Crushed Gravel ordered online by the ton. A dump truck delivers to your Ennis address and unloads right where you point.
Many buyers pick crushed gravel by appearance alone, but the real choice is between a base layer and a finish layer. In Ennis the ground freezes deep and stays frozen for months, so the base must be thick enough to resist heaving.
The right crushed gravel for your project depends on whether it will carry vehicles, support a structure, or just cap a driveway.
When choosing crushed gravel in Ennis, the first split is between materials for the base and materials for the finished surface. The sizes below each serve a specific purpose.
| Product | Best for | Note |
|---|---|---|
| 3/8" Crushed Gravel | Fine compacting layer | Works as a top dressing over a compacted base. |
| 3/4" Crushed Gravel | The workhorse size for base and drives | Compacts firmly and handles freeze-thaw well. |
| 1" - 1 1/2" Crushed Gravel | Structural base under heavy loads | Used under concrete or asphalt for extra strength. |
| 1 1/2" Crushed Gravel | First lift over soft subgrade | Bridges weak spots before a finer layer. |
| 2"-3" Crushed Gravel | Mud control and deep fill | Stops rutting in very soft or wet areas. |
Every project has a budget option that works short-term and a more durable option that lasts. The table below matches Ennis project types to the right crushed gravel size.
| Project | What to order | Depth or note |
|---|---|---|
| Soft or muddy subgrade | 2"-3" Crushed Gravel as a first lift, then 3/4" Crushed Gravel on top | 8 to 10 inches total to bridge soft ground |
| Trench backfill | 3/4" Crushed Gravel | Compacted in 6-inch lifts to prevent settling |
| Compacted base for driveway | 3/4" Crushed Gravel | 4 to 6 inches after compaction |
| Farm and site access road | 1 1/2" Crushed Gravel base, topped with 3/4" Crushed Gravel | 8 to 12 inches total for heavy equipment |
| Shed or slab pad | 3/4" Crushed Gravel | 4 inches compacted, with 1" - 1 1/2" Crushed Gravel under frost-prone sections |
Soils mapped in the Ennis area are commonly well drained, which means water moves through the ground rather than sitting on top. That reduces the amount of base stone needed under the surface layer compared to clay soils.
The ground around Ennis takes water in at a moderate rate, so a standard base depth is usually enough to handle rainfall. Spring thaw is the wet part of the year for driveways, and it is when a thin base shows up as ruts.
Because the frost line runs deep, a base of 3/4" crushed gravel should be at least 6 inches thick for any surface that carries vehicles. A thin base will heave and crack in the cold months.
To estimate tons, measure the length and width of the area in feet, multiply by the planned depth in inches, then divide by 12 to get cubic feet. A cubic foot of crushed gravel weighs about 100 to 110 pounds. Use the material calculators on the Gravel Monkey site to get a tonnage estimate for your specific dimensions.
