What aggregate is best for a residential driveway in Mobile?

Crusher run is the top choice for a driveway base. It contains both rock and fines that compact into a firm, stable surface that holds up to vehicle traffic.

What is the difference between crusher run and Crushed Stone?

Crusher run has fines that help it compact into a solid mass. Crushed Stone, like #57, has no fines and drains water easily. Use crusher run for base layers and clean stone for drainage.

What material works best under pavers or walkways?

Start with a base of crusher run, then top with a thin layer of concrete sand. The sand levels the pavers and allows for proper drainage and stability.

How do I figure out how much material I need?

Measure the length and width of your project area, then estimate the depth needed. Contact us with those rough dimensions and the intended use, and we can help calculate the right amount.

Material Selection by Project Type

Driveways: Crusher run works best for a stable, compacted base. A top layer of clean stone like #57 can improve drainage and appearance.
Drainage: Use #57 crushed stone or drain rock with no fines. This allows water to flow freely and prevents clogging.
Patios and walkways: Concrete sand is ideal as a bedding layer under pavers. For the base, use crusher run or screenings to prevent shifting.
Landscape beds and soil work: Screened topsoil enriches planting areas, while brown mulch covers the surface to suppress weeds and retain moisture.

Local Conditions That Affect Material Choice

ZIP 36601 in Mobile includes older built-up lots near downtown and newer subdivisions on the outskirts. Soil in the area can range from Top Soil to heavy clay, depending on the specific lot.

Areas with clay soil drain slowly, so Crushed Stone is often needed for drainage around foundations. Sandy areas may require more compactable base material for driveways and parking pads.

Mild winters with occasional freezes mean freeze-thaw cycles are rare, but heavy rain is common. Choosing angular, well-graded stone helps prevent shifting during wet weather.
