ShopCrushed Stone in Oceanside
A driveway or patio project often calls for 10 to 20 tons of crushed stone. Oceanside gets about 13 inches of rain a year, so drainage and washout planning matter when you order.
Crushed stone is angular rock that locks together under weight. It works for bases, backfill, and surface layers. Gravel Monkey delivers it by the dump truck to your Oceanside address.

Local Conditions That Affect Your Crushed Stone Project
San Diego County permitted about 3,377 single-family homes in 2024. New construction in Oceanside means many properties need fresh driveways and patios. But the ground here requires attention.
Oceanside soils are commonly moderately well drained. That means you may need more base stone under the surface layer than on sandy soil. To complicate things, the ground around Oceanside is in hydrologic group D, so it takes water in very slowly. Most rain runs across the surface instead. That makes drainage and a deeper base matter more here than elsewhere.
Plan the delivery around dry ground: a truck needs a firm surface to reach the drop point. With only about 21 days a year that bring at least a tenth of an inch of rain, scheduling is usually straightforward. About 1 day a year drops below freezing, so the work window is nearly year-round and the ground moves very little.
How Much Crushed Stone You Need
Start with the area and the desired depth. Multiply length by width by depth in feet, then divide by 27 to get cubic yards. A cubic yard of crushed stone weighs roughly 1.4 tons. Use our crushed stone calculator to go from dimensions to tons in seconds.
