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








Whether you are laying a paver patio or building a driveway base, the right crushed stone makes the job easier. Sylvester gets about 50 inches of precipitation a year, so drainage and washout planning are critical when choosing your aggregate. A well-drained base prevents shifting and helps your surface last.
We stock 3/4" Crushed Stone for general base work and #57 Crushed Stone for concrete aggregate and French drains. Both sizes handle water well and compact to a firm layer. Compare them against rounded gravel if you need less movement over time.
The choice between a base material and a finish layer depends on what you are building. Smaller stone works for tight fills and leveling, while larger stone adds strength under heavy loads. Every product below is sold by the ton and delivered in a dump truck.
| Product | Best for | Note |
|---|---|---|
| 3/8" Crushed Stone | Paver setting bed and tight fill | Compacts into a smooth, dense layer for patios and walkways. |
| 3/4" Crushed Stone | All-purpose size for base and drainage | Versatile for driveways, parking areas, and under slabs. |
| 1"-1 1/2" Crushed Stone | Heavy base and erosion control | Stays in place under heavy equipment and in high-flow drainage. |
| 2"-3" Crushed Stone | Rip rap style edging and deep fill | Large rock for slope stabilization and deep base reinforcement. |
| #57 Crushed Stone | Concrete aggregate, French drains, driveway base | Clean, angular mix with good void space for water flow. |
| #67 Stone | Concrete mix and drainage backfill | Slightly smaller than #57, works well in tight trench backfill. |
| #8 Stone | Paver joints and pipe bedding | Small diameter locks into place for fine bedding layers. |
| #10 Rock Screenings | Leveling course under pavers | Fines and small particles create a smooth, compactable surface. |
A common mistake is ordering a single size for the whole job. A budget option uses #57 for everything, but a long-term approach layers a larger base stone under a finer surface. The table below matches common projects with the right crushed stone.
| Project | What to order | Depth or note |
|---|---|---|
| Pipe backfill | #57 Crushed Stone | 12-inch depth around pipe, compacted in lifts |
| Paver bedding | 3/8" Crushed Stone | 1-inch compacted layer under pavers |
| Concrete slab base | 3/4" Crushed Stone | 4 to 6 inch compacted base |
| Driveway base layer | 3/4" Crushed Stone or #57 | 6 to 8 inch depth for standard driveways |
| French drain | #57 Crushed Stone | Fill trench with washed stone, no fines |
Sylvester sees about 30 freezing days a year, and ground freezing is not a significant factor here. A shallow base can still hold up because frost heave is rare. The wet side matters more: 71 days a year bring measurable rain, so schedule your delivery onto firm ground to keep the truck from sinking.
Soils mapped in the Sylvester area are commonly well drained, which means you may need less base stone under the surface layer than in clay-heavy regions. The ground around Sylvester is in hydrologic group B, so it takes water in at a moderate rate and standard base depth is usually enough. Work can run most of the year in this climate, which makes scheduling the delivery the easy part.
Estimating tonnage starts with the length, width, and desired depth of your project area. Multiply the square footage by the depth in feet to get cubic feet, then divide by 27 for cubic yards. A general rule is one ton of crushed stone covers about 100 square feet at 2 inches deep, but the exact number depends on the stone size and compaction. Use our crushed stone calculator for a precise estimate based on your dimensions.

Crushed stone often works with other aggregates for a complete job. Consider these options for the layers above or around your stone.
The smallest load is one ton. One ton of crushed stone covers roughly 100 square feet at 2 inches deep. You order by the ton online, and the dump truck brings that amount straight to your address. Combine a small load with another material if you need more variety without hitting the minimum for two separate deliveries.
Soils mapped in the Sylvester area are commonly well drained, so you may not need extra base stone compared to clay soils. The ground takes water in at a moderate rate, which means standard base depths usually work. Always check the project type and planned use, because a driveway needs more depth than a paver path.
The size depends on the job. For base layers under slabs or driveways, 3/4" or #57 works well. For drainage and French drains, #57 or 3/4" with washed stone is ideal. Paver beds need 3/8" stone for a level setting course. Larger stone like 1"-1 1/2" is for heavy base and erosion control. Match the size to the function and the expected load.
