Crushed Stone Sizes for Your Dayton Project

Finish and specialty materials like 3/8" Crushed Stone and #8 Stone serve as setting beds or joint fill. The table below lists every size available in Dayton.

Selecting Crushed Stone for Common Projects in Dayton

For some projects, a budget-friendly option works well if the finish is temporary or covered. For long-term installations, investing in a compacted base of angular stone pays off. The table below matches common projects to the right crushed stone.

Local Conditions That Affect Your Crushed Stone Job in Dayton

Dayton gets about 3 inches of snow a year. Plowing a loose crushed stone surface can push the stone aside, so you may want to top-dress after snow removal or use a bound surface. The ground freezes here about 82 days a year, which means the base layer needs enough depth to resist frost heave.

Soils mapped in the Dayton area are commonly well drained, so less base stone is needed under the surface layer compared to clay soils. The ground around Dayton is in hydrologic group A, which soaks water up quickly and produces little runoff.

This means you do not need as much drainage stone under the surface. Winters here are cold enough to move an unsettled base, so compaction is worth the extra pass.

How Much Crushed Stone You Need

Crushed stone is sold by the ton. To figure out how many tons your project needs, multiply the length, width and depth of the area in feet, then divide by the cubic feet per ton for the specific product. Use our crushed stone calculator to get an exact number for your job. The thickness of the layer and the compaction factor can change the total, and our calculator accounts for that. Enter your project dimensions, and it shows the tons required for each size. We deliver from 1 ton up to 40 tons in a single load. Free delivery applies to qualifying orders.

Frequently Asked Questions About Crushed Stone in Dayton

When is the best time of year to order crushed stone in Dayton?

The best time is spring through early fall, before the ground freezes. Dayton has about 82 days a year with temperatures below freezing, so working after the frost thaws in spring gives you a long window for compaction. Fall work is also possible if you finish before the ground freezes.

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

The smallest load is 1 ton. Dayton has about 88 wet days a year, so ordering a smaller load helps you schedule delivery on a firm, dry surface. You can order 1 ton or more up to 40 tons in a single truck.
