Description
Build a solid, long-lasting base with Dark Grey Quarry Blend Stone from Garoppo's. Get dependable compaction for driveways, patios, walkways, and paver projects that stay put through freeze-thaw and heavy traffic. Lock in a 3/4 inch blend that interlocks tight, resists shifting, and supports clean, even finishes above. Order bulk by the ton for full installations or a 50 lb bag for repairs, top-ups, and smaller projects.
Pack Sizes
- Per Ton (bulk): Cover driveways, patio sub-bases, shed pads, and pathways. Best when you're installing from scratch or laying a full base.
- 50 LB Bag (retail): Easy to handle for base repairs, sinkhole fills, drainage trenches, and spot work where a ton is more than you need.
Key Features
- Compacts fast: Create a dense, stable base that won't rut.
- Angular aggregate: Interlocks under vibration for superior load support.
- Consistent grading: Helps achieve level surfaces with fewer passes.
- Dark grey color: Uniform look if edges are exposed along borders.
- Weather ready: Performs reliably through wet seasons and freeze-thaw cycles.
Applications
Use as base material under pavers, slabs, and natural stone. Set a sturdy foundation for driveways, shed pads, and pathways. Support small retaining wall projects with a compacted sub-base that stays stable over time. Fill drainage trenches and French drain beds where an angular compacting aggregate keeps water moving.

Installation Tips

- Finish properly: Top with a bedding layer of concrete sand before setting pavers.
