Crushed Gravel ordered online by the ton. A dump truck delivers to your Haverhill address and unloads right where you point.
Contractors and homeowners approach crushed gravel differently. A contractor often knows the exact size and tonnage from a spec sheet, while a homeowner might be comparing it to river stone or recycled concrete. Both need to think about drainage and washout planning, because Haverhill gets about 49 inches of precipitation a year.
The right crushed gravel depends on the job. A thin top layer for a driveway needs a different size than a deep fill over soft ground. Every project starts with picking the right size.
Crushed gravel comes in angular fragments that lock together, making it stable under weight. The size you choose controls how it compacts and drains. Below are the sizes we deliver to Haverhill addresses.
| Product | Best for | Note |
|---|---|---|
| 3/8" Crushed Gravel | Fine compacting layer | Works as a topdressing or a base for pavers. |
| 3/4" Crushed Gravel | The workhorse size for base and drives | Balances stability and drainage for most residential jobs. |
| 1" - 1 1/2" Crushed Gravel | Structural base under heavy loads | Used under concrete or asphalt where reinforcement matters. |
| 1 1/2" Crushed Gravel | First lift over soft subgrade | Bridges weak soil before finer layers go on top. |
| 2"-3" Crushed Gravel | Mud control and deep fill | Suitable for boggy areas or raising low ground. |
Each project has a failure mode. A shed pad that settles, a driveway that ruts, a muddy access lane. The table below pairs the fix with the right crushed gravel size.
| Project | What to order | Depth or note |
|---|---|---|
| Shed or slab pad | 3/4" Crushed Gravel | 4 to 6 inches, compacted in lifts |
| Trench backfill | 1" - 1 1/2" Crushed Gravel | Fill in 6-inch layers, tamp each |
| Compacted base | 3/4" Crushed Gravel | 4 to 6 inches, wet and roll |
| Farm and site access road | 1 1/2" Crushed Gravel | 8 to 12 inches over geotextile |
| Soft or muddy subgrade | 2"-3" Crushed Gravel | 12 inches minimum, over fabric |
Haverhill sees about 143 days a year when temperatures drop below 32 degrees Fahrenheit. That narrows the working season and means the ground heaves and settles. A base that is not well compacted can shift during the thaw, so compaction matters here more than in milder climates.
About 62 inches of snow falls each year. Plowing a loose gravel surface can push material into the yard or expose the subgrade. Using a coarse base layer with a finer surface cap helps keep the driveway intact through winter plowing.
Ground freezing in Essex County is real but moderate. The frost line goes deep enough that a crushed gravel base needs to be thick enough to resist movement. Winters here are cold enough to move an unsettled base, so compaction is worth the extra pass. For a driveway, 6 to 8 inches of 3/4-inch crushed gravel over a compacted subgrade is a common starting point.
Tonnage depends on the area you plan to cover and the depth you choose. A 10-by-20-foot driveway at 4 inches deep takes about 6 tons of crushed gravel. Use our material calculators to enter your dimensions and get a tonnage estimate before you order.

Yes. Soils in the Haverhill area are commonly glacial till and loam, which drain moderately. Combined with moderate ground freezing, the base may need to be thicker than in regions with sandy soil. A geotechnical test on your own site is the only way to know the exact depth.
