Decomposed Granite (DG)

Decomposed granite (DG) offers a unique blend of natural aesthetics and practical functionality, making it a popular choice for various projects. Its fine, gravel-like texture provides a naturally rustic and earthy appearance that complements a wide range of landscapes. Unlike loose gravel, DG often contains fine particles that help it bind together, creating a more stable and semi-permeable surface ideal for pathways, patios, and driveways with light traffic. This binding quality reduces dust and erosion compared to traditional gravel while still allowing for good drainage. Furthermore, DG is relatively easy to install and maintain, offering an affordable and attractive alternative to more formal paving materials, particularly in informal or naturalistic settings. Its ability to blend seamlessly with the surrounding environment makes it a favored material for those seeking a harmonious and low-impact landscaping solution.

Ideal for:

Pathways and Trails
Patios and Seating Areas
Driveways (Light Traffic)
Landscaping Ground Cover
Base Material
Tree Rings and Planting Beds

Recycled Base Rock

Choosing recycled base rock offers significant advantages in sustainability and cost-effectiveness. This material is derived from the crushing and processing of concrete waste. By repurposing concrete waste, it conserves natural resources, reduces landfill burden, and often lowers energy consumption and emissions compared to new materials. Furthermore, the presence of fine concrete dust within the material actually improves its compaction, leading to a denser and more stable base. Despite being recycled, this processed material provides reliable strength and durability, meeting project needs while being environmentally responsible.

Recycled Base Rock is ideal for the following projects:

Driveways
Road and Highway Base Materials
Driveway and Parking Lot Base Materials
Base for Paving Stones and Pavers
Retaining Wall Backfill

Class II Base Rock

Class II base rock offers a robust and economical foundation for a wide range of construction and landscaping projects. As a processed aggregate material, it's engineered to provide excellent compaction and stability, creating a solid sub-base for driveways, parking areas, and building foundations. Its blend of different-sized particles, including fines, allows it to lock together tightly, resulting in a dense and load-bearing surface that resists shifting and settling. Base rock prioritizes performance and cost-effectiveness, making it an ideal choice when a strong, durable, and budget-friendly base material is the primary concern for ensuring the long-term integrity of the project.

Class II Base Rock is ideal for the following projects:

Driveways
Road and Highway Base Materials
Driveway and Parking Lot Base Materials
Base for Paving Stones and Pavers
