Pea Gravel, Stone and Soil Delivery in Robbinsville, NJ

What do you order when water will not leave your yard? For gravel and aggregate delivery in Robbinsville, NJ, New Jersey Rock Supply starts most wet-ground jobs with washed stone. That means clean stone and drain rock first, then quarry process for the base once the water has somewhere to go.

Robbinsville sits on layered sand, silt and clay, and those clay layers hold water in the low spots. The right stone size does more for a wet yard here than any amount of fill.

Materials for Robbinsville Projects

Drainage is the first order of business on most Robbinsville jobs, so start with washed stone and work down through the sizes. Washed stone has no dust left in it, so water moves through the voids instead of sitting on top.

For a French drain or a drywell, order Drain Rock or #57 Stone. Both are washed, so the trench drains instead of silting up. Run a downspout into the same stone and the water leaves the foundation.

Where a trench bottom needs something coarser, use #4 Crushed Stone at 1 1/2 inch. For tight bedding around pipe, 3/8" Crushed Stone is the finer washed option.

Once drainage is handled, build the base. QP (Quarry Process) is the standard New Jersey base, a blend of 3/4 inch stone down to stone dust that compacts hard. Finish a paver job with Stone Dust as the setting bed.

For a decorative bed or a dry creek bed, River Rock and Natural Pea Gravel both work, and Natural Pea Gravel suits walkways and patio borders.

Ground and Conditions in Robbinsville

Work here runs through most of the year. Frozen or waterlogged ground mainly slows base and grading work in mid-winter and after long wet spells, so time a delivery around that window.

Freeze-thaw comes every winter, but milder and with much less snow than in the northern hills. Frost depth is 3 ft in Mercer County under the NJ residential code, so footings and base depths need to account for that.

Flat ground and clay layers slow drainage in low spots. Heavy rain from summer storms, nor'easters and tropical systems backs up creeks running to the Delaware River and Raritan Bay, and runoff scours creek banks and bare slopes in downpours.

That is the case for a drainage layer under a base, not just a thicker one. On a low Robbinsville lot, put washed stone where the water collects, then compact quarry process over it at the right depth.
