Base Material for Driveways and Pads

Compacted Gravel & Road Base Delivery

For driveways, pads, and access roads, the goal is compactable base material close enough to source to stay affordable. We quote AB3, road base, crusher run, and similar base aggregates by ZIP when stocked nearby.

FAQ

Common Questions

What gravel compacts best for driveways?

A base aggregate with fines, such as AB3, road base, or crusher run, usually compacts better than clean rounded gravel.

Is compacted gravel sold farther away?

Usually no. Base aggregate is freight-sensitive and should be quoted near the quarry or active supply point unless the project is large enough for a custom lane.

Is AB3 the same as road base?

AB3 is a spec-style base aggregate. Road base and crusher run can behave similarly, but exact gradation varies. Send the spec if the job requires one.

Do I need clean stone or base with fines?

Use clean stone when drainage through the layer is the priority. Use base with fines when compaction and a firm driving surface are the priority.
