leveled |
| Farm and site access road | 1" - 1 1/2" Crushed Gravel base | 8 to 10 inches, with a 2-inch wearing course of 3/4" |
Kentucky's climate varies by region. Across the cities we deliver to, annual precipitation runs from about 46 to 53 inches. Freezing days range from about 82 to 110 days a year below 32 degrees Fahrenheit. Most of the state sits in the moderate band for ground freezing.
The dominant soil hydrologic groups are B and C. Group B soils drain moderately well, while group C soils drain slowly. That means a crushed gravel base often needs a deeper first lift to stay stable through wet periods. Freeze and thaw cycles work on loose material all winter, which is the argument for the deeper first lift.
A compacted base that is thick enough in the first lift resists frost heave and keeps your driveway or pad usable year after year.

To figure out how many tons you need, measure the length and width of the area in feet, multiply by the desired depth in feet, then divide by 27 to get cubic yards. Multiply cubic yards by about 1.4 tons per cubic yard for crushed gravel. Use our material calculators to do the math quickly and adjust for compaction.
