Crushed Gravel Sizes Available for Windsor Projects
Crushed gravel comes in different sizes, each suited to a specific job. Larger, angular stones form a stable base that resists shifting, while smaller sizes compact into a smooth surface. Here are the sizes we offer and what they do best.

| 3/8" Crushed Gravel | Fine compacting layer | Ideal as a top dressing or under slabs where a smooth finish matters. |
| 3/4" Crushed Gravel | The workhorse size for base and drives | Handles traffic and compacts well for driveways and parking areas. |
| 1" - 1 1/2" Crushed Gravel | Structural base under heavy loads | Provides a strong foundation for commercial or heavy residential use. |
| 1 1/2" Crushed Gravel | First lift over soft subgrade | Stabilizes ground that is muddy or prone to settling before adding finer stone. |
| 2"-3" Crushed Gravel | Mud control and deep fill | Used in deep fills or where heavy equipment must move without sinking. |

How Windsor's Weather and Soil Affect Your Crushed Gravel Installation
Bertie County, where Windsor sits, permitted about 46 single-family homes in 2024, so new construction is common. Windsor gets about 51 inches of precipitation a year, so drainage matters for any gravel base.
About 79 days a year bring at least a tenth of an inch of rain, so schedule the delivery onto firm ground rather than after a wet spell. Frost is not the constraint here, so the calendar is driven by rain and by how wet the ground is. About 52 days a year drop below 32F, but the ground does not freeze enough to lift a gravel surface.
Soils mapped in the Windsor area are commonly very poorly drained, so you may need more base stone under the surface layer. The ground around Windsor is in dual hydrologic group B/D. Where it is drained it takes water in at a moderate rate; where it is not it takes water in very slowly, so most rain runs across the surface and drainage and a deeper base matter more here.

Frequently Asked Questions About Crushed Gravel in Windsor
Does the soil around Windsor change how much crushed gravel I need?
Yes. Soils mapped in the Windsor area are commonly very poorly drained, so you will likely need a thicker base layer than on well-drained ground. The extra depth keeps the gravel stable when the ground stays wet.
Do winter conditions in Windsor affect delivery?
About 52 days a year drop below freezing, but the ground does not freeze deep enough to interfere with gravel installation. Delivery can proceed year-round, though rain can delay scheduling. The main winter concern is confirming the drop point stays accessible.
What surface does the truck need to reach the drop point?
The truck needs a road width of at least 12 feet for safe access. If your property has narrow gates, tight corners or soft ground, let us know so we can plan the delivery accordingly. The crew will unload as close to the requested spot as safely possible.
How do I know how deep to go?
The correct depth depends on the load and subgrade conditions. Use our material calculators to test different depths and get an accurate tonnage estimate.
