Crushed Gravel in Lee
Order a load of crushed gravel for your Lee property by the ton, online, and have it delivered to your address by dump truck. Each load is priced per ton based on your ZIP code at checkout, and orders start at one ton with a maximum of more than 40 tons per load.
Lee gets about 46 inches of precipitation a year, which means drainage and washout planning matter when you choose a surface layer and a base. The right crushed gravel size handled right can keep water moving away from buildings and travel surfaces.
Crushed Gravel Sizes for Lee Projects
Crushed gravel is an angular, machine-crushed material that locks together under compaction. Each size serves a different function, from a fine top dressing to a structural base over soft ground.
| Product | Best use | Note |
|---|---|---|
| 3/8" Crushed Gravel | Fine compacting layer | Top surface for paths, walkways, or under pavers where a smooth finish is wanted. |
| 3/4" Crushed Gravel | The workhorse size for base and drives | Handles vehicle traffic and compacts into a firm, reliable sub-base. |
| 1" - 1 1/2" Crushed Gravel | Structural base under heavy loads | Rated for truck traffic and equipment yards where deeper support is needed. |
| 1 1/2" Crushed Gravel | First lift over soft subgrade | Bridges weak soils and spreads the load from the surface layers above. |
| 2"-3" Crushed Gravel | Mud control and deep fill | Creates a drainage layer and stabilizes wet, low spots before finer stone goes on top. |
Which Crushed Gravel to Order for Common Jobs
Match your project type to the crushed gravel size that handles the loads and conditions typical in Lee.
| Project | What to order | Depth or note |
|---|---|---|
| Trench backfill | 1" - 1 1/2" Crushed Gravel | Drains freely and resists settling under utility trenches. |
| Compacted base | 3/4" Crushed Gravel | Base under asphalt, concrete, or pavers; compact in 6-inch lifts. |
| Farm and site access road | 1 1/2" Crushed Gravel | First lift over existing soil, then cap with 3/4" for driving surface. |
| Soft or muddy subgrade | 2"-3" Crushed Gravel | Bridging layer; cover with smaller stone once stable. |
| Shed or slab pad | 3/8" Crushed Gravel | Compacts to a smooth, level surface ready for pouring or setting blocks. |
How Lee Weather and Soil Affect Crushed Gravel
Soils mapped in the Lee area are commonly poorly drained. That means a deeper sub-base may be needed under driveways and pads to keep the crushed gravel from mixing with wet ground underneath. The ground around Lee is in dual hydrologic group B/D; where it is drained, it takes water in at a moderate rate, but where it is not drained, most rain runs across the surface. Drainage and a deeper base matter more here than elsewhere, and your site conditions determine which side of that group applies.
About 82 days a year bring at least a tenth of an inch of rain, which can make scheduling a delivery onto firm ground harder to predict. The county also sees about 151 days a year drop below 32F, which limits the work window and makes the ground move as it freezes and thaws. About 57 inches of snow a year means plowing can disturb a loose surface if the top layer is not well compacted or capped with a finer stone. Ground that freezes deep moves as it thaws, which is why the base layer matters more here than the top layer. Deep and long frost makes the base depth critical; choose a structural size and enough thickness to stay stable through the freeze-thaw cycle.
Estimating How Much Crushed Gravel You Need
Crushed gravel is sold by the ton, and the volume you need depends on the depth of the layer and the footprint of the area you are covering. Use the material calculators on our site to convert square footage and depth into tons. Enter your measurements and the calculator gives you a tonnage estimate for the product you are ordering.

Frequently Asked Questions About Crushed Gravel in Lee
Is Lee a wet enough area to worry about washout?
Yes. Lee gets about 46 inches of precipitation a year, and with poorly drained soils, water does not sink in quickly in many spots. Without a proper crushed gravel base and adequate drainage, washout and erosion can occur where water flows across the surface. A deeper sub-base of 1 1/2-inch or 2- to 3-inch crushed gravel helps keep the surface stable.
Do winter conditions in Lee affect delivery?
Yes. About 151 days a year drop below freezing, and the county gets around 57 inches of snow annually. Plowing can damage a loose surface, so it is best to schedule deliveries onto firm ground. The delivery window and site access must be clear of snow and ice for the truck to unload safely.
Where will the driver put the load?
The driver places the crushed gravel in the spot you designate at the time of purchase, as close as the truck can safely reach. If access is tight due to a narrow road or low clearance, the crew unloads at the nearest safe point. You need to be there to direct them.
How is the delivery price calculated?
The price is calculated per ton based on your delivery ZIP code at checkout. You enter the tonnage you need, and the system shows the total including delivery, any qualifying free delivery, and applicable discounts. There are no additional fees beyond what is shown at checkout.
