Crushed Gravel ordered online by the ton. A dump truck delivers to your Christmas Valley address and unloads right where you point.
Christmas Valley gets about 11 inches of precipitation a year. That means drainage and washout planning should factor into your base design. The right crushed gravel size and depth help manage water and keep your surface stable.
Crushed gravel is a compactable, angular material that locks together under load. It works for driveways, base layers, and site access roads. The delivered price per ton depends on the size you pick and your ZIP code at checkout.
Every project needs a different stone size. The table below lists the crushed gravel products we deliver, from fine surfaces to deep fill. Each is sold by the ton and dumped at your address.
| Size | Best for | Note |
|---|---|---|
| 3/8" Crushed Gravel | Fine compacting layer | Works for paths and leveling pads where a tight surface is needed. |
| 3/4" Crushed Gravel | The workhorse size for base and drives | Compacts well and supports cars, trucks, and light structures. |
| 1" - 1 1/2" Crushed Gravel | Structural base under heavy loads | Used under concrete or for commercial-grade access roads. |
| 1 1/2" Crushed Gravel | First lift over soft subgrade | Provides a stable platform before finer gravel goes on top. |
| 2"-3" Crushed Gravel | Mud control and deep fill | Large stone that locks together in wet conditions and fills deep ruts. |
Different jobs need different stone sizes and depths. Use this table as a starting point for your Christmas Valley project.
| Project | What to order | Depth or note |
|---|---|---|
| Compacted base | 3/4" Crushed Gravel | 4 to 6 inches compacted over prepared subgrade. |
| Soft or muddy subgrade | 1 1/2" Crushed Gravel | First lift 4 to 6 inches, then cap with 3/4". |
| Shed or slab pad | 3/8" Crushed Gravel | 2 to 4 inches, compacted to a level surface. |
| Farm and site access road | 2"-3" Crushed Gravel | 6 to 8 inches deep for mud control. |
| Trench backfill | 1" - 1 1/2" Crushed Gravel | Fill depth varies; stone allows drainage around utilities. |
Christmas Valley sees about 201 days a year with temperatures below 32F. That freeze-thaw action can unsettle a gravel surface if the base is not deep enough. Plowing 22 inches of annual snowfall can also shift loose stone, so a compacted top layer helps.
Soils mapped in the Christmas Valley area are commonly well drained, which reduces the need for extra base stone. The ground around Christmas Valley is in hydrologic group B, meaning it takes in water at a moderate rate. That means standard base depths are usually enough for drainage. Freeze and thaw cycles work on loose material all winter, which is the argument for the deeper first lift.
Ground freezing here is real but moderate, so the base layer depth should account for potential frost heave. This is especially important under structures or paved areas.

Start by measuring the length, width, and desired depth of your area in feet. Multiply to get cubic feet, then divide by 27 to get cubic yards. A cubic yard of crushed gravel weighs about 1.4 tons. In Lake County, about 20 single-family homes were permitted in 2024, so many new projects need base material. Use our calculator for a precise tonnage.
Yes, we deliver to Christmas Valley and all areas we serve in Lake County. Christmas Valley has about 40 wet days a year, so scheduling delivery when the ground is firm is important. You choose the delivery window at checkout, and we confirm the date by email.
Yes. Smaller stone sizes like 3/8 inch compact to a denser, tighter surface than larger sizes. The angular shape of crushed gravel helps particles lock together. For base layers, 3/4 inch strikes a balance between compaction and drainage.
Depth depends on the subgrade and expected load. A firm subgrade may need less base stone, while soft ground requires more. Use the calculator to estimate volume based on your planned depth. A typical driveway base is 4 to 6 inches of compacted crushed gravel over a prepared subgrade.
