Crushed Gravel ordered online by the ton. A dump truck delivers to your New Caney address and unloads right where you point.
Crushed gravel in New Caney comes in sizes from fine 3/8-inch to heavy 2-to-3-inch material. The size you pick changes how the layer drains, compacts, and handles loads. New Caney gets about 54 inches of precipitation a year, so drainage and washout planning matter with your base.
A tighter, finer crush compacts into a denser surface that sheds water better. Larger stone leaves gaps that let water pass but needs more depth to stay stable. Matching the size to the job saves time and material.
For most jobs in New Caney, the 3/4-inch crushed gravel is the first pick. It compacts well and handles the local soil and rain. Here are the sizes available and what each is suited for.
| Size | Best use | Note |
|---|---|---|
| 3/8" Crushed Gravel | Fine compacting layer | Use under pavers or as a top dressing for paths. |
| 3/4" Crushed Gravel | The workhorse size for base and drives | The most-ordered size for driveways and building pads. |
| 1" - 1 1/2" Crushed Gravel | Structural base under heavy loads | Handles trucks and equipment on farm roads. |
| 1 1/2" Crushed Gravel | First lift over soft subgrade | Stabilizes wet ground before a finer top layer. |
| 2"-3" Crushed Gravel | Mud control and deep fill | Provides a coarse base in low areas or boggy spots. |
Here is how the sizes match common projects around New Caney.
| Project | What to order | Depth or note |
|---|---|---|
| Farm and site access road | 3/4" Crushed Gravel | Compacted lift over prepared subgrade. |
| Compacted base | 3/4" Crushed Gravel | Compacted to support expected traffic. |
| Shed or slab pad | 3/8" Crushed Gravel | Fine grading layer before concrete. |
| Soft or muddy subgrade | 1 1/2" Crushed Gravel | First lift to stabilize, then cap with 3/4". |
| Trench backfill | 3/4" Crushed Gravel | Packs around pipes and prevents settling. |
New Caney gets about 54 inches of precipitation a year. That means any gravel base needs to handle water moving through it. A well-draining crushed gravel layer prevents washout and keeps the surface firm.
About 62 days a year bring at least a tenth of an inch of rain. Scheduling the delivery onto firm ground matters because the truck needs solid access. The ground around New Caney is in hydrologic group C, which means it takes water in slowly and sheds a fair amount across the surface. A deeper drainage layer earns its place in the base design.
About 16 days a year drop below 32F. That freeze-thaw cycle can shift an unstable base, so a compacted crushed gravel layer resists that movement. Frost does not freeze the ground here significantly, so you do not need extreme base depth for frost protection. Frost is not the constraint here, so the calendar is driven by rain and by how wet the ground is.
To figure out how many tons of crushed gravel your project needs, measure the length and width of the area and decide on the depth. The depth depends on the subgrade and the use. Use our material calculators to convert that volume into tons. The calculator on Gravel Monkey takes your dimensions and gives you the tonnage for any size.
