Bulk Aggregates for Drainage in North Bergen, NJ

New Jersey Rock Supply handles gravel and aggregate delivery in North Bergen, NJ, and most jobs here start with water. Compact glacial till, clay-rich old lake beds and built-up ground shed storm water fast, so a quarry process base under a drive or patio only performs if the drainage below it does.

That is why we lead with washed stone. It drains, it does not hold fines, and it belongs under the base rather than mixed into it.

Materials for North Bergen Projects

Washed stone is the backbone of drainage work here, and the size you pick depends on where the water has to go. We stock the full range of sizes for French drains, drywells, foundation drains and downspout runs.

Coarse Sizes

#4 Crushed Stone is the heaviest drainage option we carry, at roughly 1 1/2 inch clean stone. Use it for trench bottoms, construction entrances and heavy draw, then step down to a finer washed stone around your perforated pipe.

#57 Stone is the one most North Bergen crews ask for. This washed 3/4 inch clean stone wraps a French drain, backs a retaining wall and surfaces a drive. #67 Stone does the same job at a slightly smaller size.

Drain Rock is the general-purpose choice for drywells, foundation drains and downspout runs where you want void space that water moves through freely. For fine drainage, pipe bedding and tight spots, step down to 3/8" Crushed Stone or #8 Crushed Stone.

Medium and Fine Sizes

Once the drainage layer is set, the base goes on top of it. QP (Quarry Process), the material this market calls quarry process or simply QP, is a blend of 3/4 inch stone down to stone dust that compacts into a hard, binding base. It is the standard New Jersey base for driveways, parking pads and shed bases, and it goes over fill, never over a soft subgrade.

Above that, Stone Dust gives you a firm setting bed for pavers and flagstone. Nothing here is decorative first. Every size has a job in a drainage or base build.

Ground and Conditions in North Bergen

Timing drives the schedule here as much as material does. Base, driveway and paver work runs from spring into late fall, and frozen or saturated ground slows compaction in mid-winter and after big storms. If a delivery lands on ground that is still saturated, the stone you spread will not lock up the way it should.

Frost matters too. North Bergen sees real freeze-thaw every winter, and the New Jersey residential code puts frost depth at 3 ft. That is why we dig a base deep enough to sit below the movement instead of on top of it.

Water is the other half of the plan. The Passaic, Pompton, Hackensack and Saddle river basins flood after heavy rain and tropical storm remnants, and that runoff cuts into bare soil and steep ridge slopes. Around the Meadowlands and Newark Bay, much of the ground is former tidal marsh and fill, which drains unevenly and needs a proper drainage layer before you build on it. Heavy rain also scours stream banks and channels through the river valleys, so bank work calls for RipRap sized to the flow.

Delivery to North Bergen and the Surrounding Area

Order online and we deliver bulk material by the ton or by the yard, whichever way you price the job. Coverage runs across North Bergen and Hudson County, including Jersey City, Bayonne, Union City, Hoboken and West New York.

Typical lead time depends on the material and the season, so plan around your pour date rather than the day you call. Our drivers need clear, firm access to the drop point, and a spot that stays solid under a loaded truck. If your site has a tight approach, tell us where the pile should land and we work from there.

Put the measurements into the calculator to convert them to tons, so you are not short a load or sitting on extra stone.
