Each crushed gravel size fills a different spot in the spec. These five products cover everything from a fine surface course to deep mud fill.
| Product | Best use | Note |
|---|---|---|
| 3/8" Crushed Gravel | Fine compacting layer | Use it as a top dressing or paver bedding; it locks tight without large voids. |
| 3/4" Crushed Gravel | The workhorse size for base and drives | Handles daily vehicle traffic and compacts into a stable, all-weather surface. |
| 1" - 1 1/2" Crushed Gravel | Structural base under heavy loads | Designed for commercial drives, equipment yards and road subbase. |
| 1 1/2" Crushed Gravel | First lift over soft subgrade | Lays a bridging layer that spreads weight before finer stone goes on top. |
| 2"-3" Crushed Gravel | Mud control and deep fill | Ideal for saturated ground, stump holes or any spot that needs bulk stability. |
Match the stone to the work. The table below pairs common South Dakota projects with the right product and a typical compacted depth.

|---|---|---|
| compacted base | 3/4" Crushed Gravel | 4 to 6 inches after compaction |
| farm and site access road | 1" - 1 1/2" Crushed Gravel | 6 to 8 inches, top with 3/4" if needed |
| trench backfill | 3/4" Crushed Gravel | Fill in lifts, compact each layer |
| shed or slab pad | 3/4" Crushed Gravel | 4 inches minimum, compacted |
| soft or muddy subgrade | 1 1/2" Crushed Gravel | 8 to 12 inches first lift, then cap |
Annual precipitation across the cities Gravel Monkey serves in South Dakota runs from about 20 to 29 inches. Freezing days range from roughly 157 to 181 days a year below 32F, and most of the state sits in the severe band for ground freezing. That freeze-thaw cycle heaves a base that was not built deep enough or compacted properly.
The dominant soils across the served cities fall in hydrologic groups C and B, which drain slower and need a thicker gravel lift to stay stable under load. A thin base on group C soil will rut when the spring thaw comes. Spring thaw is the wet part of the year for driveways, and it is when a thin base shows up as ruts.
SDDOT runs a spring load-restriction program that limits gross vehicle weights on certain roads during the thaw period. The program can affect delivery routing, so your quoted delivery window accounts for any active restrictions at the time.
Gravel Monkey delivers crushed gravel to addresses across South Dakota. These are the cities with a dedicated product page for crushed gravel.
Gravel Monkey delivers to addresses across South Dakota, not only the cities listed here.
Crushed gravel is sold by the ton, not by the yard. The volume you need depends on the depth of the lift and the area you are covering. Use the material calculators on our site to convert square feet and depth into tons before you order.
Crushed gravel is angular and interlocks when compacted, so it demands a well-graded blend to fill voids and lock the surface. You order online by the ton, and the delivery price shows at checkout based on your ZIP code. Loads run from 1 ton up to 40-plus tons in a single dump-truck delivery.
