Crushed Gravel ordered online by the ton. A dump truck delivers to your Woodland address and unloads right where you point.
Crushed gravel is an angular aggregate compacted into a durable base for driveways, parking areas, and structural fills. At Gravel Monkey you buy it by the ton online, choose a delivery window, and a dump truck brings the load to your Woodland address.
The ground around Woodland is mapped in hydrologic group A, meaning it soaks water up quickly and produces little runoff. This soil behavior often reduces the drainage layer needed under a crushed gravel surface compared with heavier soils.
No single crushed gravel size fits every job. Each product has a specific use and a clear limitation. The table below lists the sizes Gravel Monkey delivers to Woodland, with the best application and a note for each.
| Size | Best for | Note |
|---|---|---|
| 3/8" Crushed Gravel | Fine compacting layer | Ideal for top courses but will rut under heavy traffic. |
| 3/4" Crushed Gravel | Workhorse size for base and drives | Versatile compacting base; too coarse for a finished walking surface. |
| 1" - 1 1/2" Crushed Gravel | Structural base under heavy loads | Compacts hard but requires significant effort and equipment. |
| 1 1/2" Crushed Gravel | First lift over soft subgrade | Bridges weak ground; must be covered with a finer surface. |
| 2"-3" Crushed Gravel | Mud control and deep fill | Excellent for deep muddy areas; capped with a smaller gravel. |
The table below pairs common project scenarios with the recommended crushed gravel product and a brief note on depth or construction sequence.
| Project | What to order | Depth or note |
|---|---|---|
| Soft or muddy subgrade | 1 1/2" Crushed Gravel | Place as first lift; compact before adding surface layer. |
| Trench backfill | 3/4" Crushed Gravel | Compact in lifts for drainage and bedding support. |
| Shed or slab pad | 3/8" Crushed Gravel | Fine leveling course; smooth for concrete forms. |
| Farm and site access road | 2"-3" Crushed Gravel | Deep fill for wet spots; top with 3/4" gravel. |
| Compacted base | 3/4" Crushed Gravel | Standard base; compact to engineer's specification. |
Woodland's soils are mapped as well drained, so the base stone volume under crushed gravel is often lower than on clay sites. However, moderate ground freezing here means the first lift of base should go deep enough to resist frost heave.
The ground around Woodland belongs to hydrologic group A, which soaks up rainwater quickly and produces little runoff. This further reduces the need for a separate drainage layer, as standing water rarely becomes an issue.
Freeze and thaw cycles work on loose material all winter, which is the argument for the deeper first lift. Cowlitz County permitted about 297 single-family homes in 2024, reflecting steady local construction that often relies on crushed gravel for foundations and driveways.
Your tonnage depends on the project area, the gravel size, and the number of compaction lifts. Use our material calculators to convert length, width, and depth into tons. The calculator accounts for compaction and waste, so you can compare different sizes and depths before ordering.
Ordering is simple and handled entirely online. Choose your product and tonnage, then select a delivery window at least 3 business days out. Delivery is priced by your ZIP code at checkout, and free delivery applies to qualifying orders. First-time customers can use code FIRSTTIMER50 for $50 off.
The truck delivers to your address in a dump truck. You choose a morning or afternoon window, and you must approve a second confirmation email before the load is dispatched. To learn more about the company, read About Gravel Monkey, check customer reviews, or review delivery information.
Yes, moderate ground freezing is common here, which can make soft ground more firm in winter but also cause freeze-thaw cycles that loosen base material. Gravel Monkey schedules deliveries at least 3 business days out, so you can choose a window when conditions are workable for your site.
While there is no specific wet-day count, the ground around Woodland drains quickly because it soaks water up and produces little runoff. This means you can often schedule delivery a day after rain without excessive mud.
The right size depends on the project. For a base under heavy loads like a driveway, use 3/4" or 1" to 1 1/2" crushed gravel. For a fine top layer on a path or patio, 3/8" crushed gravel works well. For deep muddy areas, start with 2"-3" gravel and cap with a finer layer.
After placing your order online, you select a delivery window at least 3 business days later. You receive an email confirmation, then a second email closer to the date with a photo of the loaded material and the scheduled window. You must approve that second email for the delivery to proceed.
