Materials such as crusher run or stone with fines will compact and bind into a firm surface, but they remain permeable and will not reach concrete strength. For a true hardened surface consider concrete, asphalt, or a stabilized gravel product using polymeric binders or a small amount of cement added to the aggregate; discuss options with our team for what suits Phoenix's climate.
