Crushed Gravel ordered online by the ton. A dump truck delivers to your Linden address and unloads right where you point.
Linden sits in Cass County, in the northeast corner of Texas. Many properties here use crushed gravel for driveways, farm lanes, and building pads. The area gets about 50 inches of precipitation a year, so drainage and washout are real concerns. Crushed gravel handles them well when properly compacted.
The material is crushed and angular, which lets the pieces lock together under load. It works for everything from a garden walk to a heavy truck access road.
Crushed gravel is sold by the ton in five common sizes. Each size suits a different part of the job, from a fine surface to a deep base over soft ground.
| Product | Best Use | Note |
|---|---|---|
| 3/8" Crushed Gravel | Fine compacting layer | Good for a top wearing course on a stable base. |
| 3/4" Crushed Gravel | The workhorse size for base and drives | All-purpose stone that compacts well and sheds water. |
| 1" - 1 1/2" Crushed Gravel | Structural base under heavy loads | Larger particles that build strength deep in the section. |
| 1 1/2" Crushed Gravel | First lift over soft subgrade | Puts a stable platform down before finer layers go on. |
| 2"-3" Crushed Gravel | Mud control and deep fill | The biggest size for severe spots and deep voids. |
Match the project to the product that solves the specific problem. The table below lists typical uses and the recommended size.
| Project | What to Order | Depth or Note |
|---|---|---|
| Trench backfill | 3/4" Crushed Gravel | Compacted in lifts of 4 to 6 inches. |
| Compacted base | 1" - 1 1/2" Crushed Gravel | 6 to 8 inches after compaction. |
| Farm and site access road | 3/4" Crushed Gravel | Full depth 6 to 10 inches, crowned for drainage. |
| Shed or slab pad | 3/4" Crushed Gravel | 4-inch compacted layer below the concrete. |
| Soft or muddy subgrade | 1 1/2" Crushed Gravel | First lift 6 inches, then cap with 3/4" . |
Linden sees about 44 freezing days a year. When the ground freezes and thaws repeatedly, an unsettled base can shift and rut. Winters here are cold enough to move an unsettled base, so compaction is worth the extra pass. A well-compacted crushed gravel driveway stays in place through the freeze cycle.
Frost penetrates the ground here in a real but moderate way. That means the base layer needs enough depth to stay stable as the soil below softens in spring. The area also gets about 1 inch of snowfall a year, so plowing is rare, but if you do scrape snow off a loose gravel surface, the top layer can get pushed aside.
The ground around Linden takes water in slowly and sheds a fair amount of it across the surface. That surface runoff is a good reason to put in a deeper drainage layer below your crushed gravel. A thick open-graded base lets water escape rather than pooling under the stone.
Crushed gravel is sold by the ton, and the amount you need depends on the area you are covering and the compacted depth you plan. The easiest way to figure your tonnage is to use the material calculators on our site. Enter your dimensions and depth, and the calculator gives you the tons.

Crushed gravel does a lot on its own, but sometimes another material solves a different part of the job. Here are materials you might need alongside it.

The soil in the Linden area is in hydrologic group C. That means it takes water in slowly and sheds a fair amount across the surface. Because of that surface runoff, a deeper drainage layer under the crushed gravel helps keep the base dry and stable.
