Gravel

We deliver every grade

Sand Gravel

Sand and gravel is a natural mix of small rock and sand pulled straight from a pit or riverbed. One load has grains the size of table salt all the way up to rocks about an inch or two across, jumbled together. The pieces are usually rounded because water and weather smoothed them over time. That range of sizes is why it packs down so tight when you compact it. The sand fills the gaps between the bigger stones.

You'll hear this stuff called bank run, pit run, or just pit gravel depending on where you live. It's cheaper than crushed or washed rock because the pit doesn't do much to it before it goes on the truck. There's no crushing and no screening down to one size, so you pay for the material and not the processing. That makes it a workhorse for backfill, rough grading, and building up low spots before you cap them with a cleaner top layer.

How to choose within sand gravel

Foot traffic

Pea gravel and river rock feel good barefoot but shift underfoot; use a border so they stay where you put them.

Vehicle traffic

Round gravel rolls under tires. Pick angular crushed stone for a driveway; save rounded gravel for garden paths and beds.

Drainage

All of these drain well. Bigger pieces drain faster; smaller pieces pack tighter.
