Buy Crushed Stone in Eagle, Colorado

The common mistake with crushed stone is picking one size for everything. Base layers need a different rock than the surface does, and the wrong choice can mean settling or poor drainage. Eagle gets about 20 inches of precipitation a year, which makes drainage planning a key part of any project.

Knowing which crushed stone goes where saves time and keeps the job from needing rework. The table below lays out the sizes available and what each does best.

Crushed Stone Sizes We Deliver to Eagle

The split between a base material and a finish material is simple. Larger stone handles weight and water. Smaller stone locks together for a smooth surface. Choose a size that fits the layer you are building.

Which Crushed Stone to Use for Common Jobs

Budget often means using a less expensive grade for the base and a cleaner stone on top. The table below matches five projects with the right product and a typical depth.

How Eagle's Weather and Soil Affect Your Crushed Stone Job

Eagle sees about 124 wet days a year, which means the ground is often soft when you need to schedule a delivery. Ordering for a dry stretch keeps the truck from sinking and gives the stone a firm base to sit on.

The area gets roughly 131 inches of snow annually. Plowing that snow can push loose stone around, so a compacted top layer or a larger size like 3/4" Crushed Stone holds up better through winter maintenance. About 212 days a year drop below freezing, and the frost line goes deep. Ground that freezes deep moves as it thaws, which is why the base layer matters more here than the top layer.

The soil around Eagle takes water in slowly, so a fair amount of rainfall runs across the surface instead of soaking in. A deeper drainage layer under patios or driveways earns its place by moving that water away from the stone and the subgrade.

Figuring Out How Much Crushed Stone You Need

Volume is measured in cubic yards, and we sell by the ton. A simple way to estimate is to multiply the length by the width by the depth in feet and divide by 27. The result is cubic yards, then you can use our crushed stone calculator to convert that into tons for the size you picked.

Frequently Asked Questions About Crushed Stone in Eagle

What is the smallest load of crushed stone you deliver to Eagle?

The minimum delivery is 1 ton. That amount fills about half a cubic yard, which is enough for a small paver project or a narrow French drain. Larger loads often get better pricing per ton at checkout.

Does the soil around Eagle change how much crushed stone I need?

Yes. The ground in this area is mapped as hydrologic group C, which means it takes water in slowly and sheds runoff across the surface. That behavior calls for a deeper drainage layer, which can add half a foot or more of crushed stone under patios and driveways to keep water from pooling.

What size crushed stone should I choose?

Start by deciding if the stone is for a base or a surface. For a base under concrete or asphalt, use 3/4" Crushed Stone or #57 Crushed Stone. For a surface that stays loose but stable, 3/8" Crushed Stone or 3/4" Crushed Stone works well. Larger sizes like 1"-1 1/2" are for erosion control or heavy fill.

Do you deliver to rural addresses outside the city limits?

We deliver to addresses throughout Eagle County and the surrounding area. The delivery price at checkout covers your specific location. If access is narrow or unpaved, let us know during checkout so we can plan the route.
