Crushed Stone Delivery in Fort Worth: Sizes and Pricing
Bulk crushed stone delivered in Fort Worth, TX. Stone size varies. Gray color.
From $104/ton delivered, free delivery on full loads
Crushed stone delivery in Fort Worth moves gray, angular aggregate straight to the address, sold by the ton and priced lower per ton as the order size grows. Homeowners use it for driveways and drainage, contractors use it for base work under slabs and pavers, and both order it the same way: pick a size, estimate the tons, and schedule a drop.
Crushed Stone Delivery in Fort Worth
Fort Worth sits just under one million residents in the western half of the Dallas-Fort Worth-Arlington metro, with Arlington, Grand Prairie, Irving, Lewisville and Carrollton all within reach of the same delivery network. That reach matters for crushed stone, since heavier loads travel shorter distances more cheaply and a nearby delivery node keeps lead times short even on short notice orders.
Best Uses for Crushed Stone in Fort Worth
Crushed stone earns its place on most Fort Worth properties because it compacts into a stable surface and sheds water instead of trapping it. Common jobs include:
- Driveways and parking pads that need a firm, all weather surface
- Base layers under pavers, concrete slabs and shed pads
- French drains, footing backfill and drainage trenches
- Walking paths and equipment yards that see regular traffic
- Erosion control on slopes and low spots that hold water after rain

Delivery and Lead Times in Fort Worth
Smaller orders of 3 tons and up typically arrive in 1 to 2 business days, while orders of 8 tons and up often ship same day or next day. At 15 tons and up, delivery is free and still moves quickly, which suits contractors staging a base layer for a driveway or slab. Full details on trucks, minimums and coverage live on the page for delivery in Fort Worth.
How Much Crushed Stone You Need
Coverage depends on area and depth. 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 the material weight of roughly 2,700 pounds per cubic yard. A driveway section 20 feet long, 10 feet wide and 4 inches deep needs a little over 3 tons. Rather than run the math by hand, the the calculator converts area and depth into tons directly.
Pricing Notes for Fort Worth
Crushed stone is priced per ton, and the rate drops as the order grows, so it pays to buy close to what the job actually needs rather than ordering in several small batches. Every other size and blend listed above carries its own rate on its own Fort Worth page, and the broader picture for the state sits on Crushed Stone in Texas.
| Order Size | Price per Ton | Delivery |
|---|---|---|
| 3 tons and up | $217 | 1 to 2 business days, delivery fee applies |
| 8 tons and up | $129 | Same or next day, delivery fee applies |
| 15 tons and up | $104 | Free delivery |
Ordering Crushed Stone in Fort Worth
Settle on a size from the list above, run the square footage through the calculator to lock in a ton count, then place the order against a Fort Worth delivery address. Larger orders cost less per ton and drop the delivery fee entirely at 15 tons, so it is worth checking the full job quantity before splitting an order into smaller loads.
About Crushed Stone
Crushed stone is angular gray rock, mechanically fractured and screened, sold by the ton rather than by volume because the weight of a load can shift with moisture and grade. In Fort Worth it is the standard base and drainage material for driveways, patios, parking pads and French drains, because the broken, angular faces of each piece lock together under compaction and resist rutting far better than round river gravel. A cubic yard of crushed stone weighs about 2,700 pounds, so it packs into a firm, load bearing layer once spread and tamped.
Delivered gray crushed stone drains well, does not hold standing water the way soil does, and keeps its shape through freeze and thaw cycles and heavy rain. It works as a standalone driveway surface, as a compacted sub base under pavers, concrete or gravel, and as backfill around footings and drain lines. Because it is graded rather than a single uniform size, coverage depends on the exact product chosen, so match the size to the job before ordering a full load for a Fort Worth address.
What Crushed Stone costs in Fort Worth
In the Fort Worth market, crushed stone is sold by the ton and priced at the gate before delivery is added on. Pricing in Fort Worth starts at $104 per ton on full-truck loads, which works out to roughly $140 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, Fort Worth comes in lower than the typical posted rate.
How crews use Crushed Stone in Fort Worth
Crews working out of Fort Worth tend to call for crushed stone on a few repeat jobs each week. Order size in Fort Worth averages 4 to 8 tons for homeowner jobs and climbs into full-truck loads for contractor work.
Delivery day in Fort Worth
On the day of the drop, the dispatcher pulls the closest yard, batches your ticket with other Fort Worth 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 size crushed stone works best for a Fort Worth driveway?
Most Fort Worth driveways use #57 Crushed Stone or 3/4" Crushed Stone as a top layer over a compacted base, since both sizes lock together under traffic without shifting. Crusher Run is a common choice for the base layer underneath. Finer grades like #89 or 3/8" suit walkways more than vehicle traffic.
How quickly does a small crushed stone order arrive in Fort Worth?
Orders starting at 3 tons typically arrive within 1 to 2 business days. Stepping up to 8 tons or more usually moves the delivery window to same day or next day, since larger loads are scheduled with priority. Fifteen tons and up ships free and on a similarly fast timeline.
Does crushed stone cost less per ton at higher quantities?
Yes. Fort Worth pricing drops in three steps as order size grows, from $217 per ton at 3 tons up to $104 per ton at 15 tons and beyond, where delivery also becomes free. Ordering closer to the full job quantity in one delivery is usually cheaper than several small orders.
Can crushed stone be delivered to Arlington or Grand Prairie from the same order?
Delivery is scheduled to a single address, so an order placed for a Fort Worth site ships there. Arlington, Grand Prairie, Irving, Lewisville and Carrollton are all served by the same regional network, so a separate order to any of those cities follows the same pricing tiers and lead times.
What is the difference between #57 and #67 crushed stone?
Number 57 is a larger, chunkier grade often used for driveways, drainage and drain fields. Number 67 runs smaller and is a common choice under concrete slabs and in tighter fill situations where a finer, more compact surface is needed. Both are angular gray stone sold by the ton.
Is crusher run the same product as crushed stone?
Crusher run is part of the crushed stone family, but instead of one screened size it blends stone dust with small stone fragments. That mix compacts into a dense, stable base, which is why contractors reach for it under driveways and slabs rather than as a finished top surface.
Do I need a permit to have crushed stone delivered in Fort Worth?
That depends on the project and the property, not on the material itself, so check with the local building department before a large driveway or drainage job. A straightforward delivery to an existing driveway or yard for topping up material generally does not require anything beyond clear truck access.
What happens if I order more crushed stone than the job needs?
Extra crushed stone is not wasted since it stores fine outdoors and works for future drainage, path or backfill projects. Because pricing drops at higher quantities, rounding up slightly to reach the next tier, such as 8 tons instead of 7, can sometimes cost less than the smaller order.
