What aggregate is best for a residential driveway in Mentone?

Crusher run is the most common choice. It compacts firmly and provides a durable driving surface. For topping, consider #57 stone or washed gravel if you want a cleaner look.

What is the difference between crusher run and Crushed Stone?

Crusher run contains fines that bind stones together when compacted. Clean stone like #57 has no fines, so it drains well but does not compact into a solid base.

What material works best for drainage around a foundation?

Use #57 stone or a similar clean, angular aggregate. It allows water to move away from the foundation without clogging. Avoid crusher run for this purpose.

How do I figure out how much material I need?

Measure the length, width, and desired depth of your area in feet. Multiply to get cubic feet, then divide by 27 for cubic yards. Contact us with your dimensions and project type for a recommendation.

Material Selection by Project Type

Driveways: Crusher run compacts into a firm base that supports vehicle weight. A proper subgrade preparation is key for long life.
Drainage: Use #57 stone or a similar clean, angular stone that allows water to move freely. Avoid materials with fines that can clog systems.
Patios and walkways: Start with a compacted crusher run base, then top with washed Natural Pea Gravel or a thin layer of screenings for setting pavers.
Landscape beds and soil work: Topsoil improves planting areas, while hardwood mulch helps retain moisture and suppress weeds. Decorative stone adds a clean finish.

Local Conditions That Affect Material Choice

ZIP 35984 covers the Mentone area in DeKalb County, with a mix of older residential lots and larger acreage properties. The terrain includes both gentle slopes and steeper hillsides typical of the Appalachian foothills.

Soils in the area vary from Top Soil to heavier clay. Clay-heavy areas drain slower and may require a thicker base of crusher run to prevent rutting. Sloped properties need erosion control and angular stone that locks together.

Many properties have long driveways or winding access paths. Planning delivery access and choosing the right material can save time and costs later.

Delivery and Access in ZIP 35984 of Mentone

American Rock Supply serves much of ZIP 35984 with delivery-only bulk material services. We use dump trucks that require clear access for backing and dumping.

For single-load homeowner deliveries, we place the material in a spot you choose. Contractors with larger jobs can coordinate multiple loads and staged drop sites.
