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








When you order crushed stone in Erie from Gravel Monkey, a dump truck delivers the material straight to your address. You pick the exact drop spot before the truck arrives. Erie gets about 48 inches of precipitation each year, so planning for drainage and washout is important when you lay a crushed stone surface.
The truck makes one drop at the spot you mark. You order by the ton online, and the delivery is scheduled at checkout. This straightforward process works for driveways, bases, and drainage projects across the city.
Crushed stone comes in several sizes, each suited to a different layer in a project. The smaller sizes work as finish or bedding material, while the larger grades handle structural base and erosion control. The table below lists every size available in Erie.
| Product | Best For | Note |
|---|---|---|
| 3/8" Crushed Stone | Paver setting bed and tight fill | Compacts well under pavers and in narrow gaps. |
| 3/4" Crushed Stone | The all-purpose size for base and drainage | Works for driveways, paths, and French drain fill. |
| 1"-1 1/2" Crushed Stone | Heavy base and erosion control | Handles load and resists washout on slopes. |
| 2"-3" Crushed Stone | Rip rap style edging and deep fill | Larger pieces stay put in heavy flow areas. |
| #57 Crushed Stone | Concrete aggregate, French drains, driveway base | Clean, angular stone that drains well. |
| #67 Stone | Concrete mix and drainage backfill | Slightly smaller than #57, used in tight fills. |
| #8 Stone | Paver joints and pipe bedding | Small particles lock into narrow spaces. |
| #10 Rock Screenings | Leveling course under pavers | Fine material that screeds flat easily. |
For each project, you can choose a budget-friendly option or a longer-lasting base. The table below pairs the most common Erie jobs with the right crushed stone size and depth.
| Project | What to Order | Depth or Note |
|---|---|---|
| Paver bedding | 3/8" Crushed Stone or #10 Screenings | 1 to 2 inch layer, compacted smooth. |
| Driveway base layer | #57 Crushed Stone or 3/4" Crushed Stone | 4 to 6 inches after compaction. |

Erie has about 108 wet days each year where at least a tenth of an inch of rain falls. Scheduling your delivery onto firm ground prevents the truck from rutting the site and gives you a solid surface to work on. Spring thaw is the wet part of the year for driveways, and it is when a thin base shows up as ruts.
Temperatures drop below freezing on about 125 days per year, which shortens the working season for outdoor projects. The ground freezes deep and long here, so your base layer should be thick enough to resist movement when the soil expands and contracts. Erie also receives about 111 inches of snow annually, and snow plowing can damage a loose stone surface if the top layer is not compacted well.
Planning your project to avoid the freeze-thaw cycle in spring and fall helps the crushed stone stay in place. A thicker base and proper compaction reduce the risk of washouts and frost heave.
To figure out how many tons of crushed stone your project requires, measure the length and width of the area and decide on the depth. Use the crushed stone calculator on the Gravel Monkey site to get an accurate tonnage estimate in seconds.

Yes, the local soil type affects how much base material your project requires. Erie area soils are often silty or clayey, which can drain slowly and may need a thicker crushed stone layer. Because Erie receives about 48 inches of precipitation annually, a well-drained base helps prevent washout.

For vehicle traffic, a compacted layer of 4 to 6 inches of crushed stone is standard. Thicker bases are needed for heavier loads or softer subgrades. A deeper base also resists ruts during the wet spring season.
3/4" crushed stone is the most common all-purpose size used in Erie. It works well for driveway bases, French drains, and as a drainage layer under patios. Its angular shape locks together for a stable surface.
