Premium Aggregates Available for Moab Delivery
Gravel and Crushed Stone Products
For structural base layers and compacted subgrades in Moab, select aggregates that resist erosion and stand up to desert dust and infrequent freeze-thaw events. Our supply of 3/4 inch Crushed Stone is a go-to for compacted bases under asphalt or pavers. It compacts well and provides interlock in roads and parking pads, especially where sandy loam overlays caliche pockets. When contractors need a clean, angular option for footings and subbases, 3/4 inch crushed stone delivers predictable compaction and load-bearing capacity.
We also stock crusher run and road base blends that combine fine fines with coarse fragments to create a firm, nonshift surface in arid terrain. Our Crusher Run mixes are blended to perform on the valley's undulating grades, while Road Base is formulated to meet county road specifications where applicable. For projects that prefer recycled options, our Crushed Concrete provides an eco-friendly alternative, useful for pads, access roads and backfill where recycled aggregate is acceptable.
Driveway and Pathway Materials
Driveways around Moab often contend with seasonal runoff from spring snowmelt and sudden summer monsoon deluges. For long-lasting surfaces we recommend layered assemblies starting with compacted road base or crusher run and finishing with a wearing course that suits the neighborhood aesthetic. For a stable wearing layer that resists displacement on slopes, our Driveway Gravel is graded for vehicle traffic and local wash dynamics. It works well for rural driveways around Kane Creek and for guest parking near downtown businesses.
Paths and patios in historic Center Street neighborhoods or newer developments in Spanish Valley benefit from low-maintenance surfaces like Decomposed Granite which compacts into a smooth, permeable finish that's ideal for plazas and ADA-compliant walkways. For narrower garden routes and informal trails, our Walkway Gravel offers a balance of drainage and comfort underfoot while reflecting the rust and tan tones of local sandstone.
Decorative Stone and River Rock
When designing landscapes that complement Moab's red-rock palette, decorative options such as river rock and pea gravel can add contrast and improve stormwater handling. Homeowners in upscale neighborhoods near Dead Horse Point use accents of River Rock around xeric plantings to prevent erosion on steep slopes while creating a natural visual transition to the canyon edge. River rock also works well in dry creek beds constructed to route monsoon flows away from foundations.
For patios, play areas and low-maintenance beds, Pea Gravel is a popular decorative choice. It compacts slightly yet remains forgiving underfoot, making it a favorite for seating areas near Mill Creek and private courtyards off Main Street. Paired with native plantings, pea gravel creates a clean, contemporary look that suits both modern builds and restored historic cottages in Downtown Moab.
Drainage Solutions for Moab's arid, sandy-loam Soil
Moab sits on the Colorado Plateau where soils range from sandy loam to thin desert crusts and pockets of caliche. Surface water is uncommon throughout the year but when it does fall—during summer monsoon storms or sudden snowmelt—runoff can be intense. Proper drainage aggregates reduce erosion, protect foundations and channel water safely through washes and landscaped swales.
One effective solution for subsurface drainage trenches and French drains is #57 Stone, which provides stable void space for water conveyance while resisting fine migration. In larger drainage basins and swales, larger angular materials are preferable; our Drain Rock is specified to promote quick infiltration and maintain flow paths without clogging.
Benefits of Proper Drainage Aggregates
- Improved erosion control on steep slopes adjacent to Kane Creek Road and the Dead Horse Point approach
- Longer lifespan for roads and driveways by preventing undermining from storm events
- Reduced maintenance for swales and dry creek beds that handle monsoon flash floods
- Better plant health in xeric gardens by directing excess runoff away from root zones
Soil Products and Fill Materials
Proper grading, backfill and garden prep require the right soil and fill materials. For top dressing lawns, raised beds and native plant restorations in neighborhoods like Spanish Valley and River Road, we offer screened Topsoil that is blended to support native plant establishment while minimizing non-native weed seeds. This topsoil is useful for community garden plots near Center Street and for front-yard restorations on properties in the Moab Valley.
Structural fill and site grading often call for inert, well-graded fill. We supply reliable Fill Dirt that compacts predictably for building pads, retaining wall fills, and berm creation. Fill dirt is a staple for contractors working on remote ranch drive access off County Roads and for landowners preparing sites in Castle Valley or near Crescent Junction.
Sand Products for Every Moab Application
Different sands serve distinct purposes across construction, masonry and play areas. Masonry work on patio pavers or retaining walls around downtown historic homes requires a fine, clean sand for mortar and bed layers. Our Mason Sand is washed and sieved for a consistent texture that enables strong joints and tight paver beds suited to the valley's diurnal temperature swings.
For playgrounds, schools and community parks that need a safer, softer surface, Playground Sand meets safety expectations and compacts to a cushioning layer while allowing quick drainage after storms. It is commonly specified for municipal tot lots near Main Street and for private play areas in residential pockets north of Moab.
Contractors building concrete slabs and block walls rely on clean aggregates for proper mixes. Our Washed Sand removes fines and organics, making it suitable for concrete batching, stucco, and drainage layers. Washed sand is used extensively on job sites along the Crescent Junction corridor where reliable material quality matters for foundation work.
| Aggregate Type | Best Applications | Size Range | Drainage Rating | Compaction |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 3/4 inch Crushed Stone | Base under pavers, driveways, road subbase | 3/4 inch | Moderate | High |
| #57 Stone | French drains, filter layers, gabion backfill | 1/2 to 1 inch | Excellent | Low |
| Crusher Run | Driveway base, parking areas, temporary roads | Fines to 3/4 inch | Fair | Very High |
| Pea Gravel | Patios, seating areas, decorative beds | 3/8 inch | Good | Moderate |
| River Rock | Dry creek beds, accent planting, erosion control | 1 to 3 inches | Excellent | Low |
| Decomposed Granite | Walkways, plazas, compacted finishes | Fine to 3/8 inch | Good | Moderate |
| Road Base | County roads, heavy-use driveways | Fines to 1 inch | Fair | Very High |
| Drain Rock | Stormwater swales, drainage trenches | 3/4 to 2 inches | Excellent | Low |
Choosing the Right Aggregates for Your Moab Project
Selecting aggregates in Moab requires balancing aesthetics with performance in an arid climate. Aggregates that shed fines, resist washout and compact to a stable surface are preferable where seasonal runoff occurs. For example, residential driveways in River Road and Kane Creek often use layered assemblies: compacted fill dirt under a binder course of crusher run, with a top layer of driveway gravel to shed water and provide traction. For visitor-serving properties near Arches and Dead Horse Point, decorative aggregates like river rock and pea gravel offer both functionality and a natural look that complements sandstone vistas.
When assessing a project, consider soil type on site—Moab typically has sandy-loam soils mixed with wind-deposited silt, thin topsoils over sandstone, and occasional caliche. Sites with high sand content require finer binder courses to limit migration, while clayey pockets near the highway corridor may demand enhanced subdrainage. Proper gradation and compaction reduce maintenance over time and ensure that roads and patios remain stable under UV-intensive conditions.
| Sand Type | Best Applications | Texture | Common Uses in Moab |
|---|---|---|---|
| Mason Sand | Mortar, paver bedding | Fine, angular | Paver beds in Center Street patios, masonry in historic restorations |
| Playground Sand | Play areas, safety surfaces | Soft, medium | Municipal parks and private yards north of Moab |
| Washed Sand | Concrete mixes, stucco, drainage layers | Clean, uniform | Construction sites around Crescent Junction and Castle Valley |
Climate Considerations for Moab Aggregates
Moab receives approximately 9.0 inches of precipitation annually, concentrated in winter snow and the late-summer monsoon season. Average July highs reach about 97°F while January lows dip to near 20°F. These extremes—hot, dry summers and cold winter nights—mean materials must withstand thermal expansion and contraction as well as intense UV exposure. Aggregates that retain less fine material and that interlock under compaction reduce dust generation and maintain surface integrity under these conditions.
The regional geology—Navajo Sandstone, Entrada Sandstone and other formations of the Colorado Plateau—produces abundant sandstone-derived fines and local alluvial deposits. Where sites adjacent to the Colorado River or Mill Creek host finer sediments, installers should specify drainage rock or graded base to prevent clogging. Flash floods are rare but can be severe; designing drainage with #57 Stone or Drain Rock in critical locations reduces maintenance after storm events.
Popular Moab Project Applications
Local projects often include driveway rebuilds for remote properties, erosion control on slopes near river corridors, decorative hardscape for tourism-oriented lodging, and trail surfacing for private access roads. For historic home owners repairing walkways on Center Street, paver bed mixes with mason sand and decomposed granite are common. Contractors restoring ranch roads around Castle Valley use road base and crusher run to create durable access paths. Designers working on commercial visitor centers near Arches specify river rock for swales and pea gravel for patios where pedestrian comfort and drainage are both priorities.

Delivery costs depend on order volume, distance from our distribution point, and access conditions. Smaller urban drops within Moab may have lower delivery fees while remote deliveries to ranches or steep access roads will be quoted based on equipment and labor needed. Contact us with project details for a precise estimate.
Estimate gravel needs by calculating the surface area in square feet and multiplying by the desired depth in feet to get cubic feet, then divide by 27 to convert to cubic yards. For example, a 12 foot by 30 foot driveway at 4 inches deep is 1.33 cubic yards. We provide quantity guidance for driveways, walkways and drainage trenches and can help refine estimates based on compaction rates and local grading.
Given Moab's arid climate and sandy-loam soils, well-graded crushed stone like 3/4 inch crushed stone or a compacting binder such as crusher run is ideal for bases. For drainage, choose #57 stone or drain rock. For decorative uses, pea gravel and river rock integrate well with local sandstone hues while supporting quick runoff during monsoon events.
