Crushed Gravel ordered online by the ton. A dump truck delivers to your Myrtle Creek address and unloads right where you point.
Myrtle Creek averages about 36 inches of precipitation each year. That much rain means drainage matters for any driveway, base, or pad you build. Crushed gravel's angular shape locks together under compaction and keeps water moving through the layer instead of pooling on top.
By ordering the right size for your site, you avoid washouts and soft spots later. Whether you are replacing a muddy lane or putting down a new base for a shed, crushed gravel gives you a stable surface that handles wet weather.
The most-ordered size for local jobs is 3/4" Crushed Gravel. It works for driveways, parking areas, and as a compacted base under pavers or concrete. For other uses, these sizes are also available:
| Size | 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 | Compacts well and handles light to moderate traffic |
| 1", 1 1/2" Crushed Gravel | Structural base under heavy loads | Good for roads or areas with truck traffic |
| 1 1/2" Crushed Gravel | First lift over soft subgrade | Provides a stable foundation before adding a finer surface |
| 2", 3" Crushed Gravel | Mud control and deep fill | Used where you need to bridge soft ground or improve drainage |
Match the size to the job. These five project types cover most needs in the area:
| Project | What to order | Depth or note |
|---|---|---|
| Trench backfill | 3/4" Crushed Gravel | Well graded for compaction; lay in 6-inch lifts |
| Soft or muddy subgrade | 2", 3" Crushed Gravel | Start with a 12-inch layer to bridge the mud |
| Farm and site access road | 1", 1 1/2" Crushed Gravel | 10-inch base topped with 3/4" for a driving surface |
| Compacted base for concrete or asphalt | 3/4" Crushed Gravel | 6 to 8 inches, compacted in lifts |
| Shed or slab pad | 3/8" Crushed Gravel | 4-inch layer, tamped level before forming |
About 85 days each year bring at least a tenth of an inch of rain. That means you need firm ground when scheduling delivery. If the soil is too wet, the truck can rut the access path or the gravel may sink into soft spots. Plan your delivery for a dry stretch if possible.
Frost is not the constraint here, so the calendar is driven by rain and by how wet the ground is. Myrtle Creek sees roughly 33 days a year when the temperature drops below freezing, and about 1 inch of snowfall annually. The ground does not freeze deeply, so base depth does not need extra frost protection. What matters is drainage: the soils mapped in the Myrtle Creek area are commonly well drained, which means water moves through them at a moderate rate. Standard base depths of 6 to 8 inches of crushed gravel are usually enough to keep a surface stable in these conditions.
Because the ground takes water in at a moderate rate, you rarely need extra base stone to compensate for poor drainage. But the 36 inches of rain a year can still wash out a loose surface if the gravel is not compacted properly. Plowing snow off a crushed gravel driveway may also pull up the top layer if the stone is too fine.
Estimate the volume by multiplying length, width, and depth. Then convert that volume to tons using the weight per cubic yard of the size you pick. Our material calculators do the math for you and show the approximate tonnage before you order.
You order online by the ton. The price is calculated for your zip code at checkout, and delivery comes by dump truck to your address. Loads range from 1 ton to more than 40 tons, and free delivery is available on qualifying orders. Use code FIRSTTIMER50 for $50 off your first order.
You pick a delivery window, morning (7 am to 12 pm) or afternoon (12 pm to 5 pm), at checkout. The delivery date must be at least 3 business days after the order date. Gravel Monkey confirms by email, then sends a second email closer to the day with the scheduled window and a photo of the material being loaded. Delivery only proceeds after you approve that second email. You or someone you nominate must be at the site during the delivery window. The access road needs to be at least 12 feet wide for the truck. For more details, see our delivery information and About Gravel Monkey. You can also check customer reviews to see how the process works for others.
Many Myrtle Creek buyers add these products to the same order:
Yes. The soils mapped in the Myrtle Creek area are commonly well drained, so standard base depths of 6 to 8 inches are usually sufficient. But the 36 inches of annual rainfall means you still need good surface drainage and proper compaction to prevent washout.
The smallest order is 1 ton. Because the area sees about 85 wet days per year, scheduling delivery for a dry period helps ensure firm ground for the truck and better compaction of your gravel.
Yes. Angular crushed gravel locks together when compacted. Smaller sizes like 3/8" Crushed Gravel pack very densely, while larger sizes like 2", 3" leave more voids and are used for drainage or bridging soft spots rather than for a tight surface.
Crushed gravel is sold by the ton. The volume per ton varies with the size and density of the stone. Our calculator converts cubic feet and cubic yards to tons for each product.
