Buy Crushed Stone in Beaverton, Michigan

Crushed stone is often confused with crushed gravel. Both are angular, but the difference is in the parent rock and the grading. Crushed gravel comes from river deposits, while crushed stone is mechanically crushed from bedrock, giving it sharper edges that lock together better under load.

Beaverton gets about 34 inches of precipitation a year. That makes drainage planning critical when you choose a crushed stone size. A base that handles water keeps driveways and paths from turning to mush.

Crushed Stone Sizes for Sale in Beaverton

Not every crushed stone size fits every job. A size that is too small washes out under heavy rain, while one that is too large leaves voids that settle unevenly. Here are the crushed stone products available through Gravel Monkey in Beaverton.

Local Conditions That Affect Your Crushed Stone Job in Beaverton

Beaverton is a small community in Gladwin County. The county permitted about 90 single-family homes in 2024, so new driveways and foundations are going in regularly. Whether you are building fresh or refreshing an old surface, the local climate and soil change what you need.

Beaverton sees about 164 freezing days a year. That long freeze-thaw cycle means the ground moves, and a thin base will heave and crack. Plan for a deeper base than you might in warmer areas. Spring thaw is the wet part of the year for driveways, and it is when a thin base shows up as ruts. The county also gets about 53 inches of snowfall annually; plowing can tear up a loose gravel surface, so a well-compacted crushed stone base matters.

Soils mapped in the Beaverton area are commonly somewhat poorly drained. That means you need more base stone under the surface layer to keep water from softening the ground. The area is in dual hydrologic soil group C/D. Where the ground is drained it takes water in slowly, and where it is not it sheds most rain across the surface. Either way, drainage and a deeper base matter more here than in many other places.

Crushed stone is sold by the ton. To figure out how many tons, measure the length and width of the area, multiply by the depth you want in inches, then divide by the material's cubic yard per ton factor. Use our crushed stone calculator to get a number before you order.

Frequently Asked Questions About Crushed Stone in Beaverton

When is the best time of year to order crushed stone in Beaverton?

Spring thaw is the wettest period for driveways in Beaverton, and it is when a thin base shows up as ruts. Ordering after the ground firms up in late spring or early summer gives the base time to settle before winter freeze. Avoid ordering during the thaw if you can, because wet ground makes compaction harder.

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

Yes. Soils mapped in the Beaverton area are commonly somewhat poorly drained, and the area is in dual hydrologic soil group C/D. That means you need a thicker crushed stone base to keep water from softening the ground underneath. Count on an extra inch or two of base stone compared to a well-drained site.

Is there a discount on a first order?

Yes. Use code FIRSTTIMER50 at checkout to get $50 off your first order of crushed stone or any other material. The offer applies to your initial purchase only.

Do I need to be home when the truck arrives?

You or someone you nominate must be at the site during the delivery window. The driver needs a person to confirm where to dump the load. If no one is there, a missed delivery or redelivery fee can apply, and the order is not refunded.
