How to install 3/8″ Crushed Stone
-
1
Excavate
Strip topsoil to 6-10", with the depth set by traffic and the frost line in your area.
-
2
Lay geotextile fabric
Optional but worth it; a woven separator stops the base from migrating into native soil.
-
3
Spread base layer
Spread the stone in 2-3 inch lifts and compact each lift with a plate compactor before adding the next.
-
4
Crown the surface
Crown the top ~1/4" per foot toward the edges so water sheds.

Used 4 tons as the final top layer on a crushed stone driveway over a coarser base. Packs down tight and rides smooth, way better than the loose rounded gravel that was there. There were more fines than I expected, so the first week was pretty dusty until a couple of rains settled it. Delivery itself was easy, the driver dropped it in the spot I flagged.

We had a mud pit where the dogs ran. Laid fabric and spread 3 tons of the 3/8 inch crushed stone about three inches deep. Small enough to be comfortable on paws, big enough not to track into the house much. Drains fast, hose it off and it is clean again. Driver called before arriving and dumped right on the tarp by the side gate.

Two tons for the paths between our raised beds. This 3/8 stone rakes out level in minutes and firms up under foot after a few days, so the wheelbarrow does not sink. Gray color looks tidy against the cedar beds. Delivered on time, nice driver, and he was careful backing past the flower bed by the driveway.
