Crushed Gravel ordered online by the ton. A dump truck delivers to your Vale address and unloads right where you point.
Crushed gravel is a crushed, angular aggregate, different from smooth river gravel or pea stone. It locks together under compaction and stays put, which makes it a reliable base for roads, pads and fill. Buyers often confuse it with crushed stone, but both are angular crushed products. The real difference is in the parent rock. Vale gets about 10 inches of precipitation a year, so drainage and washout planning matter when you pick a base material.
Gravel Monkey delivers crushed gravel by the ton straight to your site in Vale. You pick the size and the day. We handle the truck and the drop.
Each size has a job it does best and a few it does poorly. Here is the lineup.
| Product | Best use | Note |
|---|---|---|
| 3/8" Crushed Gravel | Fine compacting layer | Not for heavy traffic. Good under pavers or as a top dressing. |
| 3/4" Crushed Gravel | The workhorse size for base and drives | Not for a finished walking surface. Ideal for driveway base and compacted fill. |
| 1" - 1 1/2" Crushed Gravel | Structural base under heavy loads | Not for shallow trenches. Best where weight distribution matters. |
| 1 1/2" Crushed Gravel | First lift over soft subgrade | Not for a top layer. Bridges weak soil before smaller stone goes on. |
| 2"-3" Crushed Gravel | Mud control and deep fill | Not for compaction to a smooth finish. Used in soft spots or thick fills. |
The table below pairs common jobs with the right product and depth.
| Project | What to order | Depth or note |
|---|---|---|
| Trench backfill | 3/4" Crushed Gravel or 1" - 1 1/2" Crushed Gravel | Compact in 6-inch lifts |
| Shed or slab pad | 3/4" Crushed Gravel | 4 to 6 inches after compaction |
| Compacted base | 3/4" Crushed Gravel | 4 inches for light use, 6 for vehicles |
| Soft or muddy subgrade | 1 1/2" Crushed Gravel or 2"-3" Crushed Gravel | Stabilizing layer, 6 to 12 inches |
| Farm and site access road | 3/4" Crushed Gravel over 1 1/2" Crushed Gravel | Base first, then surface course |
Ground that freezes deep moves as it thaws, which is why the base layer matters more here than the top layer. Vale sees about 135 days a year below 32F. That repeated freeze-thaw cycle can shift an unstable base. A deep, well-compacted crushed gravel base resists that movement.
About 33 days a year bring at least a tenth of an inch of rain, which is not many wet days. Scheduling the delivery onto firm ground is still smart, because the soil around Vale in hydrologic group C takes water in slowly and sheds a fair amount across the surface. A deeper drainage layer of crushed gravel earns its place under driveways or pads. Soils mapped in the Vale area are commonly somewhat poorly drained, so expect more base stone under the surface layer rather than less.
Snowfall runs about 8 inches a year. Plowing can scatter a loose surface, so a compacted top size like 3/4" crushed gravel holds up better than a rounder product. Ground freezing here is deep and long. That deep frost increases the need for a base layer thick enough to stay stable when the ground thaws unevenly.
Crushed gravel is sold by the ton, so you need to convert the cubic feet of your project area into tonnage. Measure the length, width and planned depth in feet, multiply for cubic feet, then divide by roughly 15 to 20 depending on the stone size. Use our material calculators to get an accurate number. Overorder by a small margin to account for compaction and settling.
You order online by the ton. Delivery is priced by your ZIP code at checkout. A dump truck brings the load to your address in Vale. Loads range from 1 ton to 40 tons or more. Free delivery is available on qualifying orders. Use code FIRSTTIMER50 at checkout for $50 off a first order.
Delivery lead time is at least 3 business days after the order date. You choose a delivery window at checkout: morning, 7 am to 12 pm, or afternoon, 12 pm to 5 pm. A valid phone number is required to confirm the delivery. You get an email confirmation when the order is placed, then a second email closer to the date with the scheduled window and a photo of the material being loaded. Delivery only goes ahead once you approve that second email.
You or someone you nominate must be at the site during the delivery window. The site needs a road width of at least 12 feet for the truck. If access is restricted, the crew unloads as close to the requested spot as they safely can. Read our delivery information page for full details. See customer reviews for feedback from other buyers.

Crushed gravel often pairs with other bulk materials for a complete project.
The answer depends on the volume you need to fill. A 10-foot by 10-foot area at 4 inches deep takes roughly 1.5 to 2 tons of 3/4" crushed gravel. Use our material calculators to convert your measurements to tons. Order a little extra to cover compaction.
Yes. Gravel Monkey delivers crushed gravel to Vale and nearby communities in Malheur County and across the state line into Idaho. We also deliver to Ontario, Nyssa, Fruitland, Payette, Parma, New Plymouth, Weiser, Wilder, Homedale, and Middleton. Delivery is by dump truck to your address.
Crushed gravel is not a finished decorative surface. Its angular shape is hard on bare feet and uncomfortable to walk on. It is not suitable for playgrounds or paths where you want a smooth, round pebble. It also does not stay in place without compaction and an edge restraint.
The delivery price is based on your ZIP code and the total tonnage ordered. When you enter your delivery address at checkout, the system shows the exact delivery fee for that location. Volume discounts may apply for larger loads. There are no hidden fees.
The big question for any gravel job is how many tons you need. Let the material calculators handle the math, then place your order. Visit the Vale hub page to get started.
