Buy Crushed Gravel in Wisconsin

Contractors order crushed gravel by the truckload for base courses and access roads. Homeowners often need smaller quantities for a driveway top-up or a shed pad. Gravel Monkey delivers both kinds of jobs across Wisconsin by the ton.

The difference is in how each buyer chooses the size. A contractor knows exactly what the spec calls for. A homeowner may be working it out for the first time. This page walks through the sizes, the local conditions that affect your base, and how to get a delivered price for your address.

Crushed Gravel Sizes Available in Wisconsin

Crushed gravel comes in several sizes, each suited to a different layer in a project. Choose the smallest size for a finished surface or the largest for a structural base over soft ground.

Which Crushed Gravel to Order for Common Wisconsin Projects

Think about the problem you are solving. The table below matches common job types to the size and depth that works in Wisconsin conditions.

How Wisconsin's Climate Affects Your Crushed Gravel Base

Across the cities we deliver to in Wisconsin, annual precipitation runs from about 32 to 37 inches. Freezing days range from about 148 to 187 days a year below 32F, depending on where in the state. Most of Wisconsin sits in the severe band for ground freezing. Ground that freezes deep moves as it thaws, which is why the base layer matters more here than the top layer. Hydrologic soil groups A and B are the most common across the served cities, meaning the ground drains relatively well but a poorly compacted base can settle when the frost goes out.

WisDOT runs a spring load-restriction program during the thaw period. That program limits the weight and speed of vehicles on certain roads to prevent damage. It does not stop all deliveries, but it can affect the route the truck takes and the time of day it arrives.

Because the freeze-thaw cycle is strong across the state, a well-compacted crushed gravel base resists frost heave better than a rounded material. Angular, crushed particles lock together and do not shift when the ground beneath them moves.

How Much Crushed Gravel You Need

Tonnage depends on the area you are covering and the depth you plan to place. A cubic yard of crushed gravel weighs about 1.4 tons, but the exact figure varies by size and moisture. Use our material calculators to convert your project dimensions into tons. Enter the length, width and depth, and the tool gives you an estimate.
