Crushed Gravel ordered online by the ton. A dump truck delivers to your Mc Arthur address and unloads right where you point.
Mc Arthur gets about 43 inches of precipitation a year. That much rain means drainage and washout are real concerns when you choose a surface material. Crushed gravel's angular particles lock together and resist shifting under water flow, making it a solid choice for driveways and base layers that have to shed water.
The material's sharp edges help it compact into a stable mass, which matters when rain hits. You get a surface that stays in place longer than loose fill.
For most Mc Arthur jobs, the 3/4" crushed gravel is the workhorse. It compacts well for driveways and base layers. Other sizes serve specific needs from fine topping to deep fill.
| Product | What it's for | Note |
|---|---|---|
| 3/8" Crushed Gravel | fine compacting layer | Use for pathways or as a top dressing over a larger base. |
| 3/4" Crushed Gravel | the workhorse size for base and drives | The most ordered size for residential and commercial base work. |
| 1" - 1 1/2" Crushed Gravel | structural base under heavy loads | Ideal for roads or parking areas that see truck traffic. |
| 1 1/2" Crushed Gravel | first lift over soft subgrade | Use this as a bridging layer on unstable ground. |
| 2"-3" Crushed Gravel | mud control and deep fill | Great for muddy areas or filling deep ruts. |
Selecting the right size and depth depends on the project. Use this table as a starting point.

| Trench backfill | 3/4" Crushed Gravel | 6 to 12 inches, compacted in lifts |
| Farm and site access road | 1" - 1 1/2" Crushed Gravel | 8 to 12 inches base |
| Compacted base | 3/4" Crushed Gravel | 4 to 6 inches, compacted |
| Soft or muddy subgrade | 1 1/2" Crushed Gravel | 6 to 12 inches as first lift |
Mc Arthur's climate brings about 43 inches of precipitation each year. That volume of rain and snow means your crushed gravel base needs to handle water moving through and across it. A deeper drainage layer under the surface helps prevent washout and soft spots.
About 84 days a year bring measurable rain. Scheduling the delivery onto firm ground is easier when you avoid the wettest weeks. The truck needs a stable surface to dump the load.
Winter brings about 124 days below freezing. Freeze and thaw cycles work on loose material all winter, which is the argument for the deeper first lift. The ground around Mc Arthur is in hydrologic group C, so it takes water in slowly and sheds a fair amount across the surface. That behavior reinforces the need for a drainage layer that carries water away from the base.

Yes. Soils mapped in the Mc Arthur area are commonly moderately well drained. That means you may need less base stone under the surface layer than in poorly drained areas. But the soil water group C behavior means the surface layer should be designed to shed water, so adjust your base depth based on drainage needs.
