Crushed Gravel ordered online by the ton. A dump truck delivers to your Ironton address and unloads right where you point.
Ironton gets about 45 inches of precipitation a year, so drainage and washout planning matter when you put down an aggregate layer. The right crushed gravel handles that water flow without turning into a muddy mess.
For contractors, crushed gravel is the angular, interlocking material that stays put on slopes and under load. Gravel Monkey delivers several sizes to match the job, from fine topping to deep fill.
Each size solves a different problem on site. The table below lists what is available and where each one works best.
| Product | What It Is For | Note |
|---|---|---|
| 3/8" Crushed Gravel | Fine compacting layer | Good under pavers and as a topdressing for walkways. |
| 3/4" Crushed Gravel | The workhorse size for base and drives | Balances compaction with drainage for most residential jobs. |
| 1" - 1 1/2" Crushed Gravel | Structural base under heavy loads | Used under concrete slabs and equipment pads. |
| 1 1/2" Crushed Gravel | First lift over soft subgrade | Stops the base from pumping up through a weaker soil. |
| 2"-3" Crushed Gravel | Mud control and deep fill | Bridging material for wet, low-lying areas or utility trenches. |
Match the project to the product based on traffic and subgrade conditions. Here is a quick reference.
| Project | What to Order | Depth or Note |
|---|---|---|
| Shed or slab pad | 3/4" Crushed Gravel | 4 inches compacted over a geotextile if the soil is soft. |
| Trench backfill | 1 1/2" Crushed Gravel | Place in lifts and compact each 8 inches. |
| Compacted base | 3/4" Crushed Gravel | 6 inches for driveways, 4 inches for walkways. |
| Soft or muddy subgrade | 1" - 1 1/2" Crushed Gravel | Start with a 6-inch lift to stabilize the surface. |
| Farm and site access road | 2"-3" Crushed Gravel | 8 to 12 inches for heavy equipment and wet crossings. |
Ironton sees about 10 inches of snow each year, and plowing a loose gravel drive can push the surface into ruts. A well-compacted base with angular crushed gravel resists that damage better than rounded stone. The ground here freezes to a moderate depth, so planning the first lift thickness matters for keeping the surface level through spring thaw.
Freeze and thaw cycles work on loose material all winter, which is the argument for the deeper first lift. The angular edges of crushed gravel lock together, holding the surface stable under the repeated freeze-thaw movement. A 6-inch base layer of 1 1/2" material is a typical starting point for new gravel drives in this area.
Coverage depends on depth and area. A 4-inch layer of crushed gravel covers about 100 square feet per ton, but that changes with compaction and the specific blend.

Yes, because Ironton sees about 109 days a year below freezing, the ground moves with freeze-thaw cycles. A thicker base layer of crushed gravel is usually needed to keep the surface level. Plan for a 6-inch base instead of a 4-inch one if the soil is clay-heavy or poorly drained.
