Frequently Asked Questions
How much area does a ton of crushed stone cover?
About 100 square feet at 2 inches deep, 67 square feet at 3 inches, 50 square feet at 4 inches. Calculate by: (2000 lb / density in lb/ft³) / depth in feet. Suppliers commonly sell by the ton; smaller bags by 50lb.
Tons or cubic yards when ordering?
Most stone yards sell by the ton. Truck delivery is also priced per ton (typically 10-20 tons per truck). Calculate cubic yards first, then convert to tons using your stone's density. Don't double-pay by ordering both quantities.
Do I need a permit for a stone driveway?
Usually no for residential maintenance. New driveway installations connecting to a public road may require a curb-cut permit. Check with your local public works or zoning department before excavating.
