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








Polk County, home to Onalaska, has seen steady growth, with about 751 single-family homes permitted in the county in 2024. Many of those new properties rely on crushed stone for driveways, foundations, and drainage. Onalaska gets about 52 inches of precipitation a year, so planning for drainage and washout is essential from the start.
For new driveways or base layers under concrete slabs, crushed stone provides the angular shape needed for load-bearing and stability. Gravel Monkey delivers bulk crushed stone directly to your site, so you do not need to haul bags from a store.
Crushed stone ranges from fine screenings that compact tightly to large rip rap that holds against erosion. The table below matches each size to its best use.
| Product | Best for | Note |
|---|---|---|
| 3/8" Crushed Stone | Paver setting bed and tight fill | Works well under interlocking pavers and flagstone. |
| 3/4" Crushed Stone | The all-purpose size for base and drainage | Handles most residential loads when compacted in lifts. |
| 1"-1 1/2" Crushed Stone | Heavy base and erosion control | Common under retaining walls and heavy equipment pads. |
| 2"-3" Crushed Stone | Rip rap style edging and deep fill | Used for ditch linings and stabilization on steep slopes. |
| #57 Crushed Stone | Concrete aggregate, French drains, driveway base | Open grade allows water to flow through freely. |
| #67 Stone | Concrete mix and drainage backfill | Slightly smaller than #57, good for tight drainage blankets. |
| #8 Stone | Paver joints and pipe bedding | Small enough to sweep into paver gaps and bed utility pipes. |
| #10 Rock Screenings | Leveling course under pavers | Dusty fines create a smooth, compactable surface. |
Every project has a weak point. Choosing the correct crushed stone addresses that weak point before it becomes a problem.
| Project | What to order | Depth or note |
|---|---|---|
| Paver bedding | #10 Rock Screenings | Screed to a consistent 1-inch depth for a level base. |
| French drain | #57 Crushed Stone | Wrap in filter fabric to keep soil out of the voids. |
| Concrete slab base | 3/4" Crushed Stone | Compact in 4-inch lifts under the slab. |
| Pipe backfill | #8 Stone | Place and tamp carefully around the pipe haunches. |
| Driveway base layer | #57 Crushed Stone | Spread 6 inches over a graded subgrade and compact. |
About 67 days a year bring at least a tenth of an inch of rain in Onalaska, so scheduling crushed stone delivery onto firm ground matters. Wet soil under the load can compact unevenly and require rework later.
Ground freezing is not a significant factor here, which simplifies base depth planning. You do not need to extend the base below a deep frost line as you would in colder regions. The ground around Onalaska is in hydrologic group C, meaning it takes water in slowly and sheds a fair amount across the surface. A deeper drainage layer under your crushed stone helps move water away and keep the base stable.
Soils mapped in the Onalaska area are commonly moderately well drained. That area guidance suggests you may need more or less base stone under the surface layer depending on your exact location. Work can run most of the year in this climate, which makes scheduling the delivery the easy part.
Tonnage depends on the area you are covering and the depth you plan to use. A cubic yard of crushed stone weighs roughly 1.4 tons, but the exact figure changes with stone type and moisture. Use our crushed stone calculator to input your dimensions and get a load estimate before you order.
You order online by the ton, and delivery is priced by ZIP code at checkout. A dump truck brings 1 to 40+ tons to your address and drops the load where you mark it. First-time customers receive $50 off their first order.
Your delivery date must be at least 3 business days after the order. You pick a window: morning 7 am to 12 pm or afternoon 12 pm to 5 pm. Someone must be on site during that window. You get an email confirmation, then a second email with the exact window and a photo of the load. Delivery goes ahead only after you approve that second email. The truck needs a 12-foot-wide access path. If access is restricted, the crew unloads as close as safely possible.

Yes, we deliver crushed stone to Onalaska and surrounding parts of Polk County. Polk County permitted about 751 single-family homes in 2024, and many of those projects receive crushed stone from our regional suppliers. We deliver to residential addresses and construction sites across the area.
Ground around Onalaska is in hydrologic group C, which means water drains slowly through the soil. That often calls for a thicker base layer to keep the stone above wet soil, which can increase the tonnage you need. Use our crushed stone calculator with your length, width, and planned depth to get a precise estimate.
The sizes range from fine #10 Screenings up to 2"-3" rip rap. Smaller stones like #57 and 3/4" Crushed Stone work for general base and drainage, while larger stones handle erosion control and heavy loads. The grading determines how tightly the material compacts and how much water it lets through.
Yes, we take orders from both homeowners and businesses. Contractors, landscapers, and commercial projects use the same order process. Loads from 1 ton to 40+ tons deliver to any address in our service area.
