Crushed Gravel ordered online by the ton. A dump truck delivers to your Lisbon address and unloads right where you point.
Ransom County properties, from farm lanes to in-town lots, often need crushed gravel for a stable base. Lisbon gets about 24 inches of precipitation a year, so drainage and washout planning matter for any gravel surface.
You can order the size you need by the ton and have it delivered straight to your address. Gravel Monkey sources from regional suppliers, so the material fits the local ground.
Crushed gravel comes in angular particles that lock together under compaction. The size you pick depends on the load and the depth required. Each product below serves a specific purpose.
| Product | Best for | Note |
|---|---|---|
| 3/8" Crushed Gravel | Fine compacting layer | Works as a top dressing or under pavers |
| 3/4" Crushed Gravel | The workhorse size for base and drives | Most common for driveways and parking areas |
| 1" - 1 1/2" Crushed Gravel | Structural base under heavy loads | Used where trucks or equipment drive regularly |
| 1 1/2" Crushed Gravel | First lift over soft subgrade | Bridges weak soil before a finer layer |
| 2"-3" Crushed Gravel | Mud control and deep fill | Stabilizes wet areas and fills ruts |
The table below matches common jobs with the right crushed gravel product. Choose the depth based on traffic and soil conditions.
| Project | What to order | Depth or note |
|---|---|---|
| Trench backfill | 3/4" Crushed Gravel | Compact in lifts, total depth varies |
| Compacted base | 3/4" Crushed Gravel | 4 to 6 inches after compaction |
| Soft or muddy subgrade | 1 1/2" Crushed Gravel | 6 to 8 inches, then top with 3/4" |
| Farm and site access road | 1" - 1 1/2" Crushed Gravel | 8 to 12 inches, depending on traffic |
| Shed or slab pad | 3/4" Crushed Gravel | 4 inches, compacted and levelled |
About 178 days a year drop below 32F in Lisbon. That many freezes mean the ground moves, so base depth matters. Plan your crushed gravel work around the frost cycle.
Lisbon gets about 46 inches of snowfall a year. Plowing over a loose crushed gravel surface can push the material aside, so a well-compacted top layer helps. The soils mapped in the Lisbon area are commonly moderately well drained, so you may need more or less base stone under the surface layer, this is area guidance, not your specific soil.
Hard freezes shape the calendar here, so base work is easier to get right from late spring through fall. The ground around Lisbon is in hydrologic group B, which means it takes water in at a moderate rate, so standard base depth is usually enough.
Order by the ton, not by the yard. To estimate tonnage, measure the area in square feet and multiply by the depth in inches, then divide by a factor that accounts for material density. Use our material calculators to get a solid estimate for your project. The calculator asks for the area, depth and product type.

Crushed gravel works well with other bulk materials. Consider these options for your job.
Yes, because soils mapped in the Lisbon area are commonly moderately well drained. That means the base layer under crushed gravel may need adjustment, more stone where drainage is slower, less where it is faster. This is area guidance, not a site-specific soil test.
With about 178 freezing days a year, late spring through fall offers the best conditions. Hard freezes lift and shift the ground, so base work is easier to get right after the frost leaves and before it returns.
Crushed gravel is angular and locks together, so it is not a good choice for playgrounds or areas where barefoot traffic is common. It also does not work well as a topsoil substitute for planting beds.
Yes. A contractor can place an order and choose the delivery window. The delivery confirmation process applies the same way, and the person at the site must be available during the window.
