Crushed Gravel ordered online by the ton. A dump truck delivers to your Windsor address and unloads right where you point.
The total delivered cost of crushed gravel depends on the product size, the tonnage you need, and the distance from the supplier. Gravel Monkey acts as your broker, matching your Windsor address with a nearby source and scheduling the dump truck. That lets you focus on choosing the right size and delivery date.
Windsor gets about 69 inches of snow a year, so a well-compacted crushed gravel surface holds up against plow blades and winter traffic. Choosing a solid base layer is as important as the top surface.
No single crushed gravel size works for every situation. A fine grade packs smoothly but won't bridge soft ground. A large stone stabilizes mud but is hard to walk on. The table below lists the sizes we offer and where each fits.
| Product | Best for | Note |
|---|---|---|
| 3/8" Crushed Gravel | Fine compacting layer | Creates a smooth surface for paths, shed floors, and final grading. |
| 3/4" Crushed Gravel | Workhorse size for base and drives | Angular stone interlocks well under compaction, making it a go-to base layer. |
| 1" - 1 1/2" Crushed Gravel | Structural base under heavy loads | Ideal for trench backfill and under concrete where weight is a concern. |
| 1 1/2" Crushed Gravel | First lift over soft subgrade | Provides a stable foundation when the native soil is weak or saturated. |
| 2"-3" Crushed Gravel | Mud control and deep fill | Large stones bridge mud holes and improve access on soft sites. |
The table below matches typical jobs with the crushed gravel size that works best. Always confirm depth based on the expected load and site conditions.
| Project | What to order | Depth or note |
|---|---|---|
| Shed or slab pad | 3/8" Crushed Gravel | 2 to 3 inches after compaction |
| Soft or muddy subgrade | 2"-3" Crushed Gravel | 8 to 12 inches as a bridging layer |
| Trench backfill | 1" - 1 1/2" Crushed Gravel | Varies with trench width, compacted in lifts |
| Compacted base | 3/4" Crushed Gravel | 4 to 6 inches, compacted |
| Farm and site access road | 1 1/2" Crushed Gravel | 6 to 8 inches as a first lift |
Windsor receives about 48 inches of precipitation each year. That much moisture means drainage and washout planning matter for any gravel area. A good base and proper grading keep crushed gravel in place.
About 86 days a year bring at least a tenth of an inch of rain. Scheduling the delivery for firm ground avoids soft-site issues. The work window is shaped by roughly 148 freezing days per year.
Ground freezing here is deep and long. That forces the base layer to be thick enough to resist frost movement. Ground that freezes deep moves as it thaws, which is why the base layer matters more here than the top layer.
Soils in the Windsor area take in water very slowly. Rain runs across the surface instead of soaking in. A deeper base and good drainage become critical because of that slow infiltration.
The average snowfall is about 69 inches annually. Snow plows will scrape the surface repeatedly. A compacted crushed gravel surface resists gouging better than loose stone.
Kennebec County permitted about 447 single-family homes in 2024. New construction means driveways, pads, and base layers. Choosing the right crushed gravel size upfront prevents rework later.
Crushed gravel is sold by the ton. To calculate your needs, measure the area length and width in feet and the desired depth in inches. Multiply to get cubic feet, then use a density conversion. Our material calculators do that using the correct density for each size. Enter your project dimensions and selected product to get an accurate tonnage estimate for your Windsor delivery.

About 86 days a year bring at least a tenth of an inch of rain. You should plan delivery for a dry day or when the ground is firm enough to support the truck and compaction.
Yes. Windsor sees about 148 days a year below freezing, and the ground freezes deeply. That affects the installation window because you need the soil to be workable and firm for compaction.
Yes, we deliver to rural addresses as long as there is a road wide enough for a dump truck. The truck needs at least 12 feet of clearance. If access is restricted, we unload as close to the requested spot as safely possible.
The size depends on the project. For walking surfaces, use 3/8-inch or 3/4-inch compacted gravel. For base layers under heavy loads or on soft ground, use 1-inch to 1-1/2 inch or 2-inch to 3-inch crushed gravel.
