- Creating barriers to control vehicle access
- Erosion control on slopes or waterfront properties

3/8″ Minus Crushed Granite
The go-to for smooth, compact finishes.
Homeowners love this natural aggregate for its tidy appearance and easy maintenance. Contractors rely on it for achieving consistent compaction and a solid base layer. This finely crushed material compacts tightly, making it perfect for:
- Driveways with a clean, polished look
- Garden pathways and walkways
- Base layers under patios or pavers
- Any project requiring a firm, level surface
3/4″ Minus Crushed Granite
When conditions get tough, this aggregate holds strong.
For developers, this is a dependable choice when site conditions aren’t perfect. For homeowners, it means fewer issues down the road—literally. With slightly larger aggregate, 3/4″ minus offers enhanced stability—especially in challenging conditions:
- Ideal for driveways and pathways with heavier traffic
- Performs well in saturated or softer subgrades
- Excellent as a structural base beneath slabs or hardscape
Crushed Granite is one of those materials that works behind the scenes—but also looks great when brought to the surface.This clean, angular rock allows water to flow freely, making it essential for:
- French drains and perimeter drainage systems
- Backfill behind retaining walls
- Decorative rock gardens and xeriscaping
- Improving site drainage around foundations
New Product – Limited Availability
3/4″ Minus Recycled Asphalt
Sustainable, durable & high performing.
Because it’s made from reclaimed asphalt, availability is limited—making it a great option to secure while quantities last. This recycled product is a smart alternative for projects that demand performance and value:
Driveways that benefit from a tight, almost paved finish
Base layers under concrete pads
Any application requiring 95% compaction or higher
