Crushed Gravel ordered online by the ton. A dump truck delivers to your Greenville address and unloads right where you point.
What drives the delivered number for crushed gravel in Greenville? The distance from the regional quarry, the size you choose, and the total tonnage all factor in. Gravel Monkey lays out the total at checkout so there are no surprises. Greenville gets about 51 inches of precipitation a year, so drainage and washout planning are part of any gravel project.
You order online by the ton and a dump truck brings the load to your address. Delivery is priced by ZIP at checkout, and the truck arrives on a date you choose. No store visit, no pickup trips.
Each crushed gravel size has a best use, but knowing what it is not for matters just as much. The smallest size works for fine topping but fails under heavy traffic. The largest size controls mud but is too rough for walking. Here is how the sizes compare:
| Size | Best For | Note |
|---|---|---|
| 3/8" Crushed Gravel | Fine compacting layer | Too small for driveways; stays loose under tires. |
| 3/4" Crushed Gravel | The workhorse size for base and drives | Handles most loads but needs proper compaction. |
| 1" - 1 1/2" Crushed Gravel | Structural base under heavy loads | Not for walking; sharp edges can shift. |
| 1 1/2" Crushed Gravel | First lift over soft subgrade | Too coarse for a finished surface. |
| 2"-3" Crushed Gravel | Mud control and deep fill | Rough and uneven; not for foot traffic. |
Match the surface type to the material. For each project below, the table shows what size to order and a key note about placement.
| Project | What to Order | Depth or Note |
|---|---|---|
| Trench backfill | 3/4" Crushed Gravel | Compact in thin lifts to prevent settling |
| Compacted base | 1" - 1 1/2" Crushed Gravel | Spread and compact to a firm, level plane |
| Shed or slab pad | 3/8" Crushed Gravel | Level and tamp to a smooth, stable surface |
| Farm and site access road | 1 1/2" Crushed Gravel | Place in lifts, crown road for drainage |
| Soft or muddy subgrade | 2"-3" Crushed Gravel | Bridge over soft ground before topping |
Greenville gets about 51 inches of precipitation a year, which means your crushed gravel needs to handle water. Well-drained soils in the area help, but a base layer that allows water to pass through is still important. About 77 days a year bring at least a tenth of an inch of rain, so scheduling the delivery onto firm ground matters if you want to avoid rutting the fresh stone. Work can run most of the year in this climate, which makes scheduling the delivery the easy part.
About 61 days a year drop below 32F, but ground freezing here is not a significant factor. That means your crushed gravel base does not need extra depth for frost heave. The soils mapped in the Greenville area are commonly well drained, so less base stone is needed under the surface layer compared to heavy clay areas. The ground around Greenville takes water in at a moderate rate, so standard base depth is usually enough.
Snowfall amounts to about 1 inch a year. Snow plowing is rare, but if you do plow a gravel drive, the blade can catch on loose stone. A compacted top layer reduces that problem.
The tonnage you need depends on the area you are covering and the depth you plan. A smaller project like a shed pad uses less than a long driveway. Use our material calculators to get a fast estimate based on your dimensions and the material you choose. Ordering by the ton means you pay only for what you use.

Crushed gravel often works alongside other materials. These products pair well with your gravel order:
Winter conditions rarely disrupt delivery in Greenville. About 61 days a year drop below freezing, but ground freezing is not significant here. The delivery date you choose at checkout must be at least 3 business days out, which gives plenty of time to find a dry day.
About 77 days a year bring at least a tenth of an inch of rain. That means wet ground can be a concern on about one in five days, so choose a delivery window after a dry stretch. Firm soil helps the dump truck offload without rutting the site.
Match the size to the job. For a finished surface like a patio or path, use 3/8" crushed gravel because it compacts smooth. For a driveway base or trench backfill, 3/4" is the standard choice. For heavy loads or soft ground, go up to 1 1/2" or 2"-3" as a first lift.
You choose a delivery date that is at least 3 business days out and then pick a morning or afternoon window. You receive a confirmation email, then a second email closer to the date with a photo of your load. Delivery only proceeds after you approve that second email. You or someone you nominate must be present during the window.
