What aggregate is best for a residential driveway in Mobile?

Crusher run is the most common choice. It contains stone dust that locks the material together, creating a firm, stable surface that handles rain and light traffic well.

What is the difference between crusher run and Crushed Stone?

Crusher run includes fine stone dust, which compacts tightly. Crushed Stone, like 57s, is washed and free of fines, allowing water to drain through it.

What material works best for drainage around a foundation?

Crushed Stone (57s or 78s) is ideal. It provides a gap for water to flow away without clogging. Avoid crusher run near foundations because the fines can trap moisture.

How do I figure out how much material I need?

Measure the length, width, and desired depth of the area in feet. Contact our team with those rough dimensions and your project type. We will help estimate the right volume.

Products and Materials

Secondary materials like river rock, concrete sand, and fill dirt are also available for specific site conditions. Reach out to discuss what fits your project.

Material Selection by Project Type

Driveways: Crusher run or a compactable base mix works best. It locks together under pressure and resists rutting in Mobile’s heavy rain.
Drainage: Use Crushed Stone like 57s around foundations or French drains. Fines can clog, so skip crusher run here.
Patios and walkways: Install a compacted base of crusher run, then top with Natural Pea Gravel or stone dust for a level setting surface.
Landscape beds and soil work: Screened topsoil enriches planting areas, while hardwood mulch retains moisture and reduces weeds.

Local Conditions That Affect Material Choice

ZIP 36616 covers a mix of older built-up lots and newer subdivisions in Mobile. The terrain is generally flat, but drainage varies with the sandy clay soil common in this part of Alabama.

Heavy rainfall can cause surface water to pool on compacted surfaces. Choosing clean, angular stone around structures helps water move away from foundations. In the older sections, narrow lots may limit access for large trucks, requiring a walk-through before drop-off.

Mild winters mean occasional freeze-thaw cycles, so base materials must resist shifting. Crusher run with fines performs well under these conditions, while decorative stone stays in place with proper edging.
