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








Crushed stone and crushed gravel are both angular materials, but the difference is the parent rock and the grading. Crushed gravel often comes from natural deposits and may contain more rounded pieces, while crushed stone is manufactured from solid rock and gives a more consistent gradation.
Lisbon gets about 42 inches of precipitation a year, so drainage and washout planning matter for any crushed stone project. The right base and surface choice can keep a driveway or patio stable through heavy rain.
Not every crushed stone size works for every job. The table below lists the sizes available from Gravel Monkey, what each is intended for, and a note on where it often goes wrong.
| Product | Use | Note |
|---|---|---|
| 3/8" Crushed Stone | Paver setting bed and tight fill | Too small for driveway base; it will shift under heavy loads. |
| 3/4" Crushed Stone | All-purpose size for base and drainage | Avoid using where a finer top surface is needed; it stays rough. |
| 1"-1 1/2" Crushed Stone | Heavy base and erosion control | Not suitable for walkways; the large gaps make it uncomfortable to walk on. |
| 2"-3" Crushed Stone | Rip rap style edging and deep fill | Overkill for a driveway top layer; use for structural fill instead. |
| #57 Crushed Stone | Concrete aggregate, French drains, driveway base | Do not use as a paver setting bed; the open grading will not compact. |
| #67 Stone | Concrete mix and drainage backfill | Too coarse for pipe bedding under small diameter pipes; use #8 Stone there. |
| #8 Stone | Paver joints and pipe bedding | Not meant for a base layer; it is a leveling or fill material. |
| #10 Rock Screenings | Leveling course under pavers | Will wash out quickly if used in standing water; pair with a drainage layer. |
Match the stone size to the surface type. The table below gives five common projects and the recommended product.
| Project | What to order | Depth or note |
|---|---|---|
| French drain | #57 Crushed Stone | Fill trench 12 inches deep around perforated pipe. |
| Concrete slab base | 3/4" Crushed Stone | Compact to 4 to 6 inches for a stable subgrade. |
| Paver bedding | 3/8" Crushed Stone or #10 Rock Screenings | 1 inch thick, screeded smooth. |
| Pipe backfill | #8 Stone or #67 Stone | Wrap pipe in 6 inches of stone for drainage. |
| Driveway base layer | 3/4" Crushed Stone or #57 Crushed Stone | Minimum 6 inches compacted, deeper for heavy traffic. |
Soils mapped in the Lisbon area are commonly moderately well drained. That means a base layer of crushed stone can be as thin as 4 inches on well-drained sites, but on heavier ground you will need more depth. The ground around Lisbon is in dual hydrologic group C/D: where it is drained it takes water in slowly and sheds a fair amount across the surface; where it is not, most rain runs across the surface. Drainage and a deeper base matter more here than elsewhere.
About 86 days a year bring at least a tenth of an inch of rain. Schedule your delivery onto firm ground to avoid rutting. With about 116 days a year below 32F, the work window for spreading and compacting crushed stone runs from mid-spring through late fall. Freeze and thaw cycles work on loose material all winter, which is the argument for the deeper first lift.
Snowfall averages about 28 inches a year. If the crushed stone surface is left loose, plowing can push material aside and create ruts. Compacting the top layer or topping with a finer aggregate helps reduce that.
Tonnage depends on the area, depth, and the specific stone size. A good rule of thumb is that one ton of 3/4" crushed stone covers roughly 100 square feet at 2 inches deep. Use our crushed stone calculator to get a precise estimate for your project.

Crushed stone works well as a base or drainage layer under several other materials. Pair it with one of these for a complete job.
The best time is between late spring and early fall, when the ground is dry and temperatures stay above freezing. About 116 days a year fall below 32F, which limits the spreading season. Ordering in April through October gives you the widest work window.
Yes. Soils mapped in the Lisbon area are commonly moderately well drained, but the hydrologic group is dual C/D. On well-drained sites a 4-inch base may be enough; on poorly drained spots you will need 6 inches or more. This is area guidance, not a site-specific recommendation.
