Crushed Gravel ordered online by the ton. A dump truck delivers to your Mansfield address and unloads right where you point.
Mansfield gets about 42 inches of precipitation a year. That rainfall makes drainage a critical part of any crushed gravel project. Choosing the right base depth and material helps prevent washout and keeps your surface stable through the wettest months.
Crushed gravel is graded by size, and each one serves a specific purpose in construction. The table below lists the sizes you can order for delivery to a Mansfield address.
| Size | Best Used For | Note |
|---|---|---|
| 3/8" Crushed Gravel | Fine compacting layer | A tight surface for paths and under pavers. |
| 3/4" Crushed Gravel | The workhorse size for base and drives | Handles load well and compacts densely. |
| 1" - 1 1/2" Crushed Gravel | Structural base under heavy loads | Used beneath concrete and large equipment pads. |
| 1 1/2" Crushed Gravel | First lift over soft subgrade | Bridges soft ground before a finer topping. |
| 2"-3" Crushed Gravel | Mud control and deep fill | Best for building up deep areas or muddy sites. |
Match your project with the recommended crushed gravel size and depth. This table shows what to order for common jobs.
| Project | What to Order | Depth or Note |
|---|---|---|
| Trench backfill | 3/4" Crushed Gravel | 6 to 8 inches, compacted in lifts. |
| Farm and site access road | 3/4" Crushed Gravel | 8 to 12 inches over geotextile fabric. |
| Soft or muddy subgrade | 1 1/2" Crushed Gravel | 12 to 18 inches as a bridging layer. |
| Shed or slab pad | 3/8" Crushed Gravel | 4 to 6 inches, well compacted. |
| Compacted base | 1" - 1 1/2" Crushed Gravel | 6 to 10 inches depending on load. |
Mansfield has about 85 wet days a year. Scheduling your delivery onto firm ground is easier if you pick a dry stretch. About 130 days a year drop below freezing, which limits the working season for grading and compacting the material.
The area gets about 26 inches of snow. Plowing a loose crushed gravel surface can push the material around if the base is not thick enough to stay rigid. Ground here freezes deep and stays frozen for long periods, so the base layer must extend deep enough to resist movement from thaw cycles. Ground that freezes deep moves as it thaws, which is why the base layer matters more here than the top layer.
The ground around Mansfield takes water in slowly and sheds a fair amount across the surface. A deeper drainage layer below the crushed gravel earns its place by moving that water away from the base and preventing softening.
Estimating the right amount of crushed gravel starts with the project area and the depth you plan to reach. Crushed gravel is sold by the ton, and the cubic yardage depends on the specific weight of the stone. Use our material calculators to figure out how many tons your trench, driveway or pad requires before you place an order.
Ordering crushed gravel in Mansfield is done entirely online. You pick the product and the quantity in tons, and the delivery price is calculated by your ZIP code at checkout.

You choose a delivery window: morning from 7 am to 12 pm, or afternoon from 12 pm to 5 pm. A valid phone number is required to confirm the delivery. You get an email confirmation immediately, then a second email closer to the date with the scheduled window and a photo of the material being loaded. You must approve that second email for the delivery to proceed. Someone needs to be at the site during the window, and the truck needs at least 12 feet of road width to access the drop spot.
The delivery date is at least 3 business days after the order date. Learn more about the process on our About Gravel Monkey page, read Customer reviews, or review the full Delivery information.
Crushed gravel is often used alongside other materials. You can order them together for delivery to Mansfield.
Yes. Because the local soil takes water in slowly and sheds a fair amount across the surface, a deeper drainage layer of crushed gravel is typically needed to prevent base failure. The exact depth depends on the project and the subgrade conditions.
The smallest load you can order is 1 ton. Since crushed gravel is sold by the ton, the cubic yardage you get for that price will vary by the material's density.
Yes. Smaller crushed gravel, like 3/8", has more contact points and compacts into a tighter surface. Larger sizes, like 1 1/2", leave more voids and are used for drainage or structural depth before compaction.
Crushed gravel is measured and sold by the ton. When you place an order on the Gravel Monkey website, you specify the number of tons. The cubic yard coverage for that tonnage depends on the specific size and weight of the gravel.
Whether you are building a driveway, a shed pad, or a farm road, crushed gravel from Gravel Monkey is delivered straight to your address. Use the calculator to estimate your tonnage, then place your order online. Find more options on the Mansfield materials page.
