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








The best time to start a crushed stone project in Paola is in late spring, after the ground thaws and before the first freeze of fall. Freeze and thaw cycles shift the ground beneath an unstable base.
About 110 days a year drop below 32°F, which makes a well-compacted base layer critical for any stone surface that needs to stay level.
The most commonly ordered crushed stone size in Paola is 3/4-inch. It works as a base for driveways, concrete slabs, and drainage layers. Other sizes serve more specific uses.
| Product | Best Use | Note |
|---|---|---|
| 3/8" Crushed Stone | Paver setting bed and tight fill | Fine angular particles that compact well for a level surface under pavers. |
| 3/4" Crushed Stone | The all-purpose size for base and drainage | The go-to choice for most base layers; works under driveways and slabs. |
| 1"-1 1/2" Crushed Stone | Heavy base and erosion control | Larger stone that resists washing out on slopes and in wet areas. |
| 2"-3" Crushed Stone | Rip rap style edging and deep fill | Oversized stone for stabilizing banks or filling deep excavations. |
| #57 Crushed Stone | Concrete aggregate, French drains, driveway base | Clean, angular stone that drains freely and locks together well. |
| #67 Stone | Concrete mix and drainage backfill | Slightly smaller than #57; used in concrete and around pipes. |
| #8 Stone | Paver joints and pipe bedding | Small, clean stone that fills gaps and provides stable pipe support. |
| #10 Rock Screenings | Leveling course under pavers | Crushed fines that create a smooth, compacted surface for paver bases. |
Different projects need different stone sizes and depths. Use this table to match your job to the right product.
| Project | What to Order | Depth or Note |
|---|---|---|
| Driveway base layer | 3/4" Crushed Stone | Compact in lifts for a stable base that resists rutting. |
| Concrete slab base | 3/4" Crushed Stone | Provides uniform support and drainage under the slab. |
| Pipe backfill | #57 Crushed Stone | Washed stone allows water to drain freely around the pipe. |
| French drain | #57 Crushed Stone | Clean, angular stone prevents clogging and directs water flow. |
| Paver bedding | 3/8" Crushed Stone | Use as a leveling course under pavers; compact before laying. |
Paola gets about 40 inches of precipitation each year, which means drainage is a priority for any crushed stone surface. Water that stands under the stone can wash out fines and cause settling.
About 60 days a year bring at least a tenth of an inch of rain, so scheduling delivery onto firm ground avoids rutting and compaction issues. The soil mapped in the Paola area is commonly somewhat poorly drained, which adds to the need for a deeper base layer under surface stone.
The ground around Paola is in dual hydrologic group C/D. Where the soil is drained, it takes water in slowly; where it is not, water runs across the surface. Either way, a well-designed base with proper drainage matters more here. Freeze and thaw cycles work on loose material all winter, which is the argument for the deeper first lift.
To determine the tons of crushed stone for your project, measure the length, width, and intended depth in feet. Use our crushed stone calculator to convert those dimensions into tons based on the material's density. The calculator accounts for compaction and waste, giving you a reliable figure to order.

The amount depends on the area and depth. Use our crushed stone calculator for an estimate tailored to your project. For reference, Miami County permitted about 118 single-family homes in 2024, many of which used crushed stone for foundations and driveways.
