What aggregate is best for a residential driveway in Tucson?

Crushed stone (crusher run or 3/4 inch base) works well because it compacts solidly. It stands up to monsoon rain and daily driveway use.

What material works best for drainage around a foundation?

Crushed Stone or river rock without fines allows water to move away. Washed angular stone is ideal for French drains and downspout extensions.

Bulk Aggregates near Tucson, AZ, 85717

American Rock Supply delivers bulk gravel, crushed stone, sand, soil, and mulch to homeowners and contractors in ZIP 85717 of Tucson, Arizona (AZ).

Common projects include residential driveways, paver patios, drainage work, landscape beds, lawn repair, and base preparation for sheds, outbuildings, and small contractor jobs.

Products and Materials

Secondary options like Stone Screenings, fill dirt, and landscaping mulch also suit many Tucson projects. These materials add variety for drainage and finish work.

Material Selection by Project Type

Driveways: Use crushed stone or a compactable base material. A base layer of larger stone helps prevent settling on Tucson’s varied soil.
Drainage: Crushed Stone or river rock works best. Fines can clog the system, so choose washed rock for French drains and dry wells.
Patios and walkways: Start with a compacted base of crushed stone. Then set pavers or flagstone on a thin layer of concrete sand.
Landscape beds and soil work: Decorative stone, Natural Pea Gravel, or river rock adds texture. Use topsoil or garden soil for planting new beds.

Local Conditions That Affect Material Choice

ZIP 85717 includes a mix of older neighborhoods and newer subdivisions in Tucson. Many lots are compact, but some properties stretch into more rural terrain.

Soils here range from sandy to gravelly, with areas of caliche that require deeper excavation. Monsoon rains create sudden runoff, so drainage stone is often necessary around foundations and in low spots.

Driveways in this ZIP can be long and narrow, especially near the desert fringe. A stable base material helps prevent erosion and washout during heavy storms.

Delivery and Access in ZIP 85717 of Tucson

American Rock Supply delivers to much of ZIP 85717. Our trucks can handle both suburban streets and longer rural driveways.
