Buy Crushed Stone in Astoria, Oregon

Order crushed stone online by the ton, and a dump truck delivers it to your Astoria address. You mark the spot where the load should go, and the driver places it there in one drop.

Astoria gets about 78 inches of precipitation a year, so drainage and washout planning matter when you pick a crushed stone size and base depth.

Crushed Stone Sizes for Astoria Projects

Crushed stone is split between base material and finish material. Smaller sizes work for leveling and bedding; larger sizes handle drainage and load support.

Choosing Crushed Stone for Common Jobs in Astoria

For each project you can choose a budget option or a longer-lasting option. The right size and depth depend on the load and the soil.

How Astoria's Climate Affects Your Crushed Stone

Clatsop County permitted about 88 single-family homes in 2024, a county figure that points to new construction needing good base stone. Around Astoria about 132 days a year bring at least a tenth of an inch of rain, so scheduling the delivery onto firm ground helps avoid a muddy mess.

Only about 41 days a year drop below 32F, and ground freezing here is not a significant factor. That means the base layer does not need extra depth for frost heave. Snowfall averages only about 2 inches a year, so plowing damage to a loose surface is rarely a concern. Without a hard freeze to lift the surface, drainage and washout are what decide how long the material lasts.

Soils mapped in the Astoria area are commonly well drained, so under the surface layer you may need less base stone than in heavy clay areas. The ground around Astoria takes water in at a moderate rate, so standard base depth is usually enough for most projects.

Estimating How Much Crushed Stone You Need

To figure tonnage, measure the length and width of the area and decide on the depth in inches. Enter those numbers into our crushed stone calculator to get an exact amount in tons. Order by the ton online, and the truck hauls the load straight to your site.

Frequently Asked Questions About Crushed Stone in Astoria

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

The smallest load we deliver is 1 ton. Astoria gets about 78 inches of precipitation a year, so even a small load can serve as drainage fill around a foundation or in a trench. Order exactly what your project needs by the ton.

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

Soils mapped in the Astoria area are commonly well drained, so you may need less base stone under the surface layer than you would on clay. The ground around Astoria takes water in at a moderate rate, meaning the standard base depth for a driveway or patio usually works. Your own soil may differ, so check the conditions on your site.

What size crushed stone should I choose?

It depends on the job. Use 3/8" or #10 for paver bedding, 3/4" or #57 for base layers and drainage, and 2"-3" for erosion control and deep fill. For a driveway, a common combination is #57 as the base topped with 3/4" crushed stone. Consider the load and water flow in your specific project.

Do you deliver to rural addresses outside the city limits?

Yes, we deliver to rural addresses in Clatsop County and beyond as long as the site has a road width of at least 12 feet for the truck. Your delivery fee is calculated at checkout by ZIP code. If access is restricted, the crew unloads as close to the requested spot as they safely can.
