Order crushed stone online in Bardstown, Kentucky, by the ton and get it delivered to your address. Gravel Monkey makes it simple to buy the right size for your job without a trip to a yard. Bardstown gets about 52 inches of precipitation each year, so planning for drainage is a key part of any crushed stone project.
Whether you need a base for a driveway, fill for a French drain, or a leveling course for pavers, the selection at Gravel Monkey covers the common sizes. You choose the material, enter your address at checkout, and the delivered price is calculated for your ZIP code.
Each crushed stone size has a job where it works well, but also one where it does not. Fine screenings pack tight but wash out in a heavy flow. Large rip rap holds a slope but makes a poor base for a shed. Here are the options you can order for Bardstown addresses.
| Product | Best use | Note |
|---|---|---|
| 3/8" Crushed Stone | Paver setting bed and tight fill | Too small for a base layer under heavy traffic. |
| 3/4" Crushed Stone | The all-purpose size for base and drainage | Will not compact as tightly as a graded mix. |
| 1"-1 1/2" Crushed Stone | Heavy base and erosion control | Too large for a smooth walking surface. |
| 2"-3" Crushed Stone | Rip rap style edging and deep fill | Not suitable for a paver base due to gaps. |
| #57 Crushed Stone | Concrete aggregate, French drains, driveway base | Does not lock together like a dense-graded material. |
| #67 Stone | Concrete mix and drainage backfill | Similar to #57 but with a slightly smaller top size. |
| #8 Stone | Paver joints and pipe bedding | Will shift if used as a base under weight. |
| #10 Rock Screenings | Leveling course under pavers | Drains slowly; not for wet areas. |
For the projects that come up most often on properties around Bardstown, here is what to order and how deep to place it.

Bardstown sees about 92 days a year where the temperature drops below freezing. That freeze and thaw cycle works on loose material all winter, which is the argument for the deeper first lift. A thicker base gives the ground room to move underneath without heaving the surface.
The ground around Bardstown is in hydrologic group C, which means it takes water in slowly and sheds a fair amount across the surface. That behavior makes a deeper drainage layer earn its place under driveways and patios. With about 79 days a year that bring at least a tenth of an inch of rain, scheduling the delivery onto firm ground matters. A wet yard can delay the truck placement or rut the surface.
Snowfall here averages about 4 inches a year, but plowing a driveway that has a loose crushed stone surface can displace material. A well-compacted base with angular stone holds up better to the blade. Nelson County permitted about 181 single-family homes in 2024, many of which will need a stone base for driveways, walkways, and drainage.
Tonnage is based on the area, the depth, and the specific gravity of the stone. Use the crushed stone calculator on the Gravel Monkey site to convert your square footage and desired depth into the right tonnage to order. No need to guess the math.

Crushed stone often works alongside other bulk materials. Here are the ones you might order from Gravel Monkey for a complete project.
The best time is early spring or late summer when the ground is firm and dry. With about 92 freezing days each winter, the ground can be soft during the thaw. Ordering in dry weather helps avoid ruts from the delivery truck.
Yes, because the soil around Bardstown is in hydrologic group C and takes water in slowly. That means more surface runoff, so a deeper drainage layer of crushed stone is often required to keep water away from foundations or pavers. The exact thickness depends on your project area and the amount of runoff expected.

You get an email confirmation, then a second email closer to the date with the scheduled window and a photo of the material being loaded. Delivery goes ahead only once you approve that second email.
