Materials for Salem Projects

Quarry process, also called QP, 3/4 inch QP or DGA, is the standard New Jersey base material. Spread it in lifts and compact each one, and you get a base that carries a truck without pumping. Use it under driveways, parking pads, shed bases and the setting bed for pavers.

Crusher run works the same way where a binding, compacting blend is wanted. Quarry process is the usual choice for base work around Salem County, with crusher run as your alternate.

For the wearing surface, 3/4 inch trap rock is the hard, dark crushed stone this state is known for. It sheds water, holds up to plowing and stays put on a compacted base. Topping an existing drive is a common use for driveway gravel.

Stone dust, or screenings, is the usual setting bed over a QP base for pavers and flagstone. It packs firm and takes a joint fill well. Fill dirt, called clean fill, raises grade and backfills before any base goes down.

For drainage, #57 stone and drain rock go into French drains, drywells and downspout runs. We also stock mason sand, washed sand, Natural Pea Gravel and river rock for the finishing work.

Ground and Conditions in Salem

Salem sits in the Inner Coastal Plain, where layered sand, silt and clay hold water better than the sands farther southeast. Flat ground and clay layers slow drainage in low spots, so water has nowhere to go after a heavy storm.

Summer downpours, nor'easters and tropical systems back up creeks running to the Delaware River. Runoff scours bare slopes and creek banks, so plan a drainage layer before you lay base.

Under the NJ residential code, frost depth in Salem County is 2 ft 6 in. That is milder than the northern hills, but freeze-thaw still moves a shallow base. Dig deep enough and compact in lifts.

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.
