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








If you are laying a new driveway or a slab base, crushed stone gives you a stable surface that drains well. In Pittston, about 147 days a year drop below 32F, so the base layer has to handle frost movement without shifting.
Two common sizes for this job are the 3/4" Crushed Stone for all-purpose base work and the #57 Crushed Stone for a compacted driveway base. Gravel Monkey delivers directly to your Pittston address in a dump truck, so you do not need to visit a yard.
Crushed stone is split into base materials and finish materials. Some sizes are meant for a load-bearing layer under asphalt or concrete, while others work as a draining backfill or a decorative surface. The table below lists every size delivered in Pittston and what each one is best for.
| Product | Best Use | Note |
|---|---|---|
| 3/8" Crushed Stone | Paver setting bed and tight fill | Fine enough to level under pavers but still drains. |
| 3/4" Crushed Stone | The all-purpose size for base and drainage | The most versatile size for driveways and slab bases. |
| 1"-1 1/2" Crushed Stone | Heavy base and erosion control | Larger stone for deep fills and stabilizing slopes. |
| 2"-3" Crushed Stone | Rip rap style edging and deep fill | Used as a coarse edge or where large voids are needed. |
| #57 Crushed Stone | Concrete aggregate, French drains, driveway base | A graded stone that compacts well for load-bearing bases. |
| #67 Stone | Concrete mix and drainage backfill | Slightly smaller than #57, good for drainage behind retaining walls. |
| #8 Stone | Paver joints and pipe bedding | Small enough to fill paver joints but open enough to drain. |
| #10 Rock Screenings | Leveling course under pavers | Dusty fines that create a smooth, compactable bed for pavers. |
The table below compares projects by budget and long-term performance. For a lower-cost approach you might use a single size, while a more permanent installation often needs a graded base and a surface layer.
| Project | What to Order | Depth or Note |
|---|---|---|
| Driveway base layer | #57 Crushed Stone | Compact to 4 to 6 inches thick. |
| Pipe backfill | 3/4" Crushed Stone | Fill around pipe with 6 inches of cover. |
| Concrete slab base | 1"-1 1/2" Crushed Stone | Depth of 4 to 8 inches depending on load. |
| Paver bedding | 3/8" Crushed Stone | Spread 1 inch thick as a leveling course. |
| French drain | #67 Stone | Fill trench with clean stone, no fines. |
The ground in Pittston freezes deep and for long stretches. That means your base layer needs to be deep enough to resist frost heave. Pittston gets about 48 inches of precipitation a year, so drainage is critical. Water that pools under the base can lead to shifting. Using an open-graded crushed stone helps water drain away.
About 84 days a year bring at least a tenth of an inch of rain, so plan deliveries for a stretch of dry weather so the truck can access firm ground. About 46 inches of snow falls each year. Plowing can damage a loose surface layer, so a compacted base is important if you expect snow removal. Spring thaw is the wet part of the year for driveways, and it is when a thin base shows up as ruts.
Soils in the Pittston area are mapped as somewhat excessively drained in common areas. That means water moves through quickly, but it also means you may need less base stone under the surface layer to compensate for drainage. This is area guidance, not a site-specific recommendation.
The amount of crushed stone you need depends on the area you are covering and the depth you want. Instead of guessing, use our crushed stone calculator to get a tonnage estimate based on your project dimensions. Enter the square footage and the depth you plan to use, and the calculator will give you the tons required.

The size depends on the job. For a base under a driveway, use 3/4" or #57 crushed stone. For a paver setting bed, use 3/8" crushed stone or #10 rock screenings. For drainage, use #67 or 1"-1 1/2" crushed stone. The product section above has more detail.
