Crushed Gravel ordered online by the ton. A dump truck delivers to your Panhandle address and unloads right where you point.
Panhandle, Texas has about 103 days each year when the temperature drops below 32 degrees Fahrenheit. That freeze-thaw cycle puts a lot of stress on any loose aggregate surface. Over time, the repeated freezing and thawing can break down weaker materials.
Crushed gravel is made by crushing rock, so the pieces have angular edges. Those edges lock together to create a stable surface that resists movement from frost heave. For Panhandle homeowners, this means fewer repairs and a firmer driveway year after year.
For most driveways and base layers in Panhandle, 3/4" Crushed Gravel is the most popular size. It works well as a base under concrete or asphalt and as the top layer for a gravel driveway. Here are all the sizes we offer:
| Product | Best For | Note |
|---|---|---|
| 3/8" Crushed Gravel | Fine compacting layer on top of base | Used under pavers or as a smooth surface for walkways. |
| 3/4" Crushed Gravel | Workhorse size for base and drives | Ideal for compacted base under heavy loads and gravel roads. |
| 1" - 1 1/2" Crushed Gravel | Structural base under heavy loads | Used for farm access roads and deep base layers. |
| 1 1/2" Crushed Gravel | First lift over soft subgrade | Good for building up a firm foundation in soft soils. |
| 2"-3" Crushed Gravel | Mud control and deep fill | Largest size for stabilizing muddy areas and filling ruts. |
Different jobs need different crushed gravel sizes. Use this table to find the right product for your project and the typical depth needed.
| Project | What to Order | Depth or Note |
|---|---|---|
| Soft or muddy subgrade | 2"-3" Crushed Gravel | 6 to 8 inches for initial stabilization |
| Trench backfill | 3/4" Crushed Gravel | Compact in lifts, depth varies with trench |
| Compacted base for driveway | 3/4" Crushed Gravel | 4 to 6 inches, compacted |
| Shed or slab pad | 3/8" Crushed Gravel | 4 inches for a firm, level surface |
| Farm and site access road | 1" - 1 1/2" Crushed Gravel | 6 to 8 inches for heavy equipment |
The freeze-thaw cycle in Panhandle is significant, with 103 freezing days each year. That causes the ground to shift, which can break up an unstable base. Freeze and thaw cycles work on loose material all winter, which is the argument for the deeper first lift.
Panhandle also gets about 15 inches of snow each year. Plowing that snow can push loose gravel around if the surface is not well compacted. A deeper lift and proper compaction reduce that problem.
The soil in the Panhandle area is in hydrologic group C, meaning it absorbs water slowly and a good amount runs off the surface. That runoff needs to drain through the gravel base. A deeper drainage layer helps keep the surface firm.
The amount of crushed gravel you need depends on the area and the depth of the base. Use our material calculators to get an estimate by entering your project's length, width, and desired depth.

Yes. The soil around Panhandle is in hydrologic group C, which means it takes in water slowly and sheds a lot across the surface. That runoff requires a deeper crushed gravel base to drain properly. Use our calculator to find the right depth for your project.
