Crushed Gravel ordered online by the ton. A dump truck delivers to your Grants Pass address and unloads right where you point.
Crushed gravel is a workhorse material for driveways, paths, and base layers. In Grants Pass, projects often call for loads ranging from 1 ton for small repairs to 40 tons or more for new drives and building pads.
The local climate affects how much base stone you need. Grants Pass gets about 37 inches of precipitation a year. Drainage and washout planning become important when choosing depth and size.
For any crushed gravel job, choosing the right size matters. We carry five common sizes, each designed for a specific part of the project. This table shows what each size does best.
| Size | Use | Note |
|---|---|---|
| 3/8" Crushed Gravel | Fine compacting layer | Works as a top surface for paths and under flagstone. |
| 3/4" Crushed Gravel | The workhorse size for base and drives | Angular stone locks together for a stable, load-bearing base. |
| 1" - 1 1/2" Crushed Gravel | Structural base under heavy loads | Larger aggregate provides deeper support for trucks and equipment. |
| 1 1/2" Crushed Gravel | First lift over soft subgrade | Bridges weak soil before a finer stone goes on top. |
| 2"-3" Crushed Gravel | Mud control and deep fill | Used in saturated areas and as a sub-base in deep cuts. |
The right size depends on the project. Use this table as a starting point for common jobs.
| Project | What to order | Depth or note |
|---|---|---|
| Compacted base for a driveway or parking area | 3/4" Crushed Gravel | 4 to 6 inches after compaction |
| Shed or slab pad | 3/8" Crushed Gravel | 2 to 3 inches, well compacted |
| Soft or muddy subgrade | 1 1/2" Crushed Gravel | 6 to 12 inches as a bridging layer |
| Trench backfill | 1" - 1 1/2" Crushed Gravel | Depth varies with pipe size; typically 12 inches |
| Farm and site access road | 2"-3" Crushed Gravel | 8 to 12 inches for heavy traffic |
Josephine County permitted about 174 single-family homes in 2024. Many of those lots need a stone base for drives, pads, and walkways. Whether building new or upgrading an existing property, the local soil and weather shape how much crushed gravel you need.
Soils mapped in the Grants Pass area are commonly poorly drained. The ground takes water in very slowly, so most rain runs across the surface. This means drainage and a deeper base matter more here than elsewhere.
Wet days number about 68 a year, and freezing days about 75. Snowfall averages about 3 inches a year, enough to consider plowing damage on a loose gravel surface. Work can run most of the year in this climate, which makes scheduling the delivery the easy part.
Ground freezing is not a significant factor here. The base depth is driven more by drainage and load than by frost lines.
The amount of crushed gravel you need depends on the area and depth of your project. A cubic yard of crushed gravel weighs roughly 1.4 tons, but the exact weight varies by stone size and moisture. Use our material calculators to get a tonnage estimate for your specific job. Knowing the tonnage before you order helps you plan delivery and avoid shortages or excess.

Yes, it can. Soils in the Grants Pass area are commonly poorly drained, which means a deeper base layer is often needed to prevent settling. The ground also takes water very slowly, so drainage planning matters.
Crushed gravel is measured and sold by the ton. You can use our material calculators to estimate how many tons your project requires. The calculator accounts for the area, depth, and material type.
The size depends on the project. For a firm base under a drive or slab, 3/4 inch crushed gravel is a common choice. For a top dressing, use 3/8 inch. For soft ground, start with a larger stone such as 1 1/2 inch.
