The Diverse Functions of Construction Stone
Stone materials are fundamentally categorized by their function: structural base, drainage, and erosion control. Using the correct stone is non-negotiable for project longevity. We efficiently haul these key functional aggregates:
- Structural Stone (Crusher Run): Products like 3/4″ Crusher Run are crushed stone mixed with fine particles (“fines”). This mixture is vital because it compacts tightly into a rigid, non-shifting base. It is the mandatory foundation beneath every asphalt driveway, concrete slab, and paver patio, guaranteeing stability and load distribution.
- Drainage Stone (Clean Aggregates): These are washed, angular stones, such as 57 Stone, with all the fines removed. The goal is maximum permeability. These stones are essential for French drains, utility backfill, and concrete mixing, as they allow water to flow through freely, preventing hydrostatic pressure and water damage.
- Stabilization Stone (Heavy Rock): Larger, angular stones like 3 Rock and Riprap are used for heavy-duty stabilization. Their weight and size enable them to lock together immediately, making them essential for creating robust construction access roads and providing immediate defense against severe water erosion along ditches and steep banks.
Stone for Design and Aesthetics
Beyond its structural uses, stone is integral to landscape design, providing both beauty and function:
- River Rock: These are naturally smooth, rounded stones, prized for their aesthetic appeal. They are used to create decorative borders, natural-looking dry creek beds, and elegant ground cover. Their smooth surfaces contrast beautifully with foliage.
- Pea Gravel: Consisting of small, smooth, rounded stones, Pea Gravel is ideal for creating soft, permeable surfaces for walkways and patios. It provides a clean, uniform look that is easy to maintain and comfortable for pedestrian traffic.
- Decorative Crushed Stone: We haul various other stone types specified purely for their color and texture, used to accent planting beds or define specific areas within a landscape design.
