Crushed Gravel ordered online by the ton. A dump truck delivers to your Caruthersville address and unloads right where you point.
Caruthersville gets about 52 inches of precipitation a year. That much rain means drainage and washout need to be part of your crushed gravel plan. Choosing the right stone size and base depth keeps the surface where you put it.
Ordering crushed gravel by the ton and having it delivered directly to your address is how bulk material buying works. Gravel Monkey sells all the common crushed gravel sizes listed below, so you can pick what fits your project.
The 3/4" Crushed Gravel is the workhorse size for base and drives. It compacts well and handles a broad mix of jobs. The other sizes fill specific needs, from a fine compacting layer to deep fill over soft ground.
| Product | Best Use | Note |
|---|---|---|
| 3/8" Crushed Gravel | Fine compacting layer | Use as a top dressing or under pavers where a smooth finish is needed. |
| 3/4" Crushed Gravel | The workhorse size for base and drives | The all-round choice for driveways and base layers under concrete or asphalt. |
| 1" - 1 1/2" Crushed Gravel | Structural base under heavy loads | Handles equipment access roads or truck parking where weight is a concern. |
| 1 1/2" Crushed Gravel | First lift over soft subgrade | Spreads the load and prevents the stone from pushing into the mud below. |
| 2"-3" Crushed Gravel | Mud control and deep fill | Best for very soft ground or building up low spots in wet conditions. |
Every job needs a specific product and depth. The table below pairs common projects with the right crushed gravel size and a starting depth. Adjust based on your soil condition and traffic load.
| Project | What to Order | Depth or Note |
|---|---|---|
| Farm or site access road | 3/4" Crushed Gravel | 4 to 6 inches after compaction |
| Soft or muddy subgrade | 1 1/2" Crushed Gravel | 6 to 8 inches as a bridging layer |
| Trench backfill | 1" - 1 1/2" Crushed Gravel | Depth per utility specs, usually 6 inches |
| Shed or slab pad | 3/8" Crushed Gravel | 4 inches compacted for a stable base |
| Compacted base for drives or paths | 3/4" Crushed Gravel | 4 to 6 inches compacted |
Soils mapped in the Caruthersville area are commonly poorly drained. That means water does not move through them quickly, so a deeper crushed gravel base is often needed to keep the surface stable. The area sits in dual hydrologic group C/D; drainage determines how fast water soaks in, so planning for runoff matters more here than elsewhere.
Caruthersville gets about 52 inches of precipitation a year. With about 74 wet days, scheduling delivery onto firm ground is important. About 71 days a year drop below 32F. Freeze and thaw cycles work on loose material all winter, which is the argument for the deeper first lift.
Snowfall is modest at about 3 inches yearly, but plowing can disturb a loose gravel surface. Ground freezing here is real but moderate, which affects how deep the base layer needs to be.
To figure out how many tons of crushed gravel your project requires, measure the area in square feet and multiply by the depth in feet. The volume per ton varies by stone size. Use the material calculators on our site to get a close estimate for your Caruthersville delivery.
