Crushed Stone Delivery in Austin
Austin holds close to a million residents across the Austin-Round Rock-Georgetown metro, with Round Rock, Killeen, San Antonio, College Station and Waco all connected through the same regional delivery network. That coverage keeps trucks running through the area on a regular schedule, which supports quick turnaround even on modest orders.
Best Uses for Crushed Stone in Austin
Crushed stone shows up across a wide range of Austin projects because it compacts firm and drains cleanly:
- Driveways and parking areas that need a stable, all weather surface
- Compacted base under pavers, patios and poured slabs
- French drains, footing backfill and drainage trenches
- Walking paths, dog runs and outdoor equipment areas
- Regrading spots where water pools after rain so it drains through instead
How Much Crushed Stone You Need
Take length in feet times width in feet times depth in inches, divide by 324 to get cubic yards, then convert to tons using the material's weight of roughly 2,700 pounds per cubic yard. A side yard path 25 feet long, 3 feet wide and 3 inches deep needs a bit under 1 ton. To skip that arithmetic, the calculator turns the same area and depth into a ton figure directly.
Delivery and Lead Times in Austin
Orders starting at 3 tons generally arrive in 1 to 2 business days. At 8 tons and up, delivery typically moves to same day or next day, and 15 tons and up ships with no delivery fee on a similar timeline. Coverage details and truck access requirements are on the page for delivery in Austin.
Pricing Notes for Austin
The per ton rate drops as order size increases, so one larger delivery generally beats splitting a project into several smaller loads. Every size below is priced on its own Austin page, and the statewide picture for this material sits on Crushed Stone in Texas.
| Order Size | Price per Ton | Delivery |
|---|---|---|
| 3 tons and up | $204 | 1 to 2 business days, delivery fee applies |
| 8 tons and up | $117 | Same or next day, delivery fee applies |
| 15 tons and up | $91 | Free delivery |
Crushed Stone Sizes Available in Austin
Crushed stone spans a range of grades rather than a single product, and Austin delivery covers the full set:
- #57 Crushed Stone, a standard driveway and drainage size
- #67 Stone, a smaller grade commonly placed under concrete
- #89 Crushed Stone, a fine size for pipe bedding and tight fill
- #4 Crushed Stone, a coarser stone for drainage and heavy base work
- 3/4" Crushed Stone, a flexible mid size for paths and drives
- 3/8" Crushed Stone, a finer grade suited to walkways
- Crusher Run, a mixed blend that compacts into a dense base
Ordering Crushed Stone in Austin
Settle on a grade from the sizes above, run the project's dimensions through the calculator to land on a ton figure, then place the order against an Austin delivery address. Checking the full job size before ordering is worth the extra minute, since crossing into the 8 ton or 15 ton tier lowers the price on every ton in the load.
About Crushed Stone
Crushed stone is quarried rock that has been mechanically crushed and screened into a set graded size, then sold by the ton because a delivered load is measured by weight, not by scoop count. Around Austin it is the go to material for driveways, drainage runs and compacted base layers, since the fractured, angular shape of each piece locks against its neighbors under compaction in a way that smooth, rounded river gravel cannot match. A cubic yard of the material weighs approximately 2,700 pounds once it is spread and settled.
Once tamped into place, gray crushed stone lets water pass through instead of pooling on the surface, so it holds its shape through heavy rain rather than turning soft the way bare soil does. It works as a finished driveway surface by itself, as a compacted sub base under pavers or a poured slab, and as clean backfill around footings, retaining walls and drain lines. Since the category covers several distinct sizes rather than one product, picking the right grade before an Austin delivery keeps both coverage and the final bill on target.
What Crushed Stone costs in Austin
In the Austin market, crushed stone is sold by the ton and priced at the gate before delivery is added on. Pricing in Austin starts at $91 per ton on full-truck loads, which works out to roughly $123 per cubic yard at the typical density of 2700 lb per yard. One ton covers about 80 sq ft at a 3 inch finished depth, so a 400 sq ft driveway pad runs roughly 5 tons. Compared to the TX state average for crushed stone, Austin comes in lower than the typical posted rate.
How crews use Crushed Stone in Austin
Crews working out of Austin tend to call for crushed stone on a few repeat jobs each week. Order size in Austin averages 4 to 8 tons for homeowner jobs and climbs into full-truck loads for contractor work.
Delivery day in Austin
On the day of the drop, the dispatcher pulls the closest yard, batches your ticket with other Austin stops, and sends a window the night before. Tandem-axle dumps need at least 12 ft of clear width and 14 ft overhead to set the bed; tri-axles need 14 ft of clearance on both counts and a level pad to tip safely. Standard lead time on this lane is 24-48h, with same-day windows held open for orders that hit the desk before 11 AM and clear payment.

What crushed stone size works best for an Austin driveway?
#57 Crushed Stone and 3/4" Crushed Stone are the most common driveway surfaces, since both compact into a firm layer that resists rutting under vehicle weight. Crusher Run is the usual base material underneath. Finer grades such as #89 or 3/8" suit foot paths better than daily vehicle traffic.
How long does a large crushed stone order take to arrive in Austin?
Orders of 15 tons and up ship with free delivery on a schedule similar to the 8 ton tier, which typically means same day or next day. Smaller 3 ton orders usually take 1 to 2 business days instead, since larger loads are routed with priority through the delivery network.
Why does crushed stone get cheaper per ton at higher quantities?
A bigger load spreads the delivery cost across more tons, which pulls the per ton rate down. In Austin the price steps from $204 per ton at 3 tons to $91 per ton at 15 tons and up, where the delivery fee is also removed entirely from the order.
Does the same delivery network cover Round Rock and San Antonio?
Yes, Round Rock, Killeen, San Antonio, College Station and Waco are all part of the same regional network that serves Austin. Every order still ships to one address at a time, so a delivery placed for any of those cities runs on that city's own pricing and lead times.
What is #89 crushed stone used for?
#89 Crushed Stone is one of the finer graded sizes, and it is chosen for pipe bedding, tight backfill around utility lines, and situations where a coarser stone would leave gaps. It is less common as a driveway surface since the smaller pieces shift more easily underfoot.
Is crusher run suitable for a patio base in Austin?
Yes. Crusher run mixes stone fragments with fine material, and that blend compacts into a dense, stable layer, which is exactly what a patio or paver base needs before the finished surface goes down. It is not typically used as the visible top layer on its own.
Can I get a delivery quote before ordering crushed stone?
Pricing is based on the delivery address and the ton quantity, so entering a project's location and size gives an accurate figure before committing to an order. The tiered rates above cover the general pattern, with the per ton price dropping at the 8 ton and 15 ton thresholds.
What happens if leftover crushed stone sits outside after the project?
Crushed stone does not break down sitting outdoors, so any extra material stays usable for a future path, drainage repair or backfill job. Since larger orders cost less per ton, rounding up to the next pricing tier sometimes ends up close in total cost to ordering the exact amount.
