What aggregate is best for a residential driveway in Scottsdale?

Crushed Stone or crusher run are popular choices. They compact well and provide a stable surface. For a decorative look, consider washed crushed stone topped with Natural Pea Gravel.

What is the difference between crusher run and Crushed Stone?

Crusher run contains fines that help it bind together when compacted. Crushed Stone has no fines, so it stays loose and drains water. Choose crusher run for driveways, clean stone for drainage.

What material works best for drainage around a foundation?

Crushed Stone or drain rock works well. It allows water to flow quickly without clogging. Use at least a 6 inch wide trench filled with 3/4 inch clean stone.

How do I figure out how much material I need?

Measure the length and width of the area in feet. Multiply to get square footage. Then decide on depth in inches. Contact us with those dimensions and the project type for an accurate estimate.

Products and Materials

Other materials available include fill dirt, Stone Screenings, and several colors of mulch for ground cover or accent.

Material Selection by Project Type

Driveways: Use a compactable base like Crushed Stone or crusher run. A 4-inch base usually works for standard passenger vehicles. Thicker base may be needed for heavy trucks.
Drainage: Crushed Stone or Natural Pea Gravel moves water well. Materials with fines can clog and reduce flow. Use clean stone around foundations and French drains.
Patios and walkways: Start with a compacted base of crushed rock. Finish with concrete sand for paver joints or Natural Pea Gravel for a loose surface.
Landscape beds and soil work: Decorative river rock or mulch works for beds. Top soil improves planting areas. Mix in compost for extra nutrients.

Local Conditions That Affect Material Choice

ZIP 85271 in Scottsdale includes a mix of older suburban lots and newer, larger properties. Some areas have compact town lots while others offer acreage with long driveways.

Soil in this part of Maricopa County drains quickly. That makes clean stone effective for drainage projects. The dry climate means organic mulch lasts longer but still needs occasional replenishment.

Mild winters allow year round project work. Summer monsoon rains can cause sudden runoff, so select materials that won't wash away easily. Crushed rock stays put better than loose gravel in sloped areas.
