Crushed Gravel ordered online by the ton. A dump truck delivers to your Findlay address and unloads right where you point.
Crushed gravel is angular, fractured stone that locks together under compaction. Gravel Monkey sells it by the ton, online, and a dump truck delivers it to your address in Findlay. You pick the size and the delivery day.
Findlay gets about 38 inches of precipitation a year. That means drainage and washout are real concerns for any gravel surface, so the base preparation matters from the start.
Each size handles a different job. The wrong size can mean a surface that shifts, ruts, or drains poorly. Here is what every product from Gravel Monkey 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 | Compacts well and handles both light traffic and heavier loads. |
| 1" - 1 1/2" Crushed Gravel | Structural base under heavy loads | Used for the main load-bearing course on roads and parking areas. |
| 1 1/2" Crushed Gravel | First lift over soft subgrade | Bridges weak soil without pumping or mixing into the mud. |
| 2"-3" Crushed Gravel | Mud control and deep fill | Used for the bottom layer in wet areas or where the ground needs to be built up. |
The project type and the ground condition tell you what to order. The table below matches common Hancock County applications to the right crushed gravel size.
| Project | What to Order | Depth or Note |
|---|---|---|
| Shed or slab pad | 3/4" Crushed Gravel | 4 to 6 inches after compaction |
| Trench backfill | 3/4" Crushed Gravel | Compact in lifts |
| Farm and site access road | 1" - 1 1/2" Crushed Gravel | 8 to 12 inches base course |
| Compacted base for driveway | 3/4" Crushed Gravel | 4 to 6 inches, then surface layer |
| Soft or muddy subgrade | 1 1/2" Crushed Gravel | First lift 6 inches or more |
Soils around Findlay are often fine-grained and drain slowly. About 76 days a year bring at least a tenth of an inch of rain, so scheduling the delivery onto firm ground matters. Wet weather can turn a base course into mud before it is compacted.
About 124 days a year drop below 32F. That narrows the work window for grading and compaction. Hard freezes shape the calendar here, so base work is easier to get right from late spring through fall. Ground freezing here is deep and long, so the base layer needs to be thick enough to resist frost heave under a gravel surface.
Snowfall averages about 23 inches a year. Plowing a loose gravel surface can push the stone into the yard or create ruts, so a compacted top layer helps. The county permitted about 80 single-family homes in 2024, which means new driveways and pads are going in across the area.
Crushed gravel is sold by the ton, and the volume it covers depends on the depth you need. A general rule is that one ton of 3/4" crushed gravel covers about 100 square feet at 2 inches deep. To get a more exact number for your project, use the material calculators on the Gravel Monkey site. They ask for the area and the depth and return the tonnage.
Ordering is all online. You pick the crushed gravel size, enter your Findlay ZIP code, and the delivery price shows up at checkout. Loads run from 1 ton up to 40-plus tons in a single dump truck. Free delivery is available on qualifying orders, and first-time customers can use code FIRSTTIMER50 for $50 off their first order.
The delivery date you choose must be at least 3 business days after ordering. You pick a morning window (7 am to 12 pm) or an afternoon window (12 pm to 5 pm). A valid phone number is required so the driver can confirm the delivery. You get an email confirmation right after ordering, 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. You or someone you nominate must be at the site during the window. If nobody is there, a missed-delivery fee can apply and the order is not refunded.
The site needs a road width of at least 12 feet for the truck. For more on how it works, read the delivery information, see about Gravel Monkey, and check customer reviews (no ratings or review counts are published here).
Crushed gravel is a base material, but it often sits under or beside other loads. These materials pair with it for a complete job.
The tonnage depends on the area you are covering and the depth you want. A rough starting point is that one ton of 3/4" crushed gravel covers about 100 square feet at 2 inches deep. For an exact number, use Gravel Monkey's online calculator, which accounts for the depth and material density.
Yes, Gravel Monkey delivers crushed gravel to any address in Findlay and throughout Hancock County. The delivery is by dump truck, and you choose the date and window when you order. The lead time is at least 3 business days after the order date, and a valid phone number is required to confirm the drop.
Crushed gravel is not suitable as a top layer where a smooth, rounded surface is needed, such as a play area or a decorative walkway where bare feet or children play. It also does not work well directly over soft clay without a thicker base layer, because the angular stone can push into the mud. For those uses, sand or a different gravel grade may be better.
The delivery price is calculated at checkout based on the delivery ZIP code, the material tonnage, and the distance from the nearest regional supplier. Gravel Monkey does not publish pricing online because it varies by location and order size. The price you see in the cart is the delivered price, with no extra fees for the truck or the drop.
Whether you are building a shed pad or fixing a muddy access road, crushed gravel is the base that holds. Order online from Gravel Monkey, and a dump truck brings the load to your address. For more options in Findlay, check the Findlay hub page.
