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








The Maumee River region sees about 37 inches of precipitation a year, so drainage and washout planning matter for any ground job. Crushed stone lets water pass while holding its position, which makes it a smart base for driveways, patios, and drainage beds.
Whether you are building a new driveway or improving an existing one, the right crushed stone size and grade keep the surface stable. Delivered straight to your address in Defiance, you get the tonnage you need without multiple trips.
For general base and drainage work, 3/4" crushed stone is the most commonly ordered size. The table below lists all the options you can have brought to your site.
| Product | Use | Note |
|---|---|---|
| 3/8" Crushed Stone | paver setting bed and tight fill | Compacts well for a smooth, stable base under interlocking pavers. |
| 3/4" Crushed Stone | the all-purpose size for base and drainage | The go-to size for driveways, backfill, and drainage layers. |
| 1"-1 1/2" Crushed Stone | heavy base and erosion control | Handles heavy loads and resists washout in steep areas. |
| 2"-3" Crushed Stone | rip rap style edging and deep fill | Large aggregate for erosion control and structural fill in wet ground. |
| #57 Crushed Stone | concrete aggregate, French drains, driveway base | Clean, open-graded stone that drains well and locks under traffic. |
| #67 Stone | concrete mix and drainage backfill | Slightly smaller than #57, good for concrete and pipe bedding. |
| #8 Stone | paver joints and pipe bedding | Small, clean stone that fills paver joints and surrounds utility pipes. |
| #10 Rock Screenings | leveling course under pavers | Dust and fines create a smooth, compactable surface for paver bases. |

Defiance sees about 127 freezing days a year, which means the ground goes through repeated freeze-thaw cycles. An unstable base can heave and settle, cracking pavement or shifting pavers. Using angular crushed stone that locks together reduces that movement.
Snowfall averages about 24 inches annually, and plowing can scrape or displace a loose surface. A well-compacted base of the right crushed stone grade holds up under the blade. Ground freezing here is deep and long, so the base layer needs enough depth to stay below the frost line.
Hard freezes shape the calendar here, so base work is easier to get right from late spring through fall. Planning your project around the weather window saves rework later.
To estimate how many tons you need, measure the length and width of the area and decide on the depth. Use our crushed stone calculator to turn those numbers into a tonnage figure, then order exactly that amount.
