Why Gravel is a Game Changer
Gravel isn’t just a pile of rocks. It’s one of the most versatile and affordable materials you can use for your landscape, construction, or home improvement project. Here’s why it’s such an excellent choice:
-
- Strong for foundations – Use gravel as a base layer for concrete, pavers, or retaining walls.
- Great for drainage – Water moves through gravel easily, making it perfect for foundations, streams, or areas prone to heavy rain.
- Low-maintenance – No mowing, no watering—just rake and go.
- Controls weeds – Pair it with landscape fabric and reduce unwanted growth.
- Works with everything – Mix it with sand, pair it with mulch, or line it along your walkway.
Where Can You Use Gravel?
Gravel fits in almost anywhere. Here’s how you can use it:
-
- Driveways & Roads – Create solid, long-lasting surfaces that drain well.
- Garden Paths – Build clean paths around your plants, trees, and flower beds.
- Foundation & Drainage – Place under concrete, around homes, or along retaining walls.
- Weed Control – Cover soil with gravel and use landscape fabric for clean lines and less weeding.
- Erosion Protection – Use in sloped areas, stream beds, or storm drains.
- Snow Removal Prep – In places like Virginia or Mississippi, gravel helps improve traction in winter.
Plus, we offer add-ons such as fill dirt, topsoil, sand, mulch, bark, and other materials to complete your project the right way.

FAQs About Gravel
What is the best gravel for a driveway?
Roadbase, Limestone, or crushed granite are excellent for driveways. They compact well and handle the traffic.
How do I figure out the amount of gravel I need?
In feet, measure the area’s length, width, and depth. Multiply them together and divide by 27 to get the number of cubic yards.
Is gravel good for drainage?
Yes! Gravel is one of the most effective materials for managing water and preventing pooling or runoff.
Can gravel stop weeds?
Yes, especially when used with landscape fabric underneath. It blocks sunlight and keeps weeds from sprouting.
What's the difference between gravel and crushed stone?
They’re often used the same way, but crushed stone usually comes from a quarry and has sharp edges, while gravel is more rounded.
Do you deliver gravel in bulk?
Yes! We offer bulk, pallet, and bag options, and can deliver directly to your yard or job site by truck.
Can gravel be used under pavers?
Absolutely. It’s ideal as a base, especially when paired with sand and crusher fines for stability.
