What gravel is best for a Scottsdale driveway?

Stone Screenings or road base are the top choices for residential driveways in Scottsdale. They compact well, shed water, and handle the heat without breaking down.

What is the difference between crusher run and Crushed Stone?

Crusher run contains rock fines that bind together when compacted, making it stable for driveways. Crushed Stone has no fines and allows water to drain through, ideal for drainage projects.

What material works best for drainage around a foundation?

Clean 3/4 inch crushed stone is the standard choice. It creates a void space for water to move away from the footing without clogging over time.

How do I figure out how much material I need?

Measure the area length and width in feet, then multiply by the desired depth in inches. Contact us with those dimensions and your project type, and we can estimate the tons or yards required.

Products and Materials

Material Selection by Project Type

Driveways: Use a compactable base like road base or Stone Screenings. A 4-6 inch compacted layer gives a stable surface that resists rutting under desert sun and occasional monsoon rains.
Drainage: Crushed Stone (such as 3/4 inch) lets water flow freely. Avoid materials with fines if you need fast percolation around foundations or in French drains.
Patios and walkways: Start with a crushed stone base for stability, then top with Stone Screenings or Natural Pea Gravel for a finished look. The base prevents settling over time.
Landscape beds and soil work: Decorative river rock or Natural Pea Gravel reduce weeds and hold moisture. For planting, use garden soil or top soil amended with organic compost.

Local Conditions That Affect Material Choice

ZIP 85252 covers much of central Scottsdale, including established residential neighborhoods and newer subdivisions on former desert land. Soils here are typically sandy to gravelly with good natural drainage.

Summer heat and occasional heavy monsoon storms mean materials must handle rapid drying and sudden runoff. Compactable base materials like road base hold up better than loose gravel on sloped driveways.

Many homes have flat to gently sloping lots, but some properties near the McDowell Mountain foothills have steeper grades. In those areas, crushed stone with fines stays in place better than rounded rock.
