Buy Crushed Gravel in Montana

Gravel Monkey delivers crushed gravel across Montana in five angular sizes, sold by the ton and brought to your address by dump truck. The size you choose controls how well the material compacts, how much base you need, and whether it stays put under traffic.

Each size serves a different job, from a fine surface for pathways to a coarse lift over soft ground. Here is what we carry and what each one is built for.

Crushed Gravel Sizes We Deliver in Montana

The most-ordered crushed gravel size in Montana is 3/4" Crushed Gravel. It packs down firmly and works for drives, pads and base layers under heavier surfacing. The other sizes cover edges of the job range.

What to Order for Common Montana Projects

Match the project to the crushed gravel size and depth. The table below covers the five jobs that come up most often on Montana properties.

Montana Ground and Climate Conditions

What you order depends partly on where in Montana the site sits. Across the cities we deliver to, annual precipitation runs from about 13 to 25 inches, and the number of days below freezing runs from about 158 to 215 days a year. Most of the state sits in the severe band for ground freezing, so base depth matters more than in milder regions.

The dominant soil groups across Montana's served cities are hydrologic groups B and C. Group B soils drain reasonably well, while group C soils hold more water. On group C ground, a thicker crushed gravel base helps keep the surface stable through freeze-thaw cycles without washing out.

Hard freezes shape the calendar here, so base work is easier to get right from late spring through fall. Montana's Department of Transportation also runs a spring load-restriction program that can limit heavy truck weights during the thaw. That program can affect delivery timing on certain roads in the spring, so it is something to plan for when ordering.

How Much Crushed Gravel You Need for Your Job

Crushed gravel is sold by the ton. The tonnage you need depends on the area you are covering and the depth of the lift. A 4-inch layer over a standard drive takes more material than a 2-inch path base. Use Gravel Monkey's material calculators to enter your dimensions and get a tonnage estimate before you order.

Ordering Crushed Gravel from Gravel Monkey

Crushed gravel is a heavy, angular material that needs a truck that can handle the weight. Gravel Monkey delivers by dump truck in loads from 1 to more than 40 tons, priced by ZIP code at checkout. Free delivery is available on qualifying orders, and first-time customers can use the code FIRSTTIMER50 for $50 off their first order.

The delivery date you choose at checkout must be at least 3 business days after the order date. You pick a delivery window: morning from 7 am to 12 pm or afternoon from 12 pm to 5 pm. A valid phone number is required or the order can be delayed. You get an email when the order is placed, then a second email closer to the date with the scheduled window and a photo of the material being loaded. Delivery only goes ahead once you approve that second email. Someone must be at the site during the delivery window.

Gravel Monkey is a national aggregate broker that sources from a network of regional suppliers, so the exact product, size and color can vary by region with local quarry output. For more on how the company works, see the About Gravel Monkey page. You can also read customer reviews and check the delivery information page for full terms.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do seasonal road restrictions in Montana affect delivery?

Yes. Montana's Department of Transportation runs a spring load-restriction program during the thaw. That program can limit heavy truck weights on certain roads in the spring, which may affect delivery timing on some routes. It is something to consider when planning your order.

What conditions across Montana should change what I order?

The wide freeze-thaw cycle across Montana matters. With about 158 to 215 freezing days a year and severe ground freezing, a thicker crushed gravel base helps prevent frost heave and washout. Soil groups B and C are the most common across served cities, and group C ground needs a deeper base to stay stable through wet periods.

How is crushed gravel measured and sold?

Crushed gravel is sold by the ton. The tonnage you need depends on the area and the depth of the lift. Gravel Monkey's material calculators let you enter your dimensions and get a tonnage estimate before you order.

Is there a first-order discount?

Yes. First-time customers can use the code FIRSTTIMER50 for $50 off their first order. The code is applied at checkout.
