Buy Crushed Stone in Lexington Park, Maryland

Crushed stone comes in a dump truck. You mark the drop spot, and the driver places the load in one pile. No yard to visit, no bagged stone to handle.

Lexington Park gets about 47 inches of precipitation a year. That means drainage matters under any crushed stone surface, so planning water flow is part of the job.

Crushed Stone Sizes for Lexington Park Projects

Crushed stone splits into base material and finish material. Base sizes like 3/4 inch and #57 provide stable layers. Finer sizes like 3/8 inch and screenings level surfaces for pavers. Each size has a specific job.

Matching Stone Size to Your Project

Choosing between a budget and a long-term option often comes down to depth and compaction. The table below shows typical recommendations for common jobs using the sizes above.

Local Conditions That Affect Your Crushed Stone Job

About 77 days a year bring at least a tenth of an inch of rain. That many wet days means the ground stays moist, so a deeper, well-drained base is important. Around 69 days a year drop below freezing. Winters are cold enough to move an unsettled base, so compaction is worth the extra pass.

Snowfall averages about 14 inches a year. Plowing can disturb a loose surface, so compacting the top layer helps. Soils mapped in the Lexington Park area are commonly poorly drained. The ground is in dual hydrologic group B/D: where drained, water soaks in at a moderate rate; where not drained, most water runs across the surface. Drainage and a deeper base matter more here than in many other places. St. Mary's County permitted about 265 single-family homes in 2024, a sign of ongoing construction that demands reliable base materials.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does the soil around Lexington Park change how much crushed stone I need?

Yes. Soils mapped in the Lexington Park area are commonly poorly drained. That means you may need a deeper base of crushed stone to keep water from undermining the surface. The ground is in dual hydrologic group B/D, so drainage depends on whether the soil is already improved. Plan for extra base depth.

How much does crushed stone delivery cost in Lexington Park?

Delivery cost is calculated at checkout based on your ZIP code and the tonnage you order. Orders must be placed at least 3 business days in advance. You choose a morning or afternoon window. Use code FIRSTTIMER50 for $50 off your first order.

Does the stone size change how well it compacts?

Yes. Angular, well-graded stone with a mix of particle sizes compacts better than a single-size product. Sizes like 3/4 inch crushed stone and #57 lock together under compaction. A uniform size like #8 stone does not compact as tightly and is better for drainage or bedding.

How deep should the layer be for a job that carries vehicles?

For driveways that carry passenger cars, a compacted layer of 4 to 6 inches of crushed stone is typical. For heavier vehicles, 6 to 8 inches is common. The final depth depends on the base soil and the expected load. Compacting each lift as you build gives the best result.
