Crushed Gravel ordered online by the ton. A dump truck delivers to your Remsen address and unloads right where you point.





The delivered price of crushed gravel comes down to what you need under the truck and how much it weighs. Remsen gets about 52 inches of precipitation a year, which makes drainage and washout planning a real concern for any new surface. The right base stone keeps water from pooling and spreading the gravel apart.
Gravel Monkey brings the load to your address by dump truck. You pick the size and the delivery day, and we handle everything else.
Each crushed gravel size has a job it does best. Choosing the wrong one means more work, not less. Below are the sizes we carry, with a note on what each is not suited for.
| Product | Best Use | Note |
|---|---|---|
| 3/8" Crushed Gravel | Fine compacting layer for paths and pads | Not for base under heavy vehicles; it lacks the interlock for load support. |
| 3/4" Crushed Gravel | The workhorse size for base and drives | Do not use as a top dressing on soft subgrade without a larger first lift. |
| 1" - 1 1/2" Crushed Gravel | Structural base under heavy loads | Too coarse for a final surface; it will stay loose. |
| 1 1/2" Crushed Gravel | First lift over soft subgrade | Not for thin layers; it needs depth to lock. |
| 2"-3" Crushed Gravel | Mud control and deep fill | Overkill for a flat pad; use only where stability is the single concern. |
The project type determines the depth and the size. This table matches five typical jobs to the right product.
| Project | What to Order | Depth or Note |
|---|---|---|
| Trench backfill | 2"-3" Crushed Gravel | Use as first lift over soft subgrade for drainage. |
| Compacted base | 3/4" Crushed Gravel | Standard base layer for drives. |
| Soft or muddy subgrade | 1 1/2" Crushed Gravel | Provides drainage and stability. |
| Shed or slab pad | 3/8" Crushed Gravel | Fine compaction layer. |
| Farm and site access road | 1" - 1 1/2" Crushed Gravel | Structural base under heavy loads. |
Remsen sees about 152 days a year when the temperature drops below 32°F. That freeze-thaw cycle works on an unstable base by pushing gravel apart and creating ruts. Spring thaw is the wet part of the year for driveways, and it is when a thin base shows up as ruts. A proper depth of crushed gravel keeps the ground movement from ruining the surface.
Snowfall averages about 158 inches annually. Plowing a loose gravel surface can scrape away material if the base is too shallow. Soils mapped in the Remsen area are commonly well drained, meaning the area generally needs less base stone under the surface layer than in heavier clay regions. The ground around Remsen takes water in at a moderate rate, so the standard base depth is usually enough for most residential projects.
Estimating tonnage starts with the length, width and depth of the area you want to cover. Our material calculators do the math for you. Enter your dimensions and the calculator tells you the approximate tons required. That number is the starting point for your order.

Crushed gravel often works alongside other materials for a complete job. Here are the options we deliver in Remsen.
Yes. Remsen averages about 52 inches of precipitation a year, which is above the national average. Without proper base stone and drainage, rain can wash gravel away from driveways and paths. Choosing the right crushed gravel size and depth helps prevent that.
Winter can affect delivery timing. The area sees about 158 inches of snowfall annually, and frozen ground makes site access trickier. Delivery is scheduled at least 3 business days out, so you can pick a window with firm ground and clear access. Gravel Monkey will keep you updated on any weather-related delays.
The driver will dump the load in the spot you specify at checkout, as close as access allows. The truck needs a road width of at least 12 feet. If space is tight, the crew unloads as near as safely possible.
The price is calculated based on your ZIP code and the tonnage you order. It includes the material, the truck, and the drop. You see the total at checkout before you confirm. There are no hidden fees.
