Description: Whitish-gray solid stone. Comes from natural sources and is crushed to different sizes. Because it is crushed, it is not round stones, it has corners and edges. It is the type of stone typically used for driveways and parking lots.
The smaller the stone, the smoother the finish will be. Also, the softer the area you are working in is, the larger the stone you should start with and add additional layers of smaller and smaller stones until your finished surface is the desired product.
Sizes available:
#10 Screenings (coarse sand up to 1/4″) – Used as a base for paver stones and to fill in spaces between larger size stones for compaction.
#8 (1/4″-1/2″) – Can be used as a base or topping for driveways, patios, and walking paths.
#57 (3/4″-1″) – Base for concrete or asphalt, gravel driveway or parking lot, under decks (if not visible). *This is the standard size used for gravel driveways/parking lots*
#4 (1″ – 2.5″) – Base for concrete or asphalt if area is wet/muddy (to be topped with smaller size)
