What material can I use on my driveway?
We recommend our Class 2 Virgin Aggregate Base, which has fines for compaction or our Class 2 Recycle Aggregate Base, which is comprised of crushed concrete, asphalt, porcelain, and brick. Our Recycle Base is the more cost effective product for this application. If mud is a problem on your driveway during the winter months, our 3/4″ or 1 ½ ” drain rock will create a firm surface.
What product can I use under a concrete slab?
Any material can be used under a concrete slab, though 3/8″ chip and 3/4″ drain are self-compacting materials. If you use subbase or base rock, you will need to compact the material before you pour your concrete.

Depending on the amount of drainage you need, we carry 3/4″ or 1 ½” inch drain rock. The bigger the rock the better the drainage, because the space voids will carry excess moisture away.

What is the difference between your virgin and recycled aggregates?
Our virgin products only contain Aggregate Base Rock and rock fines. Our recycled base product can include concrete, asphalt, brick, porcelain and tile with rock fines. They both provide the exact same properties and support for your project, so it depends mainly on customer preference.
What’s the difference between compacting and self-compacting products?
Compacting products (Aggregate Base, Quarry Fines, Aggregate Subbase) contain rock fines that compact and require a material to be placed on top of them to keep the fines from turning muddy in the winter seasons. Non-compacting materials (Drain Rock, Chip, Rip Rap) do not contain fines, although due to the angular structure of the rock, the individual pieces will fit together to a degree. Non-compacting products do not require a cover material.
