Crushed Gravel ordered online by the ton. A dump truck delivers to your Chelsea address and unloads right where you point.
Chelsea gets about 45 inches of precipitation a year, so any gravel surface you lay needs good drainage and a stable base. Crushed gravel handles that well, with angular stones that lock together and shed water.
You order by the ton online, and a dump truck brings it to your address. No trip to a yard, no need to rent a trailer. Choose your size, pick a delivery window, and use the material calculators to estimate the quantity.
Crushed gravel is graded by stone size, and each size suits a different layer or use. The table below lists every size we stock, what it does best, and a note on how to apply it.
| Size | Best for | Note |
|---|---|---|
| 3/8" Crushed Gravel | Fine compacting layer | Smooths over larger stone; good under pavers. |
| 3/4" Crushed Gravel | The workhorse size for base and drives | Widely used; drains well and compacts firmly. |
| 1" - 1 1/2" Crushed Gravel | Structural base under heavy loads | Good depth for dump truck traffic. |
| 1 1/2" Crushed Gravel | First lift over soft subgrade | Bridges weak spots before finer stone goes on. |
| 2"-3" Crushed Gravel | Mud control and deep fill | Large stones for wet sites and deep ruts. |
Each project type needs a specific size and depth. Use this table as a starting point; the material calculators can refine the amount.
| Project | What to order | Depth or note |
|---|---|---|
| Soft or muddy subgrade | 2"-3" Crushed Gravel | First lift at least 4 inches deep. |
| Compacted base | 3/4" Crushed Gravel | Spread and compact in 4-inch lifts. |
| Trench backfill | 1" - 1 1/2" Crushed Gravel | Fills evenly without bridging voids. |
| Farm and site access road | 3/4" Crushed Gravel with 1 1/2" under soft spots | Top 2 to 3 inches of 3/4" finished surface. |
| Shed or slab pad | 3/4" Crushed Gravel over compacted subgrade | 4 to 6 inches after compaction. |
Soils mapped in the Chelsea area are commonly somewhat poorly drained. That means more base stone is needed under the surface layer to keep water from softening the foundation. The ground around Chelsea is in dual hydrologic group C/D: where it is drained it takes water in slowly and sheds a fair amount across the surface; where it is not, it takes water in very slowly, so most rain runs across the surface. Drainage and a deeper base matter more here than elsewhere, depending on your site's drainage.
About 94 days a year drop below 32F. That freeze-thaw cycle can move an unsettled base. About 8 inches of snowfall a year means plowing can damage a loose surface. Winters here are cold enough to move an unsettled base, so compaction is worth the extra pass.

Yes. Soils mapped in the Chelsea area are commonly somewhat poorly drained. That often means you need a deeper base of coarse crushed gravel to keep water from turning the foundation into mud. Check your site's drainage; a wet area may require 2 to 4 inches more base than a well-drained spot.
Each size refers to the largest dimension of the stones. The 3/8" size is a fine compacting layer. The 3/4" is the standard for driveways and bases. The 1" to 1 1/2" and 1 1/2" sizes serve structural base layers under heavy loads. The 2"-3" size is for deep fill and mud control. All are angular and lock together well.
A gravel driveway with a stable subgrade usually needs 4 to 6 inches of compacted crushed gravel. For soft ground, start with a 4-inch lift of 2"-3" stone, then top with 3 to 4 inches of 3/4" stone. The final depth after compaction should be at least 4 inches. Deeper is better for heavy vehicles.
