Crushed gravel is an angular, compactable aggregate used for driveways, base layers, and drainage. Unlike rounded gravel, it locks together under compaction, creating a stable surface that resists shifting under traffic or freeze-thaw cycles.
Each crushed gravel size handles a specific job, and choosing the wrong one can lead to poor compaction or surface failure. The table below matches each product to the work it handles best.
| Product | Best for | Note |
|---|---|---|
| 3/8" Crushed Gravel | Fine compacting layer | Ideal as a top dressing for pathways or under pavers where a smooth surface is needed. |
| 3/4" Crushed Gravel | The workhorse size for base and drives | The most versatile size for driveways and parking areas; compacts firmly. |
| 1" - 1 1/2" Crushed Gravel | Structural base under heavy loads | Provides a strong sub-base for roads or commercial slabs requiring high load support. |
| 1 1/2" Crushed Gravel | First lift over soft subgrade | Laid first to bridge a soft or wet subgrade before placing finer gravel on top. |
| 2"-3" Crushed Gravel | Mud control and deep fill | Used for stabilizing muddy sites or filling deep ruts; resists pushing into soft ground. |
The right crushed gravel size depends on what surface you are building and the conditions on the ground. This table gives a starting point for common projects.
| Project | What to order | Depth or note |
|---|---|---|
| Soft or muddy subgrade | 1 1/2" Crushed Gravel | First lift over soft ground. Top with 3/4" or 3/8" crushed gravel. |
| Farm and site access road | 1" - 1 1/2" Crushed Gravel and 3/4" Crushed Gravel | Base layer then surface layer for traffic. |
| Shed or slab pad | 3/4" Crushed Gravel or 3/8" Crushed Gravel | Compacted base; finer sizes give a level finish. |
| Trench backfill | 2"-3" Crushed Gravel | Coarse stone for drainage and stability. |
| Compacted base | 3/4" Crushed Gravel | Standard base under concrete or asphalt. |
In Maryland, the cities we serve see between 44 and 50 inches of rain each year. This moisture, combined with freeze-thaw cycles, can destabilize a gravel base that isn't properly compacted. Most of the state experiences 64 to 130 days below freezing, with the ground freezing moderately. The dominant soil types are hydrologic groups B and C, meaning they drain moderately well but can become soft when wet. If the subgrade stays wet or loose, deeper crushed gravel lifts are needed to prevent frost heave and rutting. Freeze and thaw cycles work on loose material all winter, which is the argument for the deeper first lift.
