Bulk Aggregates for Pathways in Lodi, NJ

Order gravel and aggregate delivery in Lodi, NJ by the ton or the cubic yard. New Jersey Rock Supply drops bulk loads at homes and job sites throughout Bergen County. Start with quarry process for the compacted base, then pick your surface layer. Ground here is compact glacial till, so water sheds fast and a path fails from a thin base, not from the stone on top.

Materials for Lodi Projects

In Lodi, a path or walkway holds together only when the fines are right. That means the screenings and dust that lock together underfoot, plus the clean stone that drains beneath them. Build the layers in order and the surface stays flat for years.

Set pavers, flagstone and bluestone on Stone Dust. It is the usual New Jersey setting bed, roughly an inch over a compacted base, and it firms up hard once you wet and tamp it. Sweep the same material into the joints for a tight finish.

Spread Walkway Gravel where you want a loose, walkable surface without pavers. Rake it to an even depth and it knits together under foot traffic. For a softer look, Natural Pea Gravel at 3/8 inch suits garden paths, patio borders and play areas.

Under all of it goes a base. QP (Quarry Process) is the standard New Jersey choice, a blend of 3/4 inch stone down to stone dust that compacts into a hard, bound layer. Where a path meets a downspout or a low spot, add #57 Stone as clean, washed drainage stone.

Ground and Conditions in Lodi

A thin base shows itself fast here. You get rutting at the edge, sunken pavers, and puddles that sit for a day after a storm. The cause is usually a thin layer of stone where a much thicker base was needed.

Lodi sits on compact glacial till over red shale and sandstone, with clay-rich old lake beds and built-up ground near the Meadowlands. Water sheds quickly instead of soaking in. Build it thicker and grade it well: a solid layer of quarry process for a footpath, more under a drive, crowned so water runs off.

Freeze-thaw hits every winter, and the state residential code sets frost depth at 3 feet. Base, driveway and paver work runs spring into late fall. Frozen or saturated ground will not compact, so wait out a mid-winter or post-storm thaw rather than rolling wet material.

Delivery to Lodi and the Surrounding Area

Order online and choose your unit. Sold by the ton, material weighs out; sold by the cubic yard, it measures by volume. Bagged stone is weighed, bulk stone is not, so a yard of trap rock and a yard of stone dust do not weigh the same.

Estimate with length times width times depth, all in feet, then divide by 27 for cubic yards. Add about 10 percent for compaction and spillage. Check the calculator on each product page before you order.

We deliver bulk loads across Lodi and Bergen County, including Hackensack, Teaneck, Fort Lee, Fair Lawn and Garfield. Pick a drop spot the truck can reach and that keeps the pile off the street.

Questions About Stone and Gravel in Lodi

What should I have ready when the truck arrives?

Clear the drop area first and mark any sprinkler heads, drains or pavers you want left alone. The driver needs a firm, level approach with room to raise the bed and pull out. Tell us your gate width and any overhead wires when you order, because a loaded truck cannot back into a tight space. Put down plywood if the load lands on asphalt in warm weather.

What is the best base under pavers in Lodi?

Quarry process, sold on the site as QP (Quarry Process). It is a blend of 3/4 inch stone down to stone dust, and it compacts into a hard, bound layer that holds up over the compact glacial till under most of Lodi. Build a solid base, compacted in lifts, then set your pavers on a thin layer of stone dust over that base.
