#67 Stone Delivery in Cincinnati, OH

Urban #67 Stone Delivery in Cincinnati

Cincinnati's dense neighborhoods, older housing stock and tight lot lines create specific challenges for driveway and drainage work. #67 Stone, an angular gray aggregate screened to three quarters to one inch, solves them. Its sharp edges interlock under compaction, creating a stable base that handles vehicle weight without shifting or rolling. This matters especially in Cincinnati's older residential areas where clay soils, inconsistent fill and limited space demand a material that stays put even under Ohio's seasonal stress.

The Cincinnati area sits on clay and glacial soils that do not drain naturally. Older homes often have clay-heavy ground, while properties near the Ohio River face additional drainage challenges. An angular, load-bearing stone like #67 drains fast enough to prevent pooling under driveways and patios, which prevents freeze-thaw damage that affects concrete and asphalt across Ohio winters. When properly compacted in layers, this stone creates an interlocked base that resists settlement.

Best Uses for #67 Stone in Cincinnati

Urban and suburban properties throughout the Cincinnati metro rely on this stone for structural and drainage work:

• Driveway bases under asphalt, pavers or gravel topping
• French drains and foundation drainage around city homes
• Backfill for retaining walls in tight yards
• Base layers under concrete pads, sheds and utility access
• Drainage swales and slope stabilization

Cincinnati's urban contractors and homeowners frequently order between 8 and 15 tons to reach the better per-ton pricing and combine their projects efficiently. Tight lot access is normal in the city and older suburbs, so planning your delivery point ahead of time helps the truck position the load correctly on the first pass. Multi-family properties and commercial buildings benefit from planning multiple projects to hit the bulk pricing tier.

How Much #67 Stone You Need

Calculate your project by taking length times width times depth in inches, then dividing by 324 to find cubic yards. Since this stone weighs about 2,650 pounds per cubic yard, a standard urban driveway of 20 by 40 feet at 4 inches deep comes to approximately 13 tons. Run your numbers through the calculator before you order, since lot size, depth and proper compaction all change the final tonnage significantly.

Small residential jobs, such as a single drainage trench, usually run 3 to 8 tons, while a full driveway rebuild tends toward 8 to 15 tons or above it. Larger orders qualify for free delivery once they hit 15 tons, which is a significant savings for anyone doing multiple projects or commercial work across the city or suburbs.

Delivery and Lead Times in Cincinnati

Order 3 tons or more and delivery typically arrives within 1 to 2 business days. Step up to 8 tons or more and that moves to same or next day service. Once your order reaches 15 tons, the delivery charge drops away entirely. Cincinnati's narrow streets and tight alleys are normal, so confirm truck access, driveway width and any overhead wires before the scheduled window. Mark exactly where the load should go, since repositioning once the stone is on the ground is difficult in urban lots. Full details on access, timing and load limits are available on the page for delivery in Cincinnati.

Pricing and Tiered Rates

Pricing drops as your order grows. Your exact delivered rate depends on your ZIP code and order size. Per-ton prices step down at each tier, and delivery charges fall away at 15 tons, rewarding customers who order in bulk or combine multiple projects into one delivery to reach better pricing.

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 Cincinnati's urban and suburban driveway projects demand. Unlike naturally rounded gravel, its sharp faces interlock under compaction, which is why it is the standard choice for driveway bases, French drains, retaining wall backfill and any load-bearing layer that needs to stay put under weight and seasonal stress.

This material weighs about 2,650 pounds per cubic yard and is sold by the ton rather than the yard. It drains fast, resists frost heave better than finer materials, and does not break down into mud the way some softer stones do over time. Contractors and homeowners throughout Cincinnati use it under concrete slabs, sidewalks, sheds and utility trenches, as well as for slope stabilization and drainage swales. The angular shape means it should be compacted in layers rather than simply dumped and left to settle.

It holds its shape well through seasonal temperature changes and heavy moisture, which matters for any base layer that must perform reliably in Cincinnati's humid summers and freezing winters. Urban and suburban properties with tight access benefit especially from its stability because once compacted, it does not migrate or shift the way rounded materials do.

How crews use #67 Stone in Cincinnati

In and around Cincinnati, #67 stone shows up most often on two project types. The most common deployment is driveway gravel, often in tight urban lots and infill builds in two to three inch lifts. Second on the list is patio gravel, which we see in dense neighborhoods where curb access is short on partial-truck deliveries. At roughly 309,317 people, the Cincinnati order mix leans toward 3 to 8 ton residential drops with the occasional 16 ton job for a contractor.

Delivery day in Cincinnati

A typical Cincinnati 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.
