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








Buying crushed stone in Natchitoches is straightforward: order online by the ton, choose a delivery window at checkout, and a dump truck brings the load to your address. Loads run from one ton to more than forty, so the same system works for a paver patio or a commercial base.
Crushed stone handles driveways, base layers, and drainage. Natchitoches gets about 56 inches of precipitation a year, so planning for drainage and washout matters when you pick a product and depth.
Each crushed stone size has a specific job, and not every size suits every application. The table below lists what each product is for and where it falls short.
| Product | Best Use | Note |
|---|---|---|
| 3/8" Crushed Stone | Paver setting bed and tight fill | Not for heavy base or deep fill; too small for drainage layers. |
| 3/4" Crushed Stone | All-purpose size for base and drainage | Versatile, but not ideal for decorative surface or rip rap. |
| 1"-1 1/2" Crushed Stone | Heavy base and erosion control | Too large for paver bedding or concrete aggregate. |
| 2"-3" Crushed Stone | Rip rap style edging and deep fill | Not for surfacing; requires a smaller base layer below. |
| #57 Crushed Stone | Concrete aggregate, French drains, driveway base | Does not compact tightly; avoid for final wearing surface. |
| #67 Stone | Concrete mix and drainage backfill | Smaller than #57 but still leaves voids; not for leveling. |
| #8 Stone | Paver joints and pipe bedding | Too small for structural base or heavy traffic areas. |
| #10 Rock Screenings | Leveling course under pavers | Not for drainage or as a standalone surface; dust content is high. |
Selecting the right product depends on the job. The table below gives quick recommendations for typical applications.
| Project | What to Order | Depth or Note |
|---|---|---|
| French drain | #57 Crushed Stone | 12 to 18 inches around the pipe; clean, angular stone keeps water flowing. |
| Paver bedding | 3/8" Crushed Stone | 1 to 1.5 inches; compact evenly for a stable base. |
| Driveway base layer | 3/4" Crushed Stone | 4 to 6 inches before the surface layer; use larger stone for poor subgrade. |
| Concrete slab base | #57 Crushed Stone | 4 to 6 inches; compact to prevent settling. |
| Pipe backfill | #67 Stone | 6 to 12 inches around the pipe; provides void space for drainage. |
Natchitoches sees about 29 freezing days a year. The freeze-thaw cycle can heave an unstable base, so a properly compacted crushed stone layer is important. About 70 days a year bring at least a tenth of an inch of rain. Scheduling delivery onto firm ground avoids rutting and compaction problems.
Soils mapped in the Natchitoches area are commonly well drained, which may reduce the amount of base stone needed under a surface layer. The ground around Natchitoches takes water in at a moderate rate, so a standard base depth is usually enough. Frost is not the constraint here, so the calendar is driven by rain and by how wet the ground is.
Estimating tonnage starts with area and depth. Use the crushed stone calculator to get a rough figure based on your dimensions. The calculator accounts for the material's density and compaction.
