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





If you are building a driveway, a shed pad, or a parking area in Avon, crushed gravel gives you a stable, all-weather surface. With about 58 inches of precipitation a year, drainage is a key concern, and crushed gravel's angular particles lock together to resist washout.
Two popular options are 3/4" Crushed Gravel for general base work and 1 1/2" Crushed Gravel for the first lift over soft subgrade. Both are sold by the ton and delivered to your address.
For most projects you need a sturdy base layer and sometimes a finer finish layer. The table below lists the crushed gravel sizes available in Avon and what each one does best.
| Product | Best used for | Note |
|---|---|---|
| 3/8" Crushed Gravel | Fine compacting layer for walkways and topping | Blends into a smooth, firm surface. |
| 3/4" Crushed Gravel | The workhorse size for base and drives | Handles light vehicle traffic well. |
| 1" - 1 1/2" Crushed Gravel | Structural base under heavy loads | Ideal under concrete or asphalt. |
| 1 1/2" Crushed Gravel | First lift over soft subgrade | Bridges weak spots without pushing in. |
| 2"-3" Crushed Gravel | Mud control and deep fill | Used where drainage and stability matter most. |
The table below shows budget-friendly options and longer-term solutions for common jobs. Pick the size that matches the load and the ground conditions.
| Project | What to order | Depth or note |
|---|---|---|
| Shed or slab pad | 3/4" Crushed Gravel | Compact a layer that supports the structure. |
| Trench backfill | 1 1/2" Crushed Gravel | Use angular stone that locks together. |
| Farm and site access road | 3/4" Crushed Gravel or 1" - 1 1/2" Crushed Gravel | Top with 3/8" crushed gravel for a smoother finish. |
| Soft or muddy subgrade | 2"-3" Crushed Gravel | Bridges soft spots without sinking in. |
| Compacted base | 3/4" Crushed Gravel | The workhorse layer for most load-bearing jobs. |
About 80 days a year bring at least a tenth of an inch of rain in Avon, so planning your delivery for a dry stretch helps keep the ground firm. The county sees about 18 freezing days per year, which means a longer working season compared to colder regions.
Snowfall is light at about 1 inch per year, so plowing damage to a loose gravel surface is rarely a concern. Without a hard freeze to lift the surface, drainage and washout are what decide how long the material lasts.
Soils mapped in the Avon area are commonly moderately well drained, and the ground around Avon soaks water up quickly, producing little runoff. This means you may need less drainage stone under the surface layer than in areas with tighter soils.
To estimate how many tons of crushed gravel you need, measure the length and width of the area in feet and multiply by the desired depth in inches. The Gravel Monkey material calculators do the math for you, turning your measurements into a tonnage number. Order by the ton; the price is calculated at checkout based on your ZIP code.

The depth depends on the weight of the vehicles and the condition of the subgrade. For passenger cars, a shallower layer may be sufficient, but heavy trucks need a deeper base. Use the Gravel Monkey material calculators to determine the right depth for your specific project.
A gravel driveway depth depends on the soil conditions and expected traffic. On the well-drained soils common in the Avon area, you may need less base material than on clay soils. The material calculators can help you estimate the depth needed.
