Crushed Stone ordered online by the ton. A dump truck delivers to your Hardy address and unloads right where you point.








Ordering crushed stone in Hardy by the ton is straightforward. You choose your size online, pick a delivery window, and a dump truck brings the material to your address. Hardy gets about 51 inches of precipitation a year, so drainage and washout planning are key when deciding where the stone goes.
The angular edges lock together under compaction, making crushed stone a stable base for driveways, patios and foundations. It is sold by weight, so the tonnage you need depends on depth and area.
Not every crushed stone size works for every job. Some are better for drainage, others for a smooth surface. Here is a guide to the sizes available for delivery in Hardy.
| Size | Best For | Note |
|---|---|---|
| 3/8" Crushed Stone | Paver setting bed and tight fill | Provides a level surface under pavers without shifting. |
| 3/4" Crushed Stone | All-purpose size for base and drainage | Versatile size for driveways, walkways and subbase layers. |
| 1"-1 1/2" Crushed Stone | Heavy base and erosion control | Larger aggregate for deep fills and slope stabilization. |
| 2"-3" Crushed Stone | Rip rap style edging and deep fill | Oversize stone for structural fill and drainage trenches. |
| #57 Crushed Stone | Concrete aggregate, French drains, driveway base | Clean, uniform stone that compacts well for vehicle loads. |
| #67 Stone | Concrete mix and drainage backfill | Slightly smaller than #57, good for pipe bedding. |
| #8 Stone | Paver joints and pipe bedding | Small, clean stone that fills gaps and allows water flow. |
| #10 Rock Screenings | Leveling course under pavers | Fine material that creates a smooth, compacted base. |
Select the right crushed stone size and depth for common jobs around your property.
| Project | What to Order | Depth or Note |
|---|---|---|
| Driveway base layer | 3/4" Crushed Stone | 4 to 6 inches, compacted in lifts. |
| Concrete slab base | #57 Crushed Stone | 4 to 6 inches for drainage under slab. |
| Paver bedding | 3/8" Crushed Stone | 1 inch deep, screeded level. |
| Pipe backfill | #8 Stone | 4 to 6 inches around pipe for drainage. |
| French drain | 1"-1 1/2" Crushed Stone | 6 to 8 inches deep for water flow. |
The ground around Hardy is in hydrologic soil group D, which means rainwater moves across the surface rather than soaking in quickly. This makes adequate drainage and a deeper base layer more important here than in areas with sandy soils.
Hardy sees about 98 days a year when temperatures drop below freezing. Freeze and thaw cycles work on loose material all winter, which is the argument for the deeper first lift. You will want the base well compacted before winter to minimize movement.
To figure out how many tons of crushed stone you need, measure the area in square feet, multiply by the depth in inches, then divide by about 12 to get cubic feet and convert to tons using the material's density. The specifics vary by stone size and compaction. Use our crushed stone calculator to get a precise number for your Hardy project.

Crushed stone works well with other aggregates for layered jobs.
Yes. Because the soil in this area takes water in very slowly, runoff is common. With about 73 wet days a year, you may need a deeper crushed stone base to handle drainage and prevent washout.
Delivery cost is determined by your ZIP code and shown at checkout. Ground freezing is moderate here, so base depth requirements do not change delivery pricing.
For vehicle loads such as a driveway, a compacted base of 4 to 6 inches is typical. For heavy traffic, 6 to 8 inches may be needed. Always compact in lifts.
Yes. Larger stone leaves more voids and does not compact as tightly. A mix of sizes, such as #57 Crushed Stone, locks together better than a single-size stone.
