Crushed Gravel ordered online by the ton. A dump truck delivers to your Warrenton address and unloads right where you point.
Ordering bulk crushed gravel online starts with choosing the right size for the job. Warrenton gets about 43 inches of precipitation a year, so drainage and washout planning matter from the start.
The dump truck carries your load from a regional quarry and makes a single drop exactly where you mark the spot. You pick the delivery window at checkout: morning, 7 am to 12 pm, or afternoon, 12 pm to 5 pm.
The main split is between material for a compacted base and material for a finished surface. Warrenton's mapped soils are somewhat poorly drained, which often calls for a thicker base layer to keep the surface stable.
| Product | Best for | Note |
|---|---|---|
| 3/8" Crushed Gravel | Fine compacting layer | Works as a topdressing or a base for pavers |
| 3/4" Crushed Gravel | The workhorse size for base and drives | Angular material that locks together well |
| 1" - 1 1/2" Crushed Gravel | Structural base under heavy loads | Handles farm and commercial traffic |
| 1 1/2" Crushed Gravel | First lift over soft subgrade | Bridges weak soil before a finer top layer |
| 2"-3" Crushed Gravel | Mud control and deep fill | Best for wet areas and building up a low site |
The table below frames two ways to approach common projects: a budget option that gets the job done and a long-term option built for years of use.
| Project | What to order | Depth or note |
|---|---|---|
| Shed or slab pad | 3/4" Crushed Gravel | Base, 4 to 6 inches compacted |
| Soft or muddy subgrade | 1 1/2" Crushed Gravel then 3/4" | Stabilize deep mud, then cap |
| Compacted base | 3/4" Crushed Gravel | Compact in lifts for a solid drive |
| Trench backfill | 3/4" or 1" - 1 1/2" Crushed Gravel | Drains around utilities or footings |
| Farm and site access road | 1" - 1 1/2" Crushed Gravel | Low maintenance even in wet weather |
Warrenton sees about 105 freezing days a year. That freeze-thaw cycle can shift an unpaved surface if the base is not compacted well. Winters here are cold enough to move an unsettled base, so compaction is worth the extra pass. The area also gets about 14 inches of snowfall annually, and plowing a loose gravel surface can push material into the yard.
Soils mapped in the Warrenton area are commonly somewhat poorly drained. The ground around Warrenton takes water in very slowly, so most rain runs across the surface. This behavior means drainage and a deeper base matter more here than elsewhere. Warren County permitted about 254 single-family homes in 2024, so many new driveways and pads are being built in this area.
You can estimate how much you need by measuring the area in feet: length times width times the depth in feet. Divide by 27 to get cubic yards and multiply by about 1.4 for crushed gravel. Use our material calculators to turn those dimensions into tons for delivery no matter where you are in Warrenton.

Crushed gravel is a strong base, but most properties need a surface layer or finishing material. These options pair well with a crushed gravel foundation.
Yes, it can. Soils mapped in the Warrenton area are commonly somewhat poorly drained, and the ground takes water in very slowly. You may need a thicker base layer to shed water and support the surface properly.
Yes. Winters bring about 105 freezing days and about 14 inches of snowfall. You need to schedule the delivery onto firm, dry ground. The delivery window must be at least 3 business days out, and someone must be present on site.
The truck needs a road width of at least 12 feet. If access is restricted, the crew unloads as close to the requested spot as they safely can. You are responsible for confirming that the property can handle a heavy truck.
Depth depends on the project. A compacted base for a driveway typically needs 6 to 8 inches, while a decorative top layer may only need 2 to 3 inches. The material calculators can help you estimate the total tonnage based on your depth.
Knowing the right size and depth for your job helps you get the most from a single dump truck delivery. Visit the Warrenton hub to place your order or explore the other bulk materials available for your address.
