Crushed Gravel ordered online by the ton. A dump truck delivers to your Geneva address and unloads right where you point.
Ashtabula County properties often need durable surfacing for driveways, paths and pads. Geneva gets about 47 inches of precipitation a year, so drainage and washout planning are key. Crushed gravel is angular and locks together, resisting erosion from rain and snowmelt.
Whether you need a base for a new driveway or fill for a muddy area, crushed gravel provides a stable surface. Gravel Monkey delivers bulk crushed gravel by the ton to Geneva addresses.
Crushed gravel comes in several sizes for different layers. The table below shows the sizes available and what each is best suited for.
| Product | Best for | Note |
|---|---|---|
| 3/8" Crushed Gravel | Fine compacting layer | Creates a smooth, tight surface for paths or patios. |
| 3/4" Crushed Gravel | Base and drives | The workhorse size for driveways and parking areas. |
| 1" - 1 1/2" Crushed Gravel | Structural base | Handles heavy loads like truck traffic and large equipment. |
| 1 1/2" Crushed Gravel | First lift over soft subgrade | Provides a stable layer before finer gravel on soft ground. |
| 2"-3" Crushed Gravel | Mud control and deep fill | Used for deep mud or to build up low areas with poor drainage. |
Here are typical jobs around Geneva and the recommended size for each.
| Project | What to order | Note |

Geneva has about 102 days a year with at least a tenth of an inch of rain. The ground stays wet for much of spring and fall, so schedule your delivery for a firm, dry site. This helps avoid ruts and compaction issues during placement.
With about 124 days a year below freezing, the work window for installing crushed gravel is limited to the warmer months. Ground that freezes deep moves as it thaws, which is why the base layer matters more here than the top layer. Plan to install the base before the ground freezes or after it has thawed completely.
Crushed gravel is sold by the ton. Measure the length, width and desired depth of the area, then use our material calculators to convert those dimensions into tons. The calculators account for the density of the gravel and a recommended compacted depth.
Order online by the ton, and delivery is priced by your ZIP code at checkout. You choose a delivery date at least 3 business days out and pick a window: morning (7 am to 12 pm) or afternoon (12 pm to 5 pm).

Depending on your project, you may need additional materials delivered to the same site.
Delivery cost is calculated by your ZIP code and the quantity you order at checkout. Geneva has about 90 inches of snowfall a year, which can occasionally affect delivery timing but not the base price. You will see the exact cost before you place the order.
Yes. The ground in Geneva freezes deep, so you may need a thicker base layer to prevent frost heave. This means you might order more crushed gravel than in milder climates. A deeper base ensures the surface stays level through freeze-thaw cycles.
Crushed gravel is sold by the ton. A cubic yard of gravel weighs about 1.4 tons, but the exact weight depends on the size and moisture content. Use the calculator to convert your volume to tons.
The size depends on the project. For a fine, walkable surface choose 3/8 inch. For a driveway base, 3/4 inch works best. Structural bases under heavy loads need 1 to 1.5 inch gravel. For deep fill or mud control, use 2 to 3 inch gravel.
