Buy Crushed Stone in Baytown, Texas

A driveway base layer or a French drain in Baytown usually takes between 2 and 6 tons of crushed stone, depending on the depth and size of the area. Baytown gets about 57 inches of precipitation a year, which makes drainage planning a key consideration before you place an order.

Crushed stone is an angular, machine-crushed aggregate that locks together under compaction. It holds up to heavy loads and resists shifting, which makes it a good base material for concrete slabs, pavers, and gravel driveways that see regular use.

Crushed Stone Sizes for Baytown Projects

Crushed stone is sold by the ton in graded sizes. Each size serves a different role, from a fine leveling course to heavy rip rap fill. The table below lists every size we supply.

Which Crushed Stone to Order for Common Jobs in Baytown

The right size and depth depend on the load it carries and the ground condition. Soils mapped in the Baytown area are commonly poorly drained, so base layers often need to be thicker to spread the load and allow water movement. Use this table as a starting point.

Local Conditions That Affect Your Crushed Stone Delivery

Baytown sees about 67 days a year with at least a tenth of an inch of rain. Scheduling the delivery onto firm ground matters because the truck needs stable access. The ground around Baytown is in hydrologic group D, meaning it takes water in very slowly, so most rain runs across the surface. That behavior makes drainage and a deeper base more important here than in other areas.

Frost is not the constraint here, so the calendar is driven by rain and by how wet the ground is. About 9 days a year drop below 32F, which is not enough to cause significant ground freezing. That means the work window is wide across the cooler months, but wet weather can delay compaction and delivery access.

Soils mapped in the Baytown area are commonly poorly drained. When planning a project, consider using more base stone under the surface layer to manage water movement. This is general area guidance; your site may differ.

Other Materials That Pair with Crushed Stone

Crushed stone works well as a base, but other materials often complete the job. The following products complement crushed stone on Baytown projects.

• Mulch, Sits on top of crushed stone paths to suppress weeds and add a finished look.
• Walkway Gravel, A decorative layer over a crushed stone base for stable, attractive foot traffic.

Frequently Asked Questions About Crushed Stone in Baytown

How many wet days a year should I plan a crushed stone delivery around in Baytown?

Plan around about 67 wet days a year, which is when at least a tenth of an inch of rain falls. Those days leave the ground too soft for a dump truck to access without rutting. If you schedule your delivery during a dry stretch, the truck can reach your preferred drop spot more easily.

Do winter conditions in Baytown affect delivery?

Winter does not stop deliveries in Baytown. Only about 9 days a year drop below freezing, and ground freezing is not a significant factor. Rain in the cooler months is the main concern, not cold or frost.

How far in advance should I order?

Order at least 3 business days before your ideal delivery date. That is the minimum lead time. If you have a project start date, add a few extra days to allow for weather or scheduling adjustments.

What is the difference between the sizes you stock?

The sizes range from a fine #10 Rock Screenings up to 2 to 3 inch rip rap. Smaller sizes like 3/8 inch and #8 stone fill tight gaps and make smooth beds. Larger sizes like 1 to 1.5 inch and 2 to 3 inch provide structural base and erosion control. The #57 and #67 stones are clean, open graded sizes that drain well.
