Crushed Gravel ordered online by the ton. A dump truck delivers to your Greenville address and unloads right where you point.
Contractors and homeowners buy crushed gravel differently. A contractor often orders by the truckload for a known plan. A homeowner may be laying a driveway or a shed pad for the first time. Both need a material that locks together under weight.
Greenville gets about 42 inches of precipitation a year, so drainage matters under any gravel surface. A crushed gravel base lets water move through the stone and keeps the top layer stable.
Crushed gravel comes in several sizes, each suited for a specific part of a job. The smallest particles compact into a firm surface, while larger stones bridge soft ground. Check the list below for the size that matches your work.
| Product | Best for | Note |
|---|---|---|
| 3/8" Crushed Gravel | Fine compacting layer | Works as a top coat on driveways and paths. |
| 3/4" Crushed Gravel | The workhorse size for base and drives | Packs well and handles car traffic. |
| 1" - 1 1/2" Crushed Gravel | Structural base under heavy loads | Used under concrete or large equipment. |
| 1 1/2" Crushed Gravel | First lift over soft subgrade | Bridges clay or loamy soil. |
| 2"-3" Crushed Gravel | Mud control and deep fill | Stops rutting in low areas. |
Think of the ground condition first, then pick a stone size. The table below pairs common Greenville jobs with a starting product.
| Project | What to order | Depth or note |
|---|---|---|
| Trench backfill | 3/4" Crushed Gravel | Fill in lifts and compact each layer. |
| Farm and site access road | 1" - 1 1/2" Crushed Gravel | 4 to 6 inches after compaction. |
| Shed or slab pad | 3/4" Crushed Gravel | 4 inches of base, then fine top coat. |
| Soft or muddy subgrade | 1 1/2" Crushed Gravel | Start with 6 inches over the mud. |
| Compacted base | 3/4" Crushed Gravel | Spread and compact before the final layer. |
Greenville sees about 92 wet days a year, so scheduling delivery onto firm ground matters. A delivery on a soggy day can rut the yard before the stone goes down. The county also averages 64 inches of snow, and plowing a loose surface can push gravel into the lawn if the base is thin.
Spring thaw is the wet part of the year for driveways, and it is when a thin base shows up as ruts. Around 133 days a year drop below freezing, and the ground freezes deep. That frost cycle makes a proper base depth critical so the surface does not heave unevenly.
Soils mapped in the Greenville area are commonly well drained. The ground around here is in hydrologic group A, which means it soaks water up quickly and produces little runoff. That behavior often reduces the amount of drainage stone needed under the surface layer. This is area guidance, not a substitute for checking your own soil.
Measure the length and width of the area, then decide on a compacted depth. Multiply those numbers together and divide by 27 to get cubic yards, then convert to tons based on the stone type. Use the material calculators on the Gravel Monkey site for a quick tonnage estimate.
You order by the ton online. Delivery is priced by ZIP at checkout, and a dump truck brings the load to the address you provide. The delivery date must be at least 3 business days after the order date. You choose a morning window (7 am to 12 pm) or an afternoon window (12 pm to 5 pm).
A valid phone number is required to confirm the delivery, and you get an email confirmation when the order is placed. A second email arrives 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 window. Use the code FIRSTTIMER50 for $50 off a first order.

Crushed gravel is a good base, but other materials can handle specific surface or drainage needs. Consider these options for the same job:
Yes. Most soil in the Greenville area is well drained andsoaks up water quickly. That means you may need less drainage stone under the crushed gravel layer. Check your own soil, but the area's typical behavior can reduce the base depth.
Spring thaw is the wet part of the year for driveways, and it is when a thin base shows up as ruts. Ordering after the ground has dried out in late spring or early summer gives the best compaction. Fall is also good if you can place gravel before the ground freezes.
Depth depends on the load and the soil. For a standard driveway, 4 to 6 inches of compacted crushed gravel after the base is common. A shed pad may need only 4 inches, while a farm road over soft subgrade could need 6 to 8 inches.
The truck needs a road or driveway at least 12 feet wide. If access is restricted, the crew unloads as close as they safely can. Someone must be present during the delivery window to show the spot and approve the load drop.
No yard visit needed. You order online, pick a window, and a dump truck shows up with the stone. The price at checkout covers everything for that ZIP. Start by looking at the product sizes above and then visit the Greenville hub to place your order.
