Best Uses for Crushed Stone in Greensboro
Crushed stone compacts into a firm, well draining layer, which covers a wide range of project types around Greensboro:
- Driveways and parking pads that need a stable, all weather surface
- Base layers under pavers, slabs and shed floors
- French drains, footing backfill and trench drainage
- Walking paths, RV pads and equipment storage areas
- Filling low or eroded spots so water drains through instead of pooling
Greensboro delivery stocks #57 Crushed Stone as the standard graded size, a solid fit for driveways, drainage lines and general base work. It is a mid size stone, large enough to lock together under a compactor but small enough to spread and rake by hand for smaller jobs.
Pricing Notes for Greensboro

How Much Crushed Stone You Need
Multiply length in feet by width in feet by depth in inches, then divide by 324 to get cubic yards, and convert to tons using about 2,700 pounds per cubic yard. A 10 foot by 10 foot base at 3 inches deep works out to a little over 1 ton. To skip the manual math, the calculator turns the same length, width and depth figures into a ton count directly, without the conversion steps.
Ordering Crushed Stone in Greensboro
Run the project dimensions through the calculator to land on a ton count, then place the order against a Greensboro address. Rounding an order up toward the next pricing tier often costs about the same as ordering the bare minimum and arranging a second delivery later, and it removes the risk of running short mid project.
About Crushed Stone
Crushed stone is quarried rock that gets mechanically broken and screened into a graded size, then sold by the ton since delivered weight, not volume, is what a truck actually hauls. In Greensboro it is the standard material for driveways, drainage runs and compacted base layers, because the angular, fractured faces on each piece lock together under a plate compactor in a way that smooth, rounded gravel cannot match. A cubic yard weighs roughly 2,700 pounds once it settles into place.
Spread and compacted, gray crushed stone sheds water instead of holding it, so a Greensboro path or base built with it stays firm through wet stretches rather than turning soft. That makes it a dependable stand alone surface, a stable sub base under pavers or a slab, and clean backfill around footings and drain lines. The #57 grade stocked for Greensboro delivery covers most of these jobs without needing a specialty size ordered in separately.
What Crushed Stone costs in Greensboro
Local Greensboro yards quote crushed stone by the ton; the delivered number includes fuel, the truck, and the haul. Pricing in Greensboro starts at $102 per ton on full-truck loads, which works out to roughly $138 per cubic yard at the typical density of 2700 lb per yard. A ton of this material spreads across about 80 sq ft when laid 3 inches deep, useful when you are sizing a patio base or a walkway run. Stacked against the rest of NC, this market is a touch above the state average for crushed stone.
How crews use Crushed Stone in Greensboro
In and around Greensboro, crushed stone shows up most often on two project types. Most Greensboro loads land in the 4 to 8 ton range, with full trucks on the books for larger pads and drives.
Delivery day in Greensboro
A typical Greensboro drop is dispatched from the closest yard with a two hour window and a heads-up call once the truck is loaded. Tandem trucks want a 12 ft lane in and out; tri-axles need 14 ft, and both want firm ground at the tipping spot so the load releases cleanly. 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 #57 crushed stone typically used for in Greensboro?
#57 Crushed Stone is a mid size graded stone that compacts well under vehicle traffic, which makes it a common choice for driveways, parking pads and drainage runs around Greensboro. It also works as backfill around footings and drain lines where a firm, well draining fill is needed.
How fast does a large crushed stone order arrive in Greensboro?
Fifteen tons and up ships with free delivery on a schedule comparable to the 8 ton tier, which typically means same day or next day. Smaller 3 ton orders generally take 1 to 2 business days instead, since larger loads are routed with priority through the regional network.
Why does the price per ton fall as the order size grows?
Larger loads spread the delivery cost across more tons, so the rate per ton drops as the order grows. In Greensboro the price steps down from $216 per ton at 3 tons to $102 per ton at 15 tons and up, where the delivery fee is also waived entirely.
Does crushed stone delivery reach High Point and Winston Salem too?
Yes, High Point, Winston Salem, Durham and the rest of the central Piedmont sit inside the same regional delivery network that serves Greensboro, though each order ships to one address at a time. A separate order placed for any of those towns follows its own pricing tiers.
How much crushed stone do I need for a small drainage project?
A short trench drain or footing backfill run often needs well under a ton, but most deliveries are sized for a full project rather than a single trench. Measuring the length, width and depth of the run and entering those figures into the calculator gives an exact ton count before ordering.
Is crushed stone a good driveway base on its own?
Yes. #57 Crushed Stone compacts into a firm, load bearing layer that drains well, which is why it works as both a stand alone driveway surface and a base under pavers or asphalt. Compacting it in even layers rather than one deep pour gives the most stable result.
Can a delivery be dropped directly onto an existing gravel driveway?
Yes, as long as a truck has clear access to the site, a load can be dropped straight onto an existing driveway to top it up. Matching the new stone to whatever grade is already down keeps the surface even, so checking the current size before ordering is worth the extra step.
What happens if I order more crushed stone than I need in Greensboro?
Very little goes to waste. Crushed stone does not degrade sitting outdoors, so extra material stores fine for a future path, drainage fix or backfill job. Since pricing drops at higher quantities, rounding an order up to the next tier sometimes costs about the same as ordering short.
