What aggregate is best for a residential driveway in Mobile?

Crushed Stone or crushed gravel works well because it compacts tightly and resists shifting in rain. A base of larger stone underneath adds stability on softer ground.

What is the difference between crusher run and Crushed Stone?

Crusher run contains fines that lock together, making it ideal for compacted bases. Crushed Stone has no fines, allowing water to drain through. Use crusher run for driveways and clean stone for drainage.

What material works best for drainage around a foundation?

Clean crushed limestone, typically 3/4 inch, is a common choice. The angular shape creates voids for water movement. River rock also works but may shift more over time.

How do I figure out how much material I need?

Measure the area length and width, then multiply to get square footage. Provide these dimensions and the intended depth to our team. We can estimate the volume for your project.

Material Selection by Project Type

Driveways: Use Crushed Stone or crushed gravel for a stable, compactable surface. A base layer of larger stone improves drainage and prevents rutting in Mobile’s rainy season.
Drainage: Clean crushed limestone or river rock allows water to flow freely. Avoid materials with fines, as they can clog and reduce effectiveness around foundations or French drains.
Patios and walkways: Start with 4 to 6 inches of crushed limestone for a solid base. Top with mason sand for leveling pavers. This combination handles foot traffic and light load.
Landscape beds and soil work: River rock or decorative gravel suits low-maintenance beds. For planting, use enriched topsoil or garden soil to support shrubs and flowers.

Local Conditions That Affect Material Choice

ZIP 36652 covers parts of Mobile with a mix of older residential lots and newer subdivisions. The area sits on flat coastal plains with sandy, fast-draining soil in some spots and heavier clay in others.

Heavy rainfall from Gulf storms often saturates the ground. Driveways and low areas benefit from crushed stone base that lifts the surface and promotes runoff. In dense neighborhoods, tight lots limit storage space for material piles.

Mild winters reduce freeze-thaw concerns, but summer heat and humidity can compact soil quickly. Using open-graded stone around structures helps manage moisture year-round.
