Crushed Gravel ordered online by the ton. A dump truck delivers to your Moab address and unloads right where you point.
If you are building a gravel driveway or prepping a base for a shed or slab, a crushed gravel surface starts with the right base layer. The 3/4" Crushed Gravel is the standard size for compacted base under drives, while the 1" to 1 1/2" Crushed Gravel works under heavier loads.
Moab gets about 10 inches of precipitation a year, and the ground soaks water up quickly, so drainage and washout planning matter when you choose your base depth.
Crushed gravel comes in several sizes, split between base material and finish material. Use larger stone for the first lift over soft ground and smaller stone for the top layer.
| Product | Application | Note |
|---|---|---|
| 3/8" Crushed Gravel | Fine compacting layer | Used as a top dressing or under pavers for a smooth, level surface. |
| 3/4" Crushed Gravel | The workhorse size for base and drives | The standard choice for compacted base under driveways and paths, it compacts well. |
| 1" - 1 1/2" Crushed Gravel | Structural base under heavy loads | Provides a strong foundation under heavy loads like trucks and equipment; ideal for structural layers. |
| 1 1/2" Crushed Gravel | First lift over soft subgrade | Bridges weak soil and creates a working platform for subsequent lifts; use as first lift. |
| 2"-3" Crushed Gravel | Mud control and deep fill | The largest size for stabilizing muddy areas or filling deep holes; provides excellent mud control. |
Your choice between a budget surface and a long-term base depends on traffic and soil conditions. The table below matches common projects to the crushed gravel size that fits best.
| Project | What to order | Depth or note |
|---|---|---|
| Trench backfill | 3/4" Crushed Gravel | Compact in lifts; depth depends on trench size. |
| Shed or slab pad | 3/8" Crushed Gravel over 3/4" base | Use 4 to 6 inches of base, then a 2-inch top layer. |
| Soft or muddy subgrade | 1 1/2" Crushed Gravel first, then 3/4" | Start with a thick lift of coarse stone. |
| Farm and site access road | 1" - 1 1/2" Crushed Gravel | At least 6 inches compacted for heavy equipment. |
| Compacted base for pavement or concrete | 3/4" Crushed Gravel | Compact to 95% standard proctor. |
About 117 days a year drop below freezing in Moab, and freeze-thaw cycles can shift an unstable gravel base. That makes good compaction before winter critical.
Ground freezing in Moab is deep and long, so the base layer for a gravel surface needs to be deeper to resist frost heave. Snowfall averages about 15 inches a year, and plowing a loose gravel surface can push stone around unless it is well compacted. Hard freezes shape the calendar here, so base work is easier to get right from late spring through fall.
Soils mapped in the Moab area are commonly excessively drained. This means water passes through quickly, and in some subgrades you may need more base stone to maintain stability.
The amount of crushed gravel you need depends on the area you are covering and the compacted depth you plan to achieve. Use the material calculators on our site to estimate tonnage for your specific project.
