Crushed Gravel ordered online by the ton. A dump truck delivers to your Odessa address and unloads right where you point.
The price you see at checkout covers the material, the truck, and the drop to your address. Odessa gets only about 15 inches of precipitation a year, so drainage planning matters less than choosing the right size for the load-bearing job you have.
Crushed gravel is angular and locks together when compacted. It resists shifting better than rounded stone and works as a base, a surface, or a fill material. You pick the day, and a dump truck delivers by the ton.
Each size handles a different load. Avoid using a fine stone where a heavy structural base is needed, and do not use a large stone where you need a smooth, compacted finish. The table below matches each product to its best use.
| Product | Best use | Note |
|---|---|---|
| 3/8" Crushed Gravel | Fine compacting layer | Not for driveways under heavy vehicles; too thin for base loads. |
| 3/4" Crushed Gravel | Workhorse size for base and drives | Not for soft subgrade without a larger first lift below it. |
| 1" - 1 1/2" Crushed Gravel | Structural base under heavy loads | Not a wearing surface; needs a top layer for traffic. |
| 1 1/2" Crushed Gravel | First lift over soft subgrade | Not for final grade; designed to bridge weak soil. |
| 2"-3" Crushed Gravel | Mud control and deep fill | Not for small patches; needs a thick lift to work. |
The table below suggests a product for each common job. Your exact depth and the condition of the ground will change the choice, so use this as a starting point.
| Project | What to order | Depth or note |
|---|---|---|
| Trench backfill | 3/4" Crushed Gravel | Compacts well and drains, 6 to 12 inches |
| Farm and site access road | 1" - 1 1/2" Crushed Gravel | First lift 6 inches, top with 3/4" stone |
| Soft or muddy subgrade | 1 1/2" Crushed Gravel | Place directly on muck, 8 to 12 inches |
| Compacted base | 3/4" Crushed Gravel | Lift thickness 4 to 6 inches, compact each layer |
| Shed or slab pad | 3/8" Crushed Gravel | Minimum 4 inches, compacted smooth |
Odessa receives about 15 inches of precipitation annually, which means water does not often sit on the surface. The consequence is that a standard base depth of 4 to 6 inches of compacted crushed gravel usually handles drainage without extra stone. About 26 days a year bring at least a tenth of an inch of rain, so scheduling the delivery onto firm ground is straightforward most of the time.
Freezing happens about 49 days a year below 32 degrees F, but ground freezing here is not a significant factor. That means the base layer does not need extra depth to resist frost heave. The snowfall is about 2 inches a year, and plowing damage to a loose surface is unlikely. Soils mapped in the Odessa area are commonly well drained, so less base stone is needed under the surface layer for areas with native soil. The ground around Odessa takes water in at a moderate rate, so standard base depth is usually enough.
Work can run most of the year in this climate, which makes scheduling the delivery the easy part.
Ton per square foot changes with the stone size and the depth you plan. To get a number for your project, use the material calculators on the Gravel Monkey site. Enter the area and the depth, and the calculator returns the estimated tons. Order a little extra for compaction loss.
Buying is simple: choose your product, enter your Odessa address, pick a delivery window at checkout, and place the order. The delivery date must be at least 3 business days after the order date. You can pick a morning window (7 am to 12 pm) or an afternoon window (12 pm to 5 pm). A valid phone number is required to confirm the delivery.
You get an email confirmation when the order is placed, then a second email closer to the date with the scheduled window and a photo of the material being loaded. Delivery only goes ahead once you approve that second email. You, or someone you nominate, need to be on site during the delivery window. The site needs a road width of at least 12 feet for the truck.

Crushed gravel often pairs with other bulk materials on the same job. Consider these options.
Plan for about 26 days a year when at least a tenth of an inch of rain falls. Those are the days the ground might be too soft for the truck or for good compaction. Scheduling around those days is easy because the delivery window is chosen at checkout.
Ground freezing is not a significant factor here. About 49 days a year drop below 32 degrees F, but the freeze does not penetrate deep enough to alter base requirements. You can order crushed gravel year-round without adjusting the depth for frost.
Gravel Monkey delivers anywhere the truck can access safely within the delivery area for Odessa. Your address is checked by ZIP code at checkout. The site needs a road width of at least 12 feet, and someone must be present during the chosen window.
Start with what the stone needs to do. For a compacted base under a shed or walkway, use 3/8" crushed gravel. For a driveway or heavy traffic area, use 3/4" crushed gravel. For soft ground or deep fill, use 1 1/2" or 2"-3" crushed gravel. The product table above gives more detail on each size.
