Crushed Gravel ordered online by the ton. A dump truck delivers to your Winston address and unloads right where you point.
Ordering crushed gravel in Winston is straightforward. You buy it by the ton online, and a dump truck delivers it to your address. Winston gets about 36 inches of precipitation a year, so planning for drainage and a firm base matters before the load arrives.
Gravel Monkey sources crushed gravel from regional quarries, so the exact color and size can vary, but every load meets standard quality. You choose your material, select a delivery window, and the truck shows up.
Not every crushed gravel size works for every job. Some are too small for heavy traffic, others too coarse for a smooth surface. Here are the options, what each is meant for, and a note on use.
| Product | Best suited for | Note |
|---|---|---|
| 3/8" Crushed Gravel | Fine compacting layer | Good for pathways and as a top dressing, not for heavy loads. |
| 3/4" Crushed Gravel | The workhorse size for base and drives | Handles vehicle traffic well, but too large for a smooth walking surface. |
| 1" - 1 1/2" Crushed Gravel | Structural base under heavy loads | Ideal under concrete or asphalt, not for exposed driveways. |
| 1 1/2" Crushed Gravel | First lift over soft subgrade | Provides stability on weak soil; needs a finer cap to lock in place. |
| 2"-3" Crushed Gravel | Mud control and deep fill | Too large for regular traffic areas, but excellent for wet spots and deep fills. |
Different jobs need different crushed gravel sizes and depths. Use this table to match your project to the right material. All products listed are available for delivery in Winston.
| Project | What to order | Depth or note |
|---|---|---|
| Shed or slab pad | 3/4" Crushed Gravel | 4 inches compacted, then finer material for leveling |
| Soft or muddy subgrade | 1 1/2" Crushed Gravel | 6 inches as a base to stabilize |
| Compacted base | 1" - 1 1/2" Crushed Gravel | 4 to 6 inches, then a surface layer |
| Farm and site access road | 3/4" Crushed Gravel | 4 to 6 inches, crowned for drainage |
| Trench backfill | 3/8" Crushed Gravel | Fill in layers, compact each 6 inches |
Winston has about 85 days a year with at least a tenth of an inch of rain. That means scheduling delivery onto firm ground is important, so the truck can drive on without rutting. About 33 days a year drop below freezing, which shortens the work window for placing and compacting crushed gravel.
Snowfall is only about 1 inch a year, so plowing damage to a loose crushed gravel surface is rarely a problem. The bigger concern is soil. Soils mapped in the Winston area are commonly somewhat poorly drained. This area guidance means you may need more base stone under the surface layer than in better-drained areas. The ground around Winston is in dual hydrologic group B/D. Where it is drained it takes water in at a moderate rate; where it is not, it takes water in very slowly, so most rain runs across the surface. That means drainage and a deeper base matter more here than elsewhere, but it depends on your specific drainage conditions.
Freeze and thaw cycles work on loose material all winter, which is the argument for the deeper first lift. A 6-inch base of 1 1/2" crushed gravel gives the frost a harder time moving the surface.
Figuring out how many tons of crushed gravel to order is simple. Measure the length and width of the area in feet and decide the depth in inches. Multiply length times width times depth, then divide by 12 to get cubic feet. A cubic foot of crushed gravel weighs about 100 pounds, so divide cubic feet by 20 to get tons. Use our material calculators to do the math in seconds. For a standard driveway in Winston, a 4-inch depth is common, but adjust for the base layer if your soil is poorly drained.

Crushed gravel works well with other materials for a complete job. Here are options you can also order for delivery in Winston.
The tonnage depends on the area and depth you need. For example, a 10x10 foot area at 4 inches deep takes about 1.2 tons. Because ground freezing here is moderate, a 6-inch base is often used for frost protection, which would roughly double that tonnage.
Yes, we deliver to Winston and the surrounding communities. Winston gets about 1 inch of snow a year, so winter deliveries are typically straightforward. The delivery date you choose at checkout must be at least 3 business days after the order date.
Crushed gravel is not suitable for finished surfaces where you need smooth, rounded stones, like a decorative ground cover. It is also not ideal for areas where people will walk barefoot, because the angular edges are sharp. It works best as a base or a structural layer that gets covered or compacted.
The driver will place the load as close to the requested spot as safely possible, given the site access. The truck needs at least 12 feet of clearance width. If access is restricted, the driver will put the load at the nearest safe point. You need to be available during the delivery window to direct the driver.
