Buy Crushed Stone in Iowa

Crushed stone is ordered by the ton at Gravel Monkey for delivery across Iowa. You pick the size online, and a dump truck delivers it to your address. The total price is calculated at checkout based on your ZIP code and the tonnage.

Eight crushed stone sizes are available, from 3/8-inch screenings to 2 to 3 inch rip rap. Each one suits a different job, from paver bedding to heavy base layers. Choosing the right size matters for drainage, load bearing, and how often you need to maintain the surface.

Crushed Stone Sizes for Iowa Delivery

None of the crushed stone sizes sold here works for every job. Each one has a clear use and a limit that matters on site. A 3/8-inch crushed stone makes a good paver setting bed, but it will not work as a base layer for a driveway. The larger sizes handle heavy loads but are not meant for fine grading or joint fill.

Match Your Project to the Right Crushed Stone in Iowa

Match your project surface type to the right crushed stone size. A French drain needs open-graded stone that lets water pass through, while a driveway base requires a compactable, angular product.

Iowa Climate and Ground Conditions for Crushed Stone

Across the Iowa cities Gravel Monkey delivers to, annual precipitation runs from about 32 to 39 inches. That range means drainage is a factor for any base or subbase job, especially in low-lying areas. The ground freezes for roughly 130 to 160 days a year below 32 degrees Fahrenheit, putting crushed stone base depth into play for driveway and slab work. Most of the state sits in the severe band for ground freezing, which reinforces the need for adequate base thickness.

Hydrologic soil groups C and C/D are the most common across served cities. Those groups drain slowly, so a thicker crushed stone base is often needed to keep water away from the surface layer. That matters for both rural lanes and in-town lots where drainage is tighter. Hard freezes shape the calendar here, so base work is easier to get right from late spring through fall.

How Much Crushed Stone You Need

Tonnage depends on the area, the depth, and the crushed stone size. A 4-inch base of 3/4-inch crushed stone on a 10-foot by 20-foot slab needs roughly 2.5 tons, but every job is different. Use the crushed stone calculator to enter your dimensions and get a tonnage estimate. That figure then goes into checkout to produce a delivered price based on your ZIP code. Loads from 1 to over 40 tons can be ordered.
