What aggregate is best for a residential driveway in Tucson?

Crushed Stone with fines compacts well and forms a durable surface. For longer driveways, a base layer of 3/4 crushed stone adds stability underneath.

What is the difference between crusher run and Crushed Stone?

Crusher run contains fines that bind the stone together when compacted. Crushed Stone has no fines, so it drains water but does not lock into a solid layer.

What material works best for drainage around a foundation?

Clean 3/4 crushed stone or Natural Pea Gravel works best. They let water move away without trapping moisture against the foundation wall.

How do I figure out how much material I need?

Measure the length and width of the area in feet, then multiply by the depth you want. Contact us with those numbers and the project type, and we can suggest the right volume.

What should I consider before scheduling a bulk delivery?

Check for clear truck access, overhead obstructions, and a flat, firm drop area. Soft ground after rain may delay delivery until the site dries out.

American Rock Supply delivers bulk gravel, crushed stone, sand, soil, and mulch to homeowners and contractors in ZIP 85716 of Tucson, Arizona (AZ).

Products and Materials

Secondary materials like Stone Screenings, river rock, garden soil, and play sand are also available. Ask about the best option for your specific project conditions.

Material Selection by Project Type

Driveways: Use a compactable base like Crushed Stone or 3/4" crushed stone with fines. A base layer prevents rutting under weight.
Drainage: Choose Crushed Stone or Natural Pea Gravel. Materials without fines let water flow freely and reduce pooling near foundations.
Patios and walkways: Compact a base of 3/4" crushed stone, then top with sand or Stone Screenings for leveling. Pavers sit stable on that layer.
Landscape beds and soil work: Decorative rock or mulch covers the surface, while top soil or garden soil rebuilds beds for new plants.

Local Conditions That Affect Material Choice

ZIP 85716 in Tucson includes older built-up lots near the university and newer subdivisions with wider streets. Many properties have compact town lots with small driveways.

Soils here drain quickly because of the arid climate and high sand content. Heavy rain events are rare but intense, so material that handles runoff matters in low areas.

Freeze-thaw cycles are mild, so base materials do not heave as much as in colder regions. However, dry summer heat can cause uncovered soil to crack or blow away.
