Crushed Gravel ordered online by the ton. A dump truck delivers to your Graham address and unloads right where you point.
Contractors typically order crushed gravel by the truckload for a whole site, while homeowners often need a more measured amount for a single project. Both groups share one question: how the material will hold up under local conditions. Graham sees about 78 days a year where the temperature drops below freezing, so the ground can move and a well-compacted base matters.
Whether you are laying a driveway or filling a muddy spot, choosing the right size and depth saves rework. Gravel Monkey delivers the crushed gravel you order by the ton, priced by your ZIP code at checkout, and drops it where you mark the spot.
Crushed gravel ranges from fine dust-and-stone blends up to large rock meant for mud control. Each size has a specific job. The table below lists the sizes we offer and what each does best.
| Product | Best for | Note |
|---|---|---|
| 3/8" Crushed Gravel | Fine compacting layer | Works as a top dressing or under pavers where a smooth finish is needed. |
| 3/4" Crushed Gravel | The workhorse size for base and drives | Handles vehicle weight and compacts into a firm surface. |
| 1" - 1 1/2" Crushed Gravel | Structural base under heavy loads | Used under concrete or asphalt where load-bearing capacity is critical. |
| 1 1/2" Crushed Gravel | First lift over soft subgrade | Bridges weak soil and spreads the load before a finer layer goes on top. |
| 2"-3" Crushed Gravel | Mud control and deep fill | Large angular stones lock together and keep equipment from sinking. |
Different ground problems call for different sizes. The table below pairs common project types with the crushed gravel that solves them.
| Project | What to order | Depth or note |
|---|---|---|
| Farm and site access road | 3/4" Crushed Gravel | 4 to 6 inches compacted over a geotextile fabric. |
| Compacted base for a parking area | 3/4" Crushed Gravel | 6 inches for light vehicles, 8 inches for trucks. |
| Shed or slab pad | 3/8" Crushed Gravel | 4 inches compacted, provides a stable support layer. |
| Soft or muddy subgrade | 1 1/2" Crushed Gravel | First lift 6 to 8 inches, then cap with 3/4". |
| Trench backfill | 3/4" Crushed Gravel | Fills void and allows drainage around pipes. |
Graham gets about 47 inches of precipitation a year, which means drainage and washout planning matter. The ground around Graham is in hydrologic group C, taking water in slowly and shedding a fair amount across the surface. A deeper drainage layer of crushed gravel earns its place under driveways and pads.
About 76 days a year bring at least a tenth of an inch of rain, so scheduling the delivery onto firm ground is important. Snowfall averages just 3 inches annually, but plowing a loose gravel surface can push material aside if the stones are not compacted. Work can run most of the year in this climate, which makes scheduling the delivery the easy part.
Ground freezing here is not a significant factor, so the base layer depth does not need extra allowance for frost heave. Alamance County permitted about 1,999 single-family homes in 2024, a county figure that points to ongoing demand for site-prep gravel.
Crushed gravel is sold by the ton. To estimate your tonnage, measure the length and width of the area in feet, multiply by the desired depth in feet, and divide by the material's compacted density. A quick way to get a reliable number is to use Gravel Monkey's material calculators, which account for the specific product and your project dimensions.
Ordering is straightforward. You choose the product and quantity online, enter your delivery ZIP code for a price, and pick a delivery window at checkout. The lead time is at least 3 business days from the order date. You choose morning (7 am to 12 pm) or afternoon (12 pm to 5 pm). A valid phone number is required; orders without one can be delayed.
You get an email confirmation when the order is placed, then a second email closer to the date with the scheduled window and a photo of the material being loaded. Delivery goes ahead only after you approve that second email. Someone must be at the site during the window. If access is restricted, the crew unloads as close as they safely can.

Delivery cost is calculated by your ZIP code at checkout. Gravel Monkey does not list a fixed price because it depends on distance to the supplier and the quantity ordered. The quoted price includes the material, delivery in a dump truck, and the chosen drop location on your property.
Yes. The ground is in hydrologic group C, meaning it takes water in slowly and sheds a fair amount across the surface. That behavior calls for a deeper drainage layer under crushed gravel to keep water from softening the subgrade. A thicker base than you might use on sandy soil is a good idea.
Orders must be placed at least 3 business days before the delivery date. That lead time gives Gravel Monkey time to source the material from a regional supplier and schedule the truck. Ordering a week ahead is common for larger projects.
Crushed gravel sizes describe the stone diameter after crushing. Smaller sizes like 3/8 inch compact into a tight, smooth surface. Larger sizes like 2 to 3 inches leave more open space between stones, which helps in mud and deep fill. Choose a size based on the load and the ground condition you are fixing.
You order by the ton, pay by ZIP code at checkout, and the truck arrives during your chosen window. No trip to a yard, no rental trailer. Start your order in Graham.
