Crushed Gravel ordered online by the ton. A dump truck delivers to your Sheridan address and unloads right where you point.





Crushed gravel and crushed stone are both angular and compact well, but they come from different sources. Crushed gravel is made from natural deposits of rock and sand, while crushed stone is mined from solid rock. The result is a material with varied color and texture that performs well under compaction.
Sheridan gets about 48 inches of precipitation a year. That amount of rain makes drainage and washout planning essential for any gravel surface. A well-compacted crushed gravel base handles water better and stays in place longer.
Not every crushed gravel size works for every task. Some are too fine for heavy traffic; others are too coarse for a smooth finish. Choose based on what your project demands.
| Product | Best use | Note |
|---|---|---|
| 3/8" Crushed Gravel | Fine compacting layer for paths and under pavers | Too small for vehicle loads; use only for pedestrian areas. |
| 3/4" Crushed Gravel | Workhorse size for base and drives | Compacts firmly and drains well; avoid for deep mud pits. |
| 1" - 1 1/2" Crushed Gravel | Structural base under heavy loads | Not for finished surfaces; locks together to spread weight. |
| 1 1/2" Crushed Gravel | First lift over soft subgrade | Too large for a smooth top; bridges mud and supports finer stone. |
| 2"-3" Crushed Gravel | Mud control and deep fill | Not for compaction to a flat grade; stabilizes boggy areas. |
Each type of crushed gravel suits a specific surface condition. Choose the product that fits the ground you are working with.
| Project | What to order | Note |
|---|---|---|
| Farm and site access road | 3/4" Crushed Gravel | Compacts to a hard surface; top with 3/8" for a smoother ride. |
| Trench backfill | 1" - 1 1/2" Crushed Gravel | Allows water flow while supporting pipes or conduits. |
| Compacted base for driveway or patio | 3/4" Crushed Gravel | Standard base; apply in lifts and compact each layer. |
| Shed or slab pad | 3/8" Crushed Gravel | Fine enough to level; compact before pouring concrete. |
| Soft or muddy subgrade | 1 1/2" Crushed Gravel | Bridging layer; follow with 3/4" for a workable surface. |
Soils mapped in the Sheridan area are commonly poorly drained. That means a crushed gravel surface needs a thicker base of larger stone to keep water from softening the ground below. The ground around Sheridan is in dual hydrologic group C/D. Where it is drained, it takes water in slowly and sheds runoff; where not, most rain runs off the surface. Drainage and a deeper base matter more here than in many places.
About 113 days a year bring at least a tenth of an inch of rain. Scheduling a delivery onto firm, dry ground can be important to avoid rutting. Sheridan averages 2 inches of snowfall a year, so plowing damage to a loose surface is a minor concern.
About 49 days a year drop below 32F, but the ground does not freeze deeply. Without a hard freeze to lift the surface, drainage and washout are what decide how long the material lasts.
