Buy Crushed Stone in Lewes, Delaware

Many people pick crushed stone by price alone and end up with a surface that washes or shifts. In Lewes, where the area gets about 47 inches of rain a year, choosing the right grade for drainage keeps your project stable.

Gravel Monkey delivers crushed stone by the ton straight to your address. You pick the size that fits the job, and the dump truck arrives on the day you choose.

Crushed Stone Sizes for Lewes Projects

Crushed stone splits into two groups: larger grades for a load-bearing base and finer grades for a compact surface. The table lists every size we carry, with a note on where each one works best.

Which Crushed Stone to Order for Common Jobs

For a short-term fix, a single layer of crushed stone works. For a permanent installation, a two-layer system of base stone topped with finer material lasts longer. The table below shows standard choices for Lewes homes.

How Lewes Weather and Soil Affect Your Crushed Stone Job

Lewes gets about 47 inches of precipitation a year, so washout is a real concern. Using a open-graded stone like #57 lets water pass through instead of pooling on the surface. With roughly 76 wet days a year, you want to schedule the delivery onto firm ground so the truck can drive to the drop spot without rutting.

About 79 days a year drop below 32 degrees Fahrenheit, which means the ground freezes and thaws repeatedly. That movement can unsettle a loose base, so compaction is worth the extra pass. Winters here are cold enough to move an unsettled base, so compaction is worth the extra pass. The area also sees about 13 inches of snow a year, and plowing can tear up a loose surface if the stone is not locked together.

Soils mapped in the Lewes area are commonly well drained, and the ground around town soaks water up quickly, producing little runoff. That means you may need less drainage stone under the surface layer than you would in a clay-soil region. These are general conditions, not a site-specific soil test.

Frequently Asked Questions about Crushed Stone in Lewes

When is the best time of year to order crushed stone in Lewes?

The best window is March through November, when the ground is not frozen. With about 79 days a year below 32 degrees Fahrenheit, ordering in the warmer months lets you compact the stone before frost sets in.

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

The smallest load is 1 ton. That amount covers roughly 100 square feet at 2 inches deep. Lewes sees about 13 inches of snow a year, so a single ton can handle patching potholes or adding traction after a storm.

How does delivery scheduling work after I order?

You choose a delivery window at checkout: morning, 7 am to 12 pm, or afternoon, 12 pm to 5 pm. You must be available or have someone at the site during that window. You get a confirmation email with the date, then a second email with the exact window and a photo of the load. Delivery only happens after you approve that second email.
