Buy Crushed Stone in Colorado

Contractors tend to order crushed stone by the truckload for a known job, while homeowners often start with a project and work backward to the material. Gravel Monkey delivers crushed stone across Colorado by the ton, so you pay for the weight you need, not the bag. The same sizes are available whether you need one ton for a paver patio or twenty tons for a commercial base.

Every order comes with a delivered price calculated at checkout for your ZIP code. You pick the size and the tonnage, and a dump truck brings the stone to your address.

Which Crushed Stone to Use for Common Projects in Colorado

Colorado Conditions and How They Affect Your Crushed Stone Order

Annual precipitation across the cities we deliver to in Colorado runs from about 12 to 21 inches. The lower end means dry, dusty conditions where a compacted base holds well, while the higher end calls for good drainage to keep the stone from settling. Freezing days range from about 154 to 232 days a year below 32F, depending on where in the state. Most of the state sits in the severe band for ground freezing, so a base that is too thin will heave and rut during spring thaw.

Spring thaw is the wet part of the year for driveways, and it is when a thin base shows up as ruts. The dominant soil groups across the served cities are hydrologic groups C and B, which means moderate to moderately slow infiltration. This makes proper base depth critical: a 4-inch compacted layer of 3/4" crushed stone is a starting point, but heavier loads or wetter soil may need 6 inches or more to avoid shifting.

How Much Crushed Stone You Need for Your Job

Crushed stone is sold by the ton, so weight is what matters. A cubic yard of 3/4" crushed stone weighs about 1.3 tons, but the exact density varies with the stone type and moisture. Measure the length and width of the area, multiply by the depth in feet, then divide by 27 to get cubic yards. Convert to tons using the crushed stone calculator on our site, which does the math for you.

Frequently Asked Questions About Buying Crushed Stone in Colorado

Do seasonal road restrictions in Colorado affect delivery?

Some Colorado counties impose spring load restrictions on certain roads to protect thawing pavement. Gravel Monkey notes this can affect access for heavy trucks. If your delivery address is on a restricted road, the crew unloads as close as they safely can. You can check local restrictions with your county highway department.

What conditions across Colorado should change what I order?

With 154 to 232 freezing days per year and severe ground frost across most of the state, a base that is too thin will heave and rut in spring. If your soil is in hydrologic group C or B, which is common in the cities we serve, the moderate infiltration means a 4-inch compacted base is the minimum for light traffic. Heavier loads or wetter locations should go thicker.

How is crushed stone measured and sold?

Crushed stone is sold by the ton, not by the cubic yard. The weight per cubic yard varies by stone size and moisture content. Use our crushed stone calculator to convert your project dimensions into tons before ordering.

Is there a first-order discount?

Yes, use the code FIRSTTIMER50 at checkout to get $50 off your first order. The code applies once per customer.
