Crushed Stone Sizes for Delaware Jobs

Crushed stone splits into two camps: base materials that compact and drain well, and finish materials that lock together for a walking surface. Delaware buyers typically need a base layer first, then a finer top course. The table below lists every size we offer.

Choosing a Base Material or a Finish Layer for Your Project

A budget base often uses 3/4" crushed stone, while a long-term driveway uses #57 stone for drainage and compaction. For a paver patio, start with a base of 3/4" stone and top with 3/8" or screenings. The table below shows five common projects and what to order.

What the Climate and Soil in Delaware Mean for Crushed Stone

Across the cities we deliver to in Delaware, annual precipitation runs from about 47 to 48 inches. That much water means drainage matters: open-graded stone like #57 or 3/4" crushed stone helps water move away from structures. Freezing days range from about 79 to 96 days a year below 32F, and most of the state sits in the moderate band for ground freezing. Winters here are cold enough to move an unsettled base, so compaction is worth the extra pass. The dominant soil hydrologic groups in the served cities are A and B, which drain fairly well, but a base depth of 4 to 6 inches of compacted stone is still the standard for keeping pavers and slabs level through freeze-thaw cycles.

How Much Crushed Stone You Need for Your Project

Frequently Asked Questions About Crushed Stone in Delaware

Do seasonal road restrictions in Delaware affect delivery?

Yes, Delaware has a spring load-restriction program that can limit truck weights on certain roads during thaw periods. Gravel Monkey schedules deliveries to work around those restrictions where possible. You will be notified if your delivery is affected.

What conditions across Delaware should change what I order?

The range of freezing days from about 79 to 96 days a year means frost heave is a real risk without proper base depth. Annual precipitation between 47 and 48 inches also makes drainage a priority, so open-graded stone like #57 is a common choice. Your specific project site may need a deeper base in wetter areas.

Is there a first-order discount?

Yes, new customers can use code FIRSTTIMER50 at checkout to save $50 on their first order. The code applies to any crushed stone order of qualifying size.

How is crushed stone measured and sold?

Crushed stone is sold by the ton. The tonnage is calculated from the cubic yards needed, using the specific gravity of the stone. When you use our calculator, it converts your area and depth into tons for you.
