Bulk Aggregates near Charlotte, NC, 28263

Material Selection by Project Type

• Driveways: Use crusher run for the top layer; it compacts well and resists rutting. A base of 57 granite may be needed if the subgrade is soft.
• Drainage: Choose Crushed Stone like 57 granite. Fines in crusher run can clog drainage pipes and reduce water flow.
• Patios and walkways: Start with a base of crusher run, then top with concrete sand as a setting bed for pavers. This prevents settling.
• Landscape beds and soil work: Screened topsoil works for new beds and lawn repairs. River jack adds decorative cover around plants.

Local Conditions That Affect Material Choice

ZIP 28263 covers a mix of older built-up lots and newer subdivisions in Charlotte. Some properties sit on large lots with long driveways, while others are more compact.

The area has mostly clay-based soils that drain slowly. This makes a proper base important for driveways and patios to avoid shifting after heavy rain.

Charlotte experiences hot summers and occasional freeze-thaw cycles in winter. Crushed Stone handles frost heave better than materials with fines in wet zones.
