Common uses for our aggregates
- Driveway Gravel - engineered mixes for long lasting residential and rural driveways
- 3/4 inch Crushed Stone - excellent for base layers, pavers, and concrete subbase

Benefits of choosing the right aggregates

Sands & Bedding Materials
Playground areas, masonry projects, and paver installations in Hanover County need clean, well graded sand. We stock multiple sand types for contractors and homeowners.
Available sand products
- Mason Sand - for mortar, bedding, and shaping beds
- Playground Sand - soft, washed sand for safe play surfaces
- Washed Sand - ideal for paver joints and finishing beds
Project types for sand

Soils and Fill
Hanover County's mixed Piedmont soils often require imported soils and fill for landscaping, planting, and grading projects. We deliver clean options for both top dressing and structural fill.
Soil and fill products
- Topsoil - screened topsoil for lawns, garden beds, and planting
- Fill Dirt - clean fill for raising grades, backfill, and leveling
Why imported topsoil matters here
Many Hanover County lots sit on clay-rich subsoils that compact and drain poorly. Bringing in screened topsoil helps new lawns and plantings establish quickly and improves water infiltration in warmer months.
Decorative & Specialty Rock
For residential and municipal projects requiring aesthetic stone, we offer a range of decorative rocks and specialty products delivered across Hanover County.
Decorative rock options
- River Rock - smooth, rounded stone for beds and water features
- Pea Gravel - fine rounded gravel for walkways and play areas
- Walkway Gravel - screened, fine surface stone for paths
- Decomposed Granite - natural looking aggregate for paths and low maintenance areas
Benefits of decorative stone
- Low maintenance and long life in Hanover County climate
- Helps control erosion on sloped properties by stabilizing soil
- Enhances curb appeal for historic and modern properties alike
Base, Driveway & Drainage Solutions
Proper base and drainage choices extend pavement life and prevent erosion in Hanover County's variable weather. We provide contractor-grade materials for these needs.
Base and drainage products
- Crusher Run - compacting base for pavers and driveways
- Drain Rock - angular rock for French drains and pipe surrounds
- Road Base - engineered material for heavier duty access roads
Common Hanover County projects
- Rural driveway rebuilds and resurfacing
- French drains around foundations and lawn low spots
- Construction site stabilization and road building
Why Our Aggregates Work in Hanover County
Hanover County sits on Piedmont geology with clayey soils and weathered rock. That means drainage and frost heave are common concerns. Choosing the right aggregates reduces long term maintenance and improves performance in local climate conditions.
Local geology and soil notes
The county's soils often include red and yellow clays with variable sand content. Driveways and grading projects typically benefit from angular crushed stone bases that lock together and move moisture away from structures.
Climate and performance
Hot, humid summers and occasional freezing winters create seasonal expansion and contraction. Proper aggregate selection — base rock plus a durable surfacing material — reduces washouts and rutting across seasons.

Material Selection by Project
Driveways and access roads
For most Hanover County driveways we recommend a compacted base of crusher run or road base, capped with 3/4 inch crushed stone or a durable driveway gravel surfacing. This combination handles seasonal heave and water runoff better than loose, rounded stone.
Drainage and French drains
Use angular #57 Stone or drain rock around perforated pipe to ensure long term flow and minimize clogging from local silty soils.
Garden beds and turf repair
Screened topsoil blended with compost creates better establishment on clay sites. Topsoil also helps level sites for sod or seed in the hotter summer months.
