Crushed Stone Tips
- Crushed stone has angular edges that interlock when compacted, making it ideal for driveways and base layers.
- For driveway bases, use 4-6 inches of #57 crushed stone topped with 2-3 inches of finer #21A stone dust.
- Crushed stone compacts well and provides excellent drainage, making it a top choice for construction foundations.
- Common sizes: #57 (3/4 inch) for drainage, #411 for driveways, #21A (stone dust) for paver bases and compaction.
- One cubic yard of crushed stone weighs approximately 2,700 lbs (1.35 tons). Order by the ton for bulk delivery.
- Compact crushed stone in 2-inch lifts with a plate compactor for best results. Water lightly before compacting.
