Frequently Asked Questions
How much area does one cubic yard cover? One cubic yard of 3/4"-3/8" Brown Stone covers approximately 100 square feet when installed at a standard 3-inch depth. For deeper applications or uneven subgrades, order an extra 10% to account for settling.
How is the stone sold and delivered? This material is available in bulk for both local pickup and job-site delivery across Rhode Island, with convenient ordering available in 0.5-cubic-yard increments. Please note that minimum order quantities apply for delivery.
Does this stone lock into place for driveways? No. Because these stones are partially rounded rather than sharp and angular, they do not interlock tightly. We recommend crushed stone with angular faces for high-traffic vehicular driveways, reserving this rounded brown stone for drainage, decorative beds, and footpaths.
Pro Contractor Tip
When installing this aggregate in drainage trenches or foundation beds, line the excavation with a heavy-duty non-woven geotextile fabric. This prevents surrounding native soils from migrating into the stone matrix, preserving the void spaces necessary for optimal water flow and long-term drainage efficiency.
