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








For most crushed stone projects in Pennsboro, the tonnage you need depends on the area and depth. A typical driveway or base layer can take several tons. The right size and depth make the difference between a stable surface and one that shifts.
Because Pennsboro gets about 47 inches of precipitation a year, drainage matters. Crushed stone lets water pass through, which reduces washout and keeps your surface intact. That is why it is a common choice for foundations and driveways here.
Crushed stone is sold by size, from fine screenings to large rip rap. Each size serves a different purpose. Here are the sizes you can order for delivery to Pennsboro:
| Product | Best For | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| 3/8" Crushed Stone | Paver setting bed and tight fill | Small, angular particles that lock together well. |
| 3/4" Crushed Stone | The all-purpose size for base and drainage | Versatile for driveways, walkways, and drainage layers. |
| 1"-1 1/2" Crushed Stone | Heavy base and erosion control | Larger stone for stability under heavy loads. |
| 2"-3" Crushed Stone | Rip rap style edging and deep fill | Used for erosion control and large voids. |
| #57 Crushed Stone | Concrete aggregate, French drains, driveway base | Clean, angular stone with few fines. |
| #67 Stone | Concrete mix and drainage backfill | Slightly smaller than #57, good for backfill. |
| #8 Stone | Paver joints and pipe bedding | Small, uniform particles for tight spaces. |
| #10 Rock Screenings | Leveling course under pavers | Dusty fines that compact into a flat surface. |
Each project needs a specific crushed stone size to solve a particular problem. Use this guide to match the stone to the task:
| Project | What to Order | Depth or Note |
|---|---|---|
| Concrete slab base | #57 Crushed Stone | 4 to 6 inches, compacted |
| Pipe backfill | #67 Stone | 6 to 12 inches around pipe |
| Paver bedding | 3/8" Crushed Stone | 1 to 2 inches, screeded level |
| French drain | #57 Crushed Stone | 6 to 12 inches around drain pipe |
| Driveway base layer | 3/4" Crushed Stone | 4 to 6 inches, compacted in lifts |
Pennsboro sees about 129 days a year below freezing. That means the ground can freeze and thaw repeatedly. You should schedule your delivery for when the ground is firm, usually in late spring or early fall.
Snowfall averages about 23 inches a year. If you spread crushed stone in winter, plowing can scatter the loose surface. Plan to install it after the last snow or in a spot you do not plow.
The ground around Pennsboro is in hydrologic group C, which means it takes water in slowly. A deeper drainage layer of crushed stone helps avoid standing water and frost heave. Winters here are cold enough to move an unsettled base, so compaction is worth the extra pass.
To figure out how many tons of crushed stone your Pennsboro project requires, measure the length and width of the area and decide on the depth. Use our crushed stone calculator to get an exact number based on your dimensions.

Crushed stone works well with other bulk materials. Pair it with these for a complete job:
Yes. Ground freezing here is real but moderate, with about 129 days below freezing. That can cause frost heave in an unprepared base. You should order and install your crushed stone when the ground is not frozen, ideally in spring or fall.
About 94 days a year bring at least a tenth of an inch of rain. Wet ground can make a delivery messy and cause ruts. Choose a dry stretch to schedule your order so the truck can access your site and the stone stays clean.
The depth depends on the use. A driveway base typically needs 4 to 6 inches, while a French drain may need 6 to 12 inches. The crushed stone calculator can help you convert depth into tons.
The truck needs a road or driveway at least 12 feet wide. If access is tight, the crew will unload as close to the requested spot as safely possible. Make sure the path is clear and firm.
