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








When you order crushed stone from Gravel Monkey, a dump truck delivers a single drop right where you mark the spot. You point to the location, and the driver places the load there.
Old Forge gets about 50 inches of precipitation a year. That much rain means drainage and washout planning matter with any stone surface. You want a base that handles the water flow.
Crushed stone is split between base material and finish material. Larger sizes handle load and drainage, and smaller sizes lock together for a stable surface. Here are the sizes Gravel Monkey delivers to Old Forge.
| Product | Best for | Note |
|---|---|---|
| 3/8" Crushed Stone | Paver setting bed and tight fill | Compacts well under pavers and slabs. |
| 3/4" Crushed Stone | The all-purpose size for base and drainage | Works under driveways and patios. |
| 1"-1 1/2" Crushed Stone | Heavy base and erosion control | Ideal for deep fill on soft ground. |
| 2"-3" Crushed Stone | Rip rap style edging and deep fill | Stays in place on slopes and channels. |
| #57 Crushed Stone | Concrete aggregate, French drains, driveway base | A graded clean stone that locks tight. |
| #67 Stone | Concrete mix and drainage backfill | Similar to #57 with slightly smaller pieces. |
| #8 Stone | Paver joints and pipe bedding | Fills narrow gaps and surrounds pipes. |
| #10 Rock Screenings | Leveling course under pavers | Screened fines create a smooth surface. |
Which crushed stone you need depends on whether you are building a budget surface or a long-term investment. The table below shows the right size for common jobs.
| Project | What to order | Depth or note |
|---|---|---|
| Paver bedding | 3/8" Crushed Stone | 1 inch firm base |
| Concrete slab base | 3/4" Crushed Stone | 4 to 6 inches compacted |
| French drain | #57 Crushed Stone | 2 to 3 inches around pipe |
| Pipe backfill | #8 Stone | 3 to 4 inches envelope |
| Driveway base layer | 3/4" Crushed Stone | 6 to 8 inches for heavy use |
Old Forge has about 181 freezing days a year, which means the ground freezes deep and stays frozen long. The base layer must be thick enough to resist movement during thaw.
Snowfall averages about 154 inches annually, so plowing can damage a loose surface. A stable top layer is important.
The ground around Old Forge is in dual hydrologic group B/D. Where it is drained, water soaks in at a moderate rate; where it is not, water runs across the surface. That means drainage planning matters more here than elsewhere. Ground that freezes deep moves as it thaws, which is why the base layer matters more here than the top layer.
Measure the area in square feet and the desired depth in inches. Enter those into the crushed stone calculator to get an estimated tonnage for your Old Forge address.
