Crushed stone is the layer that carries everything above it. On a driveway it sits under the surface course and over the native ground, spreading the load so the top does not rut. On a patio it is the base that keeps the pavers from rocking.
What you pick depends on what sits above and below. A base under pavers wants a different size than a drainage trench, and the wrong one costs you a rebuild. Big Bear Lake gets about 20 inches of precipitation a year, so how water leaves the site matters as much as the stone itself.
Crushed stone sizes delivered in Big Bear Lake
The numbers are sieve sizes, not grades. Bigger numbers are not better stone, they are smaller stone. Read the range beside each product and match it to the job you have in mind.
| Product | What it is for | Note |
|---|---|---|
| 3/4" Crushed Stone | Driveway and road base, construction foundations, drainage, wall backfill | The standard base stone for most residential work, packs well under compaction. |
| 3/8" Crushed Stone | Walkways and patio surfaces, driveway top dressing, pipe bedding | Small enough to walk on comfortably, still angular enough to lock together. |
| #57 Stone | Concrete aggregate, French drains, wall backfill, driveway surfaces | Roughly 3/4 to 1 inch, the common choice for drainage and concrete mixes. |
| #67 Stone | Concrete aggregate, drainage and infiltration, pipe bedding | Slightly finer than #57, drains well and beds pipe without crushing it. |
| #89 Crushed Stone | Paver and flagstone joints, chip seal, concrete mixes, walkway bedding | Fine stone for tight joints and level bedding under flatwork. |
| #8 Crushed Stone | Permeable paver base and joints, drainage layers, concrete aggregate | About 3/8 to 1/2 inch, sized for permeable systems and drainage layers. |
| #4 Crushed Stone | Heavy-duty base, erosion control, high-volume drainage, gabion fill | Roughly 1 to 2 inches, for loads and flows that smaller stone cannot hold. |
| Stone Screenings | Paver and flagstone bedding, base leveling, joint filling, compacted paths | The finest grade here, used to level and lock the surface course. |
How deep to go, job by job, in Big Bear Lake
Depth drives the order more than footprint does. Work from the shallowest application down, and size each layer to what sits on top of it.
| Project | What to order | Depth or note |
|---|---|---|
| Bedding a pipe run | #67 Stone or 3/8" Crushed Stone | Envelope the pipe so it is supported evenly along its length. |
| A paver patio build-up | #8 Crushed Stone with Stone Screenings | Open-graded base below, screenings as the leveling bed under the pavers. |
| A concrete pour | #57 Stone or #67 Stone | Aggregate for the mix, sized to the slab and reinforcement. |
| A French drain | #57 Stone or #4 Crushed Stone | Washed stone around the pipe, sized to the trench and the flow. |
| A driveway base layer | 3/4" Crushed Stone | Compacted in lifts, crowned so water leaves the surface. |
What the ground under 92315 means for a crushed stone order
The survey point near the centre of this ZIP falls in a soil that takes water in very slowly, so most rain runs across the surface rather than soaking down. That makes drainage and a deeper base matter more here than they would on freer ground. Judge drainage at your actual site, because one sampled point does not describe every parcel.
ZIP 92315 covers about 29.37 square miles of land, so two addresses in this ZIP can be far apart. The delivery address matters more than the ZIP does. This ZIP's centre sits about 3.3 miles from the centre of the city it is named for, and the climate and soil figures here were read at this ZIP, not at the city centre.
About 32 days a year drop below freezing here, which shapes the work window and how much the ground moves. Ground freezing is not a significant factor in this area, so the base layer does not need to be sized for frost heave. Without a deep freeze to lift it, a base laid here settles on its own schedule rather than the calendar's.
Working out how much crushed stone your Big Bear Lake project needs
Quantity comes from area times depth, then a margin for compaction and spillage. Run the footprint and the layer depth through the crushed stone calculator before you order, because a base that comes up short means a second delivery. If you are weighing a rounded stone against an angular one for a path or a bed, pea gravel compared with crushed stone explains where each one belongs.
Bulk stone arrives as a truck load tipped in one pile, not as bags, so the quantity is worked out once and delivered whole. The price shown at checkout already includes delivery, with the ZIP entered there. That is the shape of the cost question: it scales with how much you order, not with how many bags you carry.
How American Rock Supply takes a crushed stone order for Big Bear Lake
Access decides whether the load reaches your spot, so settle that before anything else.
- Choose the crushed stone size and the quantity you need, using the material calculators if you want a second check.

- Order online and watch for the email confirmation, then the team's follow-up to confirm the date.
Delivery is free on every order, and the how delivery works page covers the schedule in full. If anything about the order is unclear, the ordering questions page answers the common ones, and the full product range shows every size side by side.
What happens when the truck reaches your Big Bear Lake address
A dump truck brings the stone and leaves it in a pile on the spot you mark. Unloading takes about 10 to 15 minutes. The truck needs an access path at least 12 feet wide with no low branches or overhead wires, and the standard drop is the driveway or accessible ground beside it. A back yard only works if a truck can reach it over clear, flat ground.
Clear the area before the truck arrives and mark the exact dump spot with a cone or flag. Keep a phone reachable, because the driver may call or text to confirm placement. About 24 days a year bring at least a tenth of an inch of rain here, so schedule onto firm ground rather than a soft shoulder.
Other materials Big Bear Lake jobs order with crushed stone
- Driveway Gravel for the surface course that sits on top of a crushed stone base.
- Drainage Rock where a trench or French drain needs larger, open stone.
- Sand for bedding and leveling where a finer material finishes the build-up.
Crushed stone questions from Big Bear Lake buyers
How much crushed stone do I need for a project in Big Bear Lake?
Work out the footprint in square feet, multiply by the layer depth in feet, then add a margin for compaction. The crushed stone calculator does that arithmetic for you. Because about 32 days a year drop below freezing here, plan the work window around the ground rather than the calendar.
Do you deliver crushed stone to Big Bear Lake, CA 92315?
Yes. American Rock Supply delivers nationwide through a network of local suppliers, and the delivery address is entered at checkout. ZIP 92315 covers about 29.37 square miles of land, so give the full address rather than the ZIP alone. Choose a date at least two business days out, on a weekday.
What do the stone numbers mean?
The numbers are sieve sizes, not grades. #4 is roughly 1 to 2 inches, #57 is 3/4 to 1 inch, #8 is about 3/8 to 1/2 inch, and #89 is finer still. Bigger numbers are not better stone, they are smaller stone.
What size should I order?
Match the size to the layer, not to a preference. Base under pavers or a driveway takes 3/4" Crushed Stone or #8 Crushed Stone, drainage takes #57 Stone or #4 Crushed Stone, and joints and bedding take Stone Screenings. If you are unsure, order the size the layer above it needs.

Crushed stone does one thing better than anything else on the list: it carries a load and lets water through at the same time. That is why it sits under driveways, patios and drains rather than on top of them.
Measure the footprint and the layer depth first, then size the order with the calculator. Start from the Big Bear Lake delivery page or the San Bernardino County coverage page.
