Crushed Stone ordered online by the ton. A dump truck delivers to your Hamilton address and unloads right where you point.








Crushed stone and crushed gravel are both angular, but they differ in parent rock and grading. Many buyers use the terms interchangeably, yet each suits different applications. For Hamilton projects, the distinction matters because about 52 inches of precipitation a year demands materials that drain well and resist washout. The right stone reduces washout and extends the life of your project.
Gravel Monkey delivers bulk crushed stone by the dump truck direct to your Hamilton address. We carry seven graded sizes, from fine screenings to heavy rip rap, each designed for a specific job. This page covers what to order and how to estimate tonnage for your site.
Each size of crushed stone has a best-use. The wrong size can lead to settlement, poor drainage, or extra work. For example, 3/8-inch stone makes an excellent paver setting bed but is too small for a driveway base. The larger 2-to-3-inch stone works for rip rap but not for a concrete slab.
| Product | Best For | Note |
|---|---|---|
| 3/8" Crushed Stone | Paver setting bed and tight fill | Too small for driveways; use for paver setting beds. |
| 3/4" Crushed Stone | All-purpose size for base and drainage | Not for erosion control; versatile for many projects. |
| 1"-1 1/2" Crushed Stone | Heavy base and erosion control | Too large for paver bedding or concrete aggregate. |
| 2"-3" Crushed Stone | Rip rap style edging and deep fill | Not for compacted base layers or walkways. |
| #57 Crushed Stone | Concrete aggregate, French drains, driveway base | Standard for drainage, not for leveling courses. |
| #67 Stone | Concrete mix and drainage backfill | Smaller than #57, good for backfill around pipes. |
| #8 Stone | Paver joints and pipe bedding | Not for load-bearing base; use for fine spaces. |
| #10 Rock Screenings | Leveling course under pavers | Not for drainage; use only for final grading. |
The table below matches common project types to the right crushed stone size. Each row gives a recommended product and the typical depth or note for that job. For example, a paver patio needs a different stone than a French drain. Use these guidelines to order the correct grade.
| Project | What to Order | Depth or Note |
|---|---|---|
| Paver bedding | 3/8" Crushed Stone | 1 inch; use as setting bed over compacted base. |
| Concrete slab base | #57 Crushed Stone | 4 to 6 inches; compact in lifts for stability. |
| French drain | #57 Crushed Stone | Fill trench; washed stone drains best. |
| Driveway base layer | 3/4" Crushed Stone | 4 to 6 inches; compact with a vibratory roller. |
| Pipe backfill | #8 Stone | Encapsulate pipe; avoid fines to prevent blockage. |
Crushed stone performance depends on the ground it sits on and the weather it faces. Soils mapped in the Hamilton area are commonly well drained, which means you may need less base stone under the surface layer compared to clay-heavy areas. The ground around Hamilton takes in water at a moderate rate, so standard base depth is usually enough. Harris County permitted about 189 single-family homes in 2024, so new construction often requires crushed stone for foundations and driveways.
Rainfall is a bigger factor than cold. Hamilton gets about 52 inches of precipitation a year, and about 72 days bring at least a tenth of an inch. That amount of wet weather means you need to plan for drainage and washout. Scheduling the delivery onto firm ground becomes important to avoid rutting.
Freezing temperatures happen about 46 days a year below 32F, but frost here is not a significant factor. The ground does not freeze enough to require extra depth. Snowfall is about 0 inches a year, so plowing damage is not a concern. Frost is not the constraint here, so the calendar is driven by rain and by how wet the ground is.
To calculate tons, multiply length, width and depth in feet, then divide by the factor for your stone size. Our crushed stone calculator does this for you. Enter dimensions to get an estimate that accounts for compaction. For a driveway base, plan on 4 to 6 inches of depth. Order all you need at once to avoid color variation between loads.
