Choose a material based on the load, drainage, and how the area will be used. For pavers you generally want a stable, well-graded base material and a finer bedding layer; gravel, sand, dirt, stone options vary in strength and drainage. Consider local climate and freeze/thaw cycles in Martin County, and use our material calculator or contact our team for a recommendation based on your project size.

Skipping a compacted base increases the risk of sinking, shifting, and poor drainage over time. Most projects perform better with a compacted base layer topped by a finer bedding material; gravel, sand, dirt, stone choices will depend on soil conditions and expected loads. If you are unsure, our team can advise on a build-up that fits your site and local conditions.

A 20x20 patio is 400 square feet; for a 4-inch base that is about 5 cubic yards of material. Depending on material density, 5 cubic yards typically equals roughly 5 to 8 tons, but densities vary among gravel, sand, dirt, stone. Use our material calculator or request a quote to get a precise estimate for the specific material you plan to use.

If you need help, our team can recommend depths for gravel, sand, dirt, stone and other materials based on your project.
