Crushed Gravel ordered online by the ton. A dump truck delivers to your Lindsay address and unloads right where you point.
Lindsay sees about 79 days a year where temperatures drop below 32F. That freeze-thaw cycle works on loose material all winter, which is the argument for the deeper first lift.
Spring and fall are the busiest periods for gravel work in Lindsay. Ordering early in the season helps you secure your preferred delivery window.
The most-ordered crushed gravel size for Lindsay jobs is 3/4" crushed gravel. It works for base layers, driveways, and road surfaces. For other applications, here are the sizes we deliver:
| Product | Best For | Note |
|---|---|---|
| 3/8" Crushed Gravel | Fine compacting layer | Used as a top dressing or under pavers for a smooth finish. |
| 3/4" Crushed Gravel | The workhorse size for base and drives | Handles traffic and compacts well for most residential jobs. |
| 1" - 1 1/2" Crushed Gravel | Structural base under heavy loads | Ideal for truck traffic, farm roads, and building pads. |
| 1 1/2" Crushed Gravel | First lift over soft subgrade | Starts the base where ground stability is a concern. |
| 2"-3" Crushed Gravel | Mud control and deep fill | Provides drainage and stability in wet, low areas. |
Match your project to the right crushed gravel and depth. The table below shows common jobs around Lindsay.
| Project | What to Order | Depth or Note |
|---|---|---|
| Compacted base | 3/4" Crushed Gravel | 4 to 6 inches compacted |
| Farm and site access road | 1 1/2" Crushed Gravel base topped with 3/4" | 6 to 8 inches total, base layer deeper on soft ground |
| Trench backfill | 3/4" or 1" - 1 1/2" Crushed Gravel | Depth depends on compaction requirements |
| Soft or muddy subgrade | 2"-3" Crushed Gravel | 6 to 12 inches, acts as a drainage and bridging layer |
| Shed or slab pad | 3/4" Crushed Gravel | 4 inches compacted, with geotextile fabric if needed |
Lindsay gets about 37 inches of precipitation a year. That means your crushed gravel job needs good drainage or a base layer that can handle water moving through it. The soil around Lindsay is commonly moderately well drained, but the ground here is in hydrologic group C, which takes water in slowly and sheds a fair amount across the surface. That behavior earns its place: a deeper drainage layer under the surface crushed gravel prevents washout and keeps the aggregate stable.
With about 79 freezing days a year, the work window for placing crushed gravel is narrower than in warmer regions. Freeze and thaw cycles work on loose material all winter, which is the argument for the deeper first lift. The 4 inches of annual snowfall is modest, but plowing a loose gravel drive can push stone aside and create ruts if the base is not compacted well.
These conditions call for a base that is thick enough to resist frost heave and surface movement. For any load-bearing surface, plan on a minimum of 4 inches of base stone under the final crushed gravel layer.
To figure out how many tons of crushed gravel your project requires, measure the length, width, and depth in feet. Multiply those numbers, divide by 27 to get cubic yards, then multiply by about 1.4 tons per cubic yard for crushed gravel. For a quick and accurate estimate, use our material calculators before you place your order.

Many Lindsay customers add these materials to the same delivery:
Yes. The ground around Lindsay is in hydrologic group C, meaning it takes water in slowly and sheds a fair amount across the surface. That behavior calls for a deeper drainage layer under the crushed gravel to keep the aggregate stable. Soils mapped in the Lindsay area are commonly moderately well drained, so consider adding an extra inch or two of base stone over soft areas.
The smallest load we deliver is 1 ton. Lindsay's population is about 2,923, so many customers order small amounts for driveways, pads, or small repairs. You can order just 1 ton and still get free delivery if your order qualifies.
The truck needs a road or driveway at least 12 feet wide. If access is narrow or blocked, the crew will unload as close to your requested spot as they safely can. Confirm your property can handle a heavy truck, Gravel Monkey is not responsible for damage to driveways, structures, or landscaping.
Order at least 3 business days before you need the crushed gravel. You can pick the delivery date at checkout.
