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








Contractors have a different relationship with crushed stone than homeowners do. A builder knows the exact tonnage for a slab base, while a homeowner might be pricing a driveway for the first time. Rockmart gets about 52 inches of precipitation a year, so drainage planning matters for any exposed stone surface.
This guide lays out the sizes, the jobs they fit, and what to expect when you order by the ton from Gravel Monkey. The truck comes to your address, wherever that is in or near Rockmart.
The right size depends on what the stone needs to do. Small chips lock tight for pathways, large rock holds up against erosion. All eight options are available for delivery to your site.
| Product | Best Use | Note |
|---|---|---|
| 3/8" Crushed Stone | Paver setting bed, tight fill | Compacts well for a smooth, level surface under pavers. |
| 3/4" Crushed Stone | All-purpose base and drainage | Angular particles interlock, making it the go-to for driveways. |
| 1"-1 1/2" Crushed Stone | Heavy base, erosion control | Larger rock that stays in place under heavy loads or runoff. |
| 2"-3" Crushed Stone | Rip rap style edging, deep fill | Piled against slopes or used as a subbase for large structures. |
| #57 Crushed Stone | Concrete aggregate, French drains, driveway base | A clean, open-graded stone that drains freely. |
| #67 Stone | Concrete mix, drainage backfill | Slightly smaller than #57, often used where a tighter pack is needed. |
| #8 Stone | Paver joints, pipe bedding | Small, angular chips that lock into narrow spaces. |
| #10 Rock Screenings | Leveling course under pavers | Dust-like fines that screed flat for a stable base. |
Each job has a failure mode that the right size prevents. This table maps five typical projects to the product that handles the load.
| Project | What to Order | Depth or Note |
|---|---|---|
| Concrete slab base | #57 Crushed Stone | 4 to 6 inches, compacted, to support the slab. |
| Pipe backfill | #67 Stone | 6 inches around the pipe, no fines that hold water. |
| French drain | 3/4" Crushed Stone | 12 to 18 inches deep, wrapped in filter fabric. |
| Driveway base layer | 3/4" Crushed Stone | 4 to 6 inches, topped with a wearing course. |
| Paver bedding | 3/8" Crushed Stone | 1 inch of compacted screenings under the pavers. |
Rockmart's weather shapes when you can work and how the stone behaves after it is placed. About 78 days a year bring at least a tenth of an inch of rain, so scheduling the delivery onto firm ground matters. The ground here is well drained in the areas mapped around Rockmart, which means less base stone is needed under the surface layer than in heavy clay areas.
Soils in the Rockmart area are in hydrologic group B, meaning they take water in at a moderate rate. Standard base depths are usually enough to handle that. Work can run most of the year in this climate, which makes scheduling the delivery the easy part. Snowfall is near zero, so plowing damage to a loose surface is not a worry.
Freezing days happen about 68 days a year below 32F, but the ground freezing is not a significant factor here. That keeps the base layer depth simpler than in colder regions.
Tonnage depends on the area, the depth, and the stone's density. A rough rule is that a ton of crushed stone covers about 100 square feet at 2 inches deep. To calculate exactly, use our crushed stone calculator before you order. Overestimating by a small amount is better than running short because delivery is by the full ton.
Buying is simple: order online, choose your tonnage, and pick a delivery window. Price is quoted by ZIP at checkout with no hidden fees. Loads range from 1 to 40 tons in a standard dump truck, and free delivery applies on qualifying orders.
The delivery information page explains the full process, including the 3 business day lead time and the confirmation steps. Once you approve the load photo, the truck rolls. Use code FIRSTTIMER50 for $50 off a first order.

Crushed stone needs a partner for some jobs. Topsoil caps a base, and sand fills joints. These materials round out the project.
Yes. Gravel Monkey delivers crushed stone to Rockmart and addresses throughout Polk County and nearby towns. Rockmart gets about 52 inches of rain a year, so we coordinate the delivery window with the local weather to keep the site workable.
The tonnage depends on your square footage and depth. For example, a 10-by-10 foot area at 2 inches deep needs roughly 2 tons of crushed stone. About 78 wet days a year in Rockmart mean you should order a little extra to account for compaction settling.
No. Someone must be present at the delivery address during the chosen window. That person approves the load and directs the driver to the drop spot. If no one is there, a missed-delivery fee can apply.
Order at least 3 business days before you need the material. The delivery date and window are selected at checkout. Ordering earlier in the week often gives more slot options.
Pick your size, calculate the tonnage, and order online. The truck brings it straight to your address without you ever visiting a yard. The whole process is managed from your account.
