About 3/8" Crushed Stone
3/8 inch crushed stone is angular gray stone screened down to a consistent three eighths inch size, small enough to compact tight but coarse enough to drain well. It weighs about 2,650 pounds per cubic yard, which is why it ships and prices by the ton rather than by volume. In Springfield, Pennsylvania, part of the greater Philadelphia area, this size is a common choice under pavers, along walkways, and as a top dressing over a compacted base because the small stone locks together once it is spread and tamped down.
Homeowners and contractors across this part of Pennsylvania, including nearby communities such as Philadelphia and Wilmington, use the same 3/8 inch grade for French drains and around drainage pipe, since the tight gradation keeps fine particles from washing into the pipe while still letting water pass freely. The gray color reads clean and neutral against brick and concrete, common finishes in this region, and it holds up better over time than mulch since it does not fade, rot, or need replacing. Once compacted, expect a firm, low dust surface with enough angularity to resist shifting under foot traffic or light vehicle weight.

Why choose 3/8 inch crushed stone over larger gravel?
The smaller, angular pieces compact tighter than larger gravel while still draining well, so finished surfaces look cleaner under patios, pavers, and walkways. It also settles evenly in tight spots, such as backfill behind retaining walls or bedding around drainage pipe, where bigger stone leaves gaps. For a stable base without large visible chunks, this size is the practical pick for most Springfield projects.
How much does 3/8 inch crushed stone weigh?
This material weighs about 2,650 pounds per cubic yard, which works out to roughly 1.3 tons per cubic yard. That weight is the reason it ships and prices by the ton instead of by volume. Knowing the weight per yard helps when you are comparing this material against lighter products like mulch or soil for the same project.
Is 3/8 inch crushed stone sold by the ton or the yard in Springfield?
It is sold by the ton. Stone and gravel are dense enough that pricing and delivery quantities are set by weight rather than volume, which keeps orders accurate no matter how the material settles in the truck. Every price and tier for this product on this page is quoted per ton.
How fast can I get crushed stone delivered to Springfield?
Speed depends on order size. Orders of 3 tons or more generally arrive in 1 to 2 business days. Once an order reaches 8 tons, delivery often moves to the same day or the next business day since larger loads slot directly onto routes already running through the Philadelphia area.
Is there a delivery fee for a small order?
Smaller orders carry a delivery fee that decreases as the order size increases. Once an order reaches the 15 ton tier, the delivery fee is waived entirely and the order ships free. Combining multiple smaller jobs into one larger order is the easiest way to avoid the fee altogether.
What color is this crushed stone?
It is gray. The neutral tone works well against brick, concrete, and most siding colors common in the Springfield area, which is part of why it is a popular choice for walkways, patio bases, and drainage projects where the stone stays visible once installed.
How do I figure out how many tons to order?
Measure the length and width of the area in feet and decide on a depth in inches, then run those numbers through the crushed stone calculator to get a cubic yard figure, which converts to tons using this material's density. Rounding up slightly covers compaction and uneven ground so you are not short on delivery day.
