Crushed Gravel ordered online by the ton. A dump truck delivers to your Farmington address and unloads right where you point.
A dump truck delivery of crushed gravel starts with you marking the spot. The driver places the load where you indicate, and you spread it from there.
Soils mapped in the Farmington area are commonly somewhat poorly drained. That means installing a good base layer keeps the crushed gravel from punching into the ground below.
Crushed gravel is crushed and angular, which lets it lock together better than rounded stone. The size you choose depends on whether the load is for a structural base or a finished surface.
| Product | Best Use | Note |
|---|---|---|
| 3/8" Crushed Gravel | fine compacting layer | Good finish surface for walkways. |
| 3/4" Crushed Gravel | the workhorse size for base and drives | Most common choice for new driveways. |
| 1" - 1 1/2" Crushed Gravel | structural base under heavy loads | Used under concrete or large equipment. |
| 1 1/2" Crushed Gravel | first lift over soft subgrade | Bridges soft spots without sinking. |
| 2"-3" Crushed Gravel | mud control and deep fill | For wet areas or building up low spots. |
Choosing a crushed gravel size that matches the ground conditions saves money over time. A budget build uses one material, while a layered build gives a longer lasting surface.
| Project | What to order | Depth or note |
|---|---|---|
| soft or muddy subgrade | 2"-3" Crushed Gravel | First lift over soft subgrade. |
| trench backfill | 3/4" Crushed Gravel | Compacted base, workhorse size. |
| farm and site access road | 1 1/2" Crushed Gravel | Structural base under heavy loads. |
| shed or slab pad | 3/8" Crushed Gravel | Fine compacting layer. |
| compacted base | 3/4" Crushed Gravel | Workhorse size for base and drives. |
Ground freezing in Farmington is real but moderate. This affects how deep your base layer should be to avoid shifting when the thaw comes each spring.
The ground around Farmington takes water in slowly and sheds a fair amount across the surface. Because of this, a deeper drainage layer under the crushed gravel earns its place in this setting. Good drainage keeps the base from saturating and softening.
Winters here are cold enough to move an unsettled base, so compaction is worth the extra pass. Compaction locks the angular faces of the crushed gravel together, creating a firm surface that resists frost movement.
Davis County permitted about 920 single-family homes in 2024. New construction means fresh driveways, approach roads and utility trenches that need a solid crushed gravel base under them.
The amount of crushed gravel you need depends on the area and the depth of the lift. Depth is usually set by the ground conditions and the weight the surface has to carry.

Yes. Ground freezing in Farmington is real but moderate. Ordering early in the season or waiting for a consistent thaw allows you to compact the base properly before layers trap moisture.
Farmington has a noticeable number of wet days. The ground takes water in slowly and sheds a fair amount across the surface, so a dry stretch helps the truck access the site without rutting.
