Crushed Gravel ordered online by the ton. A dump truck delivers to your Wadsworth address and unloads right where you point.
Wadsworth gets about 42 inches of precipitation a year, so drainage and washout planning matter when you choose crushed gravel. An angular, interlocking aggregate holds its position better than rounded stone and lets water pass through without shifting the surface.
Crusher-run gravel works for driveways, base layers, and any spot where you need a stable, water-shedding surface. The right size depends on the load, the subgrade, and how much traffic the area gets.
The most-ordered crushed gravel in Wadsworth is 3/4" Crushed Gravel, the workhorse size for base layers and driveways. The table below lists every size we stock and what each one does best.
| Product | What it is for | Note |
|---|---|---|
| 3/8" Crushed Gravel | Fine compacting layer | Good for paths and under pavers where a smooth finish is needed. |
| 3/4" Crushed Gravel | The workhorse size for base and drives | Drains well and compacts into a firm, all-purpose surface. |
| 1" - 1 1/2" Crushed Gravel | Structural base under heavy loads | Ideal for truck traffic, parking areas, and equipment pads. |
| 1 1/2" Crushed Gravel | First lift over soft subgrade | Bridges weak spots before you add a finer top layer. |
| 2"-3" Crushed Gravel | Mud control and deep fill | Stops rutting where the ground stays wet or soft. |
The table below shows which crushed gravel size to order for five common projects, along with a typical depth.
| Project | What to order | Depth or note |
|---|---|---|
| Shed or slab pad | 3/4" Crushed Gravel | 4 to 6 inches compacted as a stable base. |
| Trench backfill | 3/8" Crushed Gravel | Fine material that fills tight spaces and compacts around pipes. |
| Farm and site access road | 1 1/2" Crushed Gravel | 6 to 8 inches as a first lift over existing ground. |
| Soft or muddy subgrade | 2"-3" Crushed Gravel | 8 to 12 inches to bridge soft spots and stop mud. |
| Compacted base under heavy loads | 1" - 1 1/2" Crushed Gravel | 4 to 6 inches, topped with a finer layer for traffic. |
Soils mapped in the Wadsworth area are commonly moderately well drained. This means the base layer under your crushed gravel may need to be thicker or thinner depending on the exact spot on your property. The ground around Wadsworth is in dual hydrologic group C/D, so drainage and a deeper base matter more here than in many other places. Where the soil is drained it takes water in slowly and sheds a fair amount across the surface; where it is not drained, most rain runs across the surface. That makes the depth of your base stone extra important.
About 82 days a year bring at least a tenth of an inch of rain, so scheduling the delivery onto firm ground is important. About 129 days a year drop below 32F. Freeze and thaw cycles work on loose material all winter, which is the argument for the deeper first lift. Snowfall averages about 36 inches a year, and plowing can damage a loose surface, so a compacted top layer helps protect the driveway.
Calculating the tonnage starts with the length and width of the area and the depth you choose. Multiply those dimensions to get cubic feet, then convert using the material's density. Use our material calculators to get a tonnage estimate for your specific project.

Crushed gravel often goes in the same load as other materials for a complete job.
Delivery cost is calculated at checkout based on your ZIP code. Because ground freezing in Wadsworth is real but moderate, a deeper base layer may be needed, which increases the tonnage and therefore the cost.
Yes. Soils mapped in the Wadsworth area are commonly moderately well drained, so how much base stone you need under the surface layer depends on your specific site. The soil water group is C/D, meaning drainage matters more here than in areas with better-draining soils.
The smallest size, 3/8" crushed gravel, compacts into a smooth finish for paths and under pavers. The 3/4" size is the all-purpose driveway and base material. The two largest sizes, 1"-1 1/2" and 2"-3", are for structural bases and mud control under heavy loads.
