Crushed Gravel we deliver in Cameron
Crushed Gravel in Cameron
Cameron gets about 47 inches of precipitation a year. That means drainage and washout planning are part of every crushed gravel job. Compacting the right base keeps your surface stable through the wet months.
Crushed gravel is an angular aggregate that locks together under load. It works for driveways, pads, and access roads. The key is matching the size to the project and the site conditions.
Crushed Gravel Sizes Available in Cameron
The most frequently ordered size for base and drive work is 3/4" Crushed Gravel. It compacts well and handles light truck traffic. The table below lists all the sizes we stock and what each is best for.
| Product | Best use | Note |
|---|---|---|
| 3/8" Crushed Gravel | Fine compacting layer | Good for a smooth finish over a base, similar to a chip seal surface. |
| 3/4" Crushed Gravel | The workhorse size for base and drives | Compacts into a firm, load-bearing surface for residential drives. |
| 1" - 1 1/2" Crushed Gravel | Structural base under heavy loads | Used under concrete or asphalt where weight distribution is critical. |
| 1 1/2" Crushed Gravel | First lift over soft subgrade | A coarse starter layer that bridges soft spots before smaller gravel goes on top. |
| 2"-3" Crushed Gravel | Mud control and deep fill | Largest size for stabilizing wet ground or filling deep ruts in farm roads. |
Common Jobs and Recommended Crushed Gravel Sizes in Cameron
The table below matches typical projects to the right crushed gravel size and a recommended depth. Use it as a starting point; your exact tonnage depends on the footprint and subgrade condition.
| Project | What to order | Depth or note |
|---|---|---|
| Compacted base | 3/4" Crushed Gravel | 4 inches after compaction, more if the ground is soft. |
| Shed or slab pad | 3/4" Crushed Gravel | 6 inches for a compacted base under a concrete slab. |
| Trench backfill | 3/4" Crushed Gravel | Fill in lifts and tamp; use 3/8" for the top inch. |
| Soft or muddy subgrade | 1 1/2" Crushed Gravel | 8 to 12 inches as a bridging layer, then top with 3/4". |
| Farm and site access road | 3/4" Crushed Gravel | 6 to 8 inches compacted; consider 2"-3" for first lift if very wet. |
Local Conditions That Affect Your Crushed Gravel Job in Cameron
About 71 days a year bring at least a tenth of an inch of rain. That many wet days means scheduling delivery onto firm ground matters. You want the subgrade dry enough to compact properly, not churned up by the truck.
About 77 days a year drop below 32F. Freeze-thaw cycles can shift a poorly drained base, so good drainage under your crushed gravel is important. Snowfall averages about 2 inches a year; plowing a loose surface can push gravel around, but that volume is manageable.
Soils mapped in the Cameron area are commonly well drained. That usually means less base stone is needed under the surface layer compared to heavy clay soils. The ground around Cameron is in hydrologic group B, which means it takes water in at a moderate rate. Standard base depth is usually enough for most projects. Work can run most of the year in this climate, which makes scheduling the delivery the easy part.

Frequently Asked Questions About Crushed Gravel in Cameron
Does the soil around Cameron change how much crushed gravel I need?
Yes. Soils mapped in the Cameron area are commonly well drained, which means a standard base depth is usually enough. The ground takes water in at a moderate rate, so you typically do not need extra base stone to handle runoff. Your own soil may vary, so check the subgrade before ordering.
What is the smallest load of crushed gravel you deliver to Cameron?
The smallest load is one ton. With about 71 wet days a year, it helps to schedule delivery during a drier stretch so the dump truck can access your site without churning up the ground. You can order more than 40 tons in a single load if needed.
Do you deliver to a job site with no one on it?
No. You or someone you nominate must be at the site during the delivery window. The driver needs approval to dump, and a valid phone number is required to confirm the delivery ahead of time. If no one is there, a missed delivery or redelivery fee can apply and the order is not refunded.
What is the difference between the sizes you stock?
The size refers to the diameter of the crushed pieces, from 3/8 inch up to 3 inches. Smaller sizes like 3/8 inch work as a compact topping, while larger sizes like 2 to 3 inches are for mud control and deep fill. Each size has a specific role in building a stable, load-bearing surface.
