Buy Crushed Stone in Glendive, Montana

The delivered price for crushed stone depends on the material itself, the distance from the source, and the size of the load. Glendive gets about 15 inches of precipitation a year, so drainage and washout planning are part of any base that stays stable.

Choose the Right Crushed Stone Size for Your Glendive Job

Match the Crushed Stone to Your Project Type

Each project needs a specific size and depth. This table pairs common jobs with the right product and a typical depth guide.

How Glendive's Climate and Soil Affect Your Crushed Stone Base

Glendive sees about 176 freezing days a year, where temperatures drop below 32F. That repeated freeze-thaw cycle can heave an unstable base, so the crushed stone layer must be deep enough to resist movement. The frost depth is deep and long here, meaning the base needs to reach below the frost line or be thick enough to handle the shifting.

Snowfall averages about 24 inches a year. Plowing a driveway on a loose crushed stone surface can push the stone aside and create ruts. Using a compacted base course with a tight top layer reduces that damage. Hard freezes shape the calendar here, so base work is easier to get right from late spring through fall.

The ground around Glendive is in hydrologic group C, which means it takes water in slowly and sheds a fair amount across the surface. A deeper drainage layer of crushed stone earns its place by moving water away from the base before it can saturate the soil underneath. Without that layer, water pooling can weaken the support under a driveway or patio.

Estimate How Much Crushed Stone You Need

To find the tonnage for your project, measure the length and width in feet and the planned depth in inches. Multiply those numbers and divide by the cubic feet per ton for the specific stone size. Use the crushed stone calculator to get a quick estimate based on your dimensions and chosen product.

Frequently Asked Questions About Crushed Stone in Glendive

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

Yes. The soil in the Glendive area is in hydrologic group C, which means it takes water in slowly and sheds a fair amount across the surface. This behavior means a deeper crushed stone drainage layer is often needed to keep water from pooling under your base.

How much does crushed stone delivery cost in Glendive?

Delivery cost is calculated by ZIP code at checkout. No two addresses have the same price because distance and availability vary. First-time customers can use the code FIRSTTIMER50 for $50 off a first order of any material.

How deep should the layer be for a job that carries vehicles?

The depth depends on the vehicle weight and the subgrade. For a residential driveway, a compacted layer of 4 to 6 inches of crushed stone is a common starting point. Because ground freezing here is deep and long, a deeper base may be needed to prevent frost heave.

Does the stone size change how well it compacts?

Yes. Smaller stones, such as 3/8" crushed stone or screenings, have more surface contact and compact into a dense, tight surface. Larger stones like 2" to 3" interlock but leave voids, so they resist compaction and are better for drainage than for a load-bearing surface.
