Crushed Gravel ordered online by the ton. A dump truck delivers to your Long Beach address and unloads right where you point.
Crushed gravel comes in several sizes, and the one you choose changes how a surface behaves. The right size resists washout, supports weight, and locks together when compacted. Long Beach gets about 78 inches of precipitation a year, so drainage and washout planning matter in every project.
Gravel Monkey delivers crushed gravel by the ton to addresses throughout Pacific County. You pick the size that fits your job and order online in minutes.
The 3/4-inch crushed gravel is the most ordered size for bases and driveways. The other sizes serve specific jobs, from a fine compacting layer to deep fill over soft ground.
| Product | Best for | Note |
|---|---|---|
| 3/8" Crushed Gravel | Fine compacting layer | Creates a smooth finish under pavers or as a top dressing. |
| 3/4" Crushed Gravel | Workhorse size for base and drives | Comes in washed and minus versions; minus has fines for better compaction. |
| 1" - 1 1/2" Crushed Gravel | Structural base under heavy loads | Good for truck traffic, barn floors, and commercial lots. |
| 1 1/2" Crushed Gravel | First lift over soft subgrade | Bridges weak spots and stiffens the ground before finer stone. |
| 2"-3" Crushed Gravel | Mud control and deep fill | Used as a mud barrier or to build up thick sections of road. |
Match the product to the job by looking at the subgrade condition and the surface you want.
| Project | What to order | Depth or note |
|---|---|---|
| Soft or muddy subgrade | 1 1/2" Crushed Gravel | 8 to 12 inches as a stabilising lift |
| Farm and site access road | 3/4" Crushed Gravel | 4 to 6 inches after compaction |
| Shed or slab pad | 3/8" Crushed Gravel | 2 to 4 inches as a compacted base |
| Compacted base | 1" - 1 1/2" Crushed Gravel | 6 to 8 inches for heavy loads |
| Trench backfill | 2"-3" Crushed Gravel | Filled in lifts of 12 inches or less |
Frost is not the constraint here, so the calendar is driven by rain and by how wet the ground is. About 137 days a year bring at least a tenth of an inch of rain. That means scheduling the delivery onto firm ground matters more than waiting for a thaw.
About 76 days a year drop below 32 degrees Fahrenheit. The consequence is a narrow work window and ground movement from freezing and thawing. Snowfall is only about 1 inch a year, so plowing damage to a loose surface is not a major concern.
Soils mapped in the Long Beach area are commonly excessively drained. This means you may need either more or less base stone under the surface layer depending on the site. The ground around Long Beach is in hydrologic group A, which soaks water up quickly and produces little runoff. Less drainage stone is needed under the surface as a result.
Tonnage depends on the area, the depth, and how well the material compacts. Use Gravel Monkey's material calculators to get a cubic yard estimate, then convert to tons for ordering. No two projects use the same amount.
Ordering crushed gravel is done entirely online. You pick the product and quantity, enter your ZIP code for a delivery price, and choose a date at least 3 business days out. You pick a delivery window: morning from 7 am to 12 pm or afternoon from 12 pm to 5 pm. The truck brings 1 to 40-plus tons to your address. Orders over a qualifying amount ship free, and you can use code FIRSTTIMER50 for $50 off your first order.
You receive an email confirmation when the order is placed, then a second email closer to the delivery date with the scheduled window and a photo of the material being loaded. Delivery goes ahead only after you approve that second email. You or someone you nominate must be present during the window. The site needs a road width of at least 12 feet.

Crushed gravel often pairs with other bulk materials. These are delivered the same way by the ton.
Yes. The ground around Long Beach is in hydrologic group A, which soaks water up quickly and produces little runoff. That means less drainage stone is needed under the surface layer. The quantity of base crushed gravel can be reduced accordingly, though local site conditions still matter.
The smallest load is 1 ton. Because soils in the Long Beach area are commonly excessively drained, the base depth may need to be adjusted, which affects the total tonnage. The calculator on the site will help you determine the amount for your project.
Yes. Smaller stone like 3/8-inch packs tightly and creates a smooth, stable surface. Larger stone like 1 1/2-inch leaves more voids and does not compact as densely. For base layers, a blend of sizes or a "minus" product that includes fines gives the best compaction.
Crushed gravel is sold by the ton. You estimate the cubic yardage needed for your area and depth, then convert to tons using the material's weight per cubic yard (typically 1.25 to 1.35 tons per yard for crushed gravel). The delivery truck unloads by weight on a scale ticket.
Browse the product sizes above and use the calculator to find your tonnage. Once you know the amount, place your order online for delivery to your address in Long Beach or anywhere in Pacific County. Visit the Long Beach hub for more details.
