Crushed Gravel ordered online by the ton. A dump truck delivers to your Currituck address and unloads right where you point.
When people order crushed gravel for the first time, they often pick a rounded stone by mistake. Crushed gravel is angular and locks together under compaction, which makes it suitable for driveways and structural base layers.
Currituck gets about 51 inches of precipitation a year. That much rainfall means the stone you put down needs to drain well and stay in place. Crushed gravel meets both needs because the angular particles resist washout and interlock to spread loads.
Choose a crushed gravel size based on whether the stone will sit on top or form a base. The table below lists the products Gravel Monkey offers and what each does best.
| Product | Best use | Note |
|---|---|---|
| 3/8" Crushed Gravel | Fine compacting layer | Use as a leveling course on top of larger base stone. |
| 3/4" Crushed Gravel | The workhorse size for base and drives | Works for most residential and light commercial loads. |
| 1" - 1 1/2" Crushed Gravel | Structural base under heavy loads | Good for truck access and equipment storage areas. |
| 1 1/2" Crushed Gravel | First lift over soft subgrade | Provides a stable platform for thinner surface stone. |
| 2"-3" Crushed Gravel | Mud control and deep fill | Best for wet spots and deep base layers in poor soil. |
For each project below, the recommendation balances initial cost with long-term durability. The options are listed from lighter to heavier duty.
| Project | What to order | Depth or note |
|---|---|---|
| Farm and site access road | 3/4" Crushed Gravel | 4 to 6 inches after compaction. |
| Compacted base | 3/8" Crushed Gravel | 2 to 3 inches as a leveling layer. |
| Trench backfill | 1" - 1 1/2" Crushed Gravel | Compact in 6-inch lifts. |
| Shed or slab pad | 3/8" Crushed Gravel | 2 to 3 inches on top of base stone. |
| Soft or muddy subgrade | 2"-3" Crushed Gravel | 6 to 8 inches as a first lift. |
Currituck receives about 51 inches of precipitation a year, so drainage and washout planning matter. With about 79 days a year that bring at least a tenth of an inch of rain, scheduling the delivery onto firm ground requires a dry stretch. Work can run most of the year in this climate, which makes scheduling the delivery the easy part.
About 52 days a year drop below 32F, and the area gets about 3 inches of snowfall. Freeze-thaw cycles and plowing can disturb a loose surface, so a well-compacted crushed gravel driveway holds up better. Ground freezing here is not a significant factor, which means the base layer depth is governed by load, not frost penetration.
Soils mapped in the Currituck area are commonly moderately well drained. That condition influences how much base stone goes under the surface layer. Ground around Currituck takes water in slowly and sheds a fair amount across the surface, so a deeper drainage layer earns its place under driveways and pads. Currituck County permitted about 429 single-family homes in 2024, a figure that suggests steady demand for base stone on new lots.

Yes, Gravel Monkey delivers crushed gravel to Currituck and the rest of Currituck County. Currituck County permitted about 429 single-family homes in 2024, many of which need base stone for driveways and pads. We also serve nearby cities such as Moyock and Corolla.
A driveway or parking area that supports cars or light trucks needs a compacted base of 4 to 6 inches of crushed gravel. Use 3/4" crushed gravel for the base and a 2-inch top layer of 3/8" crushed gravel for a smooth surface.
A typical gravel driveway is built with 6 to 8 inches of total depth. Start with 4 to 6 inches of 3/4" crushed gravel, compact it, then add 2 inches of 3/8" crushed gravel. If the subgrade is soft, use a 2"-3" crushed gravel first lift before the base layer.
