Crushed Gravel ordered online by the ton. A dump truck delivers to your Lakeville address and unloads right where you point.
Lakeville gets about 51 inches of precipitation a year. That makes drainage and washout planning important for any gravel surface. A well-built crushed gravel layer handles the runoff better than a flat, ungraded one.
For a typical residential project such as a driveway or a base layer, the tonnage can add up quickly. Using a reliable estimate helps you order the right amount the first time.
Crushed gravel comes in several sizes, each suited to a different part of the job. The table below shows the options you can order for delivery to Lakeville.
| Size | Best for | Note |
|---|---|---|
| 3/8" Crushed Gravel | Fine compacting layer | Works well as a top surface for walkways and driveways. |
| 3/4" Crushed Gravel | The workhorse size for base and drives | Compacts to a stable base under asphalt or concrete. |
| 1" - 1 1/2" Crushed Gravel | Structural base under heavy loads | Handles truck traffic and supports large structures. |
| 1 1/2" Crushed Gravel | First lift over soft subgrade | Bridges soft spots before adding a finer top layer. |
| 2"-3" Crushed Gravel | Mud control and deep fill | Drains well and stabilizes wet or low areas. |
The right crushed gravel size depends on what you are building. This table matches common Lakeville projects to the product that works best.
| Project | What to order | Depth or note |
|---|---|---|
| Trench backfill | 3/4" Crushed Gravel | Compact in 6-inch lifts for a solid base. |
| Farm and site access road | 1" - 1 1/2" Crushed Gravel | 6 inches over a geotextile if the soil is wet. |
| Compacted base | 3/4" Crushed Gravel | 4 to 6 inches, compacted after each pass. |
| Shed or slab pad | 3/4" Crushed Gravel | 4 inches deep, tamped to level. |
| Soft or muddy subgrade | 2"-3" Crushed Gravel | 8 to 12 inches for bridging and drainage. |
About 85 days a year bring at least a tenth of an inch of rain. That means scheduling delivery for firm ground is important to avoid ruts and soft spots. Around 133 days a year drop below 32F. The ground freezes and thaws, which can unsettle a base if it is not compacted properly.
Winters here are cold enough to move an unsettled base, so compaction is worth the extra pass. Ground freezing is real but moderate, so the base layer should be deep enough to resist movement.
Soils mapped in the Lakeville area are commonly moderately well drained but belong to a dual hydrologic group where infiltration is slow. That means you may need additional base stone to handle runoff. The exact amount depends on the drainage of your specific site.
To estimate the tonnage, measure the project area in square feet and decide the depth in inches. Multiply area by depth, then convert to tons using the material calculators for crushed gravel. The calculator accounts for the specific gravity of crushed gravel so you get a reliable number.

Delivery cost depends on the tonnage and the ZIP code. You see the total at checkout before you pay. Because Lakeville gets about 51 inches of rainfall a year, a deeper base for drainage can increase the amount you need.
Yes. Soils in the Lakeville area are commonly moderately well drained but belong to a dual hydrologic group where infiltration is slow. That means you may need additional base stone to handle runoff.
Crushed gravel is sold by the ton, not by the cubic yard. Use the material calculators to convert your project dimensions into tonnage.
The size depends on the job. For a compacted base under a driveway, 3/4 inch crushed gravel is standard. For a fine top surface, use 3/8 inch. For mud-prone areas, choose 2 to 3 inch crushed gravel.
