Crushed Gravel ordered online by the ton. A dump truck delivers to your Auburn address and unloads right where you point.





The cost of a crushed gravel delivery comes down to the material you pick and how far the truck has to travel. Auburn gets about 34 inches of precipitation a year, which means drainage and washout planning matter for any gravel project.
Order online by the ton, get a price at checkout based on your ZIP, and the load shows up on a dump truck. No yard visits, no pickup hassles.
Each crushed gravel size has a different job. The table below lists every product we offer, what it handles best, and one thing to know before you order.
| Product | What It Is For | Note |
|---|---|---|
| 3/8" Crushed Gravel | Fine compacting layer for top dressing or light paths | Not for heavy traffic; works best as a finish surface. |
| 3/4" Crushed Gravel | The workhorse size for base and drives | Handles most residential and light commercial uses. |
| 1" - 1 1/2" Crushed Gravel | Structural base under heavy loads | Good for truck traffic or equipment staging areas. |
| 1 1/2" Crushed Gravel | First lift over soft subgrade | Bridges weak soil before a finer top layer goes on. |
| 2"-3" Crushed Gravel | Mud control and deep fill | Best choice when you need to build up a wet, low spot. |
Different projects need different sizes and depths. This table maps five typical jobs to the right product and gives a rule-of-thumb for how deep to go.
| Project | What to Order | Depth or Note |
|---|---|---|
| Soft or muddy subgrade | 1 1/2" Crushed Gravel | 4 to 6 inches as a bridging layer |
| Farm and site access road | 3/4" Crushed Gravel | 6 to 8 inches compacted |
| Shed or slab pad | 3/4" Crushed Gravel | 4 inches after compaction |
| Compacted base | 3/4" Crushed Gravel or 1" - 1 1/2" Crushed Gravel | Depth depends on load; 4 to 6 inches typical |
| Trench backfill | 3/4" Crushed Gravel | Fill in lifts, compact each 6-inch layer |
About 59 days a year bring at least a tenth of an inch of rain. That means you need to schedule the delivery onto firm ground, not after a soaking. Around 136 days a year drop below 32F, and that freeze-thaw cycle narrows the work window for compaction and grading.
Hard freezes shape the calendar here, so base work is easier to get right from late spring through fall. Snowfall runs about 23 inches a year, and plowing can damage a loose crushed gravel surface if it hasn't been compacted yet. Ground freezing here is deep and long, and that determines how deep the base layer needs to be to stay stable through the winter.
The ground around Auburn is in hydrologic group C, which means it takes water in slowly and sheds a fair amount across the surface. That makes a deeper drainage layer worth planning for any project that will see regular rain or snowmelt.
Tonnage depends on the area you are covering and the depth you want. Use our material calculators to get a rough number before you place the order. The calculator works for any shape and any of our crushed gravel sizes.
You order online by the ton. At checkout, the price is calculated by your ZIP code, the material, and the quantity. Loads run from 1 ton up to 40-plus tons, and qualifying orders get free delivery. Use code FIRSTTIMER50 at checkout to take $50 off your first order.
The delivery date you choose must be at least 3 business days after the order. You pick a window: morning (7 am to 12 pm) or afternoon (12 pm to 5 pm). You get an email confirming the order, 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.
You or someone you nominate must be present during the delivery window. The site needs a road width of at least 12 feet for the truck. If access is tight, the crew unloads as close to the requested spot as they safely can. Read our delivery information for details on fees, cancellation rules, and how to inspect the load.

Crushed gravel often works with other bulk materials on the same site. Here is what pairs well and why.
Yes. Auburn gets about 34 inches of precipitation a year, and the soil in the area drains slowly. That combination means washout is a real risk if the gravel is not properly compacted and graded to shed water. A deeper drainage layer and a slight crown on drives help prevent problems.
They can. About 136 days a year drop below freezing, and deep frost can make the ground unreliable for heavy trucks early in the day. A late-morning or afternoon delivery window is often safer. Snow on the site can also hide soft spots, so the driver will need clear access and firm ground.
The driver places the load as close to the spot you request as the truck can safely reach. You need to be there to direct him and confirm the location. The truck needs 12 feet of road width, and the dump area must be level enough for a safe tip.
The price is calculated at checkout based on your ZIP code, the type of crushed gravel you order, and the total tonnage. The farther the material has to travel from the regional supplier, the higher the haul charge. No hidden fees show up after you place the order.
