American Rock Supply delivers bulk gravel, crushed stone, sand, soil, and mulch to homeowners and contractors in ZIP 23709 of Portsmouth, Virginia (VA).

Common projects include residential driveways, paver patios, drainage work, landscape beds, lawn repair, and base preparation for sheds, outbuildings, and small contractor jobs.

Products and Materials

We also carry masonry sand, concrete sand, fill dirt, and several decorative stone blends. These work well for paver joints, mortar mixes, and landscape accents.

Material Selection by Project Type

  • Driveways: Crusher run is the standard choice for a stable, compacted surface. A 4 to 6 inch base of #57 stone underneath helps with drainage in clay-heavy soil.
  • Drainage: Use clean #57 or #78 crushed stone for French drains, foundation drainage, and ditch lining. Avoid crusher run because fines can clog the system.
  • Patios and walkways: Lay a compacted base of crusher run, then a 1 inch bed of stone dust or concrete sand for leveling pavers or flagstone.
  • Landscape beds and soil work: Top soil enriches planting areas. Dyed mulch or Natural Pea Gravel cover the surface to suppress weeds and add color.

Local Conditions That Affect Material Choice

ZIP 23709 covers a mix of older established lots and newer subdivisions in Portsmouth. Many properties are on relatively flat, low-lying ground that drains slowly after rain.

Soils in the area tend to hold moisture, so drainage material like Crushed Stone is common around foundations and in yard drainage systems. Freeze-thaw cycles in winter can shift poorly compacted driveways.

Properties on the eastern side of the ZIP are closer to tidal creeks and may have higher water tables. A thicker base of compactable stone helps prevent settling under driveways and sheds.

Delivery and Access in ZIP 23709 of Portsmouth

American Rock Supply serves much of ZIP 23709 with delivery-only service. A dump truck can handle most single-load orders for homeowners and small contractor jobs.

Many driveways in the area are 80 to 150 feet long. Standard trucks can back in and dump at a chosen spot if there is enough turnaround space. Tight suburban lots with short driveways work fine, but the driver needs clear access free of low branches or wires.

Soft ground after rain is common in the low-lying parts of Portsmouth. If you schedule a delivery during wet weather, place plastic or plywood where the truck drives to avoid ruts.

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about delivery to 23709 in Portsmouth, VA

Does American Rock Supply deliver to ZIP 23709?

What aggregate is best for a residential driveway in Portsmouth?

Crusher run is the top choice for durability and compaction. For driveways on clay soil, a 4 inch base of #57 crushed stone provides drainage before the crusher run top layer.

What is the difference between crusher run and Crushed Stone?

Crusher run contains stone dust and fines that bind together when compacted. Crushed Stone (like #57) is washed and drains freely, so it is used for drainage systems and as a base layer, not as a finished surface.

What material works best for drainage around a foundation?

Clean #57 crushed stone is the standard choice. It allows water to move away from the foundation without clogging. Avoid crusher run or screenings because they can trap water and cause moisture issues.

How do I figure out how much material I need?

Measure the length and width of the area and the desired depth. For irregular shapes, break the area into rectangles. Contact American Rock Supply with your rough dimensions and project type for a volume estimate.
