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








Ordering crushed stone from Gravel Monkey is simple. A dump truck arrives at your address and drops the load where you mark the spot. You never need to visit a yard or pick up material yourself.
Denver gets about 47 inches of precipitation a year, so drainage and washout planning matter when placing crushed stone. Scheduling the delivery onto firm, dry ground helps the truck access the site and keeps the stone in place.
The range of crushed stone sizes splits into base material and finish material. Larger sizes provide load support and drainage. Smaller sizes create a tight, stable surface. Choose the size that matches your job.
| Product | Best for | Note |
|---|---|---|
| 3/8" Crushed Stone | Paver setting bed and tight fill | Forms a compact surface for walkways and under pavers. |
| 3/4" Crushed Stone | The all-purpose size for base and drainage | Works under driveways, patios, and in French drains. |
| 1"-1 1/2" Crushed Stone | Heavy base and erosion control | Interlocks well for load support on unstable ground. |
| 2"-3" Crushed Stone | Rip rap style edging and deep fill | Holds against water flow and fills large voids. |
| #57 Crushed Stone | Concrete aggregate, French drains, driveway base | A clean, angular stone that drains well. |
| #67 Stone | Concrete mix and drainage backfill | Slightly smaller than #57 with good drainage. |
| #8 Stone | Paver joints and pipe bedding | Small enough to fill narrow gaps around pipes. |
| #10 Rock Screenings | Leveling course under pavers | Fines create a smooth, compacted base. |
For a long-lasting result, choose the right size. The table compares budget-friendly options and those that give the longest service life for typical projects.
| Project | What to order | Depth or note |
|---|---|---|
| Pipe backfill | #8 Stone or #67 Stone | Wraps the pipe to allow drainage and prevent settling. |
| Concrete slab base | 3/4" Crushed Stone | Compacted layer under concrete to prevent cracking. |
| Paver bedding | #10 Rock Screenings or 3/8" Crushed Stone | Leveling course that locks pavers in place. |
| French drain | #57 Crushed Stone | Clean, open-graded stone for water flow. |
| Driveway base layer | 3/4" Crushed Stone | Provides load support and drainage for vehicles. |
Frost is not the constraint here, so the calendar is driven by rain and by how wet the ground is. About 73 days a year bring at least a tenth of an inch of rain. Scheduling the delivery onto firm, dry ground is important because a wet site can make the truck access difficult and slow the job.
Soils mapped in the Denver area are commonly well drained. That means you may need less base stone under the surface layer compared to poorly drained soils. The ground around Denver is in hydrologic group B, which takes water in at a moderate rate, so standard base depth is usually enough. These are area guidelines, not a substitute for testing your own soil.
About 76 days a year drop below 32F, which can reduce your work window in winter. Snowfall averages about 4 inches a year, so plowing damage to a loose crushed stone surface is a minor concern.
Use the crushed stone calculator to enter your project dimensions and get a tonnage estimate. The calculator accounts for the depth of the layer and the density of the stone.

Yes, because soils mapped in the Denver area are commonly well drained. That means you may need less base stone under the surface layer compared to clay-heavy soils. Always check your own site conditions, but this area guidance suggests a standard base depth is usually adequate.

The depth depends on the load and the subgrade. For vehicle loads, a thicker base is usually needed than for pedestrian areas. Gravel Monkey can help you determine the right depth for your project.
3/4" Crushed Stone is a popular all-purpose size for base and drainage applications. The right size depends on the specific use, such as driveway base versus paver bedding.
