Washed Sand Delivery for Port Monmouth, NJ

How do you raise a low lot or build a pad that stays put? You start with gravel and aggregate delivery in Port Monmouth, NJ, and you start with the fill. New Jersey Rock Supply brings Fill Dirt and quarry process, the local QP base, to yards and job sites across Monmouth County.

This ground is layered sand, silt and clay, and it holds water better than the sands farther southeast. That makes what goes under a pad matter as much as the pad itself.

Delivery to Port Monmouth and the Surrounding Area

Order online and pick your quantity by the ton or the yard. Bulk material arrives on a dump truck, so tell us where the pile can sit and the driver will place it as close to the work as the truck can safely reach.

We deliver in Port Monmouth and to Middletown, Howell, Marlboro, Long Branch and Neptune, all in Monmouth County. Flat ground and clay layers slow drainage in low spots, so many buyers stack fill and base in one order and spread both the same week.

Materials for Port Monmouth Projects

Most work here starts below grade. If your lot sits low, or you are building a pad for a shed, garage or addition, you raise the grade before anything else goes down.

Fill Dirt, also called clean fill, is the bulk material for backfill and raising grade. Spread it in lifts and compact it before a quarry process base goes on top.

QP (Quarry Process), also called qp, 3/4 inch qp, dga or dense graded aggregate, is the standard New Jersey base. It is a blend of 3/4 inch stone down to stone dust that compacts into a hard, tight layer. Use it under driveways, parking pads, shed bases and pavers.

3/4" Trap Rock is the hard, dark crushed stone New Jersey is known for. It tops a compacted base on drives and handles drainage at the same time.

For a driveway, a patio and a drain, the order changes more than the stone does:

Under pavers, Stone Dust is the usual setting bed over a QP base. It firms up and holds the joints. For anything that must drain fast, washed clean stone such as #57 stone or #57 Stone lets water pass instead of trapping it.

Ground and Conditions in Port Monmouth

Start from the soil. Layered sand, silt and clay sits under most of this ground, and clay does not drain. An under-built base on clay pumps, shifts and ruts once a truck crosses it.

Flat ground and those clay layers slow drainage in low spots, and heavy rain from summer storms, nor'easters and tropical systems backs up creeks running to Raritan Bay. Runoff also scours creek banks and bare slopes in downpours. Riprap armors those banks, culvert outlets and slopes against storm runoff.

Freeze-thaw comes every winter, but it is milder here with far less snow than in the northern hills. The residential code puts frost depth at 2 ft 6 in in Monmouth County, which is why footings and base depths are set the way they are. Work runs through most of the year; frozen or waterlogged ground mainly slows base and grading work in mid-winter and after long wet spells.

Questions About Fill and Base in Port Monmouth

What is the best base under pavers in Port Monmouth?

Quarry process, the local QP, is the standard base. It is a blend of 3/4 inch stone down to stone dust that compacts into a hard, dense layer, and it is what New Jersey contractors specify under pavers. Spread it in lifts, compact each one, then set the pavers on a stone dust bed over the top.
