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








Building a driveway or a patio in Currituck means picking the right crushed stone. The 3/4" Crushed Stone works as a compactable base, while #57 Crushed Stone makes a stable top layer for drainage and finish.
Currituck gets about 51 inches of precipitation a year, so the material you choose has to handle water moving through it without washing out.
Crushed stone splits into base materials that support weight and finish materials that stay in place. The table below lists every size we stock, what each is for, and a note on its best use.
| Product | Best use | Note |
|---|---|---|
| 3/8" Crushed Stone | Paver setting bed and tight fill | Small enough to level under pavers without shifting. |
| 3/4" Crushed Stone | The all-purpose size for base and drainage | Holds up under driveways and sheds water well. |
| 1"-1 1/2" Crushed Stone | Heavy base and erosion control | Large enough to stay put in ditches and under heavy loads. |
| 2"-3" Crushed Stone | Rip rap style edging and deep fill | Loose interlocking stone for steep slopes or large voids. |
| #57 Crushed Stone | Concrete aggregate, French drains, driveway base | Clean, open-graded stone that lets water pass freely. |
| #67 Stone | Concrete mix and drainage backfill | Slightly smaller than #57, often used in retaining wall backfill. |
| #8 Stone | Paver joints and pipe bedding | Tiny angular chips that lock under pavers and around pipes. |
| #10 Rock Screenings | Leveling course under pavers | Dust-and-chip mix that screeds flat for a paver base. |
A budget-friendly approach uses a larger base layer topped with a finer stone, while a long-term job invests in a thicker base and a clean surface stone. The table below matches each project with a recommended size and depth.
| Project | What to order | Depth or note |
|---|---|---|
| Driveway base layer | 3/4" Crushed Stone | 4 to 6 inches compacted in lifts |
| Concrete slab base | #57 Crushed Stone | 4 inches minimum for drainage under concrete |
| Paver bedding | 3/8" Crushed Stone | 1 to 2 inches screeded flat |
| French drain | #57 Crushed Stone | Fill trench around perforated pipe |
| Pipe backfill | #67 Stone | 12 inches around utility lines for free drainage |
About 79 days a year bring at least a tenth of an inch of rain. Scheduling the delivery onto firm ground keeps the truck from rutting your yard. The ground around Currituck is in hydrologic group C, which means it takes water in slowly and sheds a fair amount across the surface. That makes a deeper drainage layer worth the extra tonnage.
About 52 days a year drop below 32F, and the ground freezing here is not a significant factor, so you do not need extra depth for frost heave. What matters is how the stone handles water. Currituck gets about 3 inches of snowfall a year, enough that plowing can disturb a loose surface if the top layer is not locked in. Soils mapped in the Currituck area are commonly moderately well drained, which means you may need more base stone under the surface layer than a site with fast-draining sand.
Without a hard freeze to lift the surface, drainage and washout are what decide how long the material lasts.
To figure out the tonnage for your project, measure the length and width in feet and the depth in inches, then use the crushed stone calculator on our site. It converts square footage and depth into tons so you order the right amount the first time.

The smallest load we deliver is 1 ton. For smaller amounts, consider combining your order with someone else nearby or check if a nearby city like Moyock or Corolla can be served from the same truck. Currituck County permitted about 429 single-family homes in 2024, which means new construction sites often order full truckloads of base stone.
Soils mapped in the Currituck area are commonly moderately well drained, which means you may need a thicker base layer under the surface stone than you would on fast-draining sand. The ground here is in hydrologic group C and takes water in slowly, so a deeper drainage layer of #57 Crushed Stone helps keep the surface stable.
The size number refers to the diameter of the stone. Smaller stones like 3/8" and #8 pack tightly, while larger sizes like 2" to 3" leave more space between pieces for water flow. The job determines which size works best: fine stone for paver joints, coarse stone for base layers and drainage.
Smaller crushed stone with angular edges compacts into a dense, locked-together surface. Larger stone with bigger voids compacts much less because the pieces do not nest as closely. For a solid base, use a well-graded product like 3/4" Crushed Stone that contains both large and small particles.
