Crushed Gravel ordered online by the ton. A dump truck delivers to your Catoosa address and unloads right where you point.
Crushed gravel comes in several sizes, and the right choice depends on the traffic load and the ground underneath. The workhorse size, 3/4" crushed gravel, handles most driveways and base layers, but finer and coarser grades each solve specific problems.
Ground around Catoosa is in hydrologic group D, which means it takes water in very slowly, so most rain runs across the surface. That runoff behavior makes drainage and a deeper base more important here than in many other areas.
The 3/4" crushed gravel is the most-ordered size for residential and light commercial jobs. The other sizes fill roles from a smooth final surface to a heavy first lift over soft ground.
| Product | What It's For | Note |
|---|---|---|
| 3/8" Crushed Gravel | Fine compacting layer | Creates a smooth, hard surface for pathways and under pavers. |
| 3/4" Crushed Gravel | The workhorse size for base and drives | Compacts well and supports daily vehicle traffic without shifting. |
| 1" - 1 1/2" Crushed Gravel | Structural base under heavy loads | Used beneath concrete slabs and for commercial parking areas. |
| 1 1/2" Crushed Gravel | First lift over soft subgrade | Bridges weak soil and spreads the weight of subsequent layers. |
| 2"-3" Crushed Gravel | Mud control and deep fill | Provides a stable footing in wet or low areas before finer stone goes on top. |
Match the product to the project and the ground conditions. Use the table below as a starting point for depth and product selection.
| Project | What to Order | Depth or Note |
|---|---|---|
| Soft or muddy subgrade | 2"-3" Crushed Gravel | Place 6 to 8 inches as a bridging lift before the base course. |
| Compacted base | 3/4" Crushed Gravel | Compact in 4-inch lifts to a total depth of 6 inches for drives. |
| Trench backfill | 1" - 1 1/2" Crushed Gravel | Fill in 6-inch lifts, tamping each layer for settlement control. |
| Shed or slab pad | 3/8" Crushed Gravel | Spread 4 inches and compact to a hard finish before pouring. |
| Farm and site access road | 1 1/2" Crushed Gravel | Use 8 to 10 inches over the subgrade, then cap with 3/4" if needed. |
Catoosa receives about 43 inches of precipitation a year. That much rain means washout and drainage planning is critical, especially on sloping sites. About 61 days a year bring at least a tenth of an inch of rain, which can delay scheduling if the ground stays soft.
The county's soils are mapped in hydrologic group D, so they absorb water very slowly. Most rainfall runs off the surface rather than soaking in. As a result, your crushed gravel base needs to handle runoff from above and provide a stable platform that does not trap water underneath.
Freezing temperatures occur about 81 days a year, dropping below 32F. Snowfall averages 8 inches annually, and plowing can disturb a loose surface if the top layer is not compacted. Ground freezing here is moderate, but freeze and thaw cycles work on loose material all winter, which is the argument for the deeper first lift. A thicker initial layer of 1 1/2" or 2"-3" crushed gravel reduces frost heave and keeps the base intact through the cold months.
Tonnage is calculated by multiplying the area by the depth and using a conversion factor for crushed gravel. Our material calculators let you enter your dimensions and see an instant tonnage estimate for each size.

Many contractors add a second material to the same delivery. These are the materials most often ordered alongside crushed gravel in Catoosa.
The delivered price depends on your ZIP code and the quantity you order. The delivery date is chosen at checkout and must be at least 3 business days after the order date. You see the exact total before you commit.
Yes. Because the ground around Catoosa takes water in very slowly, runoff is high. That means a deeper crushed gravel base is often needed to stay stable under traffic and prevent erosion. Factor in an extra 2 to 3 inches of base material compared to a well-drained site.
The five sizes range from the fine 3/8" crushed gravel, which compacts into a hard surface, up to the 2"-3" material that bridges soft ground. The 3/4" size is the standard for driveways, the 1" - 1 1/2" works under heavy loads, and the 1 1/2" is often the first lift over poor subgrade.
Yes. A contractor can place the order and list the customer's address for delivery. The person at the site must be available during the chosen window, and a valid phone number is needed for confirmation. The order confirmation goes to the email on file.
