Stone Dust (Screenings) in Greater Cleveland
Stone dust, also called screenings or crusher dust, is the fine particles left over from crushing larger stone. In the Cleveland area, this gray material is a workhorse for contractors and homeowners preparing ground surfaces. Its tightly packed nature makes it ideal for creating stable, compacted bases.
Delivered stone dust arrives by the ton from Stone Dust (Screenings) in Ohio (link up to the state hub once) yards. Cleveland's building growth over the past two decades has kept demand steady for base materials. Whether you need a few tons for a small repair or 15 or more for a major project, stone dust fits into driveways, parking areas, and foundation prep work.
Common Uses for Screenings in Cleveland
Stone dust works best in applications where compaction and drainage matter. Many Cleveland contractors use screenings to level ground before pouring concrete or laying stone. The material packs down firmly, which is why utility crews also favor it for trench backfill and stabilization work.
Residential customers often order screenings for driveway underlayment or to fill low spots in yards. The fine size grabs and holds, reducing settling over time. It's also effective for dust control on unpaved surfaces, keeping mud and loose soil from spreading onto nearby grass or paved areas.
Delivery and Lead Times in Cleveland
Your stone dust typically ships within 1 to 2 business days for orders of 3 to 8 tons. For Cleveland projects with 8 tons or more, same-day or next-day delivery may be available. Customers ordering 15 tons or more qualify for free delivery in the Cleveland area, with standard delivery speeds.
The fee schedule reflects the cost to move weight over distance. Smaller orders incur a higher delivery charge per ton, while bulk orders of 15 or more tons spread that cost across more material. Always confirm your address and ZIP code when placing an order. Our engine calculates delivery from your specific location and arrival window.
Calculating Tonnage for Your Project
A basic rule for driveway base: multiply length (feet) times width (feet) times desired depth (inches), then divide by 324 to get cubic yards. Stone dust weighs about 2,800 pounds per cubic yard, so a typical cubic yard equals roughly 1.4 tons. For a 20-foot driveway that is 10 feet wide and 4 inches deep, you'd need roughly 2.5 cubic yards or about 3.5 tons.
Use the calculator, once, inside the how-much-you-need section to plug in your dimensions and get an instant estimate. Overestimating slightly is wise, because compaction reduces the final depth. If you're unsure, get a quote and our team can clarify the amount during the order process.
Pricing for Stone Dust in Cleveland
Stone dust is sold by the ton. At 2-ton minimum orders, the per-ton rate is $176. At 8 tons, the per-ton rate drops to $89. Orders of 15 tons or more pay $64 per ton with free delivery.
Prices can vary slightly by ZIP code and season, so request a quote for your exact location. Check delivery in Cleveland (the city delivery page) to verify service to your address and confirm final pricing and timing.

What is the difference between stone dust and sand?
Stone dust is crushed from larger stone and contains a mix of fine particles, whereas sand is naturally weathered or cleaned angular particles. Stone dust tends to pack and compact more solidly, making it better for base layers. Sand drains more freely and works better in landscaping or drainage applications.
Can I use stone dust for a gravel driveway?
Stone dust works well as the bottom layer of a multi-layer driveway, providing a solid, compacted base. Top it with pea gravel or crushed stone for a finished appearance. This layered approach gives you both stability and visual appeal.
How long does stone dust last?
Once compacted properly, stone dust lasts for years. It may settle or compress slightly over time, especially in high-traffic areas, but it does not degrade like organic mulch. You may need to add fresh material every few years depending on use and weather.
Is stone dust good for dust control?
Yes. Spreading stone dust on unpaved roads or parking areas binds the surface and reduces blowing dust and mud. Water it lightly to help it settle, and it will hold together better in dry conditions than loose soil or gravel.
How much does stone dust weigh per ton?
Stone dust weighs about 2,800 pounds per cubic yard, which means roughly 1.4 tons per cubic yard. A full truck load of 3 tons covers about 2 cubic yards when spread and compacted to 4 inches.
Do I need a permit to use stone dust for a driveway?
Many areas require a permit for driveway work, so check with your local Cleveland building department before starting. They may have rules about materials, drainage, and setbacks. Mentioning that you are using stone dust for base may help with permit approvals.
Can stone dust be used in rain?
Stone dust compacts best when the ground is damp but not waterlogged. Heavy rain can make spreading and leveling difficult. If heavy rain is forecast, delay delivery until conditions improve, or spread and compact the material before wet weather arrives.
What should I do if my stone dust shipment arrives early?
If the truck arrives before you are ready, ask the driver to park nearby if possible, or reschedule the delivery for a more convenient time. Confirm the tonnage and material before the truck leaves, and inspect for any damage or shortages.
