Crushed Gravel ordered online by the ton. A dump truck delivers to your Cheyenne address and unloads right where you point.
Crushed gravel orders through Gravel Monkey run from one ton to 40 tons or more, so a small walkway and a large farm road can both be handled with a single delivery. Because Cheyenne gets about 16 inches of precipitation a year, you need to plan for drainage and washout even with a compacted gravel surface.
This guide covers the crushed gravel sizes available, the base depth recommended for different uses, and how the local climate in Cheyenne shapes the installation calendar.
Crushed gravel comes in angular particles that lock together under compaction. Each size serves a different purpose, from a fine top surface to a coarse base layer. The table below lists the sizes we offer in Cheyenne.
| Size | Best for | Note |
|---|---|---|
| 3/8" Crushed Gravel | Fine compacting layer | Works well as a top dressing on driveways or for walkways. |
| 3/4" Crushed Gravel | The workhorse size for base and drives | The most common choice for driveways and base layers under pavers. |
| 1" - 1 1/2" Crushed Gravel | Structural base under heavy loads | Suitable for truck traffic or equipment yards. |
| 1 1/2" Crushed Gravel | First lift over soft subgrade | Provides a strong starting layer on unstable soils. |
| 2"-3" Crushed Gravel | Mud control and deep fill | Used for mud control in low areas or as fill in deep cavities. |
The table below matches common project problems with the crushed gravel size that solves them. Each row addresses a typical situation you might face on a Cheyenne property.
| Project | What to order | Depth or note |
|---|---|---|
| Soft or muddy subgrade | 1 1/2" Crushed Gravel | First lift to stabilize the soil |
| Compacted base for driveway or patio | 3/4" Crushed Gravel | Compacted to a firm, level base |
| Farm and site access road | 1" - 1 1/2" Crushed Gravel | Heavy-duty base for equipment |
| Shed or slab pad | 3/8" Crushed Gravel | Compacted level pad for the structure |
| Trench backfill | 2"-3" Crushed Gravel | Coarse fill for drainage around utilities |
Cheyenne gets about 16 inches of precipitation a year. That low annual total means crushed gravel surfaces are less likely to wash out than in wetter climates, but you still need to slope the surface for runoff. About 41 days a year bring at least a tenth of an inch of rain, so scheduling a delivery onto firm, dry ground is usually straightforward.
The climate here has about 176 days a year that drop below 32F, and the ground freezes deep and long. Because of that deep frost, the crushed gravel base under driveways, pads and any structure over soil should be thicker than in milder regions to resist frost heave. Snowfall averages about 65 inches a year, so a loose or thin gravel surface can be disturbed by snow plowing if it was not compacted properly.
Hard freezes shape the calendar here, so base work is easier to get right from late spring through fall. Cheyenne's population is about 65,773, and Laramie County permitted about 332 single-family homes in 2024, reflecting steady demand for new gravel driveways and site work.
To estimate the tons of crushed gravel you need, measure the length, width and desired depth of the area in feet. Multiply those numbers, then adjust for compaction and the specific gravity of the stone. The easiest way is to use Gravel Monkey's material calculators, which do the math for you based on the shape of the area.
Depth varies by project: a driveway base needs to be thicker than a walkway, and a base over soft subgrade needs more material. The calculator lets you enter the depth you plan to use and returns an accurate tonnage estimate.

Yes. The ground in Cheyenne freezes deep and long, so a crushed gravel base that would be adequate in a warmer climate may need to be thicker here to resist frost heave. The exact depth depends on the project, but planning for a deeper base than you might expect is prudent.
Late spring through fall is the best time. About 176 days a year drop below 32F, and the ground is frozen through winter. Ordering during the warmer months ensures the ground is firm enough for good compaction and the delivery can access the site without snow or mud issues.
