Crushed Stone, Sand and Gravel in Port Murray, NJ

Order gravel and aggregate delivery in Port Murray, NJ online by the ton or the yard. New Jersey Rock Supply drops bulk material at your driveway, pad or job site. Start with quarry process, the base this market builds on.

Ground here is stony and rocky over hard gneiss and shale, with rock close to the surface on the ridges. That shallow rock sets your base depth before you order a single load.

Materials for Port Murray Projects

Driveways carry most of the work here. Build them in layers, and each layer has its own material.

Start with QP (Quarry Process). Quarry process, also called QP, 3/4 inch QP or DGA, is a blend of 3/4 inch stone down to stone dust. It binds and compacts into the standard New Jersey base for driveways, parking pads, shed bases and the layer under pavers. Spread it, wet it, compact it.

Top that base with 3/4" Trap Rock. Trap rock is the hard, dark crushed stone New Jersey is known for. It wears well under tires and sheds water off the surface.

Want a lighter surface? Driveway Gravel and Walkway Gravel finish drives and paths that need a finer, walkable top.

For drainage, order #57 Stone or Drain Rock for French drains, drywells and downspout runs. Washed 3/4 inch #57 is what most suppliers here call clean stone.

Set pavers on Stone Dust, the usual setting bed over a QP base. For lawns and beds, Top Soil goes down screened over this rocky ground.

Ground and Conditions in Port Murray

Rain and snowmelt run fast off steep, rocky slopes and shallow rock. That water has to go somewhere, and in the narrow valley floors and river flats it floods after heavy storms.

Plan for it. Put a drainage layer of #57 stone or Drain Rock behind retaining walls and under downspouts. Pitch every drive away from the building so runoff leaves instead of pooling on your new base.

Thin soil on steep slopes washes out in heavy rain, and fast runoff scours stream banks, ditches and unpaved drives. Arm those spots with RipRap before the next storm takes more ground.

This is the hardest freeze-thaw zone in the state. Snowfall averages 40 to 50 inches a year, and frost depth runs 3 ft under the NJ residential code. Dig your base deep enough to sit below that movement.

Winter sets the schedule. Frozen, snow-covered or thawing ground holds up base and grading work longer here than anywhere else in New Jersey. The last spring frost lands around May 4 and the first fall frost around October 7, so book grading and base work inside that window.
