It also provides a stable base for driveways, walkways, foundations, and paver installations, while serving as an important component in concrete, asphalt, and drainage projects.

#26 Brownstone Aggregate is designed to compact into a firm, stable surface. It is commonly used for walking paths, patio paver bases, stepping stones, athletic infields, concrete slab bases, driveways, and parking lots. It is also used in concrete and asphalt production.

#26 Bluestone Aggregate combines a distinctive blue-gray appearance with excellent compaction properties. Popular applications include pathways, garden beds, decorative ground cover, paver bases, heavy-duty site work, and use in concrete and asphalt mixes.

#68 Brownstone Aggregate is often selected for walking paths, patio and paver bases, stepping stone installations, athletic fields, driveways, parking areas, and concrete slab bases. Its smaller size creates a compact, durable surface while also making it suitable for concrete and asphalt mixes.

#78 Pea Gravel is widely used for landscaping, decorative stone projects, walkways, patios, playgrounds, drainage systems, French drains, road bases, and utility backfill applications. Its rounded appearance makes it a popular choice for both functional and decorative projects.

#3 Brownstone Aggregate is a larger stone designed for heavy-duty drainage and structural applications. Common uses include French drains, septic systems, railroad ballast, erosion control projects, retaining walls, and large driveway bases.

#5 Brownstone Aggregate is frequently used as a decorative filler, retaining wall base, pathway base, driveway foundation, road base, paver base, and as a supporting layer beneath concrete slabs.

Masonry Sand is a fine, smooth sand commonly used as a bedding material for pavers and stepping stones. It is also an important ingredient in mortar mixes for brick, block, and natural stone construction projects.

Concrete Sand is a washed, coarse sand used in concrete production, road construction, foundations, drainage applications, fill projects, paver bases, and outdoor hardscape installations. Its versatility makes it one of the most widely used construction sands.

Crushed stone products are typically the best choice for driveways because they compact well and provide a stable surface. The ideal material depends on traffic levels, drainage needs, and project goals.

Clean, washed stone products are often recommended for drainage systems because they allow water to move freely while maintaining structural support around pipes, foundations, and retaining walls.

Depending on the design, retaining wall projects may use boulders, crushed stone, drainage stone, or specialty landscape materials. Our team can help determine the best option based on the size and purpose of the wall.

Erosion control projects often utilize larger stone or boulders to stabilize slopes, shorelines, drainage channels, and areas subject to water movement. The appropriate product depends on site conditions and expected water flow.

A compactable crushed stone base is typically recommended beneath concrete slabs. The material helps provide a stable foundation, promotes proper drainage, and supports long-term performance. The best choice may vary depending on soil conditions and project requirements.

Base stone is used to create a stable foundation beneath roads, driveways, parking areas, sidewalks, and other paved surfaces. It helps distribute loads, improve drainage, and reduce settlement over time.

Crushed stone products are often used for parking areas because they compact well and provide a durable surface capable of supporting vehicle traffic. The ideal material may vary depending on the size of the lot, expected traffic, and surface requirements.

Road construction typically utilizes a combination of aggregates, including base stone, crushed stone, and specialty materials designed to provide structural support, drainage, and long-term durability. These materials form the foundation that supports asphalt or concrete pavement.
