Local Advantages for Peoria Projects
Peoria sits in a region where solid base materials are essential for durable construction. Illinois winters bring frost heave and spring thaw that can crack insufficiently supported slabs. Crushed stone provides the drainage and compaction density that concrete contractors depend on. Our delivery service means you avoid the expense and time of hauling material yourself from a distant supplier. For crushed stone delivery throughout Illinois, we offer competitive rates that reflect both local demand and the cost of bulk transportation to Central Illinois.

We work with you to find a delivery window that fits your construction schedule. Access to your property is important for planning, so let us know if there are narrow drives, steep grades, or utilities that our delivery truck should navigate carefully.
How Much #89 Crushed Stone Do You Need?
Calculate your stone quantity by knowing the area you're covering and the depth. #89 crushed stone weighs about 2,600 pounds per cubic yard, or approximately 1.3 tons per cubic yard. For a 12-foot-wide, 24-foot-long driveway with a 4-inch base layer, you would need roughly 7 cubic yards, or about 9 to 10 tons. For a smaller project like a 10-foot-by-10-foot patio base at 3 inches deep, estimate 1.2 cubic yards or about 1.5 tons. Use our calculator to estimate tonnage for your specific project dimensions. If you're unsure of your exact needs, describe the dimensions of your site and our team can help refine the estimate and suggest a practical order size.

About #89 Crushed Stone
#89 crushed stone is an angular aggregate made from limestone or granite, sized at 3/8 inch. The gray color and uniform particle size make it a top choice for structural and decorative applications. Its angular shape locks pieces together when compacted, creating stability in base layers and preventing shifting under weight. Unlike rounder pea gravel, #89 stone does not settle or migrate sideways, which is why contractors prefer it for driveways, parking lots, and foundations. The 3/8 inch size is coarse enough to drain well and fine enough to spread evenly. It is sold by the ton, with each ton covering roughly 100 to 150 square feet at a 2-inch depth depending on how tightly it is compacted. The material is inert and long-lasting, requiring occasional raking to level and refresh the surface as traffic or weather compacts the top layer.
What #89 Crushed Stone costs in Peoria
Around Peoria, #89 crushed stone is quoted by the ton with delivery layered in based on distance from the closest yard. Send your ZIP and load size and we will send back a same-hour quote with the truck rate and the per-ton figure spelled out. Plan on roughly 83 sq ft of coverage per ton at 3 inches deep, which puts a single-car driveway in the 4 to 8 ton bracket.
How crews use #89 Crushed Stone in Peoria
Peoria contractors keep #89 crushed stone on the order sheet for a short list of standard installs. Top of the list is patio gravel, where the material is rolled out on rural drives and acreage projects and screeded to grade. Right behind that is walkway gravel, common across longer driveways and outbuilding work and often paired with edging or fabric below the lift. Local Peoria orders cluster around the partial-truck range, with full loads booked for paving prep and base courses.
Delivery day in Peoria
Delivery in Peoria runs out of the nearest pit; you get a two hour arrival window the evening prior and a call when the driver leaves the scale. Plan for 12 ft of clear path for a tandem and 14 ft for a tri-axle, plus a level area at the dump point so the bed lifts straight. 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 is the difference between #89 crushed stone and pea gravel?
#89 crushed stone has angular edges that lock together, providing stability and preventing shifting, while pea gravel and recycled concrete sell by the ton.
How deep should I lay #89 crushed stone for a driveway?
For a residential driveway, lay 3 to 4 inches of #89 as the base layer before adding asphalt or concrete. A 4-inch depth provides solid support for passenger vehicles and light trucks. If your driveway will see heavy traffic or sits on soft soil, use 6 inches for extra stability. Compact the stone in layers as you add it for best results.
Can I order less than 3 tons of #89 crushed stone?
Our minimum order for delivery to Peoria is 3 tons. Orders below that are impractical for scheduling and delivery logistics. If you need a smaller amount, check with local landscape suppliers who may stock crushed stone by the bag or cubic yard for pickup.
Is #89 crushed stone delivered to my Peoria address?
Yes, we deliver throughout Peoria and nearby areas within our service radius. Delivery reaches most locations in and around the city. Provide your address when requesting a quote to confirm coverage and get an exact cost estimate for your specific location.
How long does delivery take once I place an order?
Delivery typically takes 1 to 2 business days for orders of 3 to 8 tons. Bulk orders of 15 tons or more may qualify for faster scheduling depending on our truck availability. Weekend and holiday schedules may affect timing. Confirm your delivery date when you finalize your order to plan your project accordingly.
What should I do to prepare my site for crushed stone delivery?
Clear the delivery area of obstacles, vehicles, and debris to give the truck full access. Mark any underground utilities, power lines, or buried irrigation so the driver avoids them. Grade the ground as level as you can so the material spreads without high and low spots. If the ground is soft or muddy, the truck may need extra space to maneuver safely.
Will #89 crushed stone compact under vehicle weight?
Yes, #89 will compact over time with traffic and settling. The angular shape provides initial stability, but expect slight settling in the first few months. Occasional raking and adding fresh stone to the surface keeps your driveway or base layer level. This settling is normal and does not affect the material's structural value or performance.
How is crushed stone measured and billed?
Crushed stone is sold and billed by the ton. We bill based on the weight delivered, not the volume. One ton covers roughly 100 to 150 square feet at a 2-inch depth depending on compaction. Always confirm the tonnage required for your project before ordering to ensure you have enough material and avoid shortages.
