Sizes, common uses and current prices from our price list.
Pick two materials to see them side by side.
Neither material is "better". The right choice depends on the project and site conditions. Prices are per cubic yard, delivery extra.

How big is that material?
Everyday objects for a rough sense of scale.
The numbers identify different ranges of stone sizes. They are not quality ratings. #89 isn't better than #57; it is a smaller material. Pick a size to compare.

The bigger gravel
#57 limestone
Think roughly dime-to-quarter-sized pieces. Natural stone varies, so some pieces will be smaller or larger.

Large rock
3–6" rip rap
Think roughly baseball to grapefruit-sized rocks. Because this is natural material, the pieces are not uniform and some can be larger.

Extra-large rock
8–12" rip rap
Think roughly grapefruit to small-melon-sized rocks. These are substantial individual rocks, and actual loads commonly contain pieces larger than the stated size range.

About these sizes: the objects are rough comparisons to help you picture the material, not exact measurements, grading specifications or guarantees. The drawings on each card are enlarged so they are easy to see and are not to scale with each other. Natural stone varies. For rip rap, 3–6" and 8–12" are nominal, general size ranges, not a guarantee that every individual rock falls within those dimensions, and our loads often contain larger pieces.

Prepare for delivery
Getting ready for a material delivery?
Answer what you can. “Not sure” is a fine answer; photos help us check.
Not sure about access? That's normal. Photos of the drop spot and the route from the street let us check before delivery day.
Send Us Access PhotosThis checklist helps you prepare. It does not guarantee access or delivery; final access and safety decisions depend on conditions on the day. Never move utility lines or enter unsafe areas yourself.
