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








Crushed stone and crushed gravel both work for base layers, but they come from different parent rock and can have different grading. Crushed stone is machine-crushed from larger rock, giving it sharp edges that lock together well under load. Gravel Monkey delivers crushed stone by the ton to addresses across Rhode Island.
Ordering is straightforward: pick your size, choose a delivery window, and a dump truck brings the load to your site. Whether you need a few tons for a walkway or forty tons for a commercial base, the stone arrives ready to spread.
Each crushed stone product serves a distinct job. Pick the wrong size and you could end up with a base that shifts or drainage that clogs. Here is what each size works for and what to avoid.
| Product | Best for | Note |
|---|---|---|
| 3/8" Crushed Stone | Paver setting bed and tight fill | Not for heavy traffic or drainage layers. |
| 3/4" Crushed Stone | The all-purpose size for base and drainage | Avoid use as a top dressing; stays loose. |
| 1"-1 1/2" Crushed Stone | Heavy base and erosion control | Too large for paver joints or concrete aggregate. |
| 2"-3" Crushed Stone | Rip rap style edging and deep fill | Not suitable for compacted base layers. |
| #57 Crushed Stone | Concrete aggregate, French drains, driveway base | Gap-graded; not a leveling material. |
| #67 Stone | Concrete mix and drainage backfill | Smaller than #57; tighter packing. |
| #8 Stone | Paver joints and pipe bedding | Too fine for heavy load bearing. |
| #10 Rock Screenings | Leveling course under pavers | Dusty when dry; avoid use in wet areas. |
Different jobs need different particle sizes and compaction characteristics. Choose the product that matches your surface type.
| Project | What to order | Depth or note |
|---|---|---|
| French drain | #57 Crushed Stone or 3/4" Crushed Stone | 10 to 12 inches around the pipe. |
| Concrete slab base | #57 Crushed Stone | 4 to 6 inches after compaction. |
| Pipe backfill | #67 Stone or 3/4" Crushed Stone | Shovel-settle, do not compact heavy. |
| Driveway base layer | 3/4" Crushed Stone or #57 Crushed Stone | 6 to 8 inches for vehicle traffic. |
| Paver bedding | #10 Rock Screenings | 1 to 1.5 inches leveled and tamped. |
Annual precipitation across the cities we deliver to runs from about 49 to 52 inches. That much rain means proper drainage stone is critical to keep water moving away from foundations and driveways. Soil groups B and A dominate in the served areas, which drain well but still need a thick enough base to prevent sinking under load.
Freezing days range from about 105 to 132 days per year below 32F, and most of the state sits in the moderate band for ground freezing. Freeze and thaw cycles work on loose material all winter, which is the argument for the deeper first lift. A base that is shallow on day one may heave by February.
Road restrictions are applied by local agencies in spring when frost leaves the ground. Gravel Monkey works around those schedules to keep deliveries on track. Your order is priced by ZIP at checkout, with a minimum lead time of 3 business days.
We deliver crushed stone to residential and commercial sites in cities across the state. Here are the cities we currently serve.
Gravel Monkey delivers to addresses across Rhode Island, not only the cities listed here.
Tonnage depends on the area and the compacted depth you plan. A cubic yard of crushed stone weighs roughly 1.4 tons, but the actual figure varies by stone density. Use our crushed stone calculator to estimate the tonnage for your project. Enter the dimensions and the calculator returns a weight range. Orders run from 1 to 40-plus tons.
Crushed stone locks together when compacted, which is why it is the go-to for base layers that have to hold weight. Order online by the ton, and the price shows at checkout based on your ZIP code. A dump truck delivers the load to your address. Free delivery applies on qualifying orders. Use code FIRSTTIMER50 for $50 off your first order.
You pick the delivery window: morning or afternoon. You get an email confirmation, then a second email with a photo of the load before it ships. Approve that email to schedule the drop. Someone must be on site during the window. Find details on delivery information and see what previous customers have said on our customer reviews page. About Gravel Monkey explains how we work with regional suppliers to source stone across the state.
If crushed stone is not what you need, we have other bulk materials available.
Yes. Spring thaw weakens road beds, and local towns post weight restrictions. Gravel Monkey works around those schedules to keep your shipment moving. Your delivery date is set at checkout and must be at least 3 business days after the order date.
Rainfall runs from about 49 to 52 inches per year across the cities we serve. Higher rainfall areas need free-draining stone like #57 or 3/4" crushed stone to keep water away from structures. The moderate frost band means a deeper initial lift to counter freeze-thaw heave.

Crushed stone is sold by the ton. A ton is a unit of weight equal to 2,000 pounds. The volume per ton depends on the stone type and compaction, but our calculator gives you a solid estimate for your project.
