Crushed Gravel ordered online by the ton. A dump truck delivers to your New Hampshire address and unloads right where you point.
Crushed gravel is often confused with crushed stone, but both are crushed and angular. Crushed gravel comes from natural gravel pits and is processed to consistent sizes. It compacts well for base layers and driveways.
Gravel Monkey delivers crushed gravel across New Hampshire by the ton. You order online, choose a delivery window at checkout, and a dump truck brings the load to your address. Loads range from 1 ton to over 40 tons.
Not every crushed gravel size suits every application. The table below shows what each product is not suitable for, so you can pick the right one.
| Product | Best Use | Note |
|---|---|---|
| 3/8" Crushed Gravel | Fine compacting layer | Not for heavy traffic or structural base; best as a topping or bedding layer. |
| 3/4" Crushed Gravel | The workhorse size for base and drives | Not for mud control or deep fill; ideal for compacted base courses. |
| 1" - 1 1/2" Crushed Gravel | Structural base under heavy loads | Not for thin lifts; requires proper compaction to achieve stability. |
| 1 1/2" Crushed Gravel | First lift over soft subgrade | Not for finished surfaces; use as a stabilizing layer beneath smaller gravel. |
| 2"-3" Crushed Gravel | Mud control and deep fill | Not for grading or final surface; designed to bridge soft ground and control mud. |
For each project surface type, here is the recommended crushed gravel size and depth.
| Project | What to Order | Depth or Note |
|---|---|---|
| Compacted base | 3/4" Crushed Gravel | 4 to 6 inches after compaction |
| Soft or muddy subgrade | 1 1/2" Crushed Gravel as first lift | 6 inches, then top with 3/4" crushed gravel |
| Shed or slab pad | 3/4" Crushed Gravel | 4 to 6 inches, compacted |
| Trench backfill | 1" - 1 1/2" Crushed Gravel | Fill in lifts, compact each layer |
| Farm and site access road | 2"-3" Crushed Gravel | 8 to 12 inches over soft ground |
Annual precipitation across the cities we deliver to in New Hampshire runs from about 42 to 51 inches. With roughly 150 to 178 days a year below 32 degrees Fahrenheit, freeze-thaw cycles are frequent. Most of the state sits in the severe band for ground freezing.
The dominant soil groups across served cities are hydrologic groups C and A. Soils in group C drain slowly, while group A drains quickly. Base depth should account for poor drainage in group C areas to prevent frost heave. Spring thaw is the wet part of the year for driveways, and it is when a thin base shows up as ruts.
Seasonal road restrictions from NHDOT can affect delivery timing during spring. The program limits truck weights on certain roads when frost leaves the ground. Choosing a heavier base layer early can help avoid delays.

With freeze-thaw cycles for 150 to 178 days a year and severe ground freezing, a thicker base is needed. Use a larger crushed gravel like 1 1/2 inch as a first lift on soft subgrade to resist frost heave.
NHDOT runs a spring load-restriction program that limits truck weights on certain roads when frost leaves the ground. This can affect delivery windows. Your delivery date must be at least 3 business days after ordering.
