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








Crushed stone looks similar to crushed gravel but comes from a different parent rock and has a distinct grading. Choosing the right one matters for performance and cost. Blue Springs gets about 44 inches of precipitation a year, so drainage planning is important from the start.
Gravel Monkey delivers bulk crushed stone by the ton to residential and commercial sites around Jackson County. You order online and a dump truck brings it to your address on a day you choose.
Not every crushed stone product works for every job. Some have larger gaps and let water pass quickly, while others pack tight for a stable surface. The table below lists the sizes Gravel Monkey can source for your delivery.
| Product | Best Use | Note |
|---|---|---|
| 3/8" Crushed Stone | Paver setting bed and tight fill | Too small for high-traffic gravel surfaces; settles under compaction. |
| 3/4" Crushed Stone | The all-purpose size for base and drainage | Not ideal as a final wearing surface for driveways without binder. |
| 1"-1 1/2" Crushed Stone | Heavy base and erosion control | Too coarse for walkways or under patios without finer material. |
| 2"-3" Crushed Stone | Rip rap style edging and deep fill | Not suitable for compacted base layers; leaves large voids. |
| #57 Crushed Stone | Concrete aggregate, French drains, driveway base | Does not lock together as well as a dense-graded product for final courses. |
| #67 Stone | Concrete mix and drainage backfill | Finer than #57 but still lacks fines for a tight surface. |
| #8 Stone | Paver joints and pipe bedding | Too small to build up significant base thickness alone. |
| #10 Rock Screenings | Leveling course under pavers | Does not drain freely; use only as a thin screed layer. |
The table below maps typical surface types to the crushed stone size that fits each job. Use it as a starting point before checking your project's depth and tonnage.
| Project | What to Order | Depth or Note |
|---|---|---|
| Pipe backfill | #57 Crushed Stone | 6 to 12 inches around pipe, compacted in lifts |
| Paver bedding | 3/8" Crushed Stone | 1 inch after compaction |
| Concrete slab base | 3/4" Crushed Stone | 4 to 6 inches, tamped in two lifts |
| Driveway base layer | #57 Crushed Stone | 6 to 8 inches, compacted, then a surface layer |
| French drain | 1"-1 1/2" Crushed Stone | Fill 12 inches around perforated pipe |
About 63 days a year bring at least a tenth of an inch of rain. Scheduling a delivery onto firm ground matters because a wet base compacts unevenly. The ground here drops below freezing roughly 106 days a year, which limits the work window and influences how much frost can lift a base layer.
Snowfall runs about 12 inches a year. Plowing a loose crushed stone surface can push material aside, so plan on topping up the surface layer in spring. Frost depth is moderate, but the base layer needs to sit below the freeze line to stay stable.
Soils mapped around the Blue Springs area are commonly somewhat poorly drained. This area guidance suggests more base stone under the surface layer to prevent pumping. The ground falls into hydrologic group C, meaning it absorbs water slowly and sheds a fair amount across the surface. A deeper drainage layer earns its place under heavier uses. Freeze and thaw cycles work on loose material all winter, which is the argument for the deeper first lift.
To find the right tonnage, measure the length and width of the area in feet and decide on the depth. Multiply length by width by depth in feet, divide by the cubic feet per ton for the specific product, and you get the approximate tons. Gravel Monkey's crushed stone calculator does these steps for you based on the product and dimensions.
You order online by selecting the product and quantity in tons. Delivery pricing is calculated at checkout based on your ZIP code. A dump truck brings 1 to 40+ tons directly to your address. Qualifying orders may include free delivery, and first-time customers can use code FIRSTTIMER50 for $50 off.
The delivery date must be at least 3 business days after the order date. You choose a morning window (7 am to 12 pm) or an afternoon window (12 pm to 5 pm) at checkout. A valid phone number is required, and you must approve a confirmation email with the scheduled window and a loading photo before the delivery proceeds. Someone must be on site during the window. For more details, see the delivery information page. Learn more about Gravel Monkey and check customer reviews for feedback from previous buyers.
Spring and fall offer the most stable ground for compaction. With about 106 freezing days a year, winter deliveries can be tricky because frozen ground does not compact properly and a loose surface can shift with freeze-thaw cycles. Order early enough to complete the work before the ground freezes.
Yes. Soils in the area are somewhat poorly drained, which means water can sit under the surface and weaken a thin base. You may need an extra 2 to 4 inches of drainage stone or a thicker sub-base than you would on sandy ground. The county soil behavior means water sheds across the surface, so a deeper crushed stone drainage layer helps keep the structure dry.
You pick a date at checkout that is at least 3 business days out. Choose a morning or afternoon window. Gravel Monkey sends a confirmation email, then a second email with the scheduled window and a photo of the material being loaded. You must approve that email to confirm the delivery. Someone capable of receiving the truck needs to be on site during the window.
The price is calculated at checkout based on the product you select, the quantity in tons, and the delivery ZIP code. The total includes the material and delivery. No additional fees are added after you place the order as long as the delivery is completed as scheduled.
Two of the most common crushed stone jobs in Blue Springs are driveway base and French drains. Each requires the right size and depth to perform. Order your crushed stone online from Gravel Monkey's Blue Springs page and have it delivered to your site on a day that works for you.
