Crushed Stone, Sand and Gravel in Port Elizabeth, NJ

Order gravel and aggregate delivery in Port Elizabeth, NJ from New Jersey Rock Supply. Pick your material, pick your tonnage, and we drop it on site. Start with quarry process, the local name for the 3/4 inch dense graded base blend of stone down to stone dust. It is what most driveways and pads here get built on.

Port Elizabeth sits in Cumberland County, on deep sandy ground that drains fast and shifts under a load. The right base fixes that.

Materials for Port Elizabeth Projects

Base comes first, then the stone, sand and soil that sit on top of it. Here is how the families break down for a Port Elizabeth job.

Base and Driveway Material

Quarry process, also called QP, 3/4 inch QP or DGA, is the standard New Jersey base. It compacts tight and locks up hard. Use it under drives, parking pads, shed bases and pavers, spread in lifts and compacted into a solid base for a drive.

QP (Quarry Process) is the one to order for base work. Crusher Run is a similar binding blend that some crews use for the same work. Fill Dirt raises grade and backfills before any base goes down.

Washed Stone and Drainage

Washed stone lets water move. #57 Stone, sold locally as clean stone or 3/4 inch clean stone, handles French drains, retaining wall drainage and drive surfacing. 3/4" Trap Rock is the hard, dark crushed stone New Jersey is known for, good for drives and topping over a compacted base. Drain Rock covers drywells, foundation drains and downspout runs.

Sand, Soil and Decorative Stone

Mason Sand beds brick, block and paver joints. Washed Sand levels and beds under slabs. Top Soil, screened, preps lawns and beds over this sandy ground. Natural Pea Gravel suits walkways, play areas and patio borders. River Rock and Large River Rock finish beds, borders and dry creek beds.

Ground and Conditions in Port Elizabeth

Start with the water. Rain and snowmelt soak straight into the deep, loose sand here, so open ground sheds a storm fast. Low ground is the problem. Where the water table sits near the surface, and along the bay and river mouths, nor'easters and tropical storms push tidal flooding in.

That shapes your base. On high, well-drained sand, quarry process compacted in lifts holds a drive for years. On low or saturated ground, dig out the soft material first, then build up with clean stone so water has somewhere to go before the base goes on.

Loose sand also washes out of unpaved drives, ditches and bare slopes in a downpour. Line those runs with rip rap or larger clean stone to slow the water down. Shorelines on the bay lose ground in coastal storms, and rip rap armors banks, culvert outlets and slopes against that.

Timing is friendly. Sandy ground can usually be worked through much of the winter. Coastal storm tides and saturated low ground are the real hold-ups, and coastal storms come most often from October to April. Frost depth runs 2 ft 6 in under the NJ residential code, so footings and base depths get set to that line.

Delivery to Port Elizabeth and the Surrounding Area

Order online by the ton or by the cubic yard. Bulk material arrives on a dump truck and is tipped where you want it, so plan the spot before the truck rolls.

Have the drop area clear and firm, with room for the truck to pull in and out. Mark any septic lid, sprinkler head or soft edge you want avoided. If the ground is soft from rain, say so when you order and we can place the pile closer to the road.
