Bulk Aggregates near Charlotte, NC, 28254

Material Selection by Project Type

• Driveways: Crusher run provides a stable, compacted base and surface. For heavy traffic, a layer of #57 stone under the crusher run improves drainage.
• Drainage: Crushed Stone like #57 or #78 allows water to move freely. Avoid materials with fines that can clog drain pipes.
• Patios and walkways: Concrete sand creates a level bed for pavers. Use crusher run as a subbase if the soil is soft.
• Landscape beds and soil work: Natural Pea Gravel or decorative stone works well for beds around plants. Topsoil or garden soil gives new plantings a strong start.

Local Conditions That Affect Material Choice

ZIP 28254 in Charlotte includes older developed areas and newer subdivisions on former farmland. The red clay soil common to Mecklenburg County drains slowly and can compact easily.

During wet months, driveways and patios need a base that resists rutting. Crusher run with good fines holds up better than clean stone on clay sites.

Properties on sloped lots may require extra drainage stone to manage runoff. Flat lots often need built-up soil for proper grading around foundations.
