#57 Stone and Bulk Aggregates for Essex Fells, NJ

Before you pick a material for gravel and aggregate delivery in Essex Fells, NJ, figure out how much you need. Measure the area, decide the depth, then use the calculator to size the load in tons or cubic yards so it covers the job. New Jersey Rock Supply sells the whole list in bulk, from quarry process base to washed stone for drainage.

Most jobs here start with quarry process, our local name for the 3/4 inch blend of stone and dust that packs into a hard base.

Materials for Essex Fells Projects

Drainage is the reason most Essex Fells calls come in. Wet ground, downspout runs and low corners all need washed stone, because the fines in a base material hold water and a clean stone lets it move. Size decides where each one works.

• #4 Crushed Stone is the coarsest drainage stone we stock, sold locally as 1 1/2 inch clean stone. Use it in trench bottoms, heavy French drains and construction entrances.
• #57 Stone is the workhorse for French drains, drywells and drainage behind retaining walls. New Jersey suppliers sell washed 3/4 inch as clean stone, and this is the one most crews order.
• #67 Stone runs slightly smaller than #57 and fits the same drainage work where the pipe or the opening is tighter.
• Drain Rock covers downspout runs, foundation drains and drywells as a general drainage stone.
• #8 Crushed Stone and #89 Crushed Stone handle fine drainage and paver joints where you want small washed stone.

Under all of it you still need a base. QP (Quarry Process) is the standard here, and stone dust is the usual setting bed over it for pavers and flagstone.

Ground and Conditions in Essex Fells

Base, driveway and paver work runs from spring into late fall. Frozen or saturated ground slows compaction in mid-winter and after big storms, so timing a delivery matters as much as the material.

You are working on red shale and sandstone bedrock with basalt ridges, mostly covered by compact glacial till, sand and gravel, or silt and clay from old glacial lakes. That ground sheds water quickly, and the river basins flood after heavy rain. So build a thicker drainage layer and grade away from the house.

Freeze-thaw is real every winter at a frost depth of 3 ft under the NJ residential code, so dig your base below that line.
