Crushed Gravel ordered online by the ton. A dump truck delivers to your Lampasas address and unloads right where you point.
Contractors and homeowners buy crushed gravel in different ways. Contractors often order larger loads for road bases or structural fill, while homeowners typically need less for a driveway, pad, or drainage project. Both groups have to plan around the 33 inches of precipitation Lampasas gets each year, which affects drainage and washout.
Choosing the right size and depth depends on the job and the local ground conditions. The sections below break down the available products and how to match them to your project.
Crushed gravel comes in several sizes, each suited to a different part of the job. The table below lists the options we deliver to Lampasas addresses.
| Size | Best used for | Note |
|---|---|---|
| 3/8" Crushed Gravel | Fine compacting layer | Creates a smooth, tight surface for patios and walkways. |
| 3/4" Crushed Gravel | The workhorse size for base and drives | Compacts well and supports light to moderate traffic. |
| 1" - 1 1/2" Crushed Gravel | Structural base under heavy loads | Provides stability for equipment or truck access. |
| 1 1/2" Crushed Gravel | First lift over soft subgrade | Bridges unstable soil before a finer top layer. |
| 2"-3" Crushed Gravel | Mud control and deep fill | Drains quickly and locks together under weight. |
Different projects call for different crushed gravel types. The table below matches common problems to the right product and depth.
| Project | What to order | Depth or note |
|---|---|---|
| Compacted base | 3/4" Crushed Gravel | 4 to 6 inches, compacted |
| Trench backfill | 1" - 1 1/2" Crushed Gravel | Depends on trench width and depth |
| Soft or muddy subgrade | 1 1/2" Crushed Gravel | First lift, then compact |
| Farm and site access road | 3/4" Crushed Gravel | 6 to 8 inches, compacted |
| Shed or slab pad | 3/8" Crushed Gravel | 2 to 4 inches, compacted |
Soils mapped in the Lampasas area are commonly well drained. That means you may need more or less base stone under the surface layer depending on the specific site. The ground around Lampasas is in hydrologic group B, meaning it takes water in at a moderate rate. Standard base depth is usually enough for most projects.
Lampasas gets about 33 inches of precipitation a year, making drainage and washout planning important when placing crushed gravel. About 49 days a year bring at least a tenth of an inch of rain, so scheduling the delivery onto firm ground helps avoid soft conditions. About 39 days a year drop below 32F, which affects the work window and how much the ground moves. Frost penetration here is real but moderate, influencing how deep the base layer needs to be. Winters here are cold enough to move an unsettled base, so compaction is worth the extra pass.
To calculate the amount of crushed gravel for your project, you need to know the area and desired depth. Use our material calculators to get an estimate of the tons required for your specific job. The calculator accounts for material density and helps you order the right amount.

Crushed gravel works well with other bulk materials. Consider these options for the same job:
Yes. Soils mapped in the Lampasas area are commonly well drained, which can affect the depth of base stone needed. The ground takes in water at a moderate rate, so standard base depth is usually enough for most projects.
Spring and fall often provide the most consistent weather for gravel work. About 39 days a year drop below 32F, so winter can delay compaction. Summer heat helps dry things out, but watch for afternoon storms.
Crushed gravel is not ideal for decorative pathways that require a larger, clean aesthetic, nor for areas where sharp edges could be an issue. It is also not a substitute for crushed stone in high-traffic structural applications where angular interlock is critical.
Yes. Contractors can place orders for their clients. The client must be available during the delivery window or nominate someone to receive the load. The ordering process is the same as for homeowners.
