Crushed Gravel ordered online by the ton. A dump truck delivers to your Pennsauken address and unloads right where you point.
If you are building a driveway or a base for a shed in Pennsauken, crushed gravel is a durable, angular material that stays in place. Many jobs use 3/4" Crushed Gravel for the main layer and 3/8" Crushed Gravel for a compacted finish.
Pennsauken gets about 49 inches of precipitation a year, so drainage and washout planning matter. The angular shape of crushed gravel interlocks and resists shifting under rain.
Crushed gravel comes in sizes that serve either a base or a finish role. The smaller sizes compact into a smooth surface, while larger sizes build stable layers under weight.
| Product | Best for | Note |
|---|---|---|
| 3/8" Crushed Gravel | Fine compacting layer | Creates a tight, smooth surface for paths or top dressing. |
| 3/4" Crushed Gravel | The workhorse size for base and drives | Versatile for driveways, pads, and general fills. |
| 1" - 1 1/2" Crushed Gravel | Structural base under heavy loads | Used beneath concrete or asphalt, and for truck access areas. |
| 1 1/2" Crushed Gravel | First lift over soft subgrade | Provides a firm starting layer on unstable ground. |
| 2"-3" Crushed Gravel | Mud control and deep fill | Largest size for bridging soft spots and preventing rutting. |
The table below suggests a material for each job. A budget-conscious choice uses a less expensive size, while a long-term installation calls for a structural grade.
| Project | What to order | Depth or note |
|---|---|---|
| Trench backfill | 3/4" Crushed Gravel | Compact in lifts; 6 to 8 inches typical |
| Farm and site access road | 2"-3" Crushed Gravel | First lift of 10 to 12 inches, then cap with smaller |
| Compacted base | 1" - 1 1/2" Crushed Gravel | Depth based on load; 4 to 6 inches common |
| Shed or slab pad | 3/8" Crushed Gravel | 2 to 3 inches after compaction |
| Soft or muddy subgrade | 1 1/2" Crushed Gravel | Start with a thick lift of 8 to 12 inches |
About 82 days a year bring at least a tenth of an inch of rain. That many wet days means scheduling the delivery onto firm ground is important so the truck does not sink. Well-timed delivery avoids delays and extra work.
About 88 days a year drop below 32F, and Pennsauken gets about 22 inches of snow annually. Ground freezing here is real but moderate, so the freeze-thaw cycle can move an unsettled base. Winters here are cold enough to move an unsettled base, so compaction is worth the extra pass. Plowing snow can damage a loose surface, so a compacted top layer protects the driveway.
Soils mapped in the Pennsauken area are commonly well drained. Ground around Pennsauken is in hydrologic group B, which means it takes water in at a moderate rate. For most jobs, standard base depth is usually enough, but the actual soil at your address may differ. You should verify the drainage on-site before finalizing the base design.
Calculating the right tonnage starts with the area and the planned depth. Use Gravel Monkey's material calculators to convert your measurements into tons. The calculator accounts for compaction and gives you a figure to order by.

The depth needed depends on the subgrade strength and the expected load. A structural base of crushed gravel typically requires several inches, but the exact depth should be determined by a site evaluation and the use of our material calculators.
For a gravel driveway, the total depth depends on the soil conditions and the weight of vehicles. A common practice is to start with a thick base layer of larger stone, then add a surface layer. Use our calculators for a custom estimate based on your specific project.
