Which Crushed Stone to Use for Common Jobs in Virginia Beach

The table below matches typical projects with the stone size that works best.

How Virginia Beach Weather and Soil Affect Your Crushed Stone Job

Frost is not the constraint here, so the calendar is driven by rain and by how wet the ground is. About 77 days a year bring at least a tenth of an inch of rain. That means the ground can be too wet to work for extended stretches. Scheduling delivery for a dry spell matters.

About 50 days a year drop below 32F. The ground freezes and thaws, which can shift a loose stone surface if it lacks a compacted base. Snowfall averages about 3 inches a year. Plowing can scrape up a loose surface if the stone is not well compacted.

Soils mapped in the Virginia Beach area are commonly poorly drained. That means more base stone may be needed under the surface layer to keep water from pooling underneath. Ground around Virginia Beach is in dual hydrologic group C/D. Where it is drained it takes water in slowly and sheds a fair amount across the surface; where it is not, it takes water in very slowly, so most rain runs across the surface. Drainage and a deeper base matter more here than elsewhere.

Estimating How Much Crushed Stone You Need for Your Virginia Beach Job

The tonnage you need depends on the area you are covering and the depth of the layer. Measure the length and width in feet, decide on the depth in inches, then use Gravel Monkey's crushed stone calculator to get an estimate. That tool accounts for compaction and waste.

Frequently Asked Questions About Crushed Stone in Virginia Beach

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

Yes. Soils mapped in the Virginia Beach area are commonly poorly drained. That means you may need more base stone under the surface layer to keep water from pooling. The depth of the base layer depends on the drainage conditions of your specific site.

How much does crushed stone delivery cost in Virginia Beach?

Delivery cost is calculated by ZIP code at checkout. Gravel Monkey does not list a flat rate because it varies by distance and order size. Delivery timing can be affected by wet weather since Virginia Beach has about 77 days a year with measurable rain. You will see the full delivered price before you confirm the order.

What is the difference between the sizes of crushed stone you stock?

Sizes range from fine screenings up to 2 to 3 inch rip rap. The smallest sizes work for paver joints and leveling. The mid sizes such as 3/4 inch and #57 work for bases and drainage. The largest sizes hold slopes and fill deep areas. Each size serves a different purpose based on compaction and drainage needs.

How deep should the layer be for a job that carries vehicles?

For driveways and other vehicle areas, a compacted base of 6 to 8 inches of 3/4 inch or #57 crushed stone is typical. The exact depth depends on the soil and the traffic load. A deeper base may be needed on poorly drained ground.
