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








Ordering crushed stone by the ton for a project in Florence means paying for the material, the truck and the distance from the supplier. Gravel Monkey shows the delivered price at checkout, so you see the total before you commit.
Florence gets about 15 inches of precipitation a year, which makes drainage and washout a regular concern. Crushed stone handles moisture without rutting, making it a stable choice for driveways and bases.
Each crushed stone size suits a different job. The table below lists the options, what each is for, and one limitation to keep in mind.
| Product | Best use | Note |
|---|---|---|
| 3/8" Crushed Stone | Paver setting bed and tight fill | Too small for load-bearing base layers. |
| 3/4" Crushed Stone | The all-purpose size for base and drainage | Hard to walk on barefoot, fine for vehicle areas. |
| 1"-1 1/2" Crushed Stone | Heavy base and erosion control | Not suitable for walking paths or patios. |
| 2"-3" Crushed Stone | Rip rap style edging and deep fill | Overkill for thin surface layers and small areas. |
| #57 Crushed Stone | Concrete aggregate, French drains, driveway base | Does not compact as tightly as a mix with fines. |
| #67 Stone | Concrete mix and drainage backfill | Less uniform than #57, may need more compaction. |
| #8 Stone | Paver joints and pipe bedding | Washes out easily if not contained by a border. |
| #10 Rock Screenings | Leveling course under pavers | Dusty when dry, can become muddy if left exposed. |
Match the stone size to the job at hand. The table below shows five typical uses and the products that work best for each.
| Project | What to order | Depth or note |
|---|---|---|
| Driveway base layer | 3/4" Crushed Stone or #57 Crushed Stone | 4 to 6 inches compacted |
| Concrete slab base | #57 Crushed Stone or #67 Stone | 4 to 6 inches, well compacted |
| French drain | #57 Crushed Stone or 3/4" Crushed Stone | 12 to 18 inches around the pipe |
| Pipe backfill | #8 Stone or 3/8" Crushed Stone | Free-draining, no compaction needed |
| Paver bedding | #10 Rock Screenings or 3/8" Crushed Stone | 1 to 2 inches, screeded level |
Florence has about 44 wet days a year, which means the ground is often soft. Scheduling the delivery onto firm ground helps avoid ruts and compaction issues.
The area sees about 165 freezing days per year. That long freeze-thaw cycle shortens the work window and can shift a poorly compacted base. Ground that freezes deep moves as it thaws, which is why the base layer matters more here than the top layer. Soils mapped in the Florence area are commonly excessively drained, so less base stone is needed under the surface layer to control moisture.
Snowfall averages about 43 inches annually. Plowing a loose crushed stone surface can push the stone aside and create ruts. Using a larger top size like 3/4 inch or #57 helps the surface stay in place under the blade. The ground around Florence soaks water up quickly, which means less drainage stone is required under the surface compared to areas with clay soils.
Volume drives the cost, but crushed stone is sold by the ton, not the cubic yard. Use our crushed stone calculator to convert your length, width and depth into the tonnage you need. The calculator accounts for compaction and stone density, giving you a number you can order directly.

Crushed stone often works as a base or drainage layer. The materials below complement it for a complete job.
Late spring through early fall, after the ground thaws and before the first deep freeze, is the most reliable window. Florence has about 165 freezing days a year, so the ground is often frozen or muddy outside that period.
Yes. Soils mapped in the Florence area are commonly excessively drained, which means they let water pass quickly. That can reduce the amount of base stone needed under the surface layer to manage moisture. But the soil at your specific site should be verified before you order.
