Crushed Stone Sizes Available for Delivery in Benson
Each crushed stone size serves a different purpose. The table below shows what to use and what to avoid for common applications.
| Product | Best For | Note |
|---|---|---|
| 3/8" Crushed Stone | Paver setting bed and tight fill | Not for heavy traffic or base layers under vehicle loads. |
| 3/4" Crushed Stone | The all-purpose size for base and drainage | Not for decorative topcoat; too angular for a smooth surface. |
| 1"-1 1/2" Crushed Stone | Heavy base and erosion control | Not for walkways; the rough texture is uncomfortable underfoot. |
| 2"-3" Crushed Stone | Rip rap style edging and deep fill | Not for driveways; the pieces are too large to compact properly. |
| #57 Crushed Stone | Concrete aggregate, French drains, driveway base | Not for leveling; the open gaps mean it does not provide a flat bed. |
| #67 Stone | Concrete mix and drainage backfill | Not for under pavers; the size is larger than 3/8 inch. |
| #8 Stone | Paver joints and pipe bedding | Not for heavy base layers; the small size lacks load capacity. |
| #10 Rock Screenings | Leveling course under pavers | Not for drainage; the dust content holds water and can wash out. |

Benson Weather and Ground Conditions for Crushed Stone
Benson sees about 82 wet days per year, which means the ground can be soft. Order delivery when the site is firm enough for a dump truck. Frost is not the constraint here, so the calendar is driven by rain and by how wet the ground is.
Freezing days drop below 32F for about 76 days a year, but ground freezing is not a significant factor. Snowfall averages only about 2 inches, so plow damage to a loose surface is minimal. These conditions affect how deep the base layer needs to be.
Soils mapped in the Benson area are commonly well drained. The ground around Benson is in hydrologic group A, which soaks water up quickly and produces little runoff. That means less drainage stone is needed under the surface layer compared to areas with heavy clay. This is area guidance; your own soil may vary.
Estimating Your Crushed Stone Tonnage
Measure the length, width, and depth of the area in feet. Multiply to get cubic feet, then divide by 27 for cubic yards. Crushed stone weighs about 1.4 tons per cubic yard. Use our crushed stone calculator to get a precise tonnage for your delivery.
