Buy Crushed Stone in Kingsport, Tennessee

Whether you are laying down a new driveway base or setting up a French drain around a foundation, the crushed stone you choose has to handle the local weather. Kingsport gets about 48 inches of precipitation a year, so drainage and washout planning should guide your material choice.

#57 Crushed Stone is a standard pick for drainage layers and concrete aggregate, while 3/4" Crushed Stone works as an all-purpose base. Both are available by the ton and delivered to your address.

Crushed Stone Sizes and Their Uses in Kingsport

Crushed stone is graded by size, and each size fits a specific part of the job. Smaller sizes like 3/8" Crushed Stone and #10 Rock Screenings work as a leveling course or tight fill. Larger sizes like 1"-1 1/2" and 2"-3" Crushed Stone handle heavy base work and erosion control. The table below lists every size available through Gravel Monkey in Kingsport.

The table below pairs five common projects with a standard crushed stone option. Choosing a compactible stone now can reduce maintenance later.

How Kingsport Weather Affects Your Crushed Stone Job

Kingsport sees about 94 days a year where the temperature drops below 32F. That freeze cycle pushes into the ground and can shift an un-compacted base. Winters here are cold enough to move an unsettled base, so compaction is worth the extra pass. The frost depth is real but moderate, which means the base layer under a driveway or slab needs to be deep enough to stay stable through January and February.

About 6 inches of snowfall is typical for Kingsport each winter. Plowing that snow off a loose gravel surface can push the stone around and create ruts, which makes a well-compacted top layer important before the first freeze.

Around 90 days a year bring at least a tenth of an inch of rain. Scheduling the delivery onto firm ground makes spreading and compacting easier, and it keeps the truck from getting stuck in soft yard soil.

Estimating How Much Crushed Stone You Need

Crushed stone is sold by the ton, and the right amount depends on the area you are covering and the depth of the layer. The shape of the stone and how tightly it compacts also change the final volume. Instead of guessing, use Gravel Monkeys crushed stone calculator to enter your dimensions and get a tonnage estimate.

Common Questions About Crushed Stone Delivery in Kingsport

Frequently Asked Questions About Crushed Stone Delivery in Kingsport

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

The smallest load delivered to Kingsport is one ton. One ton of crushed stone covers roughly 100 to 120 square feet at a depth of 2 inches, depending on the stone size.

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

Yes. Soils mapped in the Kingsport area commonly include clay-rich layers that drain slowly. If the soil under your project holds water, the base layer of crushed stone may need to be deeper to keep the finished surface stable.

What size crushed stone should I choose?

The size depends on the project. For driveways and heavy base layers, 3/4" Crushed Stone or #57 Crushed Stone are standard picks. For paver bedding, 3/8" Crushed Stone or #10 Rock Screenings work best. Drainage and French drain jobs usually call for a clean, angular stone like #57 or #67.
