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








Cass County properties that need a firm sub-base for a driveway, a patio or a shed pad turn to crushed stone. Linden gets about 50 inches of precipitation a year, so drainage and washout planning need to be part of the job from the start. The stone is angular, so it locks together under load and stays put.
The stone is delivered by dump truck and dumped where you mark the spot, saving a trip to a yard. You order online by the ton, pick a delivery window at checkout, and the truck shows up at your address.
Crushed stone from Gravel Monkey comes in a range of sizes from fine screenings up to rip rap. Each size has a specific job, from paver setting beds to heavy erosion control. The table below shows what each size does best and where it is used most often.
| Size | Best Use | Note |
|---|---|---|
| 3/8" Crushed Stone | Paver setting bed and tight fill | A fine, compactable stone that levels smoothly under pavers. |
| 3/4" Crushed Stone | All-purpose size for base and drainage | The most common base stone for driveways, patios and walkways. |
| 1"-1 1/2" Crushed Stone | Heavy base and erosion control | Larger stone for deep fills, slope protection and mud spots. |
| 2"-3" Crushed Stone | Rip rap style edging and deep fill | Oversize stone for heavy edge restraint and large voids. |
| #57 Crushed Stone | Concrete aggregate, French drains, driveway base | A clean, open-graded stone that drains freely without clogging. |
| #67 Stone | Concrete mix and drainage backfill | Slightly smaller than #57, works well in concrete and trench drains. |
| #8 Stone | Paver joints and pipe bedding | Small, clean stone that fills joints and nests around pipe evenly. |
| #10 Rock Screenings | Leveling course under pavers | A fine, dusty screening that screeds flat and hardens with weight. |
Different projects call for different stone sizes. Choosing the right one saves time and material. Here is a quick guide to matching the stone to the job for common projects around Linden.
| Project | What to Order | Depth or Note |
|---|---|---|
| Paver bedding | 3/8" Crushed Stone | 1 inch after compaction for a firm, level setting bed. |
| Concrete slab base | #57 Crushed Stone | 4 to 6 inches compacted, placed and leveled before the pour. |
| Pipe backfill | #8 Stone | Washes around the pipe fully without leaving air pockets. |
| French drain | #57 Crushed Stone | Clean, open stone that allows water to move through freely. |
| Driveway base layer | 3/4" Crushed Stone | 4 to 6 inches compacted, then topped with a wearing course. |
About 64 days a year bring at least a tenth of an inch of rain, so scheduling a delivery onto firm ground takes planning. Ground that is too wet can lead to rutting from the truck or uneven placement. The ground around Linden is in hydrologic group C, which means it takes water in slowly and sheds a fair amount across the surface. A deeper drainage layer earns its place under a stone base to handle that runoff.
About 44 days a year drop below 32F. Winters here are cold enough to move an unsettled base, so compaction is worth the extra pass. Frost heave is moderate, and that affects how deep the base layer needs to be to stay stable through freeze-thaw cycles.
Snowfall averages about 1 inch a year, which means plowing a loose surface can do damage if the stone is not compacted well. Planning for these conditions from the start makes for a longer-lasting installation that holds up through the seasons.
