Driveway and Road Construction Aggregates

Creating a lasting driveway in Remlap requires materials that can withstand Alabama's variable weather and compact properly into the clay-based subsoil. Our driveway gravel provides the ideal combination of durability and drainage, preventing the washouts common during spring thunderstorms. For properties along Murphrees Valley Road or in the Ross Mountain area, we recommend starting with a solid base layer.

The foundation of any successful driveway project begins with proper base materials. Road base aggregate creates a stable, compacted foundation that prevents settling and rutting over time. This material works exceptionally well with Remlap's clay soil, interlocking to form a solid surface that handles heavy truck traffic and farm equipment without deteriorating.

For the intermediate and top layers of your driveway, 3/4 inch crushed stone delivers excellent performance. The angular edges of crushed stone lock together under compaction, creating a stable driving surface that resists displacement. Many homeowners in the Straight Mountain community and along Highway 75 have found this size ideal for their gravel driveways.
