Crushed Gravel ordered online by the ton. A dump truck delivers to your Powell address and unloads right where you point.
If you are building a driveway or a base for a structure in Powell, crushed gravel is the material you need. Two of the most useful sizes are 3/4" Crushed Gravel for the main base layer and 1 1/2" Crushed Gravel for the first lift over soft ground. The area gets about 7 inches of precipitation a year, so drainage planning matters from the start.
This page covers the sizes available, how to match them to your project, and how Gravel Monkey delivers by the ton straight to your address in Powell.
Crushed gravel comes in several angular sizes, each suited to a different part of the job. The finer grades work as a surface or a binding layer, while the larger ones handle structural loads and mud control. Here are the sizes you can order.
| Product | Best for | Note |
|---|---|---|
| 3/8" Crushed Gravel | Fine compacting layer | Used as a top dressing or under pavers where a smooth finish is needed. |
| 3/4" Crushed Gravel | The workhorse size for base and drives | Compacts well and handles light to moderate traffic on driveways and paths. |
| 1" - 1 1/2" Crushed Gravel | Structural base under heavy loads | Ideal for parking areas or commercial-grade drives where weight distribution is key. |
| 1 1/2" Crushed Gravel | First lift over soft subgrade | Provides a stable starting point before adding a finer surface layer. |
| 2"-3" Crushed Gravel | Mud control and deep fill | Used in wet spots or as a deep base where the ground needs extra stability. |
Each project has a budget option and a long-term option. The table below shows what to order for five typical jobs around Powell.
| Project | What to order | Depth or note |
|---|---|---|
| Soft or muddy subgrade | 1 1/2" Crushed Gravel or 2"-3" Crushed Gravel | Use a thick lift to bridge the soft ground before compacting. |
| Trench backfill | 3/4" Crushed Gravel | Compacts well around pipes and allows drainage. |
| Compacted base | 3/4" Crushed Gravel or 1" - 1 1/2" Crushed Gravel | Depth depends on load; deeper base for heavier vehicles. |
| Farm and site access road | 3/4" Crushed Gravel with a 1 1/2" layer below | Two lifts spread the load and reduce rutting. |
| Shed or slab pad | 3/8" Crushed Gravel over a 3/4" base | Fine surface layer allows a level finish for the slab. |
Spring thaw is the wet part of the year for driveways, and it is when a thin base shows up as ruts. Powell has about 187 days a year that drop below 32F, so the ground freezes deep and stays frozen for long stretches. That means your crushed gravel base needs to be thick enough to resist frost heave and keep the surface even through the winter.
The area gets about 13 inches of snowfall each year. Plowing can scrape a thin gravel layer and push it off the driveway, so a deeper base with a binder layer holds up better. The ground around Powell is in hydrologic group C, which means it takes water in slowly and sheds a fair amount across the surface. This calls for a deeper drainage layer under the crushed gravel to move water away from the base.
Deep ground freezing here means the base layer has to go deeper than in warmer climates to stay stable. Plan your excavation depth with that in mind, and consider ordering extra material for the drainage layer.
Crushed gravel is sold by the ton, so the first step is to figure out how many tons your project requires. The answer depends on the area you are covering and the depth of the layer. Use the material calculators on our site to enter your dimensions and get a tonnage estimate. That number will guide your order at checkout.
Ordering is done entirely online. You choose the crushed gravel size and the tonnage, and the delivery price shows up based on your ZIP code at checkout. Delivery comes by dump truck to your address in 1 to 40+ ton loads. Free delivery is available on qualifying orders.
Use the code FIRSTTIMER50 at checkout for $50 off your first order. The delivery date must be at least 3 business days after the order date, and you pick a morning window (7 am to 12 pm) or an afternoon window (12 pm to 5 pm). A valid phone number is required, and you must be present during the window.

The depth depends on the subgrade conditions and the weight of the vehicles. Our material calculators can help you estimate the tonnage needed for your specific project. A compacted base of crushed gravel is essential for stability.
The depth needed depends on the subgrade and the traffic the driveway will carry. Use the material calculators to estimate the tonnage. We recommend consulting a local contractor for site-specific advice.
