Crushed Gravel ordered online by the ton. A dump truck delivers to your London address and unloads right where you point.
Many people order crushed gravel expecting any angular rock will do. The mistake is picking a single size for every job. London gets about 42 inches of rain a year, so drainage matters more than in drier areas. Too fine a stone can wash away under heavy traffic.
Choose a base layer that drains and a surface layer that compacts tight. That combination gives you a driveway or pad that holds up through Ohio winters.
For crushed gravel you split the job into a base layer and a finish layer. Smaller sizes compact into a smooth surface; larger sizes create a stable foundation. The table below lists every size we offer.
| Product | Best for | Note |
|---|---|---|
| 3/8" Crushed Gravel | fine compacting layer | Use as a top-dressing or path surface after a base is down. |
| 3/4" Crushed Gravel | the workhorse size for base and drives | Most common choice for driveways, slabs and compacted fill. |
| 1" - 1 1/2" Crushed Gravel | structural base under heavy loads | Used for roads, equipment parking and deep foundation layers. |
| 1 1/2" Crushed Gravel | first lift over soft subgrade | Spread as the initial layer on unstable or wet ground. |
| 2"-3" Crushed Gravel | mud control and deep fill | For swampy spots, deep foundation fill or muddy access routes. |
Every project can use a budget approach or a long-term build. The table below shows typical choices for common jobs in the London area.
| Project | What to order | Depth or note |
|---|---|---|
| shed or slab pad | Base: 3/4" Crushed Gravel; top: 3/8" Crushed Gravel | 4 to 6 inches base, 1 to 2 inches top |
| compacted base | 3/4" Crushed Gravel | 6 inches compacted |
| soft or muddy subgrade | First lift: 1 1/2" Crushed Gravel; second: 3/4" Crushed Gravel | 8 to 12 inches total |
| farm and site access road | 1" - 1 1/2" Crushed Gravel | 6 to 8 inches |
| trench backfill | 2"-3" Crushed Gravel | fill to trench depth |
London has about 79 days a year with measurable rain. Scheduling delivery when the ground is firm helps avoid ruts from the truck. Plan your project around drier periods if possible.
About 121 days each year drop below freezing. Frost can shift an unsettled base, so proper compaction is critical. Winters here are cold enough to move an unsettled base, so compaction is worth the extra pass.
Soils mapped in the London area are commonly somewhat poorly drained. Where the ground is drained it takes water in slowly; where it is not most rain runs across the surface. That means drainage and a deeper base matter more here than in many other places. Madison County permitted about 397 single-family homes in 2024, many of which will need a stable gravel base for driveways and pads.
