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








Crushed stone is often confused with crushed gravel. Both are angular, but crushed stone comes from quarried rock, not from natural gravel deposits. The grading and parent rock differ, which affects compaction and drainage performance for projects like driveways and paver bases.
Gravel Monkey delivers crushed stone across Kentucky by the ton. You order online, choose a delivery window, and a dump truck brings the material to your address. Pricing is calculated by ZIP code at checkout, and loads range from 1 to 40-plus tons.
Not every crushed stone size works for every job. The table below lists the products we deliver, what each is used for, and a key limitation to consider.
| Product | Best for | Note |
|---|---|---|
| 3/8" Crushed Stone | Paver setting bed and tight fill | Not suitable for heavy-traffic base layers; its small size limits load-bearing capacity. |
| 3/4" Crushed Stone | The all-purpose size for base and drainage | Avoid for thin leveling courses where 3/8 inch is better suited. |
| 1"-1 1/2" Crushed Stone | Heavy base and erosion control | Not ideal for walkways because of the larger, uneven pieces. |
| 2"-3" Crushed Stone | Rip rap style edging and deep fill | Too large for most residential base work under slabs. |
| #57 Crushed Stone | Concrete aggregate, French drains, driveway base | Not for use as a final wearing surface on driveways. |
| #67 Stone | Concrete mix and drainage backfill | Rarely used in place of #57 for base layers due to different gradation. |
| #8 Stone | Paver joints and pipe bedding | Not suitable as a base material because it lacks fines for compaction. |
| #10 Rock Screenings | Leveling course under pavers | Not recommended for drainage applications due to high fines content. |
The type of project determines which crushed stone size and depth you need. Use this table as a starting point for common applications.
| Project | What to order | Depth or note |
|---|---|---|
| French drain | #57 Crushed Stone | Place around perforated pipe; depth adjusted to trench. |
| Paver bedding | 3/8" Crushed Stone | Screed to uniform thickness. |
| Concrete slab base | #57 Crushed Stone | Compact in lifts; depth per design. |
| Driveway base layer | 3/4" Crushed Stone | Build in two lifts for stability under heavy vehicles. |
| Pipe backfill | #8 Stone | Encases pipe; depth varies with pipe diameter. |
Across the Kentucky cities we deliver to, annual precipitation runs from about 46 to 53 inches. That much rainfall means the base under a driveway or patio needs proper drainage to avoid washout and settlement. Coarse crushed stone like #57 or 3/4 inch allows water to pass through rather than pool.
The number of freezing days varies from about 82 to 110 days a year below 32F, depending on location. Most of the state sits in the moderate band for ground freezing. Freeze and thaw cycles work on loose material all winter, which is the argument for the deeper first lift. A stable, compacted base of crushed stone resists the shifting that repeated freezing causes.
The most common hydrologic soil groups across the served cities are B and C. These soils drain moderately to slowly, so a thicker crushed stone base than on sandy soils is often needed to distribute load and prevent rutting.
Gravel Monkey delivers crushed stone to homes and job sites throughout the state. The cities below are among the most common delivery locations we serve.

Crushed stone is sold by the ton, not by the cubic yard. The weight per cubic foot depends on the size and density of the stone. To convert your project dimensions into tons, try our crushed stone calculator. It factors in the material type and compaction needs.

Across Kentucky, rainfall ranges from 46 to 53 inches annually, and freezing days range from 82 to 110. These conditions can affect the base depth and drainage requirements for your project. Order a coarser crushed stone for areas with heavy rain and consider a deeper first lift in regions with more freeze-thaw cycles.
The moderate ground freezing across Kentucky can lead to seasonal road restrictions during spring thaw. These restrictions can affect dump-truck delivery schedules. Gravel Monkey coordinates with haulers to avoid delays where possible.
Crushed stone is available in sizes from 3/8 inch to 2-3 inch, plus graded products like #57, #67, #8, and #10 screenings. Each size serves a different purpose, from paver bedding to heavy base layers.
