1.5" Crushed Gravel

About 1.5" Crushed Gravel

1.5" Crushed Gravel is a gravel material in the 1.5" size range with a typical density of 2750 lbs per cubic yard. General-purpose graded aggregate sized for the project, whether that's driveway dressing, fill, or a base layer.

A typical residential order is 3-8 tons; full-load contractor orders run 16-24 tons. We deliver in tandem-axle dump trucks (10-16 ton capacity) or tri-axles (16-24 ton capacity). Pricing varies with regional quarry proximity, load size, and current diesel; full-load delivery typically saves 15-20% over partial loads.

Best uses for 1.5" Crushed Gravel

Where we source 1.5" Crushed Gravel

We source 1.5" Crushed Gravel from local quarries within the delivery region, typically inside a 50-mile radius. Short hauls mean lower delivery cost for you and a smaller diesel footprint per ton.

Every load is weighed at the source and the ticket travels with the truck, so you get exact tonnage, not estimates. Quality varies by quarry; we work with operators whose product meets state DOT spec for the applications we recommend.

Why bulk delivery saves money

Bagged retail at the big-box rack runs roughly three times the per-ton cost of a truck delivery, and that is before you load, unload, and dispose of dozens of plastic bags. At our delivered range of $43 to $61 per ton, a 5 ton homeowner order saves hundreds versus the bagged equivalent at typical retail. A residential project usually runs 3 to 8 tons, which fits one tandem-axle truck and one drop. Contractors stepping up to 16 tons or more unlock our full-truck rate, which is generally 15 to 20 percent below the partial-load price. Bulk also wins on time: one delivery beats 20 trips to the rack, and the driver places the load where you want it instead of a parking-lot pallet.
