Crushed Gravel ordered online by the ton. A dump truck delivers to your Canyon address and unloads right where you point.
Crushed gravel works for Canyon, Texas properties that need a surface that stays put under traffic. Randall County sits in the part of the Panhandle where winter freezes and summer storms test every layer you put down. About 18 inches of precipitation a year means drainage matters from the start. Whether you are grading a ranch road, topping a driveway or building a pad for a shed, crushed gravel gives you a compacted surface that sheds water and stands up to loading. The county permitted about 36 single-family homes in 2024, so new construction keeps demand steady for reliable aggregate delivered by the ton.
Crushed gravel comes in several sizes, and each one serves a different layer of the project. The right choice depends on base depth, traffic type and whether the surface will be walked on or driven over. These are the sizes available for delivery to Canyon addresses, from the finest compacting grade up to the largest fill stone.
| Product | Best for | Note |
|---|---|---|
| 3/8" Crushed Gravel | Fine compacting layer | Screens to a tight surface that can be levelled and compacted for foot traffic and light use. |
| 3/4" Crushed Gravel | The workhorse size for base and drives | Handles vehicle loads well and compacts into a stable base layer for drives and parking areas. |
| 1" - 1 1/2" Crushed Gravel | Structural base under heavy loads | Larger stone that locks up under compaction for structural base under commercial or farm loads. |
| 1 1/2" Crushed Gravel | First lift over soft subgrade | A thick initial layer that bridges soft spots and distributes weight over unstable ground. |
| 2"-3" Crushed Gravel | Mud control and deep fill | Used in wet areas or deep fill where you need to build up a soft surface and control mud. |
Every project starts with a problem the ground presents. The table below matches common Canyon job types to the right product and depth.
| Project | What to order | Depth or note |
|---|---|---|
| Compacted base for a driveway or parking area | 3/4" Crushed Gravel | Compact to 4 to 6 inches |
| Trench backfill around foundations or utilities | 1" - 1 1/2" Crushed Gravel | Place and compact in lifts |
| Shed or slab pad | 3/8" Crushed Gravel | Spread 3 to 4 inches and compact |
| Farm and site access road | 1 1/2" Crushed Gravel | Build 6 to 8 inches after grading |
| Soft or muddy subgrade | 2"-3" Crushed Gravel | Apply 8 to 12 inches as a bridging layer |
Soils mapped in the Canyon area are commonly well drained, so you can often place a thinner base layer than you would over clay. The ground around Canyon is in hydrologic group A, which means it soaks water up quickly and produces little runoff. That behaviour reduces the amount of drainage stone needed under the surface. About 18 inches of precipitation a year still calls for proper grading and cross-slope to keep water moving away from the gravel surface.
About 118 days a year drop below 32F, and the ground freezing here is real but moderate. Winters here are cold enough to move an unsettled base, so compaction is worth the extra pass. About 14 inches of snowfall a year means that plowing can displace a loose surface if the stone is not compacted well or if the top layer is too large.
The work window in Canyon runs from spring through fall, with enough good-weather days to complete most projects. Planning the base depth around the moderate frost keeps the surface from heaving in cold weather.
Crushed gravel is sold by the ton. The amount you need depends on the area you are covering and the compacted depth you want. A cubic yard of crushed gravel weighs about 1.4 tons, but the exact number shifts with moisture and stone density. To figure out how many tons to order, measure the length and width of the area in feet, decide on a compacted depth in inches, and run those numbers through our material calculators. The calculator converts area and depth into tonnage so you order the right amount the first time.

The right size depends on the job layer. A 3/8" grade works for a compacted surface layer. A 3/4" grade handles base and drive duty. Larger sizes like 1" to 1 1/2" or 2" to 3" are used for structural base, first lift over soft ground, or mud control.
