Buy Crushed Stone in Fontana, California

Fontana is part of San Bernardino County, a growing area where the county permitted about 3,617 single-family homes in 2024. Many of those new construction projects need crushed stone for stable base layers, drainage, and concrete work.

For new driveways or patios, crushed stone provides an angular aggregate that locks together. This page covers the sizes available and how to choose the right one for your job.

Crushed Stone Sizes for Projects in Fontana

Crushed stone comes in several sizes for specific uses. From fine screenings to large rip rap, the right choice depends on the job.

Choosing Crushed Stone for Common Fontana Jobs

Different projects need different crushed stone sizes. Here is a quick guide for common tasks.

Local Conditions That Affect Your Crushed Stone Project

Fontana gets about 17 inches of precipitation a year, so drainage and washout planning matters for any stone surface. With about 19 wet days a year, scheduling delivery onto firm ground is easier to manage. Winters here are cold enough to move an unsettled base, so compaction is worth the extra pass.

Only about 2 days a year drop below freezing, but that still affects the work window and how much the ground moves. Ground freezing here is real but moderate, which influences how deep the base layer needs to be. Soils mapped in the Fontana area are commonly somewhat excessively drained, so more or less base stone may be needed under the surface layer depending on your specific site.

The ground around Fontana is in hydrologic group A, which means it soaks water up quickly and produces little runoff. That behavior means less drainage stone is needed under the surface compared to areas with slower drainage.

How Much Crushed Stone You Need

Estimate the amount by measuring the area and depth. Multiply length by width by depth in feet, then divide by 27 to get cubic yards. Use our crushed stone calculator to get a precise estimate for your project.
