1 1/2" Hardpac

Inch-and-a-half hardpac is a compactable crushed stone-and-fines base blend — angular stone graded from about 1½" down to sand and fines so it packs into a firm, locked surface. It's a speckled, multicolor mix of tan, brown, and gray with white, rust-red, and darker charcoal pieces, and the range of sizes is what lets it compact tight. That makes it a practical base and subbase under driveways, pavers, and slabs, and a stable, economical driving surface through New England winters. Hello Gravel delivers it in bulk across the Amherst–Northampton area.

Frequently Asked Questions

Use the calculator with your length, width, and depth. A compacted 4" base is common under driveways and pavers, deeper over soft ground.
Delivered in bulk in the Amherst–Northampton service area. Choose an accessible, level drop spot clear of obstructions.
The fines fill the gaps between the stone so it compacts firm and locks together — that's what makes it a strong base, as opposed to a clean stone that stays loose.
No — because it packs tight it's meant for a firm base. For drainage, use a clean washed stone.
Bulk stone, sand, and soil are not returnable once delivered. Use the calculator and round up slightly if you're close.
