Crushed Gravel ordered online by the ton. A dump truck delivers to your Wimberley address and unloads right where you point.
Whether you are building a new driveway or reinforcing a farm road, crushed gravel offers a durable, angular base that locks together under compaction. For most Wimberley projects, 3/4" Crushed Gravel works as a workhorse base material, while 2"-3" Crushed Gravel handles deep fill and muddy spots. With Wimberley averaging about 37 inches of rain each year, drainage planning is essential to keep your gravel from washing out.
Crushed gravel is a cost-effective choice compared to decorative stone, and it provides immediate stability. Whether you need a compacted base or a top layer that won't shift, the right size makes the difference. Gravel Monkey delivers tons of crushed gravel right to your Wimberley address, so you can focus on the work.
Crushed gravel splits into two main categories: base materials that support heavy loads and finer grades that compact into a smooth surface. Choosing between crushed gravel and crushed stone? Both are angular, but crushed gravel is often more economical for base applications. The table below details each size available from Gravel Monkey.
| Product | Best for | Note |
|---|---|---|
| 3/8" Crushed Gravel | Fine compacting layer | Use as a final wearing surface or under pavers. |
| 3/4" Crushed Gravel | The workhorse size for base and drives | Durable and versatile, it locks together well. |
| 1" - 1 1/2" Crushed Gravel | Structural base under heavy loads | Provides a stable foundation for heavy traffic. |
| 1 1/2" Crushed Gravel | First lift over soft subgrade | Bridges soft spots and distributes weight. |
| 2"-3" Crushed Gravel | Mud control and deep fill | Handles wet areas and large voids. |
When deciding between a budget-friendly option and a long-term investment, consider how much traffic and moisture the surface will see. The table below matches projects to recommended crushed gravel sizes.
| Project | What to order | Depth or note |
|---|---|---|
| Compacted base | 3/4" Crushed Gravel | Layer thickness matches subgrade condition. |
| Farm and site access road | 2"-3" Crushed Gravel | Handles heavy equipment and wet seasons. |
| Shed or slab pad | 3/8" Crushed Gravel | Provides a level, compact surface. |
| Trench backfill | 1" - 1 1/2" Crushed Gravel | Drains freely around pipes or foundations. |
| Soft or muddy subgrade | 1 1/2" Crushed Gravel | First lift to stabilize before base layer. |
Wimberley receives about 37 inches of precipitation each year, which means your crushed gravel needs proper drainage to prevent washout. Planning for water flow from the start will extend the life of your surface.
About 48 days a year bring at least a tenth of an inch of rain, so scheduling deliveries onto firm ground matters. Freezing conditions occur about 20 days a year below 32 degrees F, but frost is not a significant factor here. Frost is not the constraint here, so the calendar is driven by rain and by how wet the ground is.
The ground around Wimberley belongs to hydrologic group D, meaning it takes in water very slowly. Most rain runs across the surface rather than soaking in, so a deeper crushed gravel base is more important here than in areas with fast-draining soils. Account for surface runoff when designing your project.
To determine the tonnage for your project, use Gravel Monkey's material calculators. Enter the area dimensions and the desired depth, and the calculator returns the amount in tons. This tool accounts for the specific density of crushed gravel, giving you a precise order.
Ordering is straightforward. Choose your crushed gravel size and quantity by the ton, enter your delivery ZIP code at checkout to see the price, and select a delivery window. Loads range from one ton to over 40 tons, and qualifying orders may receive free delivery. Use code FIRSTTIMER50 for $50 off your first order.
Delivery details are confirmed in two emails: an order confirmation and a second message closer to your date with the scheduled window and a photo of the material being loaded. You approve that second email before delivery proceeds. A valid phone number is required to confirm the appointment.

Yes. The ground in the Wimberley area takes water in very slowly (hydrologic group D), so most rain runs off. A deeper crushed gravel base helps manage this runoff and prevents washout, meaning you may need more material than in areas with fast-draining soil.
Wimberley sees about 20 days a year below freezing, but frost is not a significant factor. The main constraint is rain and wet ground, which can affect access. Gravel Monkey requires a delivery window to be approved before dispatch, so dry conditions are taken into account.
The delivery truck needs a road width of at least 12 feet. If access is restricted, the crew will unload as close to your requested spot as safety allows. Ensure the path is clear and solid enough for a heavy vehicle.
Depth varies by project and ground condition. For a driveway base, a typical lift of crushed gravel is several inches. Soft or wet subgrade may require a thicker first lift. Use Gravel Monkey's calculator to estimate tonnage for your depth.
