Bulk Aggregates near Charlotte, NC, 28284

Material Selection by Project Type

• Driveways: Crusher run or a similar compactable base material provides a stable, durable surface. A proper base layer prevents rutting and settling.
• Drainage: Crushed Stone like #57 or #78 allows water to move freely without clogging. Materials with fines hold moisture and are not ideal for drainage.
• Patios and walkways: Use a compacted base of crusher run, then a layer of clean stone or sand as a setting bed for pavers. This prevents shifting over time.
• Landscape beds and soil work: Top soil or garden soil builds healthy soil for planting. Decorative gravel or mulch adds a finished look and reduces weeding.

Local Conditions That Affect Material Choice

ZIP 28284 covers a mix of older built-up lots and newer subdivisions. Properties in the more rural parts often have longer driveways and softer ground.

Charlotte's clay-heavy soil drains slowly after rain. A compacted base with crushed stone helps prevent mud and washouts in driveways and patios.

Mild freeze-thaw cycles can cause shifting in poorly compacted materials. Using angular, well-graded aggregate reduces movement and keeps surfaces level.
