Crushed Gravel ordered online by the ton. A dump truck delivers to your Brockport address and unloads right where you point.
Crushed gravel and crushed stone are easy to mix up. Both are crushed and angular, but crushed gravel comes from natural gravel deposits while crushed stone comes from quarried rock. Brockport sees about 35 inches of precipitation a year, so the base material needs to drain well.
A properly graded crushed gravel base handles that runoff better than some alternatives. That difference matters for driveways, pads and walkways in this area.
Not every crushed gravel size works for every job. The 3/8 inch size is too fine for vehicle traffic, while the 2 to 3 inch size is overkill for a walkway. Pick the size matched to your project.
| Product | Best use | Note |
|---|---|---|
| 3/8" Crushed Gravel | Fine compacting layer | Good for paver base but too small for driveways. |
| 3/4" Crushed Gravel | The workhorse size for base and drives | Compacts well and supports light to medium loads. |
| 1" - 1 1/2" Crushed Gravel | Structural base under heavy loads | Ideal for farm roads and heavy equipment areas. |
| 1 1/2" Crushed Gravel | First lift over soft subgrade | Bridges soft ground before a finer top layer. |
| 2"-3" Crushed Gravel | Mud control and deep fill | Best for wet spots and filling deep ruts. |
The table below pairs common projects with the crushed gravel size that works best for them.
| Project | What to order | Depth or note |
|---|---|---|
| Soft or muddy subgrade | 1 1/2" Crushed Gravel | Place a 4 to 6 inch lift to stabilize. |
| Shed or slab pad | 3/4" Crushed Gravel | Compacted to a firm, level base. |
| Farm and site access road | 1" - 1 1/2" Crushed Gravel | Layer 6 inches thick, compacted. |
| Compacted base for paving | 3/4" Crushed Gravel | Install and compact in 4 inch lifts. |
| Trench backfill | 2"-3" Crushed Gravel | Provides drainage and fill in deep trenches. |
Brockport has about 84 days a year with at least a tenth of an inch of rain. Scheduling the delivery onto firm ground matters because wet soil ruts easily under a truck and compacts poorly. Spring thaw is the wet part of the year for driveways, and it is when a thin base shows up as ruts.
About 129 days a year drop below freezing. That shortens the working season for laying gravel, and deep frost can heave a base that is too thin. Snowfall averages 74 inches a year, so plowing can scuff a loose gravel surface if the top layer is not compacted well.
Ground freezing in this area is deep and long. That affects how deep the base layer needs to be to stay stable through the winter.
To estimate the tonnage, measure the length and width of the area and multiply by the intended depth. Use our material calculators to convert that volume to tons. The calculator accounts for the density of crushed gravel so you get a accurate number without guesswork.
Order online by the ton. The price for your delivery ZIP code shows up at checkout. Orders over a certain weight qualify for free delivery. Use code FIRSTTIMER50 for $50 off your first order.
Choose a delivery date at least 3 business days after ordering. Pick a morning or afternoon window. Gravel Monkey sends an email confirmation, then a second email closer to the date with the scheduled window and a photo of the load. Delivery goes ahead only after you approve that photo. Someone must be at the site during the delivery window.

These materials pair well with crushed gravel for complete projects.
The tonnage depends on the area and depth. Because the soil around Brockport takes water in slowly, a crushed gravel base may need to be deeper to handle surface runoff. That extra depth increases the total tonnage. Use our material calculators to get an accurate estimate.
Yes. Because the ground freezing here is deep and long, the base depth matters and we schedule deliveries around weather to keep sites accessible. We deliver to Brockport and nearby towns.
Yes. Smaller sizes like 3/8 inch crushed gravel compact tightly for a smooth finish. Larger sizes like 2 to 3 inches leave more voids and are harder to compact. The right size depends on the load the base needs to support.
A standard gravel driveway has a base that is typically 6 to 8 inches thick for light vehicle traffic. The local frost depth and soil conditions can change that requirement. Use our material calculators to help determine the depth for your project.
Ordering starts with knowing how many tons you need. Our material calculators make that step simple. Once you have the number, visit the Brockport hub to begin your order.
