One of many advantages of gravel installation is the ability to create a look that is unique to you and your vision. There's a variety of gravel bases to choose from depending on the design and purpose of your installation. We recommend using crushed stone or run as the gravel base for a new gravel driveway.
Crushed stone is most commonly used for driveways, walkways and base material for pavers. Pea gravel is purposeful for designing around soil in your garden or landscaping with stone features. River rock is best for large, decorative stone projects such as water features, rock gardens or enhancing an exterior border. Limestone is a popular and affordable option for small decorative stone features or large-scale jobs like road surfacing or installing a new driveway.
For asphalt, marble chips or concrete installation, we advise contacting other companies who offer this specialty.
