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








Crushed stone comes in several sizes in Shawnee, and the size you choose changes how the material behaves on your project. Smaller stones pack tight for leveling, while larger ones stay put under heavy loads and resist washout.
Shawnee gets about 41 inches of precipitation a year, so drainage and washout planning matter when picking a size. A well-graded base can handle the wet weather better than an open-graded one.
The 3/4" Crushed Stone is the go-to size for all-purpose base and drainage work in Shawnee. For other jobs, the table below shows the right product and its best use.
| Product | Use | Note |
|---|---|---|
| 3/8" Crushed Stone | Paver setting bed and tight fill | Fine grade for compacting under pavers |
| 3/4" Crushed Stone | The all-purpose size for base and drainage | Versatile for driveways, patios, and backfill |
| 1"-1 1/2" Crushed Stone | Heavy base and erosion control | Larger aggregate for deep fills and slopes |
| 2"-3" Crushed Stone | Rip rap style edging and deep fill | Stays in place under fast-moving water |
| #57 Crushed Stone | Concrete aggregate, French drains, driveway base | Clean, open-graded for good drainage |
| #67 Stone | Concrete mix and drainage backfill | Slightly larger than #57, excellent drainage |
| #8 Stone | Paver joints and pipe bedding | Small, clean stone for tight spaces |
| #10 Rock Screenings | Leveling course under pavers | Fine dust and chips for a smooth base |
The table below matches typical Shawnee projects with the recommended crushed stone product and a starting depth.

| Pipe backfill | #57 Crushed Stone | 6 to 12 inches around pipe |
| Concrete slab base | 3/4" Crushed Stone | 4 to 6 inches |

Shawnee sees about 62 days a year with at least a tenth of an inch of rain, so scheduling delivery onto firm ground matters. Wet soil can rut under a truck if the ground is soft. About 101 days a year drop below 32F, which limits the work window and causes ground movement that can shift a loose base.
Snowfall runs about 14 inches a year, and plowing can damage a loose surface if it has not been compacted. Ground freezing here is real but moderate, so the base layer needs to be deep enough to stay stable. Freeze and thaw cycles work on loose material all winter, which is the argument for the deeper first lift.
The ground around Shawnee is in hydrologic group D, which means it takes water in very slowly. Most rain runs across the surface, so drainage and a deeper base matter more here than elsewhere.
