Buying Guide

Getting the base right

Every driveway, path and pad is only as good as its base. Base materials mix stone with fines so they compact into a near-solid layer that carries weight, sheds water and keeps the surface from sinking.
Crusher run
Stone-and-dust mix that compacts nearly solid. The go-to under driveways and on slopes.
Road base
Engineered blend for brand-new driveway and pad foundations.
Decomposed granite
Compacts to a firm, wheelchair-friendly path surface with a warm natural look.

Frequently asked questions

How thick should a base layer be?+
4” compacted for driveways and pads, 2” for walking paths. Compact in 2” passes for the strongest result.
Crusher run vs road base?+
Both compact hard. Crusher run is the classic driveway choice; road base is a graded blend built for new foundations. Either works under most projects.
Can I use decomposed granite as a surface?+
Yes — DG doubles as base and finished surface for paths and patios. Compacted, it’s nearly solid underfoot.
Is delivery really free?+
Yes — every price you see includes dump-truck delivery to your address. Enter your zip code on the product page to confirm your area and see the next available delivery date.
Where does the truck unload?+
Wherever you point — the driver dumps the load exactly where you want it, as long as the truck can safely reach the spot. We confirm access before dispatch.
