Crushed Gravel ordered online by the ton. A dump truck delivers to your Natchez address and unloads right where you point.
Natchez gets about 60 inches of precipitation a year. That kind of rainfall makes drainage and washout planning a necessary part of any gravel project.
Crushed gravel locks together well, which helps it stay in place under heavy rain. The angular particles create a stable surface that resists shifting better than rounded materials.
For most driveway and base projects in Natchez, 3/4" Crushed Gravel is the size customers order most. The table below lists all the crushed gravel sizes we deliver so you can compare.
| Product | Best for | Note |
|---|---|---|
| 3/8" Crushed Gravel | Fine compacting layer | Ideal for a smooth top surface on pathways and patios where a finer finish is needed. |
| 3/4" Crushed Gravel | The workhorse size for base and drives | The go-to size for driveways and base layers, balancing drainage and stability well. |
| 1" - 1 1/2" Crushed Gravel | Structural base under heavy loads | Used under equipment pads or commercial parking areas for extra strength and load support. |
| 1 1/2" Crushed Gravel | First lift over soft subgrade | Best as the first lift over soft ground to build a firm foundation before adding finer gravel. |
| 2"-3" Crushed Gravel | Mud control and deep fill | Great for mud control on farm roads or filling deep ruts where drainage is critical. |
Every project has a different subgrade and load requirement. The table below matches common jobs to the recommended crushed gravel size and a typical placement note.
| Project | What to order | Depth or note |
|---|---|---|
| Trench backfill | 3/4" Crushed Gravel | Compacted in lifts to prevent settling |
| Soft or muddy subgrade | 1 1/2" Crushed Gravel | First lift over soft ground to stabilize |
| Compacted base | 3/4" Crushed Gravel | The standard base material for driveways and pads |
| Farm and site access road | 2"-3" Crushed Gravel | Deep fill for mud control and drainage |
| Shed or slab pad | 3/8" Crushed Gravel | Fine compacting layer for a smooth surface |
Natchez gets about 60 inches of precipitation a year. That much rain means drainage and washout planning should be part of your project design from the start. The angular shape of crushed gravel allows water to pass through while the material stays locked in place.
About 75 days a year bring at least a tenth of an inch of rain. Scheduling the delivery onto firm ground reduces the chance of the truck getting stuck or rutting the area before you spread the gravel. About 33 days a year drop below 32F, which affects the work window and how much the ground moves during freeze-thaw cycles. Ground freezing here is not a significant factor, so the base layer does not need the extra depth that colder regions require. Work can run most of the year in this climate, which makes scheduling the delivery the easy part.
Snowfall is about 0 inches a year. That means plowing damage to a loose stone surface is not something you need to plan for.
To estimate how many tons of crushed gravel your Natchez project requires, measure the length and width of the area and the planned depth. You can use our material calculators to get a quick tonnage estimate for any size or shape. Just enter your dimensions and the calculator returns the number of tons needed.

Crushed gravel is not suitable for surfaces that require a smooth, rounded feel, such as play areas or decorative landscaping where a polished look is desired. It is also not ideal for use in drain fields or septic systems because fines can clog the system. For those applications, consider washed stone or pea gravel.
