Driveway Stone: Choosing The Right Aggregate Blend

Start With Base Condition

Before adding new stone, evaluate grade, drainage, and pothole depth. Surface material alone will not fix a failed base.

Common Stone Types For Driveways

3/4 Crushed Bluestone

Best for compaction and load stability. Works well for resurfacing and base correction.

Pea Gravel

Best for decorative edges and low-speed residential sections. Not ideal as a primary compaction layer.

Recommended Layering Pattern

1. Correct grade and drainage first.
2. Add compacting base aggregate.
3. Finish with a stable top layer for traffic.

Delivery Planning

Multi-load orders are usually scheduled one load per day per address. Add access notes for narrow entries or low wires during checkout.
