Crushed Gravel in Lexington
Buy crushed gravel by the ton online. Choose the size that fits your project, and we deliver it by dump truck straight to your Lexington address.
Lexington gets about 57 inches of precipitation a year, so planning for drainage and washout is important when picking the right base material. We carry crushed gravel sized for stable, well-drained surfaces.
Crushed Gravel Sizes for Lexington Projects
Not every crushed gravel size works for every job. A small aggregate like 3/8 inch does not hold up under heavy traffic, while a large 2 to 3 inch stone is too coarse for a finished walking surface. Choose the right size for the purpose.
| Product | Best for | Note |
|---|---|---|
| 3/8" Crushed Gravel | Fine compacting layer | Works well for paths and top dressing but not for vehicle loads. |
| 3/4" Crushed Gravel | The workhorse size for base and drives | Versatile for driveways and base layers under pavers. |
| 1" - 1 1/2" Crushed Gravel | Structural base under heavy loads | Use for truck traffic or equipment pads. |
| 1 1/2" Crushed Gravel | First lift over soft subgrade | Provides a stable base before adding a finer layer. |
| 2"-3" Crushed Gravel | Mud control and deep fill | Ideal for boggy areas and large fill projects. |

| Farm and site access road | 1" - 1 1/2" Crushed Gravel | Build in lifts for heavy vehicle traffic |
| Compacted base | 3/4" Crushed Gravel | Well-compacted base for pavers or asphalt |
| Shed or slab pad | 3/8" Crushed Gravel | Fine grade for a level, compacted pad |
Local Conditions That Affect Your Crushed Gravel Project
About 83 days a year bring at least a tenth of an inch of rain in Lexington. That means scheduling your delivery onto firm ground matters to avoid rutting from the dump truck.
About 82 days a year drop below 32F. Freeze and thaw cycles work on loose material all winter, which is the argument for the deeper first lift. Ground freezing here is real but moderate, so how deep the base layer needs to be depends on the soil.
Soils mapped in the Lexington area are commonly well drained, which means less base stone is needed under the surface layer compared to clay soils. The ground around Lexington is in hydrologic group B, meaning it takes water in at a moderate rate, so standard base depth is usually enough.
