Base Gravels

HOW TO CALCULATE CUBIC YARDS NEEDED:

(Square Footage × 0.01) × (Depth in Inches ÷ 3) = Cubic Yards Needed

HOW TO CALCULATE LBS NEEDED:

Cubic Yards Needed × 2,700 = Lbs Needed

HOW TO CALCULATE BAGS NEEDED:

Lbs Needed ÷ Weight per Bag (lbs) = Bags Needed

CRUSHED BASE GRAVELS:

Compactable crushed rock used beneath retaining walls and paver installations for a stable, well-draining foundation. An essential base material for lasting hardscape work. Bulk orders (by the yard) require delivery — on-site loading is not available.

1/4″- (QUARTER MINUS)
AVAILABLE: 50LB BAGS | BULK (BY YARD)
A compactable base material ideal for patios and small to medium retaining walls. This blend of ¼” stone and fines compacts tightly and can be leveled for direct paver installation—no sand layer needed. We recommend 3” of compacted base for most projects.

5/8″- (FIVE EIGHTS MINUS)
AVAILABLE: 50LB BAGS | BULK (BY YARD)
A compactable base material ideal for patios and retaining walls. This blend of 5/8” stone and fines compacts well but may require a ½–1” layer of builder’s sand for leveling. We recommend 3” of compacted base for most projects.

8840 (3/8″ CLEAN CRUSHED)
AVAILABLE: 50LB BAGS | BULK (BY YARD)
A clean, free-draining 3/8” crushed rock with no fines. Ideal as a base for patios, walls, and permeable paver systems. Recommended for use as joint fill with Eco Priora installations.

8820 (5/8″ CLEAN CRUSHED)
AVAILABLE: 50LB BAGS | BULK (BY YARD)
A clean, 5/8” crushed rock with no fines. Ideal for driveways and heavy-duty retaining walls where strength and drainage are key. Requires roughly 1” of builder’s sand for leveling.

BUILDER’S SAND
AVAILABLE: 50LB BAGS | BULK (BY YARD)
Recommended as a leveling layer when using larger crushed rock (over ¼”) as base. This coarse sand has varied grain sizes and should not be confused with paver joint sand, which is fine and used between pavers.

ROUND WASHED ROCKS:

A versatile and affordable option for garden beds, retaining wall backfill, or as a drainage layer beneath decorative pebbles. These clean gravels provide excellent drainage and a tidy finish. Note: Color may vary by supplier, and matching existing material is not guaranteed. Bulk orders require delivery, as on-site loading is unavailable.

7/8″ WASH DRAIN
AVAILABLE: 50LB BAGS | BULK (BY YARD)
7/8” Wash Drain is a rounded pebble with average size just below an inch. It is best used to fill in French drains or behind retaining walls where it will be visible and fast drainage is important. Like all round rocks, this should not be used as a base under pavers or wall blocks.

1.5” Wash Drain
AVAILABLE: 50LB BAGS | BULK (BY YARD)
1.5” Wash Drain is a rounded pebble with average size of about one and a half inches. It is best used to fill in French drains or behind retaining walls where it will be visible and fast drainage is important. Like all round rocks, this should not be used as a base under pavers or wall blocks.

3/8″ PEA GRAVEL
AVAILABLE: 50LB BAGS | BULK (BY YARD)
A small, rounded 3/8” rock commonly used in landscape beds and walkways for a soft, natural texture. Offers excellent drainage and aesthetic appeal. Not recommended as a base under pavers or walls, as it won’t compact or stay in place.
