FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS: 

1. What do you mean by "size" or "grade" of crushed stone?
Mundy limestone is crushed and then separated, or screened, by size; 2" stones, 1" stones, ½" stones, etc. These various sizes are then blended back together in specified proportions to make "grades" of crushed stone. These grades are designed for specific purposes. Mundy Quarries adheres to the standard VDOT grading system which uses a numbering system to describe the different grades. WVDOH grades are also produced.

2. What are the various grades?  Some of the most popular grades are #26 (a blend of sizes from 1" to 1/200") used on driveways, #57 (1" to ¼") used in concrete, #78 (1/2" to ¼") used in asphalt and on driveways and 21A (1" to 1/200" centrally mixed) for roadway and parking lot bases.

3. What grade do I need on my driveway?  If your driveway is rutted or potholed, try #26 or #21A to pack into and stabilize the problem areas. If the driveway is smooth and solid, then #68 or #78 will provide a great top-dressing.

4. What should I use for a muddy soft spot on my farm lane?  #2 (3") stone or #3 (2") stone will stabilize a wet, muddy area.

5. How much do I need?  Mundy stone is sold by the ton. Use the handy stone calculator to figure out how much you need. If you do not have a Java enabled browser click here.
