Which Crushed Gravel for Your Job

The right size depends on what you are building and the ground underneath. This table matches common projects to the best crushed gravel product.

Ocean Springs Conditions That Affect Your Crushed Gravel Job

About 75 days a year in Ocean Springs bring at least a tenth of an inch of rain. That means you need to schedule your delivery onto firm ground, not after a rain so the truck can unload without sinking.

Only about 16 days a year drop below 32F, so the ground does not heave much from frost. The work window runs most of the year, and the base depth does not need to be extra for frost protection.

Soils mapped in the Ocean Springs area are commonly very poorly drained. Because of that, you may need more base stone under the surface layer to keep the gravel from pushing into the wet dirt. The ground here is in dual hydrologic group B/D. Where it is drained, water soaks in at a moderate rate. Where it is not, most rain runs across the surface. Drainage and a deeper base matter more here than elsewhere. Frost is not the constraint here, so the calendar is driven by rain and by how wet the ground is.

Estimating How Much Crushed Gravel You Need

To figure the tons you need, measure the length, width and desired depth in feet. Multiply length times width times depth, divide by 27 to get cubic yards, then multiply by about 1.4 tons per cubic yard for crushed gravel. Use our material calculators to do the math quickly and order the right amount.

Frequently Asked Questions About Crushed Gravel in Ocean Springs

How many wet days a year should I plan a crushed gravel delivery around in Ocean Springs?

Plan around the roughly 75 wet days each year. Schedule your delivery for a dry spell so the ground is firm enough for the truck. The driver needs solid ground to unload safely.

Does the ground in Ocean Springs freeze hard enough to change when I should order?

The ground in Ocean Springs freezes only about 16 days a year. That freeze is not deep enough to shift the ground significantly, so you can order crushed gravel most of the year without worrying about frost heave.

Do you deliver to rural addresses outside the city limits?

Yes, we deliver to rural addresses as long as the site has a road width of at least 12 feet. The same delivery process applies: order online, choose a window, and someone must be present.

What size crushed gravel should I choose?

It depends on the job. For a driveway base, 3/4" Crushed Gravel works well. For soft ground, start with 1 1/2" or larger. For a finer surface, use 3/8" Crushed Gravel.
