Crushed Gravel ordered online by the ton. A dump truck delivers to your Iberia address and unloads right where you point.
The most common mistake with crushed gravel is picking one size for every part of the job. A thin surface layer and a deep base over soft ground call for different stone sizes. Matching the grade to the purpose saves money and keeps the surface stable.
Iberia gets about 45 inches of precipitation a year. Drainage and washout planning matter here more than in drier areas, and the right crushed gravel layout gives water somewhere to go.
The split between a base layer and a finish layer decides which crushed gravel size you need. Base stone locks together under weight, while finer grades compact into a smooth surface.
| Product | Purpose | Note |
|---|---|---|
| 3/8" Crushed Gravel | Fine compacting layer | Used as a top dressing or paver base where a smooth finish is needed. |
| 3/4" Crushed Gravel | The workhorse size for base and drives | Handles regular vehicle traffic and compacts into a firm, stable surface. |
| 1" - 1 1/2" Crushed Gravel | Structural base under heavy loads | Meant for farm lanes and access roads that carry trucks or equipment. |
| 1 1/2" Crushed Gravel | First lift over soft subgrade | Bridges weak spots and spreads weight before a finer base goes on top. |
| 2"-3" Crushed Gravel | Mud control and deep fill | Large stone that locks in wet ground and fills deep depressions. |
Think of a gravel job as a budget choice and a long-term choice. The cheap path skips the base layer. The durable path builds from coarse stone up to fine stone.
| Project | What to order | Depth or note |
|---|---|---|
| Soft or muddy subgrade | 2"-3" Crushed Gravel | Start with 6 to 8 inches as a bridging layer. |
| Shed or slab pad | 3/4" Crushed Gravel | Compact to 4 inches for a stable foundation. |
| Farm and site access road | 1" - 1 1/2" Crushed Gravel | Use 6 inches minimum under the driving surface. |
| Compacted base | 3/4" Crushed Gravel | Spread 4 inches and compact in lifts. |
| Trench backfill | 1 1/2" Crushed Gravel | Fill in 6-inch lifts and tamp between layers. |
About 68 days a year bring at least a tenth of an inch of rain here. Scheduling the delivery onto firm ground means the truck can spread the load without rutting the site. Wet ground also slows compaction, so wait for a dry stretch.
About 101 days a year drop below 32F. The work window for spreading and compacting crushed gravel runs from spring through fall, and the ground moves when it freezes and thaws. Frost heave shifts an unsettled base, which is why a well-compacted layer matters. Winters here are cold enough to move an unsettled base, so compaction is worth the extra pass.
Ground around Iberia is in hydrologic group D, which means it takes water in very slowly, so most rain runs across the surface. Drainage and a deeper base matter more here than elsewhere. Soils mapped in the Iberia area are commonly moderately well drained, so the amount of base stone under the surface layer depends on how much water sits on your site.
Tonnage depends on the area you are covering and the depth of the layer. A 4-inch bed over a 10-foot by 20-foot area needs roughly 2.5 tons of 3/4" Crushed Gravel, but the exact number changes with the stone size and how much it compacts.

Crushed gravel is angular and locks together, which makes it good for bases and drives. It is not suitable as a loose play surface, a decorative top layer where a rounded look is wanted, or a bedding material for underground pipes that need fine sand.
