Crushed Gravel ordered online by the ton. A dump truck delivers to your Magee address and unloads right where you point.
Magee sees about 58 inches of rain a year, so any project on the ground faces washout and standing water. Crushed gravel is a smart choice here because its angular particles lock together and drain better than rounded stone.
Whether you are building a base for a shed, laying a farm road, or topping a driveway, choosing the right crushed gravel size keeps the surface stable when the weather turns wet.
The most popular order in Magee is 3/4" Crushed Gravel, but the job determines the right size. Below are all the sizes Gravel Monkey delivers, with what each one does best.
| Size | Best used for | Note |
|---|---|---|
| 3/8" Crushed Gravel | fine compacting layer | Creates a smooth finish for walkways and under pavers. |
| 3/4" Crushed Gravel | the workhorse size for base and drives | Handles passenger cars and light trucks without rutting. |
| 1" - 1 1/2" Crushed Gravel | structural base under heavy loads | Needed for dumpster pads or equipment parking. |
| 1 1/2" Crushed Gravel | first lift over soft subgrade | Bridges the gap between soil and the surface layer. |
| 2"-3" Crushed Gravel | mud control and deep fill | Used in deep ruts or as a base layer in wet hollows. |
The table below matches typical Magee projects to the gravel sizes that work best. Depth is a starting point; wet ground may call for more.
| Project | What to order | Depth or note |
|---|---|---|
| Trench backfill | 3/4" Crushed Gravel | Compact in 6-inch lifts |
| Shed or slab pad | 3/8" Crushed Gravel | 2 to 3 inches after compaction |
| Compacted base | 1" - 1 1/2" Crushed Gravel | 4 to 6 inches for moderate loads |
| Farm and site access road | 3/4" Crushed Gravel over 1 1/2" base | 8 to 12 inches total depth |
| Soft or muddy subgrade | 2"-3" Crushed Gravel | First lift to stabilize the ground |
With roughly 75 days a year that bring at least a tenth of an inch of rain, scheduling the delivery for firm ground is important. A dump truck can rut a soft lawn, so choose a dry stretch for the drop-off. About 45 days a year drop below freezing, which narrows the work window in winter and can cause surface heave on a shallow base.
Snowfall is light at about an inch a year, but plowing that snow can scrape loose gravel off a driveway. A well-compacted 3/4" surface holds up better to a blade. Frost is not the constraint here, so the calendar is driven by rain and by how wet the ground is.
Soils mapped in the Magee area are commonly moderately well drained, meaning more or less base stone under the surface layer depending on the exact spot. The ground here is in hydrologic group C, which means it takes water in slowly and sheds a fair amount across the surface. That makes a deeper drainage layer worth the extra material to keep the top dry.
Tonnage depends on the depth and the area you are covering. A 4-inch layer over a 10x20 foot driveway needs roughly 2.5 tons, but wet soil can require an extra inch of base. Use Gravel Monkey's material calculators to get an exact estimate before you order.

Many Magee buyers pair crushed gravel with these products to finish the project.
There is no set price on this page because the cost depends on the tonnage, the size ordered, and your ZIP code. You can see the delivered price before you commit by entering your ZIP at checkout. Magee gets about 58 inches of rain a year, so many buyers add extra base stone for drainage, which raises the tonnage and the total.
Yes, because soils mapped in the Magee area are commonly moderately well drained. On a well-drained spot, a 4-inch base may be enough, but on slower-draining ground you may need a deeper drainage layer. The ground here is in hydrologic group C, which means it takes water in slowly, so adding more crushed gravel under the surface helps keep the top dry.
The sizes are all crushed and angular, but they differ by particle diameter. Smaller sizes like 3/8" compact into a smooth, tight surface. Larger sizes like 2"-3" provide structural support in soft ground. The 3/4" size is the middle ground that works for most driveways and bases.
Yes. The contractor places the order online with their own contact information and chooses the delivery window. The person receiving the material must be present at the site during that window. A valid phone number is required for the confirmation call.
