Frequently Asked Questions

How much 3/4" natural crushed stone do I need to order?

One cubic yard covers approximately 100 square feet at a 3-inch depth. To calculate your total requirements, multiply your project's length by width in feet, multiply by the depth in inches, and divide by 36.

How is this material sold and delivered?

This product is available in bulk for local pickup and delivery across Rhode Island, sold in convenient 0.5 cubic yard increments. Please note that minimum order requirements apply for delivery services.

Is this stone suitable for top-layer driveways?

Yes. Because of its angular shape and tight interlock, 3/4" crushed stone is widely used as a durable top-layer and base aggregate for unpaved driveways and parking pads.

Does this stone help with drainage?

Yes. Its open-graded structure contains minimal fine particles, allowing rainwater to pass through quickly for French drains, trenches, and general property drainage.

Pro Contractor Tip

When installing 3/4" crushed stone for driveways, shed pads, or base layers, apply the material in multiple 3-inch lifts and compact each layer thoroughly with a mechanical plate compactor. Proper multi-stage compaction locks the angular pieces together to prevent future settling under heavy weight.
