Enter your area and depth and we'll estimate the tonnage.
Estimate includes no waste factor. Density changes with moisture and compaction; ordering 5–10% extra is common for field variation.
Delivery specifications
- Truck capacity
- Up to 16 tons per load
- Order minimum
- 5 tons
- Recommended access
- 12 ft wide, firm and level
- Overhead clearance
- 14 ft on approach; more at dump point
- Material handling
- Keep the load separate and provide firm, clear delivery access; confirm availability and exact grade.
Keep the dump area clear of people, vehicles, soft ground, septic systems, and overhead utilities. The driver makes the final safe-placement decision on arrival.

Where it works
Applications to discuss with your installer: Utility trench bedding, concrete batches. Confirm source specifications and project approval before use.
When to choose something else
Rounded stone moves under wheels and feet; angular stone behaves differently. Neither is automatically a substitute for compactable road base.
Before it arrives
Plan edging and drainage, remove weeds and prepare the base. Choose separation fabric for the site rather than assuming every installation needs it.
Placement & installation
Spread to the depth your project requires. Ask for a current sample to judge particle size, walking comfort and color before ordering a large quantity.
Care over time
Rake displaced stone back into place, remove debris and weeds, and top up thin areas. Surface dust can change the apparent color until rinsed by rain.
Confirm with the source
Check approval under specified pipe standard. Clean versus minus grade, nominal size range, angular versus rounded shape and current source appearance.
General planning guidance. Supplier specifications, project plans and site conditions determine suitability and installation requirements.
