Buy Crushed Stone in London, Ohio

If you are building a driveway or a patio base, you need a material that drains well and compacts firmly. Crushed stone in sizes like 3/4" Crushed Stone and #57 Crushed Stone provides that stability. London gets about 42 inches of precipitation a year, so drainage matters here.

Crushed stone is angular rock that locks together under pressure, creating a strong base. The right size and depth prevent washout and keep your surface level for years.

Crushed Stone Sizes and Their Uses in London

Crushed stone divides into two groups: smaller sizes for finish surfaces and larger sizes for base layers. Fine stone like 3/8" Crushed Stone works as a leveling bed for pavers, while bigger stone like 2"-3" Crushed Stone handles heavy loads under deep fill. The following table lists every crushed stone product we deliver to London.

How London's Climate and Soil Affect a Crushed Stone Job

London sees about 79 days a year with at least a tenth of an inch of rain. That means the job site can stay soft for days after a storm, so schedule the delivery onto firm ground. The county averages 20 inches of snowfall each winter, and plowing can damage a loose crushed stone surface if the stone is not compacted well.

About 121 days a year drop below 32F, which freezes the ground to a moderate depth. Freeze-thaw cycles can push an unsettled base out of shape, so compaction matters. Winters here are cold enough to move an unsettled base, so compaction is worth the extra pass.

Soils mapped in the London area are commonly somewhat poorly drained. This area guidance means you may need a thicker base of crushed stone under the surface layer to handle water. The ground around London is in dual hydrologic group C/D. Where the soil is drained, it takes water in slowly and sheds a fair amount across the surface. Where it is not drained, water runs off almost completely. Drainage and a deeper base matter more here than elsewhere.

How Much Crushed Stone You Need for Your London Project

Calculate the tonnage by multiplying your project area in square feet by the desired depth in inches, then dividing by the coverage of the stone size. Our crushed stone calculator does the math for you. Just enter your dimensions and depth to get an estimate in tons.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the smallest load of crushed stone you deliver to London?

Gravel Monkey can deliver as little as 1 ton of crushed stone to London. You order online and choose your delivery window at checkout. The load comes by dump truck and is dumped where you specify on your property.

Does the soil around London change how much crushed stone I need?

Yes. Soils mapped in the London area are commonly somewhat poorly drained. Where drainage is limited, a thicker base layer of crushed stone helps keep water from softening the ground underneath. The soil is in dual hydrologic group C/D, so water moves slowly through it and tends to run off.

Does the stone size change how well it compacts?

Yes. Smaller sizes like 3/8" Crushed Stone and #10 Rock Screenings compact very tightly because the fines fill the gaps. Larger sizes like 2"-3" Crushed Stone leave open voids and do not compact as densely. For a load-bearing base, choose a graded stone like 3/4" or #57 that locks together well.

How deep should the layer be for a job that carries vehicles?

For a driveway that carries cars and light trucks, a base of 4 to 6 inches of 3/4" Crushed Stone or #57 Crushed Stone is typical. If the soil is soft or the vehicles are heavy, increase the depth to 8 inches and consider a larger bottom layer. Compaction in lifts of 4 to 6 inches gives the best stability.
