You can read more about #89 Crushed Stone in Georgia to understand how this material works across the state and what makes it the preferred choice for base layers and drainage.

Best Uses for Crushed Stone in Augusta

Common applications for #89 stone around Augusta include: driveway base layers (4 to 6 inches under the wearing surface), concrete pad foundations, French drain backfill, under decks and equipment pads, and retaining wall drainage. Contractors also use it for road repair work, parking lot rehabilitation, and any situation where a stable, fast-draining aggregate prevents water damage. The angular faces lock together better than rounded gravel, so the stone stays in place under traffic and settling.

Georgia heat means asphalt and concrete need proper drainage layers to prevent damage from trapped moisture. #89 stone excels at moving water away from your foundation and driveway surface. Residential work in Augusta often starts with #89 as a foundation layer. Measure your driveway (say, 20 feet long by 10 feet wide by 4 inches deep), calculate the tonnage, and place a delivery order.

Commercial projects may need multiple truckloads for larger parking areas or site prep. If your project involves mulch beds, pathway topping, or landscape color, you may want a different material. But for any load-bearing foundation or drainage application in Augusta, #89 stone is the choice.

Calculating Your Stone Needs

Most driveway base layers use 4 to 6 inches of stone, depending on soil and expected traffic. A simple formula: multiply your driveway length (feet) by width (feet) by desired depth (inches), then divide by 324. That gives you cubic yards. Since #89 stone weighs about 2,600 pounds per yard, you can estimate roughly 1.3 tons per cubic yard for quick budgeting.

Example: A 20-foot by 10-foot driveway at 4 inches deep equals 200 times 4, or 800, divided by 324, which is about 2.5 cubic yards, or roughly 3.25 tons. Round up to 4 tons for safety. For smaller projects like garden bed drainage or under-deck work, you may need just a few tons. For commercial site prep or parking lots, the totals climb quickly.

Use the calculator to estimate your exact needs based on your measurements. Enter your dimensions and the tool will show you tonnage options and delivery fees for different order sizes. Most homeowners find the calculator saves time and ensures accurate ordering.

About #89 Crushed Stone

Crushed stone at 3/8 inch is an angular, gray aggregate produced from quarried bedrock that is then screened to precise sizing. The jagged, broken faces are the key difference from naturally rounded river rock or pea gravel. When placed in a driveway or foundation, these angular pieces lock together under the weight of traffic and settling, creating a rigid matrix that does not shift underfoot. One cubic yard of this material weighs approximately 2,600 pounds, making a single ton roughly equivalent to 0.77 cubic yards. The heft and density make it far superior to lightweight materials like mulch, compost, or garden soil for any load-bearing purpose.

The open structure of locked, angular stone allows water to drain downward and outward instead of pooling and causing foundation or pavement damage. This drainage performance is why engineers specify crushed stone under concrete slabs, as backfill in French drains, around building foundations, and beneath retaining walls. In the warm Augusta climate, where rain and groundwater movement threaten outdoor structures, proper drainage is essential. This material is priced and sold by the ton. When you see pricing on this site, it is per ton, never per cubic yard.

How crews use #89 Crushed Stone in Augusta

The first is patio gravel, typically laid in tight urban lots and infill builds with a base lift compacted before the finish course goes on. The second is walkway gravel, which lands here in dense neighborhoods where curb access is short and usually ships as a 4 to 8 ton order. With a population around 202,081, Augusta pulls a mix of single-truck homeowner orders and contractor full-loads through the season.

Delivery day in Augusta

On the day of the drop, the dispatcher pulls the closest yard, batches your ticket with other Augusta 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 Mon-Sat, with same-day windows held open for orders that hit the desk before 11 AM and clear payment.
