Crushed Gravel ordered online by the ton. A dump truck delivers to your East Bernard address and unloads right where you point.





Whether you are building a new driveway or a base for a shed, crushed gravel is a reliable choice. Two sizes stand out: 3/8″ Crushed Gravel for a smooth finish and 3/4″ Crushed Gravel for hard-wearing bases. Both are angular and lock together under load.
East Bernard gets about 49 inches of precipitation a year. Proper drainage and a well-compacted base make the difference in the long run.
Choosing the right size depends on the job. The table lists the options we offer, from fine surface layers to heavy structural lifts.
| Product | What it is for | Note |
|---|---|---|
| 3/8″ Crushed Gravel | Fine compacting layer | Ideal for pathways and as a base under concrete pavers. |
| 3/4″ Crushed Gravel | The workhorse size for base and drives | Best all-around choice for driveways and compacted pads. |
| 1″, 1 1/2″ Crushed Gravel | Structural base under heavy loads | Use where heavy trucks or equipment will be parked. |
| 1 1/2″ Crushed Gravel | First lift over soft subgrade | Starts the base on poor soil before a finer top layer. |
| 2″, 3″ Crushed Gravel | Mud control and deep fill | Fills deep ruts and soft spots in access roads and farm lanes. |
The right size depends on the load and the ground. For budget-friendly work, use a single lift. For long-term performance, multiple lifts with compaction are better.
| Project | What to order | Depth or note |
|---|---|---|
| Shed or slab pad | 3/4″ Crushed Gravel | 4 to 6 inches after compaction |
| Soft or muddy subgrade | 1 1/2″ Crushed Gravel as first lift, then 3/4″ on top | Start with 6 inches of 1 1/2″, cap with 4 inches of 3/4″ |
| Compacted base | 3/4″ Crushed Gravel | Compact in 4-inch lifts for best results |
| Farm and site access road | 2″, 3″ Crushed Gravel for deep fill, then 3/4″ top | Deep fill where needed, then 4 inches of 3/4″ |
| Trench backfill | 3/4″ or 1″, 1 1/2″ Crushed Gravel | Depth depends on utility line |
About 60 days a year bring at least a tenth of an inch of rain. Scheduling crushed gravel delivery on firm ground avoids ruts and compaction trouble.
Roughly 10 days annually drop below freezing. Thorough compaction becomes important because ground movement can unsettle a base. Winters here are cold enough to move an unsettled base, so compaction is worth the extra pass.
Soils mapped in the East Bernard area are commonly somewhat poorly drained. Most rain runs across the surface, so drainage and a deeper base layer matter more than in many locations. Wharton County permitted about 150 single-family homes in 2024, adding to the need for new driveways and pads.
