How much material will my project need?

Multiply length by width by depth in feet, then divide by 27 for cubic yards, or use the tonnage figure for the stone you pick. A decorative bed usually wants a thin layer of finish stone over a compacted quarry process base. Order the base and the surface stone together so the layers go down in one pass.

Can I order material by the ton for delivery in Cape May?

Yes. Bulk stone, sand, topsoil and mulch are sold by the ton or the yard and delivered by truck to your Cape May address. Choose the material, enter your quantity, and schedule the drop. If you are unsure between two sizes, order the one that matches the drainage or bedding job you are doing.

How is the material measured?

You can order by the ton or by the cubic yard, whichever suits how you plan the job. If you tell us the area you are covering and the depth you want, we will work the quantity out with you rather than leaving you to guess.

Walkway Gravel and Washed Stone in Cape May, NJ

What do you order for gravel and aggregate delivery in Cape May, NJ? For most projects you start with quarry process, the dense graded base local crews call QP, then top it with the decorative or washed stone the finished surface needs. New Jersey Rock Supply delivers both to the island.

Ground here is beach and dune sand, so a bed or path that sits on bare sand alone will shift. A compacted base fixes that.

Materials for Cape May Projects

Decorative work drives most orders on the island. Beds, borders, dry creek beds and ground cover all need stone that looks right and stays put in wind and runoff.

River Rock for decorative beds, borders and dry creek beds.
Large River Rock where a dry creek bed or slope needs heavier stone.
Natural Pea Gravel for walkways, patio borders and play areas.
Stone Dust for paver and flagstone bedding and a firm path surface.
QP (Quarry Process) for the compacted base under all of it.

Every decorative surface needs a base first. Spread quarry process, compact it, then set the finish stone on top so the bed does not sink into the sand.

Ground and Conditions in Cape May

The ground is beach and dune sand, often mixed with fill, on a low, flat island with salt marsh and bay mud along the back bay side. Sand drains fast, but it also moves, so an under-built base is the most common failure here.

Rain sinks in quickly, yet the water table sits shallow and storm tides push water up through low streets from the back bays as well as the ocean. That is why drainage layers matter as much as surface stone.

Nor'easters and hurricanes cut back beaches and dunes, and wind and storm water carry sand over dunes onto lots, drives and roads. Riprap and heavier stone hold shorelines and slope edges against that runoff.

Coastal storms are most frequent from October to April and rarely does a winter pass without at least one significant one, so plan exposed work around storm tides. The ocean keeps late fall and early winter milder than the mainland, so freeze-thaw is light and snow is rarely a long-lasting problem. Frost depth is 2 ft 6 in under the NJ residential code.
