Bulk Aggregates near Charlotte, NC, 28255

Material Selection by Project Type

• Driveways: Crusher run or recycled asphalt millings work well for a compacted base. A 4 to 6 inch layer after proper grading handles vehicle weight.
• Drainage: Use clean #57 or #67 stone around foundations and in French drains. Avoid materials with fines that can clog water flow.
• Patios and walkways: A base of clean stone followed by a layer of stone dust or sand creates a stable surface for pavers.
• Landscape beds and soil work: Topsoil enriches planting areas, while decorative gravel or hardwood mulch adds a finished look and controls weeds.

Local Conditions That Affect Material Choice

Charlotte sits on clay-heavy soils that drain slowly. The area sees moderate freeze-thaw cycles in winter, which can shift poorly compacted base layers.

ZIP 28255 includes both older established neighborhoods with smaller lots and newer subdivisions with wider driveways. Sloped properties may need extra attention to drainage.

Choosing materials with good compaction, like crusher run, or clean stone for water movement helps avoid settling and erosion over time.
