Crushed Gravel in Edgewood
Many people confuse crushed gravel with crushed stone. Both are crushed and angular, but crushed gravel comes from natural gravel deposits. Crushed stone is mined from bedrock.
Edgewood gets about 15 inches of precipitation a year, so washout is less of a concern than in wetter areas. You still need to plan for drainage under the gravel to keep it stable.
Crushed Gravel Sizes Available in Edgewood
Not every size works for every task. Here is what each crushed gravel option is meant for and where it falls short.
| Product | Best for | Note |
|---|---|---|
| 3/8" Crushed Gravel | Fine compacting layer | Great for paths and under pavers; too thin for heavy traffic. |
| 3/4" Crushed Gravel | The workhorse size for base and drives | Handles vehicles well; not ideal if you need a smooth walking surface. |
| 1" - 1 1/2" Crushed Gravel | Structural base under heavy loads | Too large for a finished surface; use as a sub-base only. |
| 1 1/2" Crushed Gravel | First lift over soft subgrade | Provides stability on weak ground; too rough for a top layer. |
| 2"-3" Crushed Gravel | Mud control and deep fill | Best for saturated areas; not compactable to a smooth surface. |
Choosing Crushed Gravel for Your Project
Match the project to the right crushed gravel size. These recommendations are based on common Edgewood uses.
| Project | What to order | Depth or note |
|---|---|---|
| Compacted base | 3/4" Crushed Gravel | 4-inch compacted depth for a firm base. |
| Soft or muddy subgrade | 1 1/2" Crushed Gravel | First lift of 6 inches to bridge unstable soil. |
| Shed or slab pad | 3/8" Crushed Gravel | 3-inch compacted layer for a level pad. |
| Farm and site access road | 2"-3" Crushed Gravel | 8-inch minimum depth for heavy equipment. |
| Trench backfill | 1" - 1 1/2" Crushed Gravel | Fill in lifts and compact each 6 inches. |
Edgewood Climate and Ground Factors
About 150 days a year drop below freezing in Edgewood. That shortens the work window for installing crushed gravel and means the ground moves more during freeze-thaw cycles. Freeze and thaw cycles work on loose material all winter, which is the argument for the deeper first lift.
Snowfall averages about 22 inches a year. Plowing can damage a loose crushed gravel surface, so plan to add a top layer of compacted 3/8 inch if you expect regular snow removal.
The ground around Edgewood takes water in slowly and sheds a fair amount across the surface. A deeper drainage layer under the crushed gravel earns its place to prevent washout during the 38 wet days a year that bring at least a tenth of an inch of rain.

Frequently Asked Questions About Crushed Gravel in Edgewood
How many wet days a year should I plan a crushed gravel delivery around in Edgewood?
About 38 days a year bring at least a tenth of an inch of rain. Schedule your delivery for a dry stretch and expect the crew to work around light showers if the ground is firm.
Does the ground in Edgewood freeze hard enough to change when I should order?
Yes. The area sees about 150 freezing days a year, so the ground freezes enough to make excavation difficult in winter. Order crushed gravel for installation in spring or fall when the ground is workable.
Do you deliver to rural addresses outside the city limits?
Yes, Gravel Monkey delivers to most rural addresses in the area. The site needs a road width of at least 12 feet for the dump truck. If access is restricted, the crew unloads as close as they safely can.
What size crushed gravel should I choose?
It depends on your project. For a compacted base on firm ground, 3/4 inch works. For soft soil, start with 1 1/2 inch. For deep fill or mud control, use 2 to 3 inch. Use the material calculators to match the size to the load.
