Crushed Stone

We deliver every grade

34 Stone

3/4" crushed stone is rock that's been broken down and screened so the pieces run about 3/4 inch or smaller. It's usually limestone, granite, or trap rock, depending on what's quarried near you. The pieces are angular, with sharp edges from the crusher. That's why they lock together under weight instead of rolling around.

The 3/4 in the name just tells you how big the pieces are. It says nothing about the type of rock. You'll sometimes see it sold as clean 3/4" stone when the dust has been washed out, or as 3/4 minus when the fines are left mixed in. Close cousins on the ASTM D448 chart are #57 and #67 stone, which cover overlapping size ranges. Price runs on the low end for construction rock since 3/4 is one of the most common sizes quarries make.

How to choose within 34 stone

Compaction over drainage

Angular pieces lock together. Pick a smaller size when you need the surface to stay put under a driveway or path.

Drainage over compaction

The larger the piece, the more room for water to move through. #1 or #57 for a French drain; #8 or smaller reads as loose gravel.

Washed vs. unwashed

Washed has the dust rinsed out, so it drains faster and won't track into the house. Unwashed compacts harder — better under a paver base.
