Crushed Gravel ordered online by the ton. A dump truck delivers to your Dorado address and unloads right where you point.
The delivered price of crushed gravel in Dorado is driven by the material cost, the trucking distance, and the drop requirements. You choose the product and the delivery window, and Gravel Monkey handles the logistics.
Dorado gets about 66 inches of precipitation a year, so every job needs drainage and washout planning from the start. That planning includes picking the right crushed gravel size and depth.
Not every crushed gravel size suits every application. Here is what to avoid each grade for, and where it works best.
| Product | Best for | Note |
|---|---|---|
| 3/8" Crushed Gravel | Fine compacting layer | Avoid for base courses under heavy loads because it lacks the interlock of larger stone. |
| 3/4" Crushed Gravel | The workhorse size for base and drives | Avoid for drainage layers because fines can clog aggregate voids. |
| 1" - 1 1/2" Crushed Gravel | Structural base under heavy loads | Avoid for final wearing surfaces because the stone is too large to compact smooth. |
| 1 1/2" Crushed Gravel | First lift over soft subgrade | Avoid for thin pads because the large stone does not compact into a tight surface. |
| 2"-3" Crushed Gravel | Mud control and deep fill | Avoid for finished surfaces because the stone is too coarse to walk or drive on comfortably. |
Use this table to match your project to the right crushed gravel grade.
| Project | What to order | Depth or note |
|---|---|---|
| Soft or muddy subgrade | 1 1/2" Crushed Gravel | 6 to 8 inches as a bridging layer |
| Shed or slab pad | 3/4" Crushed Gravel | 4 inches compacted |
| Farm and site access road | 1" - 1 1/2" Crushed Gravel | 6 to 10 inches compacted |
| Trench backfill | 3/8" Crushed Gravel | 2 to 3 inches per lift |
| Compacted base | 3/4" Crushed Gravel | 4 to 6 inches compacted |
Dorado sits in Dorado Municipio, so the delivery area includes both the city and the rural zones around it. The area gets about 66 inches of precipitation a year, which means every crushed gravel job needs a drainage plan to prevent washout.
With about 120 days a year that see at least a tenth of an inch of rain, scheduling delivery onto firm ground is important. The truck needs a stable surface to unload, so coordinate with Gravel Monkey to pick a dry window.
Dorado sees 0 freezing days a year, so the ground does not heave from freeze-thaw cycles. That means a crushed gravel base stays in place without seasonal shifting. Order once the site is ready, because material sitting in the wrong spot gets moved twice.
Calculating the tonnage starts with the square footage and the compacted depth. Use the material calculators to enter your dimensions and get a tonnage estimate for your specific job. The calculator accounts for the material density, so you order the right amount.
Ordering is straightforward. You choose your crushed gravel product and tonnage online, and the delivery price is calculated by your ZIP code at checkout. Gravel Monkey arranges a dump truck to deliver to your address, handling loads from 1 to 40 tons or more.

Crushed gravel is not suitable for finished walking surfaces where a smooth, uniform texture is required. It is also not ideal for use in drainage systems that need clean, washed stone because the fines can clog voids.
