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








Whether you are building a driveway base or a paver patio, the right crushed stone makes a difference. In Richmond, 3/4" Crushed Stone works for most base layers, while #57 Crushed Stone is a common choice for drainage and concrete work.
Richmond gets about 42 inches of precipitation a year. That means drainage and washout planning should be part of any job that uses crushed stone.
Crushed stone splits into two broad groups: base materials that provide stability and finish materials that lock together for a clean surface. The size you pick depends on the load it needs to carry and the water it needs to shed.
| Product | Best for | Note |
|---|---|---|
| 3/8" Crushed Stone | Paver setting bed and tight fill | Small enough to level under pavers, yet angular enough to lock. |
| 3/4" Crushed Stone | The all-purpose size for base and drainage | Workhorse material for driveways, paths, and French drains. |
| 1"-1 1/2" Crushed Stone | Heavy base and erosion control | Larger stone that holds up under significant weight and runoff. |
| 2"-3" Crushed Stone | Rip rap style edging and deep fill | Used where a very stable, open base is needed. |
| #57 Crushed Stone | Concrete aggregate, French drains, driveway base | Clean, open-graded stone that drains well and compacts. |
| #67 Stone | Concrete mix and drainage backfill | Slightly smaller than #57, often used in concrete and pipe bedding. |
| #8 Stone | Paver joints and pipe bedding | Small, clean stone that fills joints and settles around pipes. |
| #10 Rock Screenings | Leveling course under pavers | Fines that screed flat for a smooth paver base. |
Every job has a standard approach and a more durable long-term option. The table below shows the typical product for each project, with a note on how to upgrade the base.
| Project | What to order | Depth or note |
|---|---|---|
| French drain | #57 Crushed Stone | 8 to 12 inches around the pipe; consider 3/4" Crushed Stone for a tighter pack if needed. |
| Pipe backfill | 3/4" Crushed Stone | 6 to 8 inches minimum; #57 can improve drainage around the pipe. |
| Driveway base layer | 3/4" Crushed Stone | 4 to 6 inches for light vehicles; use 1"-1 1/2" for heavy truck traffic. |
| Concrete slab base | #57 Crushed Stone | 4 to 6 inches compacted; #67 works too for a finer grade. |
| Paver bedding | 3/8" Crushed Stone | 1 inch thick after compacting; top with #10 Screenings for leveling. |
Richmond has about 118 freezing days a year, which means an unsettled base can shift as the ground freezes and thaws. That freeze-thaw cycle makes proper compaction critical.
The ground around Richmond is in hydrologic group C, meaning it takes water in slowly and sheds a fair amount across the surface. A deeper drainage layer of crushed stone earns its place here, because surface runoff needs a path away from the base.
Winters here are cold enough to move an unsettled base, so compaction is worth the extra pass. About 14 inches of snow a year can also mean plowing, which can loosen a surface that is not well compacted.
To figure out how many tons to order, measure the length and width of the area and multiply by the planned depth. Then use our crushed stone calculator to convert cubic feet to tons. The calculator adjusts for each stone size so you get a reliable estimate.

Crushed stone often works with a top layer or a complementary material. These options are available for delivery to Richmond.
The best time is late spring through early fall, when the ground is not frozen. Richmond has about 118 freezing days a year, and a fresh crushed stone base needs dry, stable conditions to compact properly.
The smallest load is 1 ton. Because Richmond gets about 42 inches of precipitation a year, ordering enough material for the whole job in one delivery helps avoid delays from wet weather.
You choose a delivery date at checkout that is at least 3 business days later. Then you pick a window: 7 am to 12 pm or 12 pm to 5 pm. Gravel Monkey sends an email confirmation, then a second email closer to the date with the scheduled window and a photo of the material being loaded. Delivery goes ahead only once you approve that second email.
The site needs a road width of at least 12 feet for the truck. If access is restricted, the crew unloads as close to the requested spot as they safely can. You or your nominated person must be present during the delivery window.
