Buy Crushed Stone in Vermont

Many first-time buyers order crushed stone based on a single project they have seen or a neighbor's suggestion. The material that works for a paver walkway is not the same one needed under a driveway. Crushed stone comes in sizes from fine screenings to large rip rap, and each size has a specific job. Gravel Monkey delivers crushed stone throughout Vermont by the ton, so you can order the right amount for your project.

Before you buy, decide whether the stone will carry a load, drain water, or finish a surface. A thin layer of the wrong size can move or settle within a season. Matching the size to the use keeps the work stable for years.

Crushed Stone Sizes for Vermont Projects

The sizes of crushed stone fall roughly into two groups. Smaller stones under 1 inch are for finish layers, paver joints, and leveling. Larger stones from 1 inch and up form the load-bearing base that supports driveways and slabs. The table below lists the sizes available and what each one does.

Choosing the Right Stone for Your Job

Every project needs a size that matches the load and the drainage. Budget-conscious buyers often choose a single stone for the whole job, but a long-term installation uses a larger base stone and a smaller surface stone. The table shows what to order for common Vermont projects.

Vermont Climate and Ground Conditions

Across the cities we deliver to in Vermont, annual precipitation runs from about 38 to 49 inches. That moisture, combined with 154 to 177 days a year below 32F, means the ground goes through many freeze-thaw cycles. A crushed stone base that is too thin or too fine can heave and settle over a single winter.

Most of the state sits in the severe band for ground freezing. The most common soil groups across the served cities are hydrologic groups A and D. Group D soils drain slowly and need a thicker crushed stone base to stay stable under loads.

VTrans runs a spring load-restriction program on state roads during the thaw period. Spring thaw is the wet part of the year for driveways, and it is when a thin base shows up as ruts. Planning your delivery and base depth with these conditions in mind saves rework later.

How Much Crushed Stone Do You Need

Estimating the tonnage starts with the length, width, and depth of the area you plan to cover. Use our crushed stone calculator to enter your dimensions and get a tonnage estimate for any project. The calculator accounts for the density of the stone size you choose, so you can order the right amount by the ton.

Ordering Crushed Stone from Gravel Monkey

Crushed stone is heavy, so buying by the ton makes sense. Order online at Gravel Monkey, and the price is calculated for your ZIP code at checkout. A dump truck delivers the load to your address, typically in loads from 1 to over 40 tons. Free delivery applies on qualifying orders. Use code FIRSTTIMER50 to get $50 off your first order.

Frequently Asked Questions

What conditions across Vermont should change what I order?

Vermont sees 38 to 49 inches of rain a year and 154 to 177 freezing days. That climate demands a crushed stone base that drains well and resists frost heave. A clean, open-graded stone like #57 works better in wet areas than a dense-graded mix.

Do seasonal road restrictions in Vermont affect delivery?

Yes. VTrans runs a spring load-restriction program on state roads. That can limit the weight allowed on certain routes during thaw, so delivery windows may shift. Gravel Monkey schedules deliveries around these restrictions to keep your order on track.

What sizes of crushed stone are available?

Crushed stone is available in sizes from fine screenings up to 3-inch rip rap. The product table on this page lists each size and its best use.

Is there a first-order discount?

Yes. Use the code FIRSTTIMER50 at checkout to get $50 off your first order with Gravel Monkey. The discount applies to qualifying orders.
