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








Crushed stone and crushed gravel are both angular, but the difference is the parent rock and the grading. Crushed stone comes from quarried rock and holds its shape under load, which makes it a better pick for compaction-dependent jobs. About 49 inches of precipitation falls on Jay each year, so drainage planning matters whenever you build a base or a bed.
Whether you need a solid base for a driveway or a clean bed for pavers, the right size of crushed stone keeps the work from settling unevenly. This page breaks down what each size does and how local conditions affect the amount you need.
Each crushed stone product serves a specific purpose. Some are meant for structural fill, others for a smooth finish. Here is what we stock and what each size can and cannot do.
| Product | Best for | Note |
|---|---|---|
| 3/8" Crushed Stone | Paver setting bed and tight fill | Not for heavy traffic bases; too small to lock under load. |
| 3/4" Crushed Stone | All-purpose base and drainage | Works for driveways, patios, and French drains when compacted. |
| 1"-1 1/2" Crushed Stone | Heavy base and erosion control | Overkill for light foot traffic; ideal under thick concrete. |
| 2"-3" Crushed Stone | Rip rap style edging and deep fill | Too large for general use; meant for ditch lining and slope protection. |
| #57 Crushed Stone | Concrete aggregate, French drains, driveway base | Clean, open-graded stone that drains well without fines. |
| #67 Stone | Concrete mix and drainage backfill | Slightly smaller than #57, good for pipe bedding and backfill. |
| #8 Stone | Paver joints and pipe bedding | Fills narrow gaps but lacks fines for compaction. |
| #10 Rock Screenings | Leveling course under pavers | Not a base material; use only as a thin screed layer. |
Match the project type to the best crushed stone size. Depth notes are general; adjust based on soil conditions and intended load.
| Project | What to order | Depth or note |
|---|---|---|
| Paver bedding | 3/8" Crushed Stone or #8 Stone | Spread and level 1 to 2 inches before screeding |
| French drain | #57 Crushed Stone | Clean stone only; no fines to clog the drain |
| Driveway base layer | 3/4" Crushed Stone or #57 | Compact in 4-inch lifts for a stable foundation |
| Concrete slab base | 3/4" Crushed Stone or #57 | Compact to a firm, uniform surface before pouring |
| Pipe backfill | 1"-1 1/2" Crushed Stone or #67 | Encapsulate the pipe, compact carefully around it |
Soils mapped in the Jay area are commonly well drained, so water moves through the ground at a moderate rate. That means a standard base depth will usually handle rainwater without extra drain rock. The ground around Jay is in hydrologic group B, which takes water in at a moderate rate, so standard base depth is usually enough for drainage.
About 67 days a year bring at least a tenth of an inch of rain, so schedule deliveries onto firm ground to avoid rutting. Around 100 freezing days each year push frost into the soil, and the roughly 9 inches of annual snowfall can lead to plow damage on a loose surface. Freeze and thaw cycles work on loose material all winter, which is the argument for the deeper first lift.
Frost penetration here is real but moderate, which influences how deep the base layer needs to be. The well-drained character of Jay's soils helps, but a thicker first lift adds insurance against heaving.
Tonnage depends on the area you are covering and the depth of the layer. To get a quick estimate, use our crushed stone calculator, which asks for your project's length, width, and intended depth.
From there, the calculator gives a tonnage figure based on the density of crushed stone. Order a little more than the calculation says to account for compaction and settling.

Crushed stone often works with other bulk materials. Here are the products we deliver in Jay that complement a crushed stone job.
Yes, but in a good way. The ground in the Jay area is in hydrologic group B, meaning it takes water in at a moderate rate. So standard base depths are usually enough, and you won't need extra stone to compensate for poor drainage.
Delivery cost is calculated at checkout based on your ZIP code and the quantity of crushed stone you order. Because Jay's soils are well drained, a standard base depth is often adequate, which helps keep your total cost predictable. For a first order, apply code FIRSTTIMER50 to save $50.
Each size is defined by the diameter of the stone after crushing. Smaller sizes like 3/8 inch work for paver bedding and tight fill. Medium sizes like 3/4 inch and #57 serve as all-purpose base and drainage. Larger sizes like 1-1.5 inch and 2-3 inch are used for erosion control and deep fill.
The depth depends on the subgrade and the weight of the traffic. For a standard driveway, a compacted base of 4 to 6 inches is a common starting point. If the subgrade is soft or the vehicles are heavy, a thicker layer may be needed. Our delivery team can advise on your specific project when you order.
