#67 Stone Delivery in Grand Prairie, TX

#67 Stone Delivery in Grand Prairie

#67 Stone in Grand Prairie serves as the foundation for durable driveways, stable bases and effective drainage systems across this fast-growing Dallas-Fort Worth suburb. Grand Prairie sits between Arlington and Irving within the larger DFW metro, so contractors here frequently work with tight lot lines, alley access points and the need to stabilize ground before it experiences weather stress. This angular gray stone, screened to a consistent three quarter to one inch size, locks in place under compaction instead of rolling around. That fundamental difference is exactly what a metro-area driveway base needs when the ground underneath is inconsistent.

The Dallas-Fort Worth region has seen rapid residential and commercial growth, which means many properties in Grand Prairie sit on clay or mixed soils that do not drain naturally. Older residential areas have clay-heavy ground, while newer development often involves fill that has not settled completely. In both cases, a properly compacted base of angular #67 stone provides the stable, fast-draining foundation that vehicles, weather and foot traffic will not compromise.

Best Uses for #67 Stone Around Grand Prairie

This material earns its keep as a load-bearing base wherever stability and drainage matter:

• Driveway bases under asphalt, pavers or gravel topping
• French drains and foundation drainage around older homes
• Backfill for retaining walls and utility trenches
• Base layers under concrete slabs, sheds and equipment pads
• Slope stabilization and drainage swales

In a metro area with tight lots and alley access, a properly compacted base of #67 Stone stays put instead of shifting or settling the way finer material does. Contractors working driveways, drainage runs or retaining walls across Grand Prairie typically order in the 8 to 15 ton range to reach the better per-ton rate. Residential properties near shopping centers, office parks and the airport all depend on this material because it handles both the climate and the building pace of the area.

How Much #67 Stone You Need

Since this material is sold by the ton, figuring your order starts with volume and ends with weight. For cubic yards, multiply length in feet by width in feet by depth in inches, then divide by 324. A typical Grand Prairie driveway base of 20 by 40 feet at 4 inches deep works out to about 9.9 cubic yards. This stone weighs roughly 2,650 pounds per cubic yard, so that driveway comes to close to 13 tons once you convert. Run your own measurements through the calculator before you order, since lot size, depth and compaction all change the number.

Small residential jobs, such as a single drainage trench or a shed pad, usually land at the 3 to 8 ton range, while a full driveway tear-out and rebuild tends to land at the 8 to 15 ton range or above it. The tiered pricing rewards larger orders, so contractors planning multiple projects close together often combine them into one delivery to hit a better per-ton rate. Commercial work and multi-family retrofits often require the 15 ton tier and qualify for free delivery.

Delivery and Lead Times in Grand Prairie

Order 3 tons or more and delivery typically lands within 1 to 2 business days. Order 8 tons and up, and you get same-day or next-day delivery. Reach 15 tons and the delivery fee vanishes. Tight streets and narrow driveways are normal in this metro area, so it helps to have someone on site who can point out exactly where the load should drop before the truck arrives. Street parking restrictions, alternate-side rules, and tight alley access limit where the truck can go, so verify these before the scheduled window rather than on the day of delivery. Full scheduling detail and load limits are covered on the page for delivery in Grand Prairie.

Pricing and Bulk Tiers

Pricing runs on a straightforward tiered scale that drops as the order gets bigger. Your final delivery rate depends on the specific address and is locked in when you input your ZIP. The per-ton price gets better as you move up the tiers, and delivery charges step down until they disappear at 15 tons.

About #67 Stone

#67 Stone is an angular, gray aggregate crushed and screened to a consistent three quarter to one inch size, making it ideal for the durable, well-drained base layers that Grand Prairie's driveway projects demand. Its jagged angular shape locks together when compacted, making it ideal for driveway bases, French drains, and retaining wall backfill and any load-bearing layer that needs to stay put under weight. Crushed stone runs about 2,650 pounds per cubic yard and is priced by the ton.

It drains quickly, stands up to frost heave better than sand or silt, and stays solid instead of turning to mud like weaker stones. Contractors across the Dallas-Fort Worth region use it under concrete slabs, sidewalks, sheds and utility trenches, as well as for erosion control on slopes and drainage swales. For smaller jobs,leveling low spots, creating shed bases, or fixing foundation drainage,crushed stone does the same structural work.

Since the stone is angular rather than rounded, it should be compacted in layers rather than simply dumped and left to settle, which keeps the base stable once weight is added. It holds its shape well through seasonal temperature changes and heavy moisture, which matters for any base layer that needs to perform over years of use.

Second on the list is patio gravel, which we see in dense neighborhoods where curb access is short on partial-truck deliveries. At roughly 196,100 people, the Grand Prairie order mix leans toward 3 to 8 ton residential drops with the occasional 16 ton job for a contractor.

Delivery day in Grand Prairie

A typical Grand Prairie 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 Mon-Sat, with same-day windows held open for orders that hit the desk before 11 AM and clear payment.
