Our Most Popular Products in Tucson
Material Selection by Project Type
- Driveways: Use compactable Crushed Stone or road base. A 4- to 6-inch base layer prevents rutting and supports heavy vehicles.
- Drainage: Crushed Stone without fines moves water quickly. It works well for French drains, foundation footing drains, and dry wells.
- Patios and walkways: Start with a compacted base of crushed stone or recycled concrete, then top with concrete sand for leveling before setting pavers.
- Landscape beds and soil work: Decorative river rock, crushed stone, or bark mulch beautifies beds. Screened topsoil or garden soil improves planting areas.
ZIP 85740 in Tucson covers a transition zone between the built-up valley floor and the hilly northern edge.
Properties range from compact urban lots on the south side to larger acreage parcels in the northern rural fringe.
Soils in this area often contain a mix of sand, silt, and clay. During monsoon season, rapid runoff can erode unprotected slopes.
Choosing the right base and drainage material helps prevent shifting and settling. The dry climate means little freeze-thaw stress, but intense sun can fade colored stone.
Most homeowners prefer natural earth tones that blend with the Sonoran Desert palette.

What aggregate is best for a residential driveway in Tucson?
For driveways in Tucson, 3/4" Crushed Stone or road base works best. It compacts firmly and holds up under heat and occasional rain. A base layer of 4 to 6 inches is typical.
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 quickly. Use crusher run for driveways and clean stone for drainage.
What material works best for drainage around a foundation?
Crushed Stone, such as 1" or 3/4" clean rock, allows water to move away from the foundation. It prevents moisture buildup and helps protect the structure. Avoid materials with fines for drainage applications.
How do I figure out how much material I need?
To estimate quantity, measure the area length and width and multiply by desired depth. Then convert cubic feet to cubic yards. For accurate ordering, contact us with your project dimensions and we can help.
