How Local Conditions Affect Your Crushed Stone Job

Dillon gets about 31 days a year with at least a tenth of an inch of rain. That makes scheduling straightforward, but you still want to deliver onto firm, dry ground to avoid rutting from the truck. With about 206 days a year below freezing, hard freezes shape the calendar here, so base work is easier to get right from late spring through fall. The ground freezes deep and long, which means the base layer under a driveway or structure needs extra depth to resist frost heave.

Soils mapped in the Dillon area are commonly well drained. That is a benefit because water moves through them quickly. The ground around Dillon is in hydrologic group B, which means it takes water in at a moderate rate. Standard base depths are usually enough for most jobs, but you still need a proper foundation for heavy loads. The deep frost and well-drained soil mean your crushed stone base should be thick enough to stay stable through freeze-thaw cycles.

How Much Crushed Stone You Need

To estimate the tons you need, measure the length and width of your area in feet and decide on a depth in inches. Use the crushed stone calculator to get a tonnage number based on those dimensions. That number tells you how many tons to order at checkout.

The delivery date must be at least 3 business days after the order date. You choose a window: morning, 7 am to 12 pm, or afternoon, 12 pm to 5 pm. A valid phone number is required to confirm the delivery. You get an email confirmation when you order, then a second email closer to the date with the scheduled window and a photo of the material being loaded. Delivery only happens after you approve that second email. You or someone you nominate must be at the site during the window.

The site needs a road width of at least 12 feet for the truck. If access is tight, the crew unloads as close to your requested spot as they safely can. If the delivery fails due to blocked access, hazards, or nobody being there, a missed delivery fee may apply and the order is not refunded. Learn more on the delivery information page.

Other Materials for the Same Job

Crushed stone often goes together with other aggregates. Below are materials you might order in the same trip, plus a note on how they pair. Crushed stone versus crushed gravel: both are angular, the difference is the parent rock and the grading.

• Crushed Gravel - A cheaper alternative for driveways and base layers that still locks together.
• Driveway Gravel - A blend of crushed stone and fines that creates a smooth, compacted driving surface.
• Crushed Concrete - Recycled material that works as a base or fill where crushed stone is overkill.
• Gravel & Rock - Rounded gravel for decorative areas or where drainage is less critical.
• Walkway Gravel - Smaller, tighter gravel for paths that need a stable, walkable surface.
• Fill Dirt - For raising grade before you put down crushed stone on top.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does the ground in Dillon freeze hard enough to change when I should order?

Yes. The ground freezes deep and long here, with about 206 days a year below 32F. That means the ground can be frozen solid for months, so you should plan deliveries for late spring through fall when base work is easier.

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

Soils mapped in the Dillon area are commonly well drained and take water in at a moderate rate. That means standard base depths are usually enough, but you still need a proper foundation for driveways and heavy loads.

Does the stone size change how well it compacts?

Yes. Smaller sizes like 3/8" and 3/4" compact tighter than larger ones. Larger stones create more voids and need more effort to lock together.

Which size is the most common choice for this material?

The 3/4" Crushed Stone is the most common size. It works for base layers, drainage, and driveways. Many contractors start here.
