Crushed Stone, Sand and Gravel in Merchantville, NJ

New Jersey Rock Supply stocks gravel and aggregate delivery in Merchantville, NJ, from quarry process and clean stone to sand, topsoil and fill. The ground here is layered sand, silt and clay that holds water longer than the sandy soils southeast of us, so base and drainage choices matter.

Materials for Merchantville Projects

Most jobs in Merchantville start with grading and bed prep, and that work runs on soil and fill. Order screened Top Soil for lawns and beds, Garden Soil for raised beds and planting areas, and Fill Dirt to raise grade before a base goes down.

Once grade is set, the base material is quarry process, also called QP or 3/4 inch QP. It is 3/4 inch stone blended down to stone dust, and it compacts into the standard New Jersey base under driveways, parking pads, shed bases and pavers. Order QP (Quarry Process) for that layer.

Above the base, pick by use. 3/4" Trap Rock is the hard, dark crushed stone this state is known for, good for drives and drainage. Stone Dust is the usual setting bed for pavers and flagstone. #57 Stone, sold as clean stone, handles French drains and drainage behind retaining walls.

Sand and decorative stone finish the list. Mason Sand goes into brick and block work and paver joints. Washed Sand beds and levels under slabs. River Rock and Natural Pea Gravel cover decorative beds, borders and walkways. Shredded Mulch holds moisture in beds through summer.

Ground and Conditions in Merchantville

Start with where the water goes. This part of the Inner Coastal Plain has flat ground and clay layers, so low spots drain slowly and heavy rain backs up creeks running to the Delaware River. Summer storms and nor'easters dump water fast, and bare slopes scour.

For a driveway or pad, that means digging out soft material, building up in lifts of quarry process, and compacting each lift before the next. A single thick layer will not lock up the way compacted lifts do. Keep a solid layer of QP under a drive and more where trucks turn.

Where water sits, add a drainage layer. #57 Stone or Drain Rock in a French drain or drywell moves roof and yard water away from the base. On creek banks and slopes, RipRap armors the soil against runoff.

Freeze-thaw comes every winter, but it is milder here with much less snow than the northern hills. Frost depth runs 2 ft 6 in under the residential code in Camden County, so footings and base depths should account for it. Work runs most of the year, though frozen or waterlogged ground slows grading and base work in mid-winter and after long wet spells.

Delivery to Merchantville and the Surrounding Area

Bulk material arrives by dump truck, so have the drop spot ready before it pulls in. Clear the driveway, mark anything low, and tell us where the pile goes, since a load of quarry process or topsoil cannot be nudged once it is down.

Order online and size the load by the ton or the cubic yard. Measure your area, decide the depth, and let the calculator turn that into a quantity so you are not short halfway through a base.

We deliver in Merchantville and across Camden County, including Cherry Hill, Camden, Sicklerville, Pennsauken and Voorhees. If the truck cannot reach the work area, pick a spot that keeps the carry short.
