Crushed Gravel ordered online by the ton. A dump truck delivers to your Plymouth address and unloads right where you point.
Ordering crushed gravel in Plymouth works the same way as ordering anywhere else with Gravel Monkey. You pick the material and the amount online, and a dump truck delivers to the spot you mark on your property. The driver drops the whole load in one pile, so you need to have the area ready for that single deposit.
Plymouth gets about 34 inches of precipitation a year, which means drainage and washout planning matter when you put down a gravel surface. A good base and proper slope help the water run off instead of pooling and softening the subgrade.
Crushed gravel comes in different sizes, and the right one depends on whether you are building a base layer or a finished surface. The table below lists the sizes Gravel Monkey supplies, with the typical use for each.
| Size | Best for | Note |
|---|---|---|
| 3/8" Crushed Gravel | Fine compacting layer | Dusty when dry, locks into a tight surface for patios or paths. |
| 3/4" Crushed Gravel | The workhorse size for base and drives | Compacts well and stays stable under regular traffic. |
| 1" - 1 1/2" Crushed Gravel | Structural base under heavy loads | Larger particles provide drainage and strength for trucks or equipment. |
| 1 1/2" Crushed Gravel | First lift over soft subgrade | Bridges weak spots without sinking into the soil below. |
| 2"-3" Crushed Gravel | Mud control and deep fill | Works as a rough foundation where soft ground needs bridging first. |
For a budget-friendly approach, start with a larger stone and top it with a finer one. For a long-term solution, put in enough depth with the right base material to limit future maintenance.
| Project | What to order | Depth or note |
|---|---|---|
| Farm and site access road | 1 1/2" Crushed Gravel as base, 3/4" Crushed Gravel as top | 6 to 8 inches base, 2 to 3 inches top |
| Shed or slab pad | 1" - 1 1/2" Crushed Gravel for base, 3/8" Crushed Gravel for finish | 4 to 6 inches base, 1 inch finish |
| Compacted base | 3/4" Crushed Gravel | 4 to 6 inches compacted in lifts |
| Trench backfill | 1" - 1 1/2" Crushed Gravel or 3/4" Crushed Gravel | Loose fill, compact in layers |
| Soft or muddy subgrade | 2"-3" Crushed Gravel as first lift, then 1 1/2" Crushed Gravel | Bridging layer of 6 to 12 inches |
Spring thaw is the wet part of the year for driveways, and it is when a thin base shows up as ruts. Plymouth sees about 70 wet days a year where at least a tenth of an inch falls, so scheduling a delivery onto firm ground takes some planning. A dry spell of a few days makes for a much cleaner drop.
About 148 days a year drop below freezing, which means the ground is frozen solid for months. That deep, long frost pushes the subgrade up and pulls it back down, so a base layer on crushed gravel needs to be thick enough to resist movement. Around Plymouth, the ground soaks in water very slowly (most rain runs across the surface), which is why drainage and a deeper base matter more here than elsewhere. Planning for water to sheet off the gravel surface will help it last longer.
Figuring out the right tonnage depends on the area you want to cover and the depth you choose. The simplest way to get a number is to use the material calculators on the Gravel Monkey site. Enter your square footage and depth, and the tool gives you the tons required for the size you picked.
You order online by the ton, and delivery pricing is calculated by ZIP code at checkout. A dump truck brings the load to your address, from 1 ton up to 40 tons or more. Free delivery applies on qualifying orders. Use code FIRSTTIMER50 for $50 off a first order.
Delivery is scheduled at checkout, and you choose a window (morning 7 am to 12 pm, or afternoon 12 pm to 5 pm). The lead time is at least 3 business days. You get a confirmation email, then a second email closer to the date with the scheduled window and a photo of the material being loaded. The delivery goes ahead only after you approve that second email. Someone must be present at the site during the window. If access is restricted, the crew unloads as close as safely possible.

Yes. The ground freezes deep and long here, with about 148 days below 32F each year. That means the base layer needs to be thick enough to resist frost heave, and ordering in late fall gives the material time to settle before the ground locks up. Spring orders work too, but wait until the ground thaws and firms up before the truck arrives.
About 70 days a year bring at least a tenth of an inch of rain. Scheduling a dry spell of two or three days ahead of delivery keeps the site firm and the drop clean. The truck can deliver in light rain, but soft ground makes it harder to get the load placed exactly where you want.
