What aggregate is best for a residential driveway in Phoenix?

Crusher run works well for a compacted base. A top layer of 3/4 inch crushed stone or Stone Screenings gives a stable surface. Consider your soil type and slope when choosing.

What is the difference between crusher run and Crushed Stone?

Crusher run contains fines that bind the stone together when compacted, making it solid. Crushed Stone has no fines, so it drains water freely but does not compact into a hard surface.

What material works best under pavers or walkways?

Use 3/4 inch crushed stone as a base layer. Compact it well before adding sand or setting material. Natural Pea Gravel is not recommended due to its round shape.

How do I figure out how much material I need?

Measure the length, width, and depth of your project area in feet. Multiply for cubic feet. Contact us with approximate dimensions and the material type for help ordering.

Material Selection by Project Type

Driveways: Crusher run works as a compactable base. A deeper layer supports heavy vehicles and prevents rutting on longer driveways.
Drainage: Crushed Stone or Natural Pea Gravel allows water to flow quickly. Avoid materials with fines that can clog drainage systems.
Patios and walkways: Use 3/4 inch crushed stone as a base layer. Natural Pea Gravel or Stone Screenings make good top materials for walkways.
Landscape beds and soil work: Screened topsoil enriches planting areas. Decorative rock or mulch covers beds and retains moisture.

Local Conditions That Affect Material Choice

ZIP 85086 in Phoenix includes a mix of newer subdivisions and more rural acreage lots. Soil types vary from Top Soil to clay. Clay areas need careful drainage preparation.

The area experiences hot, dry summers and mild winters. Freeze-thaw is rare, but occasional frost can affect material stability. Fast-draining soils may require extra base depth for driveways.

Some properties sit on sloped terrain. Slopes increase runoff and require angular stone for erosion control. Flat lots with heavy clay may need additional compaction and drainage rock.

Delivery and Access in ZIP 85086 of Phoenix

American Rock Supply serves much of ZIP 85086 with delivery. Drivers need clear access for a dump truck. Long driveways and tight suburban lots are common.

For rural properties, watch for low-hanging branches, narrow gates, or soft ground after rain. Steep grades and sharp turns may limit dump truck entry.
