Crushed Gravel ordered online by the ton. A dump truck delivers to your Raeford address and unloads right where you point.
Crushed gravel in Raeford comes in sizes from fine to heavy structural. The size you choose changes how well it compacts and what loads it can support. Getting the right size for the job saves labor and material.
Raeford gets about 47 inches of precipitation a year. That means drainage and washout planning matter when you design a gravel surface. Good base preparation keeps the material in place year after year.
The most-ordered size for general use in Raeford is 3/4" Crushed Gravel. It works as a base for driveways, a compacted surface for parking areas, and a bedding layer for walks. Other sizes handle specific jobs, from fine topping to deep fill.
| Size | Use | Note |
| 3/8" Crushed Gravel | fine compacting layer | Compacts to a smooth surface; good for paths and under pavers. |
| 3/4" Crushed Gravel | the workhorse size for base and drives | Easy to spread and compact; the standard choice for most residential jobs. |
| 1" - 1 1/2" Crushed Gravel | structural base under heavy loads | Angular stone locks together to carry heavy trucks and equipment. |
| 1 1/2" Crushed Gravel | first lift over soft subgrade | Provides a stable base layer on soft ground before top dressing. |
| 2"-3" Crushed Gravel | mud control and deep fill | Large stone bridges over mud and fills deep ruts quickly. |

Soils mapped in the Raeford area are commonly well drained. That means you may need less base stone under the surface layer compared to poorly drained soils. The ground around Raeford takes in water at a moderate rate, so standard base depth is usually enough.
Raeford gets about 47 inches of precipitation a year. Drainage and washout planning matter when you design a gravel surface. With about 70 days a year that bring at least a tenth of an inch of rain, scheduling the delivery onto firm ground helps avoid a muddy mess.
About 58 days a year drop below 32F. That affects the work window and how much the ground moves. Work can run most of the year in this climate, which makes scheduling the delivery the easy part.
To figure the tonnage, multiply the area length by width by desired depth in feet. Divide by 27 to get cubic yards, then multiply by the material's density. Use our material calculators to do the math for you.
