Bulk Aggregates near Richmond, VA, 23235

Material Selection by Project Type

• Driveways: Use a compactable base like crusher run or Crushed Stone #57 topped with finer stone for a stable surface that resists rutting. Base depth depends on expected vehicle weight.
• Drainage: Crushed Stone (#57 or #78) moves water freely and does not clump. Avoid materials with fines that can clog pipes or wrap around foundation drains.
• Patios and walkways: Screened sand or crushed stone base provides a stable bed for pavers. Mason Sand fills joints and locks the surface in place without shifting.
• Landscape beds and soil work: Decorative stone, Natural Pea Gravel, or mulch controls weeds and retains moisture. Screened topsoil enriches planting areas and improves soil structure.

Local Conditions That Affect Material Choice

ZIP 23235 in Richmond includes older built-up lots, newer subdivisions, and some acreage properties. Clay-heavy soils are common in the area.

Clay holds water and expands when wet, which can cause driveways and patios to settle unevenly. A deeper base or clean stone for drainage helps manage soil movement.

Freeze-thaw cycles in winter stress surfaces. Using angular crushed stone with fines locks together and resists shifting better than rounded gravel. Sloped properties may need extra drainage aggregate to direct runoff away from foundations.
