Crushed Gravel ordered online by the ton. A dump truck delivers to your Massachusetts address and unloads right where you point.
Massachusetts sees about 115 to 153 days a year below 32F, depending on where you are. That many freeze-thaw cycles can shift a loose base if it is not deep enough. Crushed gravel's angular particles lock together under compaction, giving a stable surface that resists frost heave.
Gravel Monkey delivers crushed gravel by the ton to addresses across Massachusetts. Order online with delivery priced by ZIP, and a dump truck brings the load straight to your site.
The most ordered size for general base and drive work is 3/4" Crushed Gravel. It balances drainage and compaction well for most jobs. For other applications, these sizes are stocked by our regional supplier network:
| Product | Best for | Note |
|---|---|---|
| 3/8" Crushed Gravel | Fine compacting layer | Used as a top dressing or under pavers for a smooth finish. |
| 3/4" Crushed Gravel | The workhorse size for base and drives | Go-to for driveways and construction entrances. |
| 1" - 1 1/2" Crushed Gravel | Structural base under heavy loads | Designed for commercial or industrial traffic. |
| 1 1/2" Crushed Gravel | First lift over soft subgrade | Adds a stable layer on weak soils before finer gravel. |
| 2"-3" Crushed Gravel | Mud control and deep fill | Large aggregate for boggy areas or deep fills. |
Match the project to the right size and depth. The table below shows typical recommendations for five common applications in Massachusetts:
| Project | What to order | Depth or note |
|---|---|---|
| Soft or muddy subgrade | 1 1/2" Crushed Gravel | 6 to 8 inches as a first lift, then cap with 3/4". |
| Trench backfill | 3/4" Crushed Gravel | Compact in 6-inch lifts for good drainage. |
| Farm and site access road | 1" - 1 1/2" Crushed Gravel | 8 to 12 inches depending on expected traffic. |
| Shed or slab pad | 3/8" Crushed Gravel | 4 inches well compacted under the slab. |
| Compacted base | 3/4" Crushed Gravel | 4 to 6 inches for standard residential use. |
Annual precipitation across the cities we deliver to runs from about 48 to 51 inches. That amount of rain makes drainage critical. Crushed gravel's angular shape helps water drain through the base instead of pooling.
Freezing days range from about 115 to 153 per year. Most of the state sits in the moderate band for ground freezing. Freeze and thaw cycles work on loose material all winter, which is the argument for the deeper first lift. A deeper lift of 1 1/2" or 2"-3" gravel keeps moisture from heaving the surface.
Hydrologic soil groups A and D are the most common across the served cities. Group D soils drain slowly, so a deeper crushed gravel base helps prevent washout and rutting.

Massachusetts experiences about 115 to 153 days below 32F annually, and some towns post spring weight limits during thaw. Gravel Monkey schedules deliveries based on the chosen window and transit route; if restrictions apply to your area, you will be informed at checkout.
Hydrologic soil groups A and D are common across the cities we serve. Group D soils drain slowly, so a deeper base of 1 1/2" crushed gravel is often needed to keep water from undermining the surface. Higher rainfall areas also benefit from a thicker base.
