Crushed Gravel ordered online by the ton. A dump truck delivers to your Killeen address and unloads right where you point.
Contractors and homeowners buy crushed gravel differently, but both need it delivered. Killeen gets about 35 inches of precipitation a year, so drainage planning matters with every load. Contractors often know the exact spec they need. Homeowners usually want a material that stays put and holds up. Gravel Monkey delivers by the dump truck load, priced by your ZIP code, so you get the stone without leaving the job site.
Crushed gravel is a sharp, angular stone that locks together under compaction. It handles heavy use and moves water better than rounded gravel. The size you choose depends on the base conditions and the traffic it will carry.
| Size | Best Use | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| 3/8" Crushed Gravel | Fine compacting layer | Great for paths and as a top dressing on drives. |
| 3/4" Crushed Gravel | Workhorse for base and drives | The standard size for driveways and parking areas. |
| 1" - 1 1/2" Crushed Gravel | Structural base, heavy loads | Used under concrete or asphalt for extra support. |
| 1 1/2" Crushed Gravel | First lift over soft subgrade | Bridges unstable ground before the surface layer. |
| 2"-3" Crushed Gravel | Mud control and deep fill | Fills ruts and builds a solid foundation in wet areas. |
Match the stone to the ground condition and the planned use for the best result.
| Project | What to Order | Depth or Note |
|---|---|---|
| Farm or site access road | 3/4" Crushed Gravel | 4 to 6 inches after compaction. |
| Soft or muddy subgrade | 1 1/2" Crushed Gravel | Start with a 6 to 8 inch lift. |
| Compacted base for pavement | 1" - 1 1/2" Crushed Gravel | Depth depends on the load spec. |
| Trench backfill | 3/4" Crushed Gravel | Allows water to drain through the trench. |
| Shed or slab pad | 3/8" Crushed Gravel | 2 to 4 inches, compacted smooth. |
Killeen gets about 35 inches of precipitation a year. That makes drainage and washout planning a priority for any gravel surface. About 49 days a year bring at least a tenth of an inch of rain, so scheduling the delivery onto firm ground can save you from working in the mud.
The ground around Killeen takes water in very slowly. Most rain runs across the surface instead of soaking in. That means a deeper base of crushed gravel matters more here than it does in places with sandy soil. Soils mapped in the Killeen area are commonly moderately well drained, which affects how much base stone you need under the surface layer. About 33 days a year drop below freezing. Winters here are cold enough to move an unsettled base, so compaction is worth the extra pass. Ground freezing is moderate, but it can affect how deep the base layer needs to be to stay stable through the season.
The amount of crushed gravel you need depends on the area and the depth of the lift. A 1-ton load covers roughly 100 square feet at 2 inches deep. Deep lifts for driveways or soft ground take more material. Use our material calculators to convert your project measurements into tons.

Delivery cost is calculated by your ZIP code at checkout. Gravel Monkey prices delivery per load, not per mile. The total includes the material, the truck, and the drop at your address.
Yes. Ground around Killeen takes water in very slowly, so most rain runs across the surface. That means a deeper crushed gravel base is often needed to keep the surface stable compared to areas with sandy or well-drained soil.
The size changes how the stone compacts and what loads it can carry. Smaller sizes like 3/8 inch make a smooth, tight surface. Larger sizes like 2 to 3 inches fill deep ruts and bridge soft mud. Middle sizes like 3/4 inch work best for general driveways and base layers.
A gravel driveway usually needs a total depth of 6 to 8 inches after compaction. This is built in layers, starting with a larger base stone and topping with a smaller surface stone. The right depth depends on the ground conditions and the weight of the traffic.
