Crushed Gravel ordered online by the ton. A dump truck delivers to your Polo address and unloads right where you point.
You tell us where you want the pile, and a dump truck brings the crushed gravel to that spot. One drop, one load, and you can start spreading it right away.
Polo gets about 40 inches of precipitation a year, so drainage and washout planning matter when you choose your base layer. A deeper lift of coarse stone under the surface helps keep the top layer where it belongs.
Crushed gravel splits into two roles: structural base material that handles load and drainage, and finer surface material that compacts smooth. The size you pick depends on what the ground needs underneath and what you expect from the top.
| 3/8" Crushed Gravel | Fine compacting layer | Used as a finished surface for walkways and patios; also serves as a leveling course above the base. |
| 3/4" Crushed Gravel | The workhorse size for base and drives | Handles light vehicle traffic and resists shifting when compacted; the go-to for most home projects. |
| 1" - 1 1/2" Crushed Gravel | Structural base under heavy loads | Provides a stable foundation for dump truck access, equipment yards, or large sheds. |
| 1 1/2" Crushed Gravel | First lift over soft subgrade | Bridges weak soils and spreads the load before you put a finer surface on top. |
| 2"-3" Crushed Gravel | Mud control and deep fill | Used where the ground stays wet or you need to build up a low area quickly. |
A smaller, compactable size costs less up front but may need more maintenance over time. A larger base size costs more per ton but can reduce long-term upkeep in soft ground.
| Project | What to order | Depth or note |
| Soft or muddy subgrade | 1 1/2" Crushed Gravel as a first lift, then 3/4" Crushed Gravel on top | 6 to 8 inches of base, then 2 to 3 inches of surface |
| Shed or slab pad | 3/4" Crushed Gravel | 4 to 6 inches after compaction |
| Farm and site access road | 1" - 1 1/2" Crushed Gravel | 8 to 12 inches depending on expected truck weight |
| Compacted base | 3/4" Crushed Gravel | Compact in lifts of 4 inches or less |
| Trench backfill | 3/4" Crushed Gravel or 1" - 1 1/2" Crushed Gravel | Fill in layers and compact each lift |
Soils mapped in the Polo area are commonly somewhat poorly drained. That means water sits near the surface longer than it would in well-drained ground, so you need more base stone under the surface layer to prevent soft spots.
About 131 days a year drop below 32F. Each freeze-thaw cycle can push the ground upward, and a thicker base of crushed gravel helps resist that movement. Hard freezes shape the calendar here, so base work is easier to get right from late spring through fall.
The ground around Polo is in dual hydrologic group C/D. Where it is drained it takes water in slowly and sheds a fair amount across the surface; where it is not, it takes water in very slowly, so most rain runs across the surface. Drainage and a deeper base matter more here than elsewhere, and the right approach depends on whether your site is already tiled or ditched.
